Obama watching the USA game last night in Toronto. āThis is overtime, right? If itās still a tie, thereāll be another period of overtime, right?ā
They interviewed some mental Ghana supporter too - āWho is the USA? Who is the USA? All they have is MONEY. Who is the USA? We are Ghana. GHANA HAS FOOTBALL.ā
Rocko what is the thinking of playing Boetang at left back given that he doesnāt looked very comfortable there and is very one footed by the look of him there against Ghanaā¦Would it not make more sense to shift Lahm across there seeing as he is very comfortable on either sideā¦
Martin Tyler and Efan Ekoku bringing the action to Sydney. Thought Rooney was robbed there with that decision. Ozil getting free early on for the Germans. He should have gone low though.
Iām not sure Pukey. I think it leaves them vulnerable on that side because Podolski doesnāt track back that much.
While Lahm played an awful lot of football at left bacl it seems to be a conscious decision at club and international level that those days are over. Heās actually a very good crosser of the ball and getting him attacking on the right helps that.
There are two potential left backs in the squad (Jansen and Aogo) but I think they feel they need height back there and to get one full back staying deep the whole time, hence the slight imbalance.
He may well be an unmerciful cunt off the field but Ashley Cole really is a world class left backā¦One of the few England players to constantly perform at major tournaments
