You are quoting the "Sun" as your reason?

I don't think you quite understand the nature of the british tabloids, Grish :P

First half of the Holland-Japan was like England-Algeria game, very boring and not so good football. 2nd Half was gr8, but Holland is not even close to be as good as they should be with this team, and this game could have easily been 1-1 or even 0-1 to Japan. Japan plays very good overall, very defensive in first half and makes holland play alongside instead of those deep long balls they seek, 2nd half Japan moved up alot after the 1-0 and played some very good minutes there in the middle of the 2nd half.

Typical dutch football tbh. On paper a great team, but we never manage to get any teamwork done.

Hunt, the dutch playstyle is ("should") probably the least dependent on deep long balls. When they play as they should they do short quick passes at a high freqeuncy or down the side lines and curl along the goal for someone to head/kick in.

[Huntresa]

Well i mean down the side lines, i dont mean from Dutch goal down to Jap goal as in deep long balls :P

[Intrinsic]

Silly dutch long ball makes for a boring game.

As Edgar Davids said on british tv, they need to get the full backs up more and get a def-midfielder to protect the back 4 and play as a deep lying playmaker. at least thats what i think he said  ???

EDIT: Also Robben needs to be fit and play, he's godlike :D

[Grishnag]

TWAS A BORING GAME ALLRIGHT

atleast we won though

[Nachmanun]

as in deep long balls :P

[Huntresa]

Lol nach

Cameroon-Denmark, best first half of this World Cup, gr8 football, did not expect that seeing as Cameroon was rly shit last game and well denmark is denmark.

[Grishnag]

fucking hell this is probably the best match i've watched yet

[Huntresa]

2nd half pretty much as good as first half of this game. Denmark scores a 2nd goal pretty much in the same fashion as the first, Cameroon just coming off a gr8 goal scoring opportunity but is slow running back and Denmark takes advantage and scores.

Denmark and Japan are now fighting for the last position to go thru to 1/16, gr8 that they are meeting each other as the last game of the grp then! :D

[Grishnag]

kinda sad that camaroon lost they were the better team to bad denmark pretty much had 9 man on defence

also how many fucking poulsons do they have?

[Huntresa]

They were the better team initally but after the first goal they didnt stop but it atleast went down in speed etc. And it is known that Cameroon is lacking in the defense part of the game, and that we saw as 2nd goal was pretty much just cause cameroon was salcking behind etc.
