Jacaylbaro Posted June 14, 2010 They really disappointed me there ...... blame it on the coach or the players but I'm not so sure if they are ready to move on with this tournament. This was just Germany ,, imagine if they face Argentina or Brazil ,,,,,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abtigiis Posted June 14, 2010 Australia did not play that bad. I don't think they are a bad side. but they are an ageing side and I normally don't like old players. Yet, I am sure they will bounce back and give Ghana and Serbia tough games. Brazil will win tomorrow, but they should not peak early like the Germans. They will produce their best form in the third game against Portugal, and by then they are already on six points. They will beat Ivory Coast, two goals from set-pieces will do.

NGONGE Posted June 14, 2010 ^^ Australia played totally the wrong tactics, saaxib. Like Oz said, the entire blame is on the coach. The minute he saw that his midfielders were outnumbered and that Ozil had the freedom of the park, he should have changed tactics and put an extra man in midfield. Germany were good but they really were not tested and were allowed to pass the ball around without being pressured much. The Aussie defenders were leaving huge spaces behind them and allowing Podolski & Muller to run into these spaces (not once, not twice but for the entire match). Germany are not likely to have such freedom against Ghana who play five in the middle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N.O.R.F Posted June 14, 2010 Denmark - Agger Holland - Babel and Kuyt Hope Babel plays. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted June 14, 2010 ^^ The first game in the world cup that I didn't get to watch so far. Doesn't sound like I'm missing much though. Norf, are Holland playing two holding midfielders? Aaax ya Lucas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abtigiis Posted June 14, 2010 I managed to watch the first half as it coincides with my lunch break. Very boring game. But Holland is on the attack, and Denmark is creating chances with the counter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeeKer Posted June 14, 2010 ^I would like to see all you bullies muffled bal How come I am the only American you don't want posting on a football thread? There are plenty who post here and I don't see you chomping at the bit for them. Ps:- New York Post is the equivalent of the rag you guys find in buses and tube stations in london :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted June 14, 2010 ^^ Our tabloids are actually the best for Football news. And about you being the only one; well, I'm being clearly sexist here. Besides, the rest of the Americans who post here actually have no idea what we are talking about. They keep referring to it as soccer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
