ajzepp Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 first shot of the kicks and you MISS THE NET!?!?!?!?!?! TWICE, lol...that was some crazy sh--. Turkey is one fugged up team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 The Turkish goalie was terrible on the goal scored by Croatia, then came up HUGE on the offside Free Kick. His save in the shootout sealed the deal...And he was the backup goalie as Turkey's primary goalie was booted for two matches. I am wondering how many players Turkey will have available when they play Germany. and did you notice how many security personnel ringed the pitch ? Were they expecting trouble in this particular match ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meazza Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I hope the US squad is watching this ROM/ITA game...the Romanians are playing aggressive and physical, and their goalie is all over the place. You can tell they came to win. And yet the only goal they scored in the whole group was from a dumb error. And yet they even got lucky by having a goal disallowed that even the ref admitted was onside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meazza Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 if the Dutch let Romania win, the Italy - France game becomes useless. And the Dutch, sure to finish first in that group, have no reason NOT to rest their starters. You forget that Huntelaar, Van Persie and Robben are all on the bench. Not exactly low caliber players there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicot Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I don't care for Michael Ballack. He seems like a dirty player to me. Whenever I watch him play he is doing something questionable. At any rate the dude has a rocket for a shot. True enough, but you can't really blame Ballack on this occasion. 90% of footballers would do the same - it was the ref's job to spot it and he blew the call. Been a great tournament so far - lots of goals with hardly any bad games. Even Croatia - Turkey, which seemed to me to be one of the most boring games ever, came to life right at the end. Can't wait for Holland - Russia tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Pretty entertaining game today...Dutch vs. Ruskies. The Russians are here to play, for sure. I like their aggression, but MAN do they suck on set pieces. They shouldn't even bother with them... The Dutch have some guy named "Boularuse" or something like that...this guy is AWFUL. He's got no touch on his crosses, his shots are like half a mile wide of the net, and he's a pansy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Hiddink has been here before and it shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see Italy's "knockout stage form"....They have to be excited, the game starts at 0-0 and a shootout is only 120 minutes away...

But of course I can brag all I want being world champs and all for another 2 years. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
