Disco Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 The old 4-5-1 against 4-6-0. Bring back the glory days of the 2-3-5 I say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Craig-NUFC Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Think France would have a better outlet if they played Giroud replacing Ribery and have Benzema playing behind. Obviously that's too attacking though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Germany are the only team that has played front-foot attacking football in the tournament. Russia did, too. Spain, France, Holland, Denmark... Denmark? Dutch were nowt nor something. Spain have been dull and unadventurous apart from the Ireland game. France have been OK at an absolute best. Playing without getting anybody into the box. Average against us, poor against Sweden and might ruin it altogether here. It's generally been a good tournament though so can't complain too much.

And one reason less to hate Bayern. Important, as I have a feeling that they'll face Barca next season in the Champions League... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same as in the first game for long parts of the game. Second half Arshavin was too tired to produce anything of note and also Poland were really going for their goal.

ponsaelius Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Btw there is merits to playing the game a different way. Italy haven't been all guns blazing but I have enjoyed their style of play. England have been entertaining in a very basic kind of way, apart from the 2nd half against France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
