World Cup 2010

[Illuminattile]

I doubt 2-2 at half time would have made the English defence any less shite. Deserved loss.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

^ Agreed. Germany deserved it. No sour grapes from me.

 

[Duke]

Of course, but c'mon, that 2-2 not being allowed is the umpteenth sign that we need technology to help the refs.

For the sake of football.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

^Oh I agree with that.

But England were outplayed, if we got through imagine Messi against that back four

 

[Kobe]

I hope it lives up to the hype, sometimes these matches can play as dead boring.

:nuts:

No way!! What a game, way beyond my expectations.

Yep, what all of you said about goal line technology.

England got rocked!! I was looking at those England players and just thinking about how I rate them so highly when I watch Premiership football. I don't know, they have the talent but they just can't seem to get their act together.

As for the Germans, pure class, brilliant football, vorsprung durch 'Jabulani' technik

 

[Bobby Sands]

i agree Duke

but the best team by a country mile won the match. Germany have far better players. way more skillful, faster, more creative,

Gareth Barry is the greatest pile of shite. absolutely useless player. Gerrard was awful too and Rooney? 0 goals in the World Cup.

England dont have a proper defensive midfielder destroyer and they have no creative natural central midfield player. In fact there is only one english player like this and he retired a few years ago. Scholes.

 

[Duke]

But was Germany so good or England so poor?

It's hard to call :S I'd like to see Germany play against a better defense. Even Argentina (Demichelis LOL) should make it MUCH harder for them than this England side.

lol

 

[Bobby Sands]

i feel the Mascherano is key for Argentina should they win and go on to play Germany.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Who was Englands best player this tournament? Tough one.

All of them were awful, Ashley Cole was probably the best due to being untested in previous games. Lawl.

 

[Duke]

Calamity James was the best for them, lmao.

 

[Bobby Sands]

James was useless in his prime at Liverpool. cost us league titles so how is he gonna be good at 40 lol

 

[Scoobyffc]

Im a bit of old school on this "technology should help?" subject
But in cases like this, I'm agree with using TV or a Computer Chip to see if the ball crossed the line...just in case of goals... not offsides or faults ....


German squad looks fine as hell, great speed and skills, I'm enjoying this young players.

I dont blame the English defeat on the refs, they fucked up, yes, but German deserved.
England played POOR defense AND offense.

Great game though!

IF...only IF, Argentina beats Mexico, its gonna be a GREAT match between them and Germany.

I don't rate James that highly, but did you see ANY England player perform to any acceptable standard this tournament?

Because I have not.

CJ wins MVP due to a lack of competition

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

A goalkeepers prime is a lot later in their career though. James saved us from losing by a bigger margin.

Glen Johnson is a useless defender, going forward hes good but that guy is never in position, im not sure how he does for Liverpool but what the fuck? Upson is awful, Terry was useless.

Midfield was awful.

Upfront was poor too

Positive: ...

 

[2Pax]

It's a shame Rio was injured he wouldn't have got bossed like Terry and Upson. Other than that same old England, just poor stuff, only this time we weren't lucky enough to fluke it to the quarters.

Shocking decision for the Lampard goal, disgraceful. Probably wouldn't have affected the outcome of the game but fuck me it was appalling. The Ref / Linesman should be demoted to Sunday League football.

But England were outplayed, if we got through imagine Messi against that back four

I'd say back three, Ashley Cole is the only player who actually turned up for England in the entire tournament.

Midfield was awful.

Upfront was poor too

Positive: ...

no he didnt because he was partially at fault for the first goal and should have stopped the 3rd one.

this has always been the way with him. he makes a great save one minute and the next he is dropping a routine shot into the net. a total fucking spacer. cant stand the cunt.

Positive: ...

Johnson is a good footballer but a very suspect defender. made so many big fuck ups for Liverpool last season.

but ROoney was the worst of all considering what was expected of him. what a flop.

if he was still carrying that ankle injury then they can blame Ferguson for it but they wont.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

embarrassment.

 

[2Pax]

Could the disallowed Lampard goal be the catalyst for FIFA to finally introduce goal line technology?

 

[Bobby Sands]

i think it may well do.
