+ojcar 157 Posted June 19, 2012 Spain played just plain bad. They didn't deserve to win, but with 0:0 and Italy winning, Croatia was out nevertheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted June 19, 2012 Yesterday they were high on Valium, and the referee was kind of awful. We lack that killer instinct this championship. I hope this Mid-fielder only freak goes away soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gr.Viper 131 Posted June 19, 2012 Are the scores related to actual goals in any way in modern football? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,861 Posted June 19, 2012 Goal line technology like they have in Tennis etc is the only way to get those judgments correct - the refs just cant tell at that speed. Happens many times every year - just down to luck I guess - and that England team will only survive on luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Stary 2,426 Posted June 20, 2012 Are the scores related to actual goals in any way in modern football? Apparently not, we two here did big WTF? watching the replays... I was for England, but to give credit Ukrainians showed good football too, esp. in first half Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Brain32 265 Posted June 24, 2012 Note to England - thou shall not let the game be decided by penalty shootout... I mean first of all - just don't, second I would never select Young and Cole to shoot penalties you could see that won't work before it happened...oh, and the goalkeeper sucks imho, sorry... Props to our neighbors Italy, really good and very active game, btw Pirlo's penalty shot was really awsome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Brain32 265 Posted June 26, 2012 It will be ok, Germany has better defense and much better goalkeeper than England. Also Italian team has two faces, one for the first half, other for the 2nd half... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+FLOGGER23 2,793 Posted June 27, 2012 I must say, today's match, Spain vs Portugal will be a tough one, i go as always for Spain and wish the boys the best, most of my Barcelona players are there:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Brain32 265 Posted June 27, 2012 I must say, today's match, Spain vs Portugal will be a tough one, i go as always for Spain and wish the boys the best, most of my Barcelona players are there:) With no David Villa(my favorite player) and Torres not being at full power this is a bit different Spain...also Ronaldo and the crew should pose a threat for weakened Spain defense(no Puyol) that is if Portugal passes through the nightmare of Spain's epic midfield, on the other hand Portugal has quite a solid midfield also plus really good defense with Pepe in charge. Anyway I don't see Spain having much opportunities for solid shots on the Portugal's goal, on the other hand like I said passing through Spain's midfield will be really rare, biggest opportunities for a goal will in my opinion come from corners and free kicks(Ronaldo is a real danger here). So the game might very well come to the penalty shootouts and this is where the talent of Casillas might come into play... Match will be tough, maybe not so entertaining for casual watchers but tactically it will(should be) a treat... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
