Robben calculated to have run at "10.28s 100m" pace in that sprint for his goal on Friday night. Pace!
Soo far Germany and the Netherlands have looked the teams to beat. Its crazy that Germany still have such depth even with: Gundogan, Sven Bender, Lars Bender, Badstuber all injured.
Not sure which annoyed me more Iran's parking the bus or Nigeria's inability to have a useful final ball
Eh? Whether or not Muller exaggerated like a tart (and he did) Pepe still caught him in the face when he didn't need to have his arms flailing about. Regardless, the ref had spotted it and rightly chosen to ignore it. A much stronger message would have been to have Pepe completely ignore or, better yet, point and laugh at what an idiot Muller had made of himself. As it was what he did was lunacy and played right into the German's hands. It's no worse than Simeone's dramatic fall when Beck's flicked his foot out. There are players who will try these tactics and mind games and you need to be intelligent. Pepe, throughout his history, has shown he's almost full ******.
