World Cup 2010 - Round of 16

Pretty funny footage on Sky Sports News there.

Obama watching the USA game last night in Toronto. ā€˜This is overtime, right? If itā€™s still a tie, thereā€™ll be another period of overtime, right?ā€™

They interviewed some mental Ghana supporter too - ā€˜Who is the USA? Who is the USA? All they have is MONEY. Who is the USA? We are Ghana. GHANA HAS FOOTBALL.ā€™

Saw that too, hereā€™s a clip of it

Rocko what is the thinking of playing Boetang at left back given that he doesnā€™t 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€¦

I always thought buying a new mattress would be really difficult

Didi is back!!! huzzah!

:clap:

A shame Dunphy isnt on though.

Would nearly rather listen to the brit propaganda than listen to George Hamilton

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.

6 and a half minutes in and England yet to put more than 2 passes together

Barry struggling to stay with Ozil already.

Iā€™m not sure Pukey. I think it leaves them vulnerable on that side because Podolski doesnā€™t 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. Heā€™s 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.

Great early chance for Ozil.

Offside from the first header. He can only be played onside by another English player touching the ball, otherwise itā€™s the same phase.

Podolski should have played someone in there.

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

Hmm dont know about that Rocko. Certainly a risky deflect/pass back.

Gerrard has started very poorly and Lampard has barely touched it. If the Krauts score early it might be pretty comfortable.

Thatā€™s the rule you remain offside until someone on your team touches it.

Hard to beat a bit of kick and rush football

Gerrard and Rooney giving the ball away repeatedly here.

Klose = Pele.

Horrible effort from Terry, Upson and James.

Yessssssssssssss!!! :lol:
