Unofficial Pre FIFA World Cup 2010 Thread

lol, was a funny match, reminds me of the match against USA, just that USA is 100 times better than switzerland.

 

With Luis Aragones this wouldn't had happened, just like he did against Italy, if the opponents are defending well, then we should better defend ourselves, any Italian coach would have got a 0-0 from that match, but the spannish dudes want to smash all opponents O_o.

[Codo]

Come on Gonzalo, this goal was a joke, this could have happened to any team of the world, even to the inventors of the catenaggio.

 

The Switzerland played well, really good defence to stop your spectaculare offense. And of course they had so much luck. Spain was my favourite before the WC and this game did not change my POV.

 

To me Argentina, Germany and Spain made the best games in the first round. Despite the fact that Brazil won and Italy, France and England scored a draw. Spain played MUCH better then they did.

[Fluffy]

yeah but we need something extra on offence or all that ball handling will be worth nothing. Of course if we happen to score soon the match is almost over.

Experience the world cup for yourself from the comfort of BBF

I'm just reading text commentary. It says they disallowed a goal of yours but it shouldn't have been.

 

REAL CONTROVERSY! Donovan's free-kick is volleyed into the net by Edu but it is disallowed! Hard to see the foul as there were so many bodies in the area. Replays only indicate three US players being held by Slovenian defenders.

To paraphrase Maradona, gwnn: "que lo chupe y siga chupandolo"

[gwnn]

England 2 1 0

USA 1 2 0

Slovenia 1 1 1

Algeria 0 0 3

There is no controversy, german TV resolved this situation to xx single moments,

there was no offside for sure.

There were 3 parallel duels>>> man to man, no signs for a foul in x single settings

If anything, there were about 3 US players being held rather tightly around their waists.

[gwnn]

hey I just realised there will be two days of pause before the quarter finals, I think this is new isn't it? it sounds like a stupid idea.

 

Hm apparently not new. Still sounds like a stupid idea.

Quite right, if there was any foul, it should have been a penalty for USA!

[Hanoi5]

Some US players pointed that at the moment I think. I think the goal should have been left, it would have been the right penalty for the Slovakians who (at least at the moment) were not playing very good, or fair.

[gwnn]

Slovenia!=Slovensko

[jjbrr]

I just watched the highlights. Did the ref really give the guy a yellow for getting hit in the face with the ball?

yes. the guy should have known better than let his head get in the way of the ball.

[Aberlour10]

This is the weakest english team in living memory

To be fair, there was a huge USA flop that led to this kick so maybe it's just karma.
