Kagawa is the man of the tournament until now. He can create so much. Unbelievable player, definitely watching more of Man U next season.

 

Modest. It's got to be Neymar so far imo.

 

That touch off the chest/second touch to take it away from the defender/shot was an absolutely unreal bit of play. Ridiculous control.

Not being modest at all, Neymar against Japan was one wonder goal and then disappeared completely. Today he was much much better and was decisive and had two great plays. But the thing is, Kagawa is surrounded by Honda, Okazaki and then a lot of very average players and he makes them look better. Against Brazil he tried to create but without any help. I don't know might just be his style of play that I love, him and Iniesta are so great on the ball in different ways. Both protect it so well.

Spain are 1/500 to win tomorrow.

 

I've never seen odds anything close to that before.

 

Hope they aren't dicks and don't go into double figures.

 

They will do well if it's 15 or less.

 

Think you may be going a tad overboard :lol:

Personally I think we'll score less than Nigeria, we tend to switch off in games against minor opposition after getting a comfortable lead.

 

You could switch off and still score against this lot, Nigeria were misplacing passes and still ended up going through on goal. As long as saldado/nando don't try and round the keeper every time like the Nigerians did, it should be at least 10. Nigeria were shocking, unbelievably bad and they scored 6, if they had any sort of knowledge of the offside rule or someone told them they can score past the keeper without it being an open goal, it would have been a heck of a lot more. They were that bad, Tahiti should have had a couple themselves.

Didn't watch the game to be frank, but it looked like a good win for Nigeria. Are Tahiti *that* bad then?

 

Yeah, this isn't just minor opposition.  It's an actual pub team.  San Marino would turn them over.

 

And Nigera were pretty poor.  So greedy in front of goal, barely anyone was passing or making runs for one and other.  They seemed to have some obsession with rounding the keeper?  Every time they did bother to work the ball and run into the channel they carved through like a hot knife through air.

Said the same not many agreed. I think San Marino would beat them by two goals or three. Tahiti were doing quite well, but it wasn't because of their footballing ability. Jesus Navas and Pedro would have a field day against taht high line back five.
