[!@#$%!]

this first half exemplifies what i grew up believing was “the european game”: simple, physical, effective, totally lacking flair, and a little dull.

clearly things are not like that, or not anymore anyway, with the massive globalization of the game, and having seen europeans of insane ability now, i know this is just ultimately false.

but to feed the stereotype, compare to yesterday’s brazil/mexico with both the skill and dribbling (good) and histrionics (bad) on display. only think that lacked fom the old days was more goals.

anyway this game sucks for my taste ha ha ha. i hope whoever they play next round crushes them.
