Down with the Piefke.

I learned something new today!

Well there's no way that we're beating them, so we need them to beat everyone else too.

Wow so much envy and ignorance here. Specially from Carl. England played bad every minute of this world cup, get over it. As for Iran, how the f*** did they deserve to win when all they did was defend and throw the ball to our defenders the whole match??? Argentina did not play bad at all, it's just that Iran put up a wall.
We deserved to win, we were much better than Iran the entire match. You people are just jelous.


Envy? Sure. Ignorance? Ha.

Iran were robbed. Iran we are talking about here, just pushed Argentina to the 90th minute, made 3-4 clear cut goal scoring chances and were denied a penalty.

Argentina were lucky, thats all that there is to it. Better team sure, but they really did not deserve 3 points.



If we talk about DESERVING the 3 points, then Argentina deserved them. Iran went for the tie, while argentina kept on trying. Yeah, we didn't play godd but we definitely went there to win the match, not to barricade ourselves to get 1 point.

I sure hope Ghana wins. Cant stand those Germans, since Rol is one of them.

Neither did Iran though .

And speaking of Iran, they were not robbed anything. That wasn't a penalty

Balls don't just change directions and increase speed like that without being touched first.  

Granted, the ref never had slow motion to make the call and it was a 50/50 call from his point of view, nevertheless it wasn't a penalty so his lucky guess was in fact correct.

England play extremely well against Italy, lose. Italy were better and scored more

England absolutely batter Uruguay, lose. We must've watched different games. Suarez handled England.

 

His points stands, first game England were better than Italy, Italy won. second game I think as closer but 1 player beat us not Uruguay.

 

Eitherway, Argentina are lucky.

I assume both of you are from England. I don't remember England being better than Italy at all. They had the ball more but couldn't do anything real with it.

Hates tiki-taka, loves catenaccio.

Get out of here.


Tika taka is a poor mans version of catenaccio.

Iran had no other option. Just like Uruguay against the mighty England.

You must not watch much football

And you must be English with no bias for the English team.

Well, erm...the statistics sorta talk for themselves. Better possesion, more shots, more on target...just the goals which were lacking, and some bad luck as well. 

Eh, it is what it is now. I'm proud of the performance and am much more pleased than 4 years ago, even if we're gone a round earlier.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
