I'm still trying to work out how Heskey got picked ahead of Ms Piggy! ;-)
Miss Piggy is a guaranteed a red card each match for beating the living daylights out of somebody on the pitch. albeit an opponent, member of her own team or the referee. So Hesky would always be picked before her.
How come you picked Suarez to wear the number 4 shirt for us? ;) :-))
Is it really true you can't watch anything from the World Cup? I feel sorry for you... :( Don't the Japanese realize they are themselves represented in this World Cup?
May I recommend you to download the ZDF Mediathek and ARD FIFA WM App (if possible in Nippon) on your computer, tablet, whatever. These are German TV stations and they are having a lot of live coverage of the WC.
If nothing else, the US participated in the first ever water break in World Cup history. Didn't even last a minute and presumably it was added to the extra time. Not a bad idea.
What's an 'outside shot'?
A lot of drama in tonight's games
May Ronaldo die of syphilis.
Kinda hoping for a Portugal-Ghana tie.
It's Ghana the US have to be worried about.
I do hope that Chili makes him pay for this negative football.
Really Leroy Fer, you beautiful basterd.
The great Johan Cruyff has been pretty vocal about his distaste for "the modern Orange", and I don't expect his opinion will change with this campaign. There's simply not much Dutch heritage in this side, and I guess this is stylistically as far away from Total Football as any stereotypical Italy or Germany side have been throughout history. This is basically a cynical side intent on compensating for an inexperienced defence by playing very deep with five defenders at the back. Not least today when a goalless draw is enough to secure group victory, then that's what they play for. They scored in abundance against Spain... because the Spanish back four and Casillas seemed to be in christmas mode and Robben and van Persie were able to exploit the gifts they were given. Against Australia too they played deep and benefited from a defensive blunder, a badly placed offside trap and a shot every international goalkeeper should take. That doesn't make them entertaining though, I'm sorry to say... At least not for me...
Of course they are allowed to be cynical as much as any other team, and I don't intend to be overly critical of the Dutch in particular. But I do get confused and a little annoyed when it's labeled an undisputed fact that Holland deserve everyone's good will because they are "entertaining" and play "immaculate" football. This side isn't attacking minded, and they're not entertaining! The closest you'll get to Total Football today is with Spain and Argentina. The technically gifted Dutch side that passed the opposition to Death, is a thing of the past. And I do miss them...
And Jobo 9 points from such a strong group still is quite a feat even if their style of football not as attractive as in 1974/78.
They did end in the finals last time and I did not enjoy that either, but they are flipping effective I give them that.
