Just heard Brenton Speed calling an AFL game on the gold coast between 2 of the leagues stinkiest teams.
Hopefully it means he wont wedge his way in to any commentary tonight.
ill be the first to say it.
Iniesta didnt have his best game today. im a little worried as he really only has Jordi Alba to read his passes and to be in the correct spots.
Bloke was trying to play with Costa all day and Costa just stood there like the lumbering oaf that he is and was way happier playing 'kick shit out of Pepe' (which to be fair a) was fun, and b) worked).
the best bit was Isco was fantastic, back to the form he was in the end of the 16-17 season.
def quickly becoming my new fav player, unless i can get J-League games to keep up with Don Andreas.
Bhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Of course it was going to be like that.
Iceland are the Daniel Arzani of the world cup.
Utter trash, but way too many fan bois.
gee whiz how bad is the delivery of this tin pot cup.
watched the late game tonight on the optus stream, utter ****ing trash
Haha. I love you Plague.
That said, i have a little bit of love for Iceland for the fact that they aren't great footballers but they are the exact opposite of someone like England/Argentina. They always squeeze the absolute maximum out of the talent they have. If they can possibly score 2 goals in a game they will score two goals. Whereas if England could score 10 goals in a game they might get 1 and struggle to a win.
Iceland will always be at their maximum and no more. Argentina will always give you 70-80% of what they could achieve. Hence why they haven't won anything of note for 25 odd years with some of the most talented players in the world.
Not sure if this is the right thread. But Croatia just showed everyone how to start a World Cup group stage. 4 forwards in the first game, the excat opposite of what France did.
About to watch the full game, optus replays working like a treat.
Replays are working well for me, and I'm loving the 25 minute highlight packages.
But of the two games I've tried to stream live, both have been stop start the whole time. What a joke.
Argentina looked pretty average. Tidy, but noone but Messi looking to try to cause any damage. And he struggled too - struggles with trying to win the nation's support. I hope him/they can come around.
Iceland could make it through - they are so disciplined and committed in defence and looked dangerous on the counter.
Some great games already and we're only a few days in..
I am enjoying the mini-match concept as well.
too many teams have all white/light based uniforms.
i dont like all white/light based uniforms.
ill let you know if any other thoughts like this come across my mind.
ref needs to put his whistle away.
every tackle is getting blown up. let em have a crack ya jerk.
We need more players wearing headbands. That Korean dude is rocking his.
Call the fouls. Swedish ladies are jumping up and down complaining.
