Members jhamnett Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 Self-doubt is always justified for England fans With our defense playing as it is... gotta see this as a draw at best for the USA. I'm a bit wary of how Rooney might cut us up.BTW - you, me, and Melx are completely taking over this thread right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melx Posted June 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 With your optimism and my innate pessimism, we're destined for glorious mid-tableness I think it's going to be really really close after all the first games have been played, unless someone does score 3 or 4 goals.

I'm personally hoping Luis Fabiano bangs in a load of goals for Brazil as everyone else seems to have Kaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope for an entertaining and open game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members redprince Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 Wasn't to happy with Patrice getting the yellow, but 4 points will have to do. Can't wait to see tomorrow's results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Army of Darkness Posted June 12, 2010 Members Share Posted June 12, 2010 The Korea-Greece game just shows what a load of bollocks the FIFA ranking system are. Greece 13th and Korea 47th is a joke, should be the other way around. FIFA has always been heavily weighted towards Europe and the Americas and give little credit to Asia and the Oceana regions, even though countries like Korea, Japan and Australia dominate those regions, and should be higher than they are. I'm just gutted I swapped Park Ji Sung out the last minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped him for Tim Cahill, so my Aussie better come good Definitely.It annoys me when the so called 'experts' only talk about him (and suggest he's only in the team) for his work rate...like the Champions League matches against AC Milan where I kept hearing that Ji 'marked' Pirlo... he played practically as a second striker, scored a goal and was heavily involved in all of United's attacking play.he scores some important goals, gets a lot of assists and his general play and tactical awareness is right up there.

Yep, these so called 'experts' just can't get over the fact he's Korean and the default view is he must be just a grafter and has no other abilities. If he played for a top European or South American country, they'd rave and rant about how important he is to the team. Most Man U fans, I know, with half a brain, all appreciate what an influential player he is. Fergie loves him and he's no fool when it comes to spotting talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
