Good bit of commentary from Neville that might have slipped through during the first half with the worry of what was happening.

 

Tyler: 'Demichelis, who many thought was signed as a stop gap, yet here he is starting a cup final...'

Neville: 'Well I've not seen him stop many gaps.'

 

:lol:

Demichelis hasn't been that bad tbh. He reminds a bit of Colo. Assured on the ball. Likes to anticipate passes and nip ahead of attackers. Also has 0 desire to get involved in a leg race.

 

He had a 30min spell against Chelsea in midfield where he won loads of balls and was playing decently, that said he's not supposed to start for a team that wants to win the Premier League. But I do agree with you that he's not as bad as everyone is trying to make him out to be.

He even got blamed for that mackem goal :lol: when it couldn't have been any clearer that Kompany dropped a bollock.

 

Demichelis let Borini run past him and failed to cover back. Lescott would've bust a gut to get back imo even if he'd let him past in the first place.

Kompany should have easily dealt with that, all he has to do is shepherd him down the line, instead he commits himself and let's him in. He perhaps missed the run, but the rest is all on kompany

 

 

Hadn't seen the goal until now, how the fuck is Demichelis to blame for that goal? Like you say, completely Kompany's fault.

I agree Kompany is the biggest culprit but Demichelis was also at fault. It wasn't just the passing of responsibility onto Kompany but the failure of trying to get back imo.

He's just so slow, Borini drags him towards the half way line then easily spins away from him, Kompany goes off in pursuit and ends up being skinned, Demichelis is just jogging back though. For this goal. Kompany is definitely the one at fault but it basically also highlights just how shit Demichelis is even if he wasn't to blame for the goal directly.

Japan solidifying their reputation before the World Cup. 3-0 up against New Zealand after 11minutes. Okazaki, Kagawa and Honda might prove dangerous in that group. Think it's going to be heck of a group if Greece can stop the other teams. Can see everyone finishing on 4 points or something or any 3 on 6p.

4-0. I realize New Zealand aren't very good but 4-0 after 18minutes is quite impressive.

 

:okay:

 

Honestly didn't even know we were playing tonight.  Apparently we've just got a bunch of A-League players out there.... and Chris Wood.

 

Who scored. 4-1.

Some really interesting games today.

 

South Africa v Brazil at 6PM (GMT+1) last game before the final squad for the World Cup for Brazil. So time to shine for players like Fernandinho and Rafinha.

Belgium v Ivory Coast at 8.45PM (GMT+1) Two teams that are good enough to reach a quarterfinal at the World Cup.

Germany v Chile same time as above. Two teams that play excellent football and Chile will get the best preparation before playing Spain and Holland in the World Cup.

France v Netherlands at 9PM (GMT+1) Two teams that aren't in their best moments footballing wise but that have players good enough to play a World Cup semifinal.

Spain v Italy at 10PM(GMT+1). Diego Costa debut as well as a game between the Euro finalists. Will be heck of an interesting game.
