Seems both countries sent their diving squads. [:D]

I don't know what to expect in second half, it's a very tight game, I fear it might be decided on an error be it some player or god forbids, the referee. [&:]

What an excellent game Mexico did! [sm=00000436.gif]You definitely have a great squad. This is another group of death because along with Croatia that makes 3 excellent teams that could get far if you ask me.

And tonight I won't be missing Russia vs South Korea. I never saw them playing under Capello. Let's see what the Italian has accomplished.



shunwick -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/17/2014 10:21:00 PM)

Yes. I really like this Mexican team. Brazil have not impressed me that much so far. Huge pressure on them of course. They are a good team but not a great team I think.

Best wishes,
Steve

Yeah cerebral game, maybe equivalent to a pitching match in baseball, or maybe not.

Mexico has a great goalkeeper. Ochoa saved at least three sure goals.



TulliusDetritus -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/17/2014 11:18:24 PM)

After half Russia - South Korea match... er... I give up [:D]

Russia = Catenaccio from the Steppes (so this is what Capello did, I should have known better [:D])

South Korea = they run and run and run... like headless chickens, going nowhere. Someone should tell them that it's more intelligent to make the *ball* run, instead of the players. More efficient, less tiring LOL Someone possibly told them so but they answered him that they didn't have players that could make the ball run in the first place. So keep running until the end of the match or drop dead!



cohimbra -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/17/2014 11:40:07 PM)

What do you do Akinfeev?! Russia play very very bad, perfect Capello style...as you say, 100% old italian catenaccio style.
Yesterday I saw USA-Ghana, and I'm impressed by USA mental solidity. They can do well. We'll see. Ghana is like other African teams: great power without control. I expected more from they. All in all, Mexico played a great match versus a mediocre Brazil. Only Dani Alves and Marcelo played adequate to his reputation. But, as always, Brazil can win all matches if decided to play for at least 5 minutes.

Interesting stat. Apparently only Argentina and Uruguay have beaten Brazil more than Mexico.

Mexico genuinely believe they can go a long way in this tournament. I wonder?

Even if Croatia win tonight Mexico only need a draw in the final game to go through.

I have to 'splain it because it involves irony.
Scoring at will in other sports that have point scores most often would entail a high score and for that matter scoring.

If we had in football results like 80 - 82 then it would not be football but basketball [8D]

Also note how small the basket (in basketball) is and yet they easily score many points. And now think about the HUGE football goal... Yes, that huge thing should be swallowing many many goals. But er... it doesn't. Why? Because all things being equal scoring is not that easy, go figure [;)]

In other words, football is football, not basketball.

Anyway....


....a very good goal by Robben....and a minute later a stunner from Tim Cahill - Q-U-A-L-I-T-E-E-E [&o][&o][8D][8D]



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 4:32:48 PM)

The Aussies are all over the Dutch here......they really should be in the lead [X(]

LOLOL

Do not tell me the Dutch are going to implode right now! Back in Euro 2008 they had trashed IIRC France and Italy and then imploded big time.

They seem bipolar [8D]

They've just had Martens Indi carried off with a nasty looking one..... Cahill booked for the reckless challenge and misses the last game. If Australia don't lose this they will regret that....



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:03:51 PM)

Australia take the lead!!!......but its disallowed...... [:(]



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:04:50 PM)

Its all kicking off Prue!!!!

Van Persie booked for a nasty raised arm - and he too misses the next match......



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:10:31 PM)

PENALTY TO THE OZZIES!!!!!!!!!



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:12:10 PM)

2-1 Australia!!!!!! Jedinak of Crystal Palace buries it in the bottom left hand corner.....

Amazing stuff....



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:13:47 PM)

The lowest ranked team in the tournament are taking the Dutch apart.....



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:15:36 PM)

.....and then van Persie levels! 2-2




warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:21:11 PM)

Half an hour to go - its end to end stuff.



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:23:04 PM)

Van Persie very lucky... follows through on Jedinak and gets away with it. The Palace defender is as lucky not to get injured as van Persie is to still be on the pitch.....



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:27:27 PM)

NOOOOOO!!!!!!! How did that happen??????

Australia should be 3-2 ahead - a glaring miss by Leckie - but instead the Dutch charge upfield and the substitute Depay scores from long range. They are blaming the keeper but the ball swung viciously....

Australia 2-3 Holland

Come on Socceroos - you don't deserve to lose this.



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:29:49 PM)

Into the final 20.... Cahill substituted. Is that it now for the Ozzies?



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:31:28 PM)

Uh-oh... free-kick just outside the box for the Dutch in a central position......


.....but Robben hits it straight at the keeper.



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:31:49 PM)

It's all Holland now....



Kanov -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:32:55 PM)

Pretty good game... and I'm not watching it [:(]

can't find a good stream



warspite1 -> RE: Most Unofficial Brazil 2014 World Cup Thread (6/18/2014 5:33:38 PM)

Not pretty good - absolutely end to end [&o]
