Actually laughing at your post at this moment, seems hard to accept for you. We played better than we did against Mexico today and against Argentina we will be able to execute those sweet sweet counters we used to destroy Spain. See you Wednesday.

Lol at the post saying robben didnt dive on the penalty against mexico.

Lol at someone unwilling to watch and listen to slow-mo replays form impartial countries. He admitted to diving in the first halve. He ALSO got denied a penalty in the first halve. Second halve he got tripped in the box. That's a foul. A foul in the box is a penalty.

So salty lol

Amazing how hypocritical that post is.
 
I can live with Euro vs SA final but an all Euro final I will not watch, I rather watch paint dry, if it turns out to be a all Euro I will be playing Guild Wars 2 that day..
 
Kinda hard to take someone who thinks Brazil is playing dirtier than Suárez seriously. Salt really clouds the vision of some.

Well now, I don't know about that. Yesterday's match was pretty awful though, and the ref definitely did everyone a disservice by not clamping down early on. It got out of hand.

:p

If Xavi wants to take a fresh air swipe and allow a young scotsmans score the goal of his life who am I to complain? Certainly wasn't wondering about possession % when I was bouncing around Celtic Park that night!!!

Don't waste your time though.

Brazil-GAF thought the ref helped COL and were upset with the thread title change yest.

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

SO SALTY!

But personally, i fear that the games are going to take their toll on the Dutch squad. Van Gaal said that Vlaar's knee got locked up and Robben said they were all (understandably) really exhausted after this game. If Argentina is fitter combined with the "intelligence" of Messi that could very well break us up
 
No - for "park the bus" see a team not willing to try and attack - tired boring cliche these days for a team that sites on the counter.
Someone's begging for a username quote.


In other news, how can someone's team that won be salty? This thread is certainly more entertaining than Costa Rica's game plan.




I think it's mostly people that watch football as spectators. They want to see an open game going back to back for spectacle.

True football fans will appreciate the effort and discipline that CRC put in tonight.

Against a overwhelming opponent they held out till the bitter end and could have even won in the 116 minute.
This would describe me, I just want to see an exciting game. Watching one side celebrate that they managed to tie a game seems lame, at least to me.

It's a game impossible to predict. They without Di Maria, we with exhausted players. They have Messi, We have Robben. Messi is always super dangerous and often, not always, finds a way to slip through.

Argentina plays similarly to the European teams, which is why I fear them because they are good plus they've got Messi as a bonus. Di Maria out is a huge blow though, contain Messi and gg.

The wild west football you saw yesterday which is perceived as entertaining between Colombia and Brazil is the result of shit organization. Ger will crush Brazil in terms of play and Muller will score two.

As for the generally lowered match tempo, that's due to wheather conditions such as high humidity. Not the fault of teams, but external conditions.

Haha, I'm sure you do. Our defense is (not so) secretly kind of shitty. We make up for it with wonderful strikers.

Still, I think Argentina has more or less the same problem.

Our defense isn't shitty, that's the kind of talk from the media. Or a way of saying. In reality it's good, but not among the top of the top, which is needed to play at the absolute top. So it's weaker in the back, but not that much as the popular voice seems to be. If it was we would be out already.

Pouty.

It's true we haven't conceded many goals. They're playing better than their standings suggest. Still, I don't believe for a second the likes of Vlaar and De Vrij won't be heavily tested by Messi and Higuain.

We have surprisingly decent good record against Argentina. Old stats don't really mean anything though. We haven't played against each other in a while.
