Van Basten II Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) And Greece-Japan was like listening to a Kenny G solo that lasts 90 minutes plus extra time, , Is it me or the 6pm game eastern time is most of the time the crappiest matchup of the day.

sidewinder Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) England suddenly becomes Italy's greatest fans That result will shut lots of people up round here today.. Two very average teams on the field last night - but with one of them having a genuine star striker.

uli Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Swiss defensive is like well ... Swiss cheese There was some of that but the Bleus deserve some credit. They were almost perfect like a ripe camembert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) They played counter attack well but let's face it the Swiss were begging for it, their defense was even worse than England , talent wise Switzerland is rather ordinary if they do well it's because of being tactifully efficient they weren't last night. That said as a Bleus fan it's been a while since I enjoyed the team so much in a tournament. Edited June 21, 2014 by Van Basten II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Link That must have hurt! Watched the 2nd half of the Germany-Ghana match. Germany had a chance at about the 85 minute mark but the striker took just an extra step and the opportunity disappeared. Germany also got a bad off-side call. Having said that, it did seem to me (no expert certainly!) that Ghana was the stronger team, or at least played the stronger game, overall. Exciting game.

Leeway Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Aaaagh! I had a feeling the US side was letting up a little. Gotta play every second. Credit to Portugal for playing to the very end, and they got their reward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Not a real soccer/football fan here, but my son is, and has gotten me into this...and gotta say, the game today was a real emotional engagement for me in a way that most soccer/football aren't. Unfortunately, end result of the engagement was air sucked out of balloon, but c'est la vie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Despite the draw, you still have a good chance of going through to the knock out stages. That's all that matters now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 We've got two German managers and the draw does them both good, wonder what will happen The game today with the most drama today is Croatia and Mexico, both teams qualify with a win , draw is ok for Mexico to go in while Croatia would need a miracle in Brasilia to go with the tie , that is a win by the Cameroon side that has yet to record a goal against the host.
