i mean when Gekas was to shoot, we all knew he was going to miss it.
cannot understand why the coach put him up to shoot penalty; he was slow during the whole game. and meh, the coach left the field, when they started shooting? what kind of attitude was this. im not an expert, football if its slow can put me to sleep. overall, i think we were playing good, even if 1st half was very conservative. soo many missed chances though, no wonder costa-rica won. and costa-rica was really admirable during the extra time. so well done and fuck off. (no, ok). nah..fuck off. |
I think your coach was sent off by the referee for arguing over something. He wasn't abandoning the players. Greece played like Greece. If anything they seemed a little more attack-minded than normal but they're not a team that's easy for the neutral to follow. Costa Rica are no better, and when two such tactically similar teams play each other they inevitably end up cancelling each other out.

O Σάντος δεν μπορεσε να διαχειριστεί ούτε τις τρίχες της μύτης του
But not really, he’s done fantastically well with a below average side. |

^^ jico speaks greek? i'm impressed. the google translate said something about hairs of the nose ha ha ha.
but don't know what you guys are talking about -- i have musa, benzema and enyeama on today's fantasy game. :eek: (ditched karnezis, maniatis, marquez and herrera and all of their collective 13pts) |
Hahahaha.. my fucking friend txtd me during that match saying, "The Greek coach needs to trim his fucking nose hairs."
priceless! |
i'm enjoying nigeria's attacks! standing up very well to france.
end of this first half they seemed to fall back a bit though. some of their defendng has been sloppy (i can't recall the name of the player who instead of clearing gave the ball to who seemed to be pogba right on the edge of the area) |

Ha. Well he took advantage of it now. |
fuckity fuck, i had a business call that kept me from seeing that.
and now the own goal gringos have no respect for the game and will call during world cup matches. |
Gonna have to add Valbuena to the list of players of the tournament so far.
|
hummels ill. there goes my fucking fantasy defense.
|
Algeria can't have that many chances and not score. Germany are bound to improve in the second half and I can see Algeria walking away with nothing now. Hope I'm wrong.

You think you've got problems. I've got 4 Algerians in play and only one of them's actually on the pitch. This round is crucifying me. |

-- and algeria is making germany suffer! neuer as a sweeper. i keep hearing about revenge from 1982. algeria playing great or germany playing terrible? ozil the new bradley, ha ha ha. --- ETA: great game! ozil redeemed himself in the end. great effort by everyone. algeria fantastic and mbolhi a hero. |
Ozil's goal papered over the cracks of an otherwise pretty mediocre performance. Never saw him that much when he was in La Liga but the general impression since joining the Prem seems to be that he drifts in and out of games and struggles to last a full 90 mins. Definite evidence of the former tonight but nobody could say he was guilty of the latter - in tonight's game anyway.
On balance Germany did probably deserve the win but if they play like that against better forwards they won't be able to rely on making another late recovery. Saying all that, watching Algeria in the first half I'm starting to come around to your argument for the US going for the jugular against Belgium tomorrow. And Luis says sorry. And Chiellini says forget about it |

well, chiellini is no saint himself-- one sinner forgives another-- nice.
![]() besides, chiellini got even with his elbow, right on the spot. no need to stay sore, ha ha. ![]() |

this is how i'd do it: ---------------------HOWARD----------------------- JOHNSON----GONZALEZ----BESLER------BEASLEY BEDOYA/ZUSI--BRADLEY--BECKERMANN--JONES ---------------------DEMPSEY----------------------- ---------------------ALTIDORE----------------------- 1) Pull back Bradley to sit as holding midfielder. He can help put a damper on the Belgian attack. When free, he can serve long balls well (when jammed, he's useless and invites counters). 2) Channel our attack through the flanks (because Belgium has no real fullbacks) 3) Dempsey in the hole to take advantage his good dribbling/creative ability 4) Jozy as a pure center forward to save his legs |
