The Football (Soccer) Thread - Season 2017/2018

3 i think, and i’m being generous also might have been only 2, he was injured alot and didn’t play, i thought if he scored that it could have got his confidence up

I’m always waiting for lampard to appear and do something, i’m still waiting…

The funny stat for hesky was somethinglike 60 caps and 5 goals.
rene higita the crazy columbian goal keeper 80 caps and 8 goals hahaha those figures might be off slightley but it’s there or there abouts

Great save by green, altidoor should have passed though, carreger was skinned alive

Usa have soaked up alot of pressure, i can see a sucker punch coming.

wright phillips and lennon need to go back and train more, johnson has been man of the match by a country mile everytime he has the ball it looks like england might do something

Ok summing up

the usa deserve a point they created quite a few good chances especially the first half should have scored in the second.
england dont have a fucking prayer of winning this world cup, your best player is a right back you got a striker who cannot score wingers who dont know what it means to be a winger and slow defenders, when all else fails what happens you throw on crouch the guy who is 7ft and cannot fucking head to save his life and you just pump long balls up to him.

maybe i’m beingg harsh but i’ve seen it all before i thought capello was ment to bring a new attitude and shit, but to me it just seems the same as when sven was in charge. ie lets play hesky because rooney likes playing with him, of course he does because he does all the dirty work, rooney started to play well but it was too late and to little.
If we get pass the quater finals i’d say we had a good world cup
As for the usa i think they will qualifie i’m not sure who they get in the next round it’s either germany serbia or ghana, all those teams are more than beatable

Damnit…sigh fucking Green

Rooney isn’t playing his favourite spot, you could see how unhappy he looked.
The poor guy spent more time around the mid circle instead of penalty area where he belongs.

Rooney has nobody to blame but himself, poor discipline always coming deep looking for the ball, the boy dont learn

latter part of the second half Rooney moved to left wing, he started getting more involved with in the game.

lmao has any player so far in tournament managed to take a free kick properly? :rofl:

what a mistake …great game though… so close off the post for a win though…it was a change from that demoralizing first 4 th min goal though ,i thought all was done if thats the tempo…

As a Spurs guy, I was worried that Lennon’s speed was going to cause defensive problems on counterattacks. I think David Beckham’s corpse could have given them more. At least the set pieces would have been good.

Thanks for the point, England!

im looking forward to the day when fifa permanently bans those god awful horns - they are an absolute detriment to the experience of watching those matches, i can’t imagine how shitty it must be for the players having to deal with that

Epic!

Thats the heightest I’ve ever seen Beckham’s eye brow raised. :rofl:

I can’t watch that clip anymore its pretty much been on continous loop on TV.

No, but that’s because this man hasn’t taken one yet:

Ignore the shitty youtube editing, that’s the first one I could find with a lot of his kicks.

:rofl:

Becks was PISSED! That goalkeeper is gonna go through hell in the british press…

^_-;

Werent alot of players complaining about the official ball being hella random on free kicks?

Keepers complained. But keepers complain about the balls before just about every major tournament. I’ve heard some players say they don’t really have a problem with them.

yah, they put the ball into a windtunnel - when it starts to sow down, it starts becoming unstable in its trajectory

Anyone see this? :lol:

lol good one

spain is overrated, out of all teams in the world cup they’re most consistent team right now if not the only one but brasil has always come with that magic when it comes to the world cup.

Horns itself is awful, also it covers most ‘fan made cheer noise’ (for a lack of better term).
For example during the game you can only hear pieces of tradition fan sung song, it all got covered by the damn horns.

I don’t think you are being harsh…let’s hope we played our worst game already. Especially the CBs…they gave me heart attacks.

They have a huge amount of world class players, they’ve proven they can win in big tourneys, and they’re the most consistent team in the world over the last few years.

How Brazil performs in the World Cup has nothing to do with whether Spain is overrated or not.
