World Cup thread

Kyle almost called it! Some terrible efforts for penalties at the end. Swift bookings are needed to cull this nonsense.

What a goal by Tim Cahill.

Totally agree bear, great technique. The Aussies are certainly putting themselves about.

 

[TheBear]

As much as the Dutch have great players I always feel they are mentally weak.

 

[Krome]

They have 2 great players, the rest are fairly meh

 

[TheBear]

This is turning into a great World Cup.

Vidal is one to watch Chile V Spain, he is a beast.

Even a draw would mean Spain would have to overcome a 6 goal spread. Realistically if they fail to win they are eliminated

 

[Han Shot First]

You chilean beauties.

 

[PINKIE]

Lovely goal from Chile

 

[gent]

Wow exquisite goal.


Wenger is somewhere commentating on Spain's needed "Mental Strengs" to come back right now.

 

[TheOXOCube:5pur2]

Spain have been figured out. Rely too much on aging Real and Barca players and not trying anything new and rewarding more deserving players with caps. Their success has made them cocky and it has become their undoing

 

[TheBear]

I don't think Spain have been 'found out'.

- Puyol has retired and Xavi seems to be waining - Perhaps their two most influential players.

- That and the fact Villa and Torres are both passed it which means they now have absolutely no pace in the side.




... I would just like to point out I predicted neither Spain or Brazil would win this World Cup.

For me its Germany or Argentina.

Game Over Spain.

 

[TheBear]

Game Over Spain.

Crazy! Casillas is having a nightmare WC.

 

[Han Shot First]

Casillas is a joke, Mourinho knew to drop him.

 

[Han Shot First]

Can we play like Chile?

 

[gent]

Also, I think the midfielders they picked for the squad were way too similar. No options for a plan B. I was shocked when I saw that Jesus Navas wasn't selected for example, while they had like 4-5 'clone' midfielders in there.

 

[PINKIE]

Bye Bye Spain

 

[TheOXOCube:5pur2]

Spain are done. So unimaginative and stale it's embarrassing
