Good lord Belgium and Russia just had a dreadful match.

I caught the last 5 minutes. Looked good to me!

Dreadful? It was the best! :w00t:

 

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.

Boy did you luck out!

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

 

Thoughts?

It's almost time for the big game.  I've been saving some beer just for this.  Go Stars & Stripes!

Oh wow.  What an absolutely horrific giveaway by Jeff Cameron.  Portugal 1-0.  You could not possibly play defense any worse than that.

Terrible. That's the sort of mistake you'd expect as an 8 year old playing co-ed soccer for PE.
