World Cup Group C Discussion (COL, IVR, GRE, JAP)

This is the most entertaining match involving Greece in 15 years. Holy shit.

They're better (at least from an entertainment perspective) under this guy than Rehagel(sp). That was the worst

No kidding. I hardly recognize them as Greek!

Ref has been in total control of the game. Almost too much so honestly. Pretty much every fall in the midfield gets a call for either team.

USA already dominating

 

[DeacMan]

Eesh,

I just ask refs to be consistent in how they call the game. Geiger has been consistent with calling the ticky-tacky fouls, so I'm ok with it.

Problem with Greece is they're just too methodical going forward. Doesn't really matter how many players Colombia sends forward because Greece shows no interest or ability to break quickly the other way.

I haven't seen anything from Colombia that should scare MY Blue Samurai.

 

[DeacMan]

Arias has quite a future for Colombia. Nice player.

Yeah, that's fair. It just makes the game less fun to watch though.

 

[DeacMan]

YES!!!

We want them to come second anyway so they can avoid Brazil!

 

[vadimivich]

Cuardrado - if you like tricky, fast, relentless wingers.... He's just so much fun

I've been a little underwhelmed by both Colombia and Chile. Both look good going forward but suspect in the back against mediocre competition. Home field advantage a huge boost though.

Mother fuck a Brazil. NIPPON!

 

[BBDeac]

Colombia will get Fredy Guarin back for the rest of the WC

After that first goal went in they sat back. Agree they have a creaky D, but they played conservatively as well and that contributed to what you saw.

 

[cville deac]

Didn't know how well Colombia would respond without Falcao. Pretty well is the answer. Liked what I saw from them - 3 pretty goals, 1 great save and nice kits. Definitely rooting for them going forward. And I hope Greece loses all 3 of their games.

Looking forward to Japan/Cote d'Ivoire tonight.

 

[BBDeac]

Santiago Solari is fucking awful. ESPN just need to give up on him.

 

[DeacMan]

He just doesn't speak great English. His comments on game tactics are good. Martinez is the best of the bunch. Lalas makes the worst points.
