Terrible display at the end by CIV players going down and staying down AFTER the 4th referee signaled 4 mins.
Japan more than deserve this loss. Players were just jogging on counter attacks. A 9 month pregnant woman could run faster than that. Their passes were schitte and everyone was just watching. Glad Japan lost, they didn't want to win.
I figured that was the case.. So, there's no other quality LB? Man on the first half Italia was getting killed on that side. Chiellini is way too slow to keep up with the pacy Sterling, Sturridge, etc. Ur right on the attack Chiellini look very uncomfortable. I'm surprised England kinda stopped attacking that side on second half.
Côte d'Ivoire with a great game. Got to give credit to Drogba, he work his ass off to give some stability to the team. Just seemed like the team believed it will come back when he was in the game. He is such a genius within the box, very few players that have his ice nerves. Its not that he actually scored any goals or created them, he just seemed to give that extra boost and made some passes that brought stability. Yaya Toure had a terrible game, even with that they played well. Both Italy and England look good, Italy just seemed to have another gear. They always take the foot off the peddle when they have the lead. Though credit to England they did much better than expected.
Awesome headline by espnfc.com. http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/story/1881926/england-edge-past-italy BSPN with no bias at all.
Bruh, and Peru and Paraguay aren't even in it this year. The Argies, Brazilians, Colombians more than hold their own but when you add Ecuador and Paraguay to the mix :grin: Ridiculousness!
With that being said, guess who was MOTM?? Yup Yaya. So basically those voting on MOTM didn't really watch it or just figured Serge Aurier wasn't on the pitch and the crosses for both goals came from Yaya. SMDH.
Jeez how could I even forget to add the GREAT Venezuela(the women) to the list of South American countries with hot women that we are missing out on. I can just imagine the stands if Venezuela were playing in this WC. Goodness!
I'm used to watching this guy play for City. He's usually very noticeable. I should not have used the word terrible as his terrible is better than most others who are playing 100%. But still he didn't have the influence on the game that he usually does. Was a stabilizing force, but that's about it.
