delboy Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 apparently even if Holland lose they can still qualify by beating Portugal... hope the Germans beat them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Back to my hatred of Townsend for a second. Did you hear him say "I thought Ronaldos played really well, obviously apart from the 3 chances he's missed and that's what everyone will remember.".Hold on what about all the miss controls and the ballooned crosses? He was riding Torres for missing like 2 chances in his 20 minutes but apart from that he played well.Townsend is a classic shit pundit that just goes along with the general opinion. Torres is an easy target just now and Ronaldo is the 2ndbestplayerintheworld tm so he just sticks to those ideas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I love Gomez. He gets a lot of stick for his all-round game, but his job isn't to imitate Lionel Messi. I love an uncomplicated goalscorer, me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 The Germans don't even look like they have really started yet. Gomez is ace despite having an hispanic name! Hope Klose comes on later and bags one as well! Still plenty of footy to be played in this one mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 What's your views on Cassano's horrific homophobic statement?Taken horrendously out of context. An incredibly stupid and insensitive thing for him to say, but he clearly wasn't being serious and a journalist brought the topic up in the first place. Typical media bollocks taking advantage of a guy who didn't think before he opened his mouth. Cassano is a stupid fucker, but this really isn't a man on a homophobic tirade: http://video.gazzetta.it/fantantonio-se-dico-quello-che-penso-succede-casino/1683803c-b4a3-11e1-9e47-ba816b0c0247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Gomez is brilliant. Lazy as Berbatov but what a finisher.Ozil has clearly been playing for Real. He's looking for anything. Anyone goes near him he thinks it's a free kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 the dutch need to sort this out, the gerries look like scoring every time they go forward.what I meant about Gomez is it sounds like a Mexican or South American surname as opposed to a German one.

Smiles, laughter, tone. I speak only a slither of Italian but it's plain to see that isn't a man on a tirade.From what I understand a journalist asked him a question involving an F word (rhymes with maggot). Cassano responded by repeating the word as a question and responded with an ill-advised piece of "humour." He's been slammed completely out of context, which is wrong. A distinction has to be made between maliciousness and thoughtlessness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 the Dutch were very lucky not to concede a third but at 2-0 they still have a slight chance. Van Der Vart is coming on I think, but the way the Germans finished the half you wouldn't bet against them steamrolling them 2nd half.

Guest Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 And I'll take your point on Cassano but I can't really form an opinion myself unless I see a translation. And just because it's not aggressive homophobia that puts players off coming out, but jokes and jibes and 'humour' perhaps has a worse effect. Still shocking.RVP what a goal!

delboy Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 that sets up a great finale, the clog wearers have a spring in their step again, mind you Klose is on and I always fancy him to score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeno Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 If he can strike a ball like that, you have to wonder why RVP refuses to use his right foot normally. A lot of the opportunities he squandered last year were due to him constantly dragging the ball to his left foot and refusing any chance of shooting with his right. May have just got lucky and hit that much more cleanly than he usually does of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
