Any game that goes beyond full time i.e. wasting time, deserves to be labelled shite as bunch of time waster. I can’t waste my life watching extra time when Family Guy is on …
They are bullshit because they are shite that cannot even score during full time no exception.
Holland bringing on a sub keeper to help win a shoot out may have seemed like a master stroke at the time, however if you cannot do that the next time you have a shoot out, it gives a psychological advantage to the opposition. The Dutch keeper did not look like saving one, and Holland did not look like winning it.
What @athgray said. The winning penalty was an easier save than either of the ones the Argie keeper stopped.
I wanted to see Brazil v Holland but neither performed. I was more disappointed in the Dutch performance than Brazil. Holland reverted to the withdrawn mentality which lost the last final. Not convinced Van Gal deserves the tactical genius label either, seems to me its the British press just talking up a manager as he’s coming to the PL.
I see that Mick Jagger is being blamed by superstitious Brazilians for their soccer team’s defeat. Well, they’re a very religious lot. It’s safe to assume that there was a lot of supplications to the alleged Nazarene for success in the world cup. Given the result, does this mean that Sir Mick is more powerful than Jeeezus?
Again Robben jumps onot the floor as tohugh he’s been shot! For the pen, he was already screaming out and looking for the ref, before he’d even decided to fling himself down! What a cheat.
In the qualifiers it was Australia 31–0 American Samoa.
In the actual tournament, it was possibly Hungary beating El Salvador 10-1 in ’82.
