Kaizero Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 It's just having a team that has everything to lose playing against a team that has everything to win will always be more entertaining for a neutral eye than a match between two sides that has everything to lose, imo that is anyways.

Guest optimistic nit Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 romania don't have everything to win against france then? defeat in this game would be a national dissapointment? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Its not clever football tho is it? I'd say it is, yes. hoofing long balls up to Carew and harewood, clever. Dear god. No its not clever football. Clever football comes from intelegent footballers who create play and openings, touch,pulling defenders out of position with your passing and movement etc If you think its clever football to hoof long balls from centre backs up to your front men then you are sadly mistaken. What i will agree with you on is that it was an option he had, which worked. What would he have dont if KK had put on Faye who could deal with such a bombardment. No its not clever.

You'd think so, but it seems they've gone all Greece-like in their way of play rather than fancying their chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 International football is normally s*** without the South Americans. The ANC had a lot of goals early doors it seems. Yeah some teams where extremely wank but.. it helps for entertainment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Holland and Portugal are the answer, brilliant football by both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Holland and Portugal are the answer, brilliant football by both. Imo it's the overall mind frame of the participants that really count not 1 or 2 individual teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 La Liga, is generally entertaining, of course there are shit teams, but if you watch Athletico Madrid for example its usually fun to watch. Holland took the piss tonight was really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblemaster Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 i cant blame romania for playing the way they did agaisnt france. THey have a limited team and used it brillantly against a better side. Cant recall seeing a team `stodge` an opponent out ofthe game as effectively as they did. Was a great example of how to defend. HOlland and portugal have benn class, and iam looking forward to following spain and russia too. Rest of the teams are looking very ave so far.
