The REAL football thread.

germany were good in spells but at times they got sloppy and poland took the upper hand. and yeah, germany suddenly became more entertaining under klinsmann, quicker and more direct. still not exactly a flair team though.
 
good old howard webb, best ref in england for sure. good decision, all these claims about "clamping down" on that sort of thing have been total bullshit til now. our idiot pundits were like "if you gave a penalty every time they did that there'd be 5 or 6 a game!" in reality that'd happen once, then the players would realise they're going to get penalised and stop doing it, that'd be that. same with mascherano getting sent off for being a petulant prick earlier in the year, that had such a massive effect on all the games which followed, it's exactly what's required. now i'm just waiting for someone to get sent off for diving and i'll be totally happy
 
You have to keep in mind that sevag is fucking stupid and never knows what he's talking about regarding anything ever.
 
what happened at the holland game? i only saw the first half. france seemed to dominate, not giving up an inch.
~gR~
 
France didn't really dominate anything...They had a couple of good runs in the first half, but Holland had control most of the way, nice steady ball handling. Holland scored around 10-15 minutes into the half, Then Henry got a goal at 71, and Holland struck back immediately 45 seconds later, and they capped it off with a long ball in extra time to finish 4-1.
 
Holland is just awesome right now,last goal was just pure gold. The bad thing is that i think Sweden will get the second place in our group;Holland in the quarters;we´ll get our asses whopped.
