2014 FIFA World Cup Brasil™ - Europe vs. America


Recommended Posts

Colombia have actually been all fart and no s***. James Rodriguez playing like a barbie doll. If Greece had anything about them, they would have got a result against them. Very disappointed that Colombia have been nowhere near the hype.

 

3-0 against a team which have no interest in anything but spoiling in the first game without some key players is pretty good IMO. :dontknow:

 

:lol: How the hell were the greeks only interested in spoiling the game? You must have missed all the chances/half chances they had? The score flatters Colombia imo. They haven't been THAT good. I guess I was expecting a lot more from their football. Guess I'd also have to keep in mind that it was a 1pm kickoff in searing heat. My point still stands though. Greece could have got a result if they had more quality in midfield, as Colombia took their foot off the gas completely after scoring the first goal.

 

You're also underestimating how little performances mean at this stage, winning is all that matters and they comfortably beat a team which doesn't lose all that often without really getting out of second gear.

 

Think you're being harsh personally, they did what they had to do without some key players and without having to reach their top level.

 

I completely understand that idea, had this been a meeting between two sides with a massive gulf in quality between them. This wasn't Brazil vs North Korea for example. After scoring the first goal, Colombia sat back. Greece could have (and should have) equalized within seconds. That still didn't wake the Colombians up. They were pedestrian for large parts of the match and the Greeks were getting closer. You can't tell me they just "predicted" they'd win this easily. At 1-0, it was by no means over. Not even at 2-0. I simply disagreed with their lack of urgency, as the gulf in class between the two wasn't THAT big.

#ENG Hart/Johnson Cahill Jagielka Baines/Gerrard Henderson/Lallana Sterling Rooney/Sturridge

 

Who plays on the left for Italy? As in, who will that knacker Johnson most likely come up against?

 

Chiellini might cover as left back with de rossi dropping back as a sweeper.

Lets stop anthems. They all sound shit.

 

Brazil, Italy, France and Russia say otherwise.

 

There's a few great ones, but most of them sound like people shouting out a shopping list to the Monty Python theme.
