[WC] World Cup 2010 - General Talk Thread (24 Viewers)

interesting post i came across

Very interesting indeed but I don't really know whether I can accept the confusion the guy pictures here: and in the confusion, the linesman really can’t be sure exactly where Tevez was a few seconds ago because I have never been a linesman. So I only have to base my judgment on similar incidents and it would tell me that the lineman in Mexico-Argentina game made a terrible mistake. We all have seen many incidents like that in which a passive player suddenly becomes active interfering with the game, still the linesman manages to flag for offside.

And I agree with Bill Shankly. Everyone is interfering with the game because if it wasn't for the passive attacker, the defender who marks him could have covered the active attacker instead

If Holland beat Brazil then its Robben or Messi for the Ballon D'or.

 

[JCK]

Holland will not beat Brazil

 

[Nicholas]

Diego Milito for the Ballon D'or

 

[king Ale]

If Argentina win the world cup, Messi will win the Ballon D'or and rightly so.

Why?

Milito won Inter the League,Champions League and the Coppa.

Messi has sucked for Argentina this World Cup and failed against Inter massivly.

thats a little harsh don't you think,he has been well marked in a couple of games already but has created a lot of goals for Argentina already,he had a hand in all 4 goals v Korea. sure he is not scoring but he has been bloody close numerous times,besides he is playing floating role behind the strikers and it is his job to be the creative force in there

Harsh maybe so, but don't you think the likes of Maradona and Zidane were closly marked for their respected countrys?

I'm sorry but being marked out of the game against Mexico,Greece and to an extent Nigeria is not acceptable for the calibre of player Messi is. Ronaldo's another one he's been extremly poor for Portugal yet atleast he's scored.

Messi had a brilliant season too. And he is at least playing in the World Cup, unlike Milito and as Miroslave said, Messi has not been bad at all so far either. If one Argentinian player is going to win it, it's only Messi now that Zanetti is not there.

 

[Bozi]

judge messi not on the goals he has scored but the goals he has created,Argentina don't need his goals,they need his creative genius

It's not Militos fault that Maradona prefers Higuain. Messi has had one good game out of 4. Thats pretty bad for me.

That was only evident in one game though.

one good game? i bet he finishes the tournament with most assists

 

[Nicholas]

Yeah

Poor against Mexico, Poor against Greece, Average against Nigeria.

It's not his fault but you have to play in your team if you want to win the Ballon D'or in a World Cup year. Messi has just not lived up to the expectations yet but he hasn't been bad at all.

hoori...its Bozi

Who else could have such a sick username? :wub:

 

[Lion]

the fact is messi has choked massively.

he has not played up to his standard.

 

[Ahmed]

LOL @ choked

Argentina can't function without him!

no gameplan, no tactics and no creativity...Maradona's team is living on a prayer, and Messi's contribution!

 

[Suns]

Messi has been good this WC.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

Why?

Milito won Inter the League,Champions League and the Coppa.
