maloudas crap. hes crap for chelsea and crap for france.

HECKLER SPRAY · 06.13.2008, 06:09 PM

Idon't like him but he was not the worst player during this match, and he did a really good pass to Henry (wasted...)

HECKLER SPRAY · 06.13.2008, 06:13 PM

I must ad that a duch player stoped Henry's shot with his hand whereas he was about to score. Fucking blind referee...

Bertrand · 06.14.2008, 03:29 AM

France hadn't been beaten by more than 3 goals, in a big tournament, since 1958 !
And the last friendly catastrophe seems to be 26 years old, 0-4 against Poland, in Paris.

Local journalists predict a Romanian victory, due to a Dutch scheme planned not to meet Italy and France again.
I seriously doubt it.
OK, Van Basten might pick guys from his bench, but his subs aren't out of shape worthless players. Besides, the bench option was welcomed as a bright move, when Aimé Jacquet and Roger Lemerre did for France on their 3rd game group stage in 1998 and 2000 (a victory in 1998 against Denmark, a defeat in 2000 against the Oranges - so, yes, a group leader defeat might occur).
Romania will play without key defender Goian, and midfielder Radoi whose clash on the pitch with Rat(?) might lead to an operation.

Anything's possible, but, und das ist eine big but...

The only arranged game I remember was Austria-West Germany during the 1982 world cup. Both teams had started playing accordingly to the rules as we understand them. Each threatened the other. And, 30 minutes from the end of the game, realizing the result was satisfying for both sides, they gently kicked the ball, never approaching the box, avoiding cards, injuries and exhaustion - and Algeria, second before the game, came third due to a weaker goal average and exited.

why the hell would holland let romania beat them so they dont face france or italy again?
they thrashed both of them!

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.14.2008, 04:52 AM

man i need spanish intervention today again to save my team.. terrible round of matches for me.

Bertrand · 06.14.2008, 06:21 AM

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt... erm... how it feels to lag behind.
How to improve?
If I pick a great player the leader has, his results won't fill the gap.
Chances chances chances for the last group stage day, find the hidden jewel noone has, and see him score 5 goals in a row.
Higher chances, everybody brings four subs from unqualified teams and use their wild card unappropriately.
As probable as Netherlands scoring own goals to help Romania.

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.14.2008, 05:20 PM

only 5 points behind obiku fc... but only 8 clear of the fast rising bolanarede

its tight at the top...

transfers done, need to tighten up at the back and score more goals!!!

still top of my head to head group with a +7 points difference tho....

atari 2600 · 06.14.2008, 06:27 PM

can't remember if the money caused me to lose Ibramovich, but I know I had him at one point (haven't checked the standings and assume the worst -- haha)

watched nearly the whole Sweden v Spain match today...exciting conclusion in stoppage time...

I have a feeling Malouda will come good in the next couple of years, or be sold and then become good in the next couple of years

nicfit · 06.15.2008, 03:56 AM

have fun, I think I'll soon be disqualified for lack of points...

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.15.2008, 04:35 AM

DONT GIVE UP.. all you need is a bit of luck....

nicfit · 06.15.2008, 04:42 AM

ha ha you sound like a motivational poster

!

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.15.2008, 05:56 AM

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.15.2008, 02:23 PM

an extra ten million added to budget for knockout stages!!!! and unlimited transfers... now it gets hard!!

PAULYBEE2656 · 06.15.2008, 03:46 PM

what a thoroughly bizarre 10 minutes of football...... the turks wont get much further but my god........ bizarre!

petr cech, you gotta feel for him and the czechs but that was an unbelievable game...

glad i got rid of my czech players although my new goialie didnt do much tonight either!

pokkeherrie · 06.15.2008, 04:00 PM

Wow, what a sensational ending of the Czech-Turkey game! Unbelievable!

...costed me a lot of fantasy points though.

pokkeherrie · 06.15.2008, 04:07 PM

Guess it's not too late yet to comment on the Holland-France game... I once again had a very enjoyable night at the pub! Hope it was good for you as well, Bertrand/Heckler Spray!

I wasn't very confident during the second part of the first half though. France put on a lot of pressure and clearly exposed the defensive weaknesses of the Dutch team. Luck was a more important factor in this game than it was in the Italy game. But what a very, verrrry bold move by Van Basten to put on both Robben and Van Persie while being under that kind of pressure. How many coaches would have done that? I wasn't sure if it was a good idea at the time, but 5 minutes later they were responsible for the 2-0, so I had to eat my words/thoughts.
After that Robben goal people were standing up and applauding. Amazing finish and perfectly timed, 45 seconds after Henry's goal (which was awesome as well). Thuram and Coupet could've done better though... Sneijder's goal was great too, but he has scored many like those for Ajax.

Bring one the quarters! Whoever's going to win it now, they will always have won "the tournament in which that Dutch team played so awesome".

nicfit · 06.15.2008, 04:09 PM

well, it was fun.
