Tylluan Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I'm interested to see if Ireland change their style as they were very Jack Charlton in qualifying. A lot of in ya face football and snapping into tackles. The more purer teams couldn't handle it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmesfield_owl Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 That's a bit of what NZ did just now, didn't give Norway any chance to settle and apart from the late tip onto the crossbar they didn't really look like scoring. We'll deserved by NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling_Wolf Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Hard to play against, Haiti. Pace all over the park and no little skill. We can get past them but we can't get away from them. When they got past our defenders (early on) they were gone. The two or three instances of wildness in defence by them are definitely a big weakness. They've cost them one goal: could easilly have been two and a red card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Dutch goal would have been ruled out in the Premier League for offside and that's the problem with interpretation. Loving the way the refs mics are going live in these situations though. That needs to happen in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling_Wolf Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Gerrout!!!! Holders USA lose by the narrowest of Penalty Shootout margins. (I couldn't discern a gap between ball and line when it bounced down, or any ball on it.) That was a ghastly watch for two hours - Sweden picked a 'Land of the Giants' team and virtually only tried to score from set pieces - anti football. Eventually worth it though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, they have a very kind draw to the final even if it involves playing one of the hosts in the semi finals.

Kiwi Owl Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Good on them for getting through that very tough match. Think Wiegmans tactical change after James' moment of madness was a masterstroke. Despite them having a lady extra, Bright and Greenwood were so comfortable at the back. I don't think the keeper had a save to make. Well done England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 In comparison with the last World Cup, and last years Euros, the standard of play has been worse, even with the better nations, but, it has been far more competitive with far less lower standard teams.
