IndiraLightfoot Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Dreadful? It was the best! Coz Belgium just qualified for the play-offs, and that in the final three minutes. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***

Keyrock Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Dreadful? It was the best! Coz Belgium just qualified for the play-offs, and that in the final three minutes. The last 5 minutes of the match were exciting, but the first 85 minutes were sitting through an elementary school dance recital level boring. It kills me that Belgium get rewarded for parking the bus for 85 minutes then deciding to have a go at it in the last 5 minutes, but they scored and won and advanced, so kudos to them, I guess. I caught the last 5 minutes. Looked good to me! Boy did you luck out! Edited June 22, 2014 by Keyrock RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Walsingham Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I actually really enjoyed the England game, even if we went out. A bit slow and tactically gormless as ever, but played clean, and I liked Cahill's defending. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
IndiraLightfoot Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Keyrock: I see... I must admit I only caught the last 12 minutes of the game, and rooting for Belgium, it was still a rollercoaster ride. It must have sucked then and Belgium just lucked out. Well, a win is a win. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
IndiraLightfoot Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Bendu: Wow! That's some stats to ruminate. England really needs a guy like Gary Lineker badly. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
Keyrock Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) What a lovely goal for Algeria. Absolutely beautiful long pass and a quality composed finish. Well done. Edit: And Algeria score again just a minute or so later. Edited June 22, 2014 by Keyrock RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Leferd Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Algeria up 2-0 in the 27th minute. Not looking good for S. Korea. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Leferd Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 That's it. Korea is doomed. 3-0 Algeria, 37th minute. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Walsingham Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I have a theory, and it's as much for the sake of having one as anything, but... Our players doon't perform as a team because we lack: 1) enough common practice time to develop an 'england' style within the team 2) a common style across all the clubs they play for normally By contrast some of the best scoring national teams come from nations with only a couple of dominant clubs.

Sarex Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Go Portugal? "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
HoonDing Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Last midnight match. kk, thx Portugal, gonna go to bed The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Keyrock Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Oh wow. What an absolutely horrific giveaway by Jeff Cameron. Portugal 1-0. You could not possibly play defense any worse than that. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
JadedWolf Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Cringeworthy defending there. Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.
Leferd Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Terrible. That's the sort of mistake you'd expect as an 8 year old playing co-ed soccer for PE. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
JadedWolf Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Speaking of cringeworthy, that looked painful. Portuguese defending straight from the manual. Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.
Keyrock Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 A lot of really sloppy play on both sides so far. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
JadedWolf Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 U.S.A. so unlucky there. Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

JadedWolf Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 The 1-1. Exactly what this game needed. Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.
