Argentina v. Serbia & Montenegro

[DaGaffer]

fucking hell they were good. Compare and contrast with last night and we are so fucked if we play them.

 

[Trem]

If we play them we are majorly out the competition.

If we play Italy, Holland, Czech Republic, Ivory Coast, Brazil and Germany we are equally fucked imho.

That Argie, Requlme or whatever his name is, is amazing, great player.

I see the England players raising their game against bigger teams, svens tactics or no.

Agreed, unless England raise thier game big time we are on a hiding to nothing. The tempo and energy shown in the first couple of games have been nothing short of shameful.

TBH I have not seen any of those teams play any better than England so far

(NB I don't support England)

Ch3tan ftw, you negative fekkers

The only reason the USA got a 1-1 had a lot to do with them getting all 9 men they had left behind the ball then being a dirty bunch of bastards when it came down to it (sorry Uncle Sam, but blatantly just pushing the opposition over isn't really a tackle, not in our football anyway). Hope they win against Ghana then go out, tis no mor than they deserve. OK De Rossi's elbow was stupid, but the first US red card was just as bad imo, Pirlo was lucky to have an ankles left aftet that. I'd still fancy the Italians in a match against the english, they're too honest to resort to Yankee tactics and so predictable Nesta and Cannavaro would have most of your moves covered.

there's no way they deserve to win against Ghana. They've played some wonderful offensive football, unlike most other teams in the tournament. I hope Italy and USA gets sent out, just so Czech can get Koller back, and play a little more offensive.

You have obviously not watched any of the other matches, Equador have played better than England over their 2 games. Ghana, Ivory Coast, Holland, Italy, Argentina, Spain. have all played better than England.

I was watching the Italy game and found it so fucking funny, they are usually rolling all over the place when someone breathes on them it was nice to see the Americans giving them something to fall over for fucking Italians (cheating twats).

I see this a lot at work.

"England were shite" - but won both games. Did they just get lucky?
"Brazil were shite, Australia were WAY better" - but Australia lost? Did Brazil get lucky and Australia were unlucky to concede two goals? Shut the fuck up.

Either way you look at it, some of the "shite" teams are through to the second round.

Thus, my conclusion is that I think that some of the "bigger" teams might be showing a little restraint in the face of the "get everyone behind the ball" attitude of the lesser teams.

It won't really start until the second round, then we may perhaps see England take it up a notch. They've done enough to get through comfortably, a win against Sweden would be nice to win the group overall.

Footballers are fucking poofs, they should play a game of rugby to really see what it's like having an 18 stone man pushing you to the ground.

Theatrical nonsense.

I love the way they get stretchered off and get what I call "The Magic Spray" which all of a sudden takes what looks like a broken ankle, unbreaks it and allows them to carry on as normal.

It's laughable, the Italians are one of the worst (if not the worst) team for it.

No I have watched them all. Its just I have a different opinion. Thats ok right?

 

[Ch3tan]

Well technically your right, you haven't seen them play any better than England, because you haven't seen them at all.
