Do you know how many times i had to explain why i support Algeria? But you were banned for a long time, so its natural that you must have missed it.


I support all Arab teams mate, whether it was Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia whoever.

Can't argue against their bad sportsmanship though.

Sorry, Fred, I had never read your explanation. It's fair enough I guess, I just didn't understand because you seem to be a fan of teams that have a very different style. You reckon they can go far? I really don't like them, but they're a difficult team to play.

Can't wait to see England trashing USA.

And if Slovenia do the same that would be an amazing World Cup!

That's just wrong gio.. You wish England well?! I couldn't possibly like a country with players like Terry in it.

Ken, it is only for the game against the US.

 

[Ken]

Ahh, gotcha.

I'd rather USA do well, they would pose less of a threat in later stages, if we were to get past the quarters.

 

[Nicholas]

Ignore everyone Gio. You're my hero.

No I'm not.

I'm not worried for you guys , you're as good as the brand new fighter plane.

Even if you get your wish, you're still not Italian.

To be honest i am not very optimistic that they will go far at all. I think there is a certain aura of arrogance in their camp, they underestimate Slovenia, and that could be their downfall.

Another thing is, they are overly dependent on set pieces, 60-70% of their goals in qualifiers were scored from set pieces, and while that worked well for them against the unorganized African teams, i doubt they would stand much of a chance against the likes of England and USA in the air.

Its a shame really, that they play the way they do, because they have some really talented players, the problem is their coach Saadane has always been a negative coach, that likes to sit back and depend on the odd mistake by the opposition or a set piece. But with the talent they have, they should be looking to play a more expansive game if you ask me. In short, i'd be a happy man if they reach the second round, but i very much doubt they will.

I wouldn't mind the Dutch going far, but at a certain point the Oranje madness can get quite annoying. It's not the players or the coach or even the media. It's just that well.. let's say that Dutch people who visit Antwerp for a night out generally aren't the most gracious kind.
