Mike Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 1-0 El Salvador. What a fucking move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 How did Salvador score? (watching the basketball) Four or five simple passes, overlapping runs, defensive miscues and a massive gap between the shooter and the nearest defender. Blasted low into the opposite corner.

Is that really what happened? or are you just rewatching the Arsenal match? Meh...I think I'll watch this on ESPN 360 later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7971140.stm Ivorian stadium stampede kills 19 At least 19 people have died in a crush at a football stadium during a World Cup qualifier in Ivory Coast. Fans panicked after a wall collapsed at the Houphouet-Boigny arena in the West African country's largest city of Abidjan, reports say. At least 36,000 spectators were in the stadium, where hosts Ivory Coast beat Malawi 5-0. The BBC's Ivory Coast correspondent John James says police tried in vain to control the panicking crowd. He says the stadium was packed for the return of Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, who scored twice. Hundreds of fans have died in recent years during riots and stampedes at football games across Africa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrette Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Brazil's defending has been atrocious. Their offensive play has been poor too but they've getting back into it a little bit more in the last couple of minutes. It's on Sky Sports 2 also.

Yorkie Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 What are Brazil like atm? Can remember prior to WC06 they were definites to win the thing, and ended up being pretty unspectacular. Is Dunga still coach? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 This is the worst Brazil team in ages I reckon. Ronaldinho is a shadow of his former self. Kaka is overrated (but still good) and not in the league of Messi, Ronaldo, Gerrard and Torres. Robinho overrated as well. Elano can't even get his game for Man City half the time. Dani Alves is world class (their best player atm) Defence rubbish as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Dunga really has been under pressure, the results have been mixed, some good performances like a 4-0 away win, then other games they've been piss poor. In typical Brazil style as you've probably seen on the red tops this week, the team were partying as soon as they touched down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find that a bit baffling too? The fact Dunga never tries both Maicon and Alves. I know both are Right Backs at club level, but both do race forward, so you'd think one could play further up or on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know both are Right Backs at club level, but both do race forward, so you'd think one could play further up or on the left. A classic mistake many make thinking attacking fullbacks can play further up the pitch, they are good at attacking from deep with plenty of pitch in front of them. Look at R.Carlos when he was at Inter because he liked to attack R.Hodgson played him a LM/LW. Arsne moved Ash Cole to Lb from LW for the same reason. Bridge is another who worked his way backwards as his early appearance for the Southampton were as a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it can be done but the pair of them are limited when they play in a more advance role. Playing Maicon in the other wing back position is a better option.

Syrette Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ecuador have been very unlucky but to be fair at the end of the day they've not put the ball in the back of the net so they've only got themselves to blame. Too many shots from range also. They've got decent wide players so I'm not sure why they don't utilise their width a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
