Jason Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It's bizarre what's happened to that Germany team. In 2014 we all thought they were gonna dominate as the team was young, but they look shambolic at the moment. Zero pace, lack of depth in midfield, defensively woeful, the lack of a top striker. All the credit to Korea for going for it even though qualification was out of their hands. Β Also, fantastic use of VAR. If that goal hadn't been given it would have been a massive error.

Eutyphro Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I predicted Argentina will win the World Cup in the prediction thread because it is simply right due to Messi, not because it's the best prediction. I don't really think someone can ever be better than Messi at football actually, and he should be World Champion. The genuine favorite before the tournament IMO is Spain.

Sinner! Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 The main problem with the German team was their finishing was mostly awful & Gomez & Muller are well & truly past it. Β Players like Ozil & Khadira are very overrated & also past it & should be dropped,Β & they just generally have not reinvented their style or players from 2014Β sufficiently to be contenders.

Tchuck Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Ha! Did not see that coming, though prematch had been hoping for a Mexico and South Korea victories to see South Korea through, but I'll take the Germans being knocked out shamefully. Β This World Cup has been very entertaining, indeed. Β For Germany, they didn't seem as hungry to win as they did 4 years ago, they lacked a proper true finisher upfront, and I don't know what else. They created chances, but weren't clinical enough. It happens. Β Brazil also through despite that turd Neymar again trying to get the Oscar for best acting, because holy sh*t his rolling around the field is ridiculous. Shameful, embarrassing. I wish that FIFA's next innovation would be something to put a stop to playacting and diving, perhaps with stronger enforcement of yellow cards for simulations and whatnot. Would be great to see that douche sit out some matches until he learns to not roll around like a diva. Β Now last day of groups, I predict Belgium to finish second so they can avoid an encounter with Brazil early on, and I'm hoping for Japan to at least draw with Poland to secure qualification.

Sneaky Queeky Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The diving is bad but worse is Neymar's pitch perfect impression of Alexis Sanchez. I don't think I can watch him cut inside from the left and dribble right into three defenders one more time without screaming! He did it a lot in his last season at Barcelona and was often criticized for it (believe it or not that game against PSG was NOT the Neymar we got every week in Spain) but it seems more obvious to me when he plays for Brazil as he is their talisman.

Jason Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hope that lossΒ didn't kick the winds out of our sale. Though our first team is almost entirely rested (we made 8 changes), momentum could have been lost. It's one of those things where if it goes well against Columbia it's all part of the plan but if goes wrong it's a huge error, regardless if we rested our the majority of our first eleven. Β Also, Rashford should have made it 1-1. Not the first team he's opted to shoot when he should have passed recently, something that's not helped by the fact that his finishing is average. As a United fan I wanna see him set the world alightΒ but he's starting to show signs that he's gonna be nothing more than a slightly more competent Danny Welbeck.
