Mike Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Christ, I hate this. You beat Algeria, and then England and Slovenia walk around the park eating fucking sandwiches for 90 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 They might still only need a draw if we don't get a few goals against Algeria. All this draw has done is give Slovenia something to play for. They always have something to play for, they'll want to win the group like any other team. The difference is if they'd won today they'd probably only need a draw to win the group. I want Slovenia to need to win, makes then easier to break down. If Ghana win, the prize for winning Group C could be a nice knockout game against Germany. You don't have to be scared of Slovenia to realize that it's preferable to play a team who don't need a result. The flip side of Dave's argument is 'its fucking Slovenia - if you can't break them down when they don't need a fucking result then you might as well go home' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Christ, I hate this. You beat Algeria, and then England and Slovenia walk around the park eating fucking sandwiches for 90 minutes. You'll still get above Slovenia if you get a better GD and beat Algeria. Really, it's all up to you to do it tbh. As you get through with a win if one of England/Slovenia win, and you can get through with GD if it becomes a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Keown: "He's holding his face, I don't know why" Err that's cause he just smashed his face off the deck you daft t***! Was not talking about the injured Slovenia player that went off? Nah, he was talking about Dempsey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports shouldn't be able to do this to a person. Just shaking my head. I mean...what was wrong with that goal? What did he even think he saw? Why not ask a linesman? What happened? Jesus.

You don't have to be scared of Slovenia to realize that it's preferable to play a team who don't need a result. We can't look at things based on who we don't want to play "lets finish second because Ghana might finish top", we don't even know for sure who will finish where, we should just be looking to win the group. As I said Slovenia will never have nothing to play for IMO, all that can change is what they have to play for, and I'd feel much more comfortable if they had to come out and play us. Obviously we disagree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The problem with the non-goal is that he was looking directly at Bocanegra who was man-handling his dude, although it was totally 50/50. If he were looking at anyone else it would've stood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
