Alex Rae Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Good - a match thread that doesn't give the result in the title. As I predicted a Germany/ Argentina final before the World Cup started, I'm not changing my mind now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z3MCJez Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Not provided quite the level of entertainment of last night. I'm just hoping for a goal in the next 15 minutes so that I don't have to sit through extra time! Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6speedmanual Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 It would be better that there be a team on the pitch actually delivering some goals, otherwise it does not bode well for them against Germany..... Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z3MCJez Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Don't tell the in-laws, but Argentina deserved that overall. A fully firing Germany will beat them though. A Germany that turned up against Algeria won't though. Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Germans were good last night but the woeful Brazilian defence flattered them. The Argentine defence tonight was tight and closed Robben and van Persie out of most of the game. If they can repeat that with Muller and Klose then they stand a good chance of giving them a run for their money. They will also have a large support in the crowd, though Germany will benefit from Brazilian support, along with the notably German population in Brazil.

wild bill Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I didn't know Brazil had a large German population. Have they been there a long time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cornford Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Why did the Netherlands field a left winger who could only kick with his right foot? Can't remember one occasion when he took them on by attacking down the left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Campbell Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Are you talking about Kuyt ? Did seem strange but he played as a right "wing back" in the first half and was moved over to the left wing back position in the second half. I think he was moved over to stifle the Argentinian attack down their right as he is a great defender and has a huge work rate / stamina + Argentina seemed to be creating a lot of pressure in that area....the problem...as you noted, he never took them on down the left...always cut in.

Leadership Team Golf Juliet Tango Posted July 11, 2014 Leadership Team Share Posted July 11, 2014 Kuyt is a player every coach would want in their squad. A striker who can defend, play wide in attack and on either side as a wing back. He has great stamina and energy, he always appears keen and enthusiastic. Possibly not really top flight in any single position but I get the impression that his work allows other players to play better because he appears to be very unselfish.
