2014 FIFA World Cup Brasil™ - Europe vs. America


Recommended Posts

Felt like Reddick when Boogie didn't shake his hand.

 

Hadn't seen that one, fucking classic Demarcus man :lol: Subtly telling the white guy to fuck off.

 

JJ's face. :lol:

Steven Gerrard didn't have his best England game having watched it again,  but neither was he shite as some are saying. He's playing a mundane role and to be fair to him hardly gave the ball away at all as Hans said. But to be clear im not saying he was good either, 6/10 performance.

So, Celso Borges then?

 

Kept things ticking over in midfield for CR. Not bad. Didn't stand out much other than that iirc.

Cheers. Players from the Swedish league really have no business starting in WC games, let alone winning games at the World Cup, so I'm over the moon for him.

I was particularly impressed with Sterlings technique and control in tight areas, a few times he turned two players and found himself in space. Looking forward to seeing more of him.

Agree wholeheartedly. He can be whatever he wants to be.

Who are our better CFs than Wayne Rooney?

 

Sturridge.

In one.

 

It's arguable at best. Though they traditionally play in different positions and it's misleading to suggest we have more than one better than Rooney.

I was prouder in that defeat than I've been in most England victories over the last few years at least. It's odd. I thought we were very good aside from when it truly mattered.

 

I thought the BBC pundits were all spot on as well.

All the positives were in our attacking play which was good, but I'm concerned with the lack of experience in the defence.

No it isn't arguable in the slightest.  Daniel Sturridge did more in one game than Wayne Rooney has in any tournament since 2004.

The match was odd because on the one hand, the future is very bright for England. All the young players looked great. On the other hand it's annoying the old guard won't wither and die despite putting in embarrassing. Rooney and Gerrard embarrassed themselves last night compared to the likes of Sturridge and Sterling. Annoys me in this country we won't drop players, no matter how shite they were if they're in favour.

Sturidge isn't better than Rooney for me, he may be in better form but a better player?

 

We could always play 2 upfront and try and get the best out of both of them

I don't think you can change the whole system you've built for two years just to accommodate a player who clearly doesn't cut it at the very top level.
