andy steel 0 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I was loving the Germany game last night, with the attacking football and your real, actual goals, but I drifted off into a haze and started wondering about the names. It was a world where Podolski was no longer a Bosche striker and was instead a hard bitten, cynical Chicago Private Eye. "God damn it, Podolski! The DA's gonna have my ass because of you!!!" Per Mertesacker was no longer a cultured defender, but a dimwitted hod carrying builder's mate. And the mildly interesting sight of two players called Swartzer and Wollmann playing against Germany, raising questions of national identity and migration. So maybe the football isn't so riveting, after all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Hippo Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 There hasn't been a single game so far that i would give higher than 6.5/10 to The Germany game was best but until Australia had Cahill sent off it was drifting towards a bland second half 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 I thought Holland v Denmark could have been a good game but it never really got going. I think most teams are a bit cagey in their first game except Germany. Will be interesting to see Brazil and Spain - a lot of expectation on them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Been a very insipid world cup so far I have to say. A few slightly bright moments but overall very underwhelming. No one has really stood out in either individual player or country. As Gribz put it, the onus is on Brazil and Spain to brighten this tournament up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flying Hippo Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Delighted for New Zealand. Slovakia were diabolical and nothing like the side who ripped Northern Ireland apart in Belfast less than a year ago 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flying Hippo Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Another absolute dungfest so far. Have Mendes, Deco, or Liedson even touched the ball? I've watched every European Championship and World Cup since 1992 and this is by far the worst of the lot. Absolute pish. Predictable, defensive football everywhere.

metlika 0 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 1 out of 12/13 games have been awful. Bring on the final group games where teams HAVE to open up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Hippo Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Utter wank. Ronaldo barely touched the ball after the first 20 minutes. Drogba touched it once in 25 minutes. The whole game was summed up by Ivory Coast taking a short corner in the 93rd minute and the ref immediately blowing for full time. Abysmal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
