probably, the dude just creates. and we needed that last night and will again the rest of the tournament. Im not trashing bradley as a player, he maybe our best other than dempsey but he played like crap for 91 minutes last night

true story- (E.S.P. maybe too?) - last night when "zeus" lined up that corner i was thinking in my head, oh man zeus is so good at corners [b/c he is] we might score here. what it be zeus? then we did and i yelled "yes!" boo radley got scared and i had to pet his head b/c he thought i was yelling at him but i wasn't.

jóhannsson sucked ass

This.

After Jozy went down I knew it would take him a while to settle in but as the game went on he only got worse. Every time he touched the ball he turned to advance instead of finding a mid to control the ball, which is what we needed to get some rest and put pressure on their mids to play the full length of the field.

He was like James Harden mixed with crap.

I do think he's better than that but what a terrible game for him.

5 minutes of added time was such complete bullshit, they added 5 minutes at the half and jozy was on the ground longer than that getting stretchered off. i was not happy about that

Good thing he didn't punch you in the face like he did me for no reason at all I might add.

I was surprised he didn't come on earlier against Ghana. JK was probably holding that last sub as long as possible in case someone else came up lame which Bedoya did eventually. If we don't have two hammy's I saw him getting in much earlier.

I'm betting he starts against Portugal. We give up some speed but we have to control it or it's Ghana be like Ghana again but with more shots on goal.

i asked him about that after you left and he said you were tickling his crotch. dunno.

5 tottenham players in this game!

(you can tell because there's only been one goal and it was on a vertonghen takedown)

Tobias · « **Reply #614 on:** June 17, 2014, 12:22:25 PM »

err 4

'bias,

who should i be rooting for in this game?

Tobias · « **Reply #616 on:** June 17, 2014, 12:26:33 PM »

whichever team you like! (belgium has a lot of good young players that may or may not gel for this world cup and some consider them a "dark horse")

which means I'm pulling for algeria

mocat · « **Reply #617 on:** June 17, 2014, 12:27:00 PM »

belgium is the sexiest of all euro countries so far (netherlands is close tho)

Penalty kicks are such crap. No way you should be able to basically have a free goal (like 90% of the time, probs) because you flopped in the goalie box.

What is your suggestion for when you get fouled in the box?

Free kick (direct) from that spot. Only the same players that were in the 18 yard box at the time of the foul are allowed inside the 18 yard box at the time of the kick. Standard 10 yard standoff applies, unless it's too close, and then the 6 yard box rules apply.
