Ameritoon Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Can't believe we just ignored all passing after spending two years under Klinsmann looking like a decent footballing team. Gotta think that will change, especially if Johannsson starts now. Also, Beasley off for Chandler next time and all is well. Great start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta think that will change, especially if Johannsson starts now. Also, Beasley off for Chandler next time and all is well. Great start Klinsmann put that down to the aggressive physicality of the ghanaians. If that's the case, we should look a little better against the bunch of sloppy wet Iberian vaginas we'll play on sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I am so tired of supporting Nigeria. I will hold back criticism for now, as a result against Bosnia (seemingly unlikely, I know) would likely assure qualification and don't want to pull the trigger too quickly. But today, every thing was awful. Every aspect of the game. It is lucky that Iran were also rubbish and played cowardly (They might have stopped parking the bus when they realised we had no threat) because a loss would have been deserved. It has been this way since Confed Cup, and it makes one question what is really going on with this team because this is not normal. People kept telling me that the tournament last summer and all these friendlies didn't matter, but here we are on the world's biggest stage being thoroughly outclassed by Iran. Once again, making complete buffoons of ourselves. The players don't even seem to be exerting anything other than the bare minimum (see Obi Mikel, John: midfield dynamo from ACN and Confed Cup walking around in slow motion serially losing the ball) and the fraud Keshi isn't fussed. A waste. Ghana-US match was very entertaining. I don't believe Germany intends on exiting this group with anything less than nine points and a massive goal differential, so the US-Portugal game is absolutely crucial. Ghana aren't dead yet, either. A scenario where Germany ends on nine points, while every else has three is highly probable, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesPaul Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It's been a fantastic World Cup so far but the last two games yesterday were a massive drop in quality. Thankfully none of the four teams involved should get out of their groups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korea always do quite well (relatively) in the WC tournament. Plus they are my 4th seed. Germany, Holland & Spain have all won so far, want a clean sweep first round.

Kanj Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I hated every minute of our game plan despite the goals. It was so Pardew-esque it pissed me off. As soon as we scored we sat back and played deep which wasn't our game at all. I'm a bit upset about Jozy's injury, even though I prefer Johannsson up top. We fought though, we executed, didn't lose and when we needed a goal to win - we did it. Hopefully we play a more passing and effective game on Sunday versus a Portugal side who probably be coming out the gates rabid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Must've been the only one to enjoy Ghana-USA. 2nd half was quality, Ghana knocking on the door constantly, albeit with a total lack of any sort of intelligence whatsoever. Pure greed took over, some astronomically thick/selfish shots. But generally they were very energetic and USA were lucky to win. But win they did, thought the likes of Johnson and Cameron impressed. However... Robbie Savage being able to express any sort of opinion on football, let alone co-commentate at the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 There will always be one game which immortalises Muntari, and that's when for Inter he came on, within a couple of minutes got booked for a foul, then got a 2nd yellow card immediately after handling it when the ball hit him from the resulting free kick. Fucking numpty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
