Young Polak Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Simply not fired up for the match and just the basic of errors and decision making is what cost them. Hopefully they will go home and learn what they did wrong and hopefully upgrade from their clubs to improve their skillsets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n i k o Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Worst part for me is that yet again we have under performed on the world scale. It'd be nice to play to our potential once in a while in these big events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Worst part for me is that yet again we have under performed on the world scale. It'd be nice to play to our potential once in a while in these big events. Admittedly we played poorly against Spain for 70+ minutes and poorly against Chile for about the first 20 but other than that I thought we were exceptional. I haven't seen the Socceroos play with such enthusiasm and flair since 2006 and with our squad being so young during a period of rejuvenation under Ange there are so many positives to be taken from the campaign, especially considering the quality of opposition. Sure, I would've liked to have picked up a point or two but overall I'm happy with the tournament, it's nice to actually be excited about the national team again. Anything less than a victory at the Asian Cup however will be a failure imo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed though, Croatia are capable of so much more than they've achieved but I reckon you guys have a good chance to do well at the Euros, you should qualify with ease.

Nate Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 This is a horrible game to watch, both Uruguay and Italy are playing rubbish football. Also very sick of the play-acting and lying on the ground after fair tackles that clearly didn't cause injury, it's such a bad part of our game. Just get up and play football for fuck's sake.

Tough one to answer, a long a varied history with many twists and turns a very simplistic (and not too well received by my Dutch friends) is that the words Dutch and Deutsch are not too dissimilar. Germanic tribes settled in the lowlands , eons ago, then like most of Europe, various waves of invaders and settlers passed through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samaras definitely took a tumble. Fair enough then. I was looking at some footage and there is definitely contact between the two, but it seems the contact is brought through the active movement of Samaras, while the Ivory Coast player is simply being passive. I guess one could argue either way about it, but it's a very bold call given what was on the line for the two countries. As a maco who has a number of Greek mates, can't stand Greece's style of play, and is sick of hearing about Euro 2004, it really bugs me that they are in the final 16. Inb4 they pull off the biggest fluke in history, win the WC, and we won't hear the end of it in this life or any other life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also hit the jackpot scoring a match against probably the easiest of all the group winners in Costa Rica, it's amazing that one of those two teams will make the final 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
