the ghana RB has impressed with his stamina. midtable team should be in for him
outrageous by the german manager, outrageous.
That was a cuntish thing to do.
Was just a reaction to his goal.
The only player in that team I want is Asamoah...not Gyan.
wtf is gyan doing in Qatar. Sure money spks but so does self-respect.
50 goals in 160 games for Marseille isnt meh. He's a good player.
Wish that commentator would stop saying 'Edin Dzeko' every time, its petty but its really annoying, just call him by his surname like you do all the other players! he was doing it last game also.
Stats I saw were 47 goals in over 200 games for club and country
He seems like a speed merchant more often than not when I've seen him. Not particularly incisive or creative.
He's done well this world cup, but other than that I'm not sold.
What did he do?
He's done very well at Marseille. I'm not advocating a transfer as I think we can do much better. But he's a good player who know where the goal is. Always thought he'd end up at Arsenal or something but now maybe one of the bigger Italian teams.
Ghana were very impressive though. Even though it fucks up my predictions I hope they go through and knock Ronaldo out.
The ball went out of play for a Ghana throw, the Ghana player was running towards it to take it quickly to keep the attack going and he kicked it back down the pitch towards the Ghana goal. Gave his team time to get back.
That's absolute rubbish.
Are we supposed to only have what, 6 or 7 teams compete for the world cup? And how would you judge who they get to be given your assertion that stringing men behind the ball to get a result "ruins the world cup"? Cos I remember England putting 11 men behind the ball against Italy in South Africa 4 years ago desperate for a draw. Germany did it in the 2002 World Cup Final. Teams do it all the fucking time.
There's merit in a great defensive display. It's part of football, and some of the great games in this or any tournament are borne from one underdog clinging on like fuck against far more illustrious opponents.
But it's your claim that lower-ranked sides shouldn't be there that's fucking me off most to be honest. Why the fuck shouldn't they? Don't they deserve to be there? And did you pick Costa Rica to be ahead of England before this World Cup? Chile to fucking whallop Spain? Did you fuck. Even the sides that haven't won, like Iran, Australia, Honduras, etc have given it a right crack in the games I've seen.
I was desperate for Iran to hang on this morning, because they're fucking Iran and they're playing against Messi and Aguero. Fuck watching some prima donna cunts swag around the pitch every game, and give me a bit of old-fashioned underdog mixing it with the very best. That's the World Cup to me anyway.
I really wanted us to sign Asamoah after the last WC, when IMO he was mustard in midfield. His performances at LB haven't impressed me as much.
That last ditch tackle wasn't too bad.
True (I'm not saying he's a poor LB) but for me he's wasted in a position where his responsibilities are predominantly defensive.
Agreed.
Now that Muntari is supended we might see him play in the central midfield unless Essien is brought on.
Yeah some good points there and then comment I made was slightly harsh but I just hate that football even when Ireland were reasonably successful under Charlton I hated watching us.
It's dire.
I don't remember England playing Italy in South Africa either so I'm not sure where you're going with that and yes I did fancy Chile been saying it for the last 6 months that they were extremely underrated and I've backed them for the World cup.
But anyway the World Cup for me is a celebration of great players having the chance to show what they can do without having lumps kicked out of them(not saying it's just Iran) but I suppose some purists would happily sit down and watch two hours of dirge dinosaur football.
Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
