I have no clue about football and even I can tell that Greece is pretty bad so far. Anyway, 2004 and all. My best friend at that time was Portuguese, made it even sweeter.

I can see why he's no longer your best friend. :/

Portuguese tears are delicious.

Glad to help dude..

Exactly, you see similar plays in pretty much every game, the defense is the culprit here, you have to anticipate that kind of stuff

Indeed. Fielding Gerrard and not expecting a suicidal backpass is not done.Your defense should be prepared for that.

 

[gutter_trash]

please Colombia + Ivory coast, destroy Japan and Greece in Game 3

 

[oti]

Again, no clue about football whatsoever. So, is this how Greece won in 2004? Looks very different from what I've seen so far in this tournament.

 

[daripad]

Is this match better than Nigeria vs Iran?

 

[Soyongdori]

Is this match better than Nigeria vs Iran?

About the same.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Greece needs to hold on to a tie for dear life. 0:0 would be incredible.

Colombian fans all nodding at this post.

 

[jokkir]

lol Greece

 

[Gandie]

I absolutely despise Greek football. But seeing Japan struggle so badly against them also shows how well they play their defensive style.

Spoiler

Or maybe Japan's just bad ;_;

It was part bad luck and part bad defending. When I saw it happen live I was sure it was offsides.

you are comparing a gasless soda with piss

 

[Willectro]

Holy fuck again.

 

[daydream]

Fuck, should've been red. Don't want to see Samaras' face ever again.

 

[Fergie]

Greece will most likely go down to 9 men.

 

[LiK]

Greece getting so many cards

 

[Courage]

Is this match better than Nigeria vs Iran?

not really

 

[His Majesty]

so these are the twats that invented democracy and math

can't be right

Haha, no, it's not like it sounds. I remember going back to school the next day. Everyone thanked me for making Ronaldo cry, which I thought was a bit odd.

 

[Mike Works]

I'm pretending that yellow cards are worth 2 goals and going down in pain is worth 1 goal. This game is amazing. Can Greece hold onto the lead?!

 

[Gentlemen Demon]

it seems like Greece is just throwing their weight around and hoping for the best...

 

[Empty]

kagawa time

 

[StriKeVillain]

You said this was Endo, smell like outdo.

 

[trixx]

Is this match better than Nigeria vs Iran?

I don't know. Nigeria was attacking more and Iran had a very good chance of scoring. Japan should score a goal. 10 vs 11 and the game still feels the same. Still plenty of time left

 

[DJ--UK]

see if this game bores you go and do something else ffs, not every game is going to be super duper mega exciting

 

[figadapaura]

SHINJIIIIIIIIII

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

FINALLY

 

[scottnak]

Theoretically... what's the most reds a team can suffer? (And then what?)

 

[Porcile]

Japan always disappoint. They've always got a bunch of great players (Honda, Nagatomo, Uchida, Kagawa etc) but rarely know how to play as a decent match winning team. Was the same back when Nakata, Nakamura, Ono and co. were about.

 

[Ninjimbo]

If the Japanese players were only a few inches taller, they would be one of the best teams in the world.

 

[krYlon]

Japan are so good that they are embarrassed to win against 10 men

 

[Brofist]

The anger the Greek team provokes in this thread is more entertaining than the game itself.

 

[daydream]

so these are the twats that invented democracy and math

can't be right

You poor fool, lol.

 

[Gandie]

Shinjiii!!!!

Ok, it means I'll avoid this too

They used the same tactics but they were faster on the counter attack and had better players. Their game was mainly explained by having a very very good defense and a great counter attack.

 

[Hellraider]

so these are the twats that invented democracy and math

can't be right

In our defense (pun may be intended), we didn't invent football.

 

[Horseress]

Theoretically... what's the most reds a team can suffer? (And then what?)

five iirc, then you lose

 

[fuenf]

They can't afford the FIFA bribe money this year.

Why do people such high expectations of these teams? They really aren't that great.

Hard to disappoint when no one is expecting anything from you.

maybe it's just my Captain Tsubasa nostalgia... I'm not even saying that they should be great teams but that they should perform better than this given their individual talent.

 

[Broder Salsa]

That size difference man

 

[Soyongdori]

Isn't japan team considered the shortest in WC?

 

[kamorra]

16. One for every man on the field.

 

[Gandie]

Nope, gonna watch it and complain on GAF

 

[moai]

Craptastic match. How on earth do this teams qualify.

 

[Wilbur]

Holebas is playing well

 

[Mike Works]

That size difference man

DRUCKMAN!!!!!

 

[tass0]

So frustrating to watch. Just give me ONE goal, Greece.

 

[meanspartan]

Yup. We cant keep up on offensive firepower, so lockdown defense + counterattack is how we do lol. And we get LOADS of hate for it.

2004 team was better thsn this one though.

 

[alterno69]

Three, sfter that the game is suspended and you lose by three i think? I've only seen it once in my life in the mexican league. The team was coached by Javier Aguirre and when they were down to 8 men he instructed one of them to get another red to end their missery.

 

[Vlodril]

this fucking keeper man..

 

[daydream]

Good effort there. GO GO GO
