Re: The Official 2010 Fifa WorldCup Channel

^^^no offense but English players are big loosers when they are playing in NT

Re: The Official 2010 Fifa WorldCup Channel

ye,that seems to be the fact though i hope this is the best england squad in many years,and the players seem to be in their peak form.

Re: The Official 2010 Fifa WorldCup Channel

^^i feel to disagree , because 4 years back england is having almost same squad and i will say in much better form

@rahim: nahi yaar, kirkit se to ab mujhe sakht nafrat hai

Last time I supported the Argies and was absolutely distraught when Germany(it was them, right?) knocked them out. I even had a Hernan Crespo wallpaper as my desktop at that time

They Might have been knocked out in the QF , but in my view argies played such a beautiful football in last WC , but some tactical mistakes cost their elimination...

i can see argies coming with deadly finishers for this WC , like

messi,higuain,tevez,millito.

Re: The Official 2010 Fifa WorldCup Channel

they barely scraped through the qualifiers with those stars

Re: The Official 2010 Fifa WorldCup Channel

^^But i believe in a fact "those who sucks in qualifiers will have good time in WC"

Tomorow England will announce their 30 member squad...*www.morningstaronline.co.uk/index.php/news/content/view/full/90178

Re: The Official 2010 Fifa WorldCup Channel

^The very fact that the core of the England team are the same, should highlights the dearth in quality or the lack of guts in Manager, to give deserved caps to younger players. When players like Rio, Gerrard, Lampard, etc can't win when they were at their prime, what would they acheive when the graph dives southward? Most of the players are hyped. If only England perform well and qualify for later stages, it would be a success.

As for Argentina, I have always been distraught when they come to the WC as favourites with great players and then use that stupid formation and end up getting knocked by small teams like Sweden. Just scoring big in 1 match, jut as they did in last WC, dont make them good. Good on paper but pathetic when it comes to the real deal. Heck even Turkey play better than Argentina.

Re: The Official 2010 Fifa WorldCup Channel

i will say , the morale of the argentinian players are very low , they will play poorly when they need to score....this can be fixed with good quality coach [maradona , i dont think so]

 

[Rahim]

Re: The Official 2010 Fifa WorldCup Channel

^Argentina always had problem with managers. Most of them were lunatics. Decision to appoint Maradona is more populistic than objective. Maradona is God for Argentinian population :

This WC would be quite pathetic administrative point of view with poor security and that damn noise instrument the fans would use. Hate that baboozela-thingy

Shouldn't we respect the culture of the country which is hosting the tournament?

Though I agree on the fact that they overuse it without any reason.

Though I'm a lifelong supporter of Brazil, but I would love to see an African country or Netherlands winning the World Cup.
