Phil Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 its finished T&T 0-0 Sweden, thats a brilliant result for England. The scottish supporters that supported T&T must have spured them on to hold out for a draw. Thanks Scotland! :D T&T will be mor up for playing against England because most of their players play in Britain. Don't think us Scots are willing anything for England. I want T&T to beat England. The English better watch out :P C'mon the T&T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Didnt trinidad and tobago have one of the best defence records in the qualifying rounds? Uh, yeah, remind me who they had to qualify against? I dunno about the original fact about best defence record, but T&T had to qualify in the same group as teams like USA, Mexico & Costa Rica. Also T&T played more qualifying games than any other country on their way to Germany. 20 in total, because they had playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Anyone watch Ivory Coast Vs Argentina? Great match of football. Ivory coast have some great players. Everyone gave 100% today. I would have like to see Eboue a bit more, he didnt get the freedom he gets when he plays for Arsenal to go on those fast counter attacking runs. But still, an amazing, fast flowing match. I really look forward to the next in this group. BK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Was a good game kav. Pretty much what I expected though. Argentina just edged them out. 2-1 was my prediction before the kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kav Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Yeah Owen is definately not match fit. his first touch today was shockingly bad. Fair enough, i think Micheal Owen wasnt match fit, his first touch today was appauling. And he messed up too many times, when he should have controlled, and shot or either passed. But as soon as Downing came on we started having problems. Joe cole went to partner Peter crouch up front, yet joe cole was the player standing deep trying to win the flick ons. That should have been crouch. I dont see why Sven had to move Joe Cole around, he was having a great game on the left as it was. What we needed was a striker to bring on for owen, a straight swap. This is Sven's fault, we dont have one, because he chooses to gamble on Rooney and Walcott, the latter which he obiously doesnt have much faith or trust in, otherwise he would have brought on. When Hargreaves came on for Joe cole though, thats when the real trouble started. I really dont understand why he didnt take off Crouch instead. We needed someone who could just run fast, take pressure off our defence, play on the counter attack, and if we needed a few seconds to reshape our defence, run the ball into the corner and hold it up. Theo Walcott with his fast pace would have been ideal for this, Joe cole would have been too. But instead, Sven opts for Peter Crouch. I mean he has a decent first touch and can win headers, but so what? whats the point if no one is there to pick up the pieces? Crouch just isnt the type of player we needed as a lone striker, especially with the lack of support from the midfield we had. As soon as Sven chose to bring of Cole for Hargreaves, i know we were going to be on the backfoot the rest of the match. I really hope he doesnt screw up again. Im not convinced much by the Lamps + Gerrard partnership either, personally i think Gerrard is a better player overall, and he was definately better today. I would like to see Carrick given another chance. The reff was bad today too, but thankly it was nothing major, very fustrating too. Its a shame about the commentry, i would have loved to have Andy Gray screaming at the top of his lungs, a bit like Liverpool in the champions league final 2 years ago lol. (beauty!!!!!!!!!!) BK.

Necromagus Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I still think Ivory Coast could have at least pulled out a 2-2 if they finished their oppertunities off with a little more accuracy. Kalou especially missed two brilliant chances. They collapsed in the final 15 minutes though, mostly because their passing got sloppy.

I slept through it to be honest with you, along with half the England Paraguay match, i mean honestly did the brits seem to just...lack intrest in the match? The T&T/Sweden match was one of the more exciting 0-0 draws I've seen for for a while. Well maybe because I'm actually supporting one of the teams. I think it was more exciting that than the England/Paraguay match though. England should have put another striker on when they took Owen off. Ah well, watched 5 matches in 2 days, it's all good. 3 more tomorrow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slept through it to be honest with you, along with half the England Paraguay match, i mean honestly did the brits seem to just...lack intrest in the match? If you get a chance to watch the replays or something, watch Ivory Coast vs Argentina. Easily the best match of the world cup so far. Anyway i think that Yaya toure has great potential, and he showed glimpses of good vision too yesterday, i think he could become a riquelme style player, though slighly more defensive. I think Riquelme is more of a luxury player. He plays in front of two defensive midfielders, so the Argentina team is built around him. I think he has a free role, and so doesnt really track back or help to defend much. Because of this, the argentina team dont have any real wingers, just the fullbacks, and strikers when they drift into those positions. I think thats where they could be weak, on the sides, as Ivory Coast made a lot of progress there yesterday too. BK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcticrunite Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Ive seen about 20 highlights of the Ar/IC matchup and i feel bad i missed it, especially the IC because of whats going on there now.

kav Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Looking forward to the holland match today , i hope that RVP gets a chance. The whole group looks very interesting, and very competitive. Its a shame that Ivory Coast make their debut in such a tough group, had it been another group, they would easily have gone through to the next round. BK.
