That's how we've been playing for quite some time now. Strong defense and fast counter attacking.
Whenever we play against a defensive team, we struggle. But against offensive teams (which tend to have weaker defenses), it's all great.
I don't like it, to be honest.
About the second part: Chile always fights, it's a pleasure. Good game.
I agree on all those points, Mackie.
Maybe I exaggerated the way I said it... It's just that I thought England's goal was clear without any replays, and the position of the side line referee was pretty good to notice it. Maybe he wasn't looking there, we'll never know heh.
Edit: Holland scores! Nice goal.
What a pass by Sneijder, just perfect.
Edit 2: Is it just me or Robben looks a lot like Officer Alex Murphy (Robocop)?
Yeah, in my opinion there's no place in football for judging actions that require the game to stop. Would be a pain to watch.
I guess that extra referee around the goal would be enough. But honestly those mistakes we're seeing are so awful it's hard to believe they didn't see it. Maybe they're just that bad.
Thanks for that! I wish others could do the same...
Just to post something on topic, I'm quite impressed by USA's team. Played well, fought every time until the last minute, and just as important, CLEANLY.
We've seem plenty of times (in this World Cup, no less) how easy it is to lose it and try to solve things the wrong way. To think your opponent isn't worth it. Even with all the problems with bad refereeing and all.
