And a good number of these players are Championship standard at best. Just WTF are we doing wrong? Title: Re: World Cup - Day 19 Post by: Costanza on Monday, June 30, 2014, 21:29:17 Many of these Algerian players have come through the ranks within the French youth system.
In a few years the English expats in France, Spain and Portugal will be providing England with the future... I'm semi-serious.

Title: Re: Post by: Cookie on Monday, June 30, 2014, 21:52:05 This is a good watch. Don't fancy the Algerians on pens against the hun
Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Monday, June 30, 2014, 21:55:41 You just know the Germans will nick it somehow.
Both keepers have been superb. The Algerian (on trial at stfc in 2007 apparently) had made some great saves. The German sweeper keeper has bailed out the German defence whenever it looked slower than an Elkins/Ruddock partnership. Not that they ever played together AFAIK. Title: Re: World Cup - Day 19 Post by: reeves4england on Monday, June 30, 2014, 22:00:23 1-0, game over? Algeria have had plenty of chances and haven't had the quality up front. Hope they can nick one back though.

Title: Re: World Cup - Day 19 Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, June 30, 2014, 22:27:25 Just me that thinks Lahm is over-rated at CDM? Possibly not, but Pep Guardiola, who put him in there, says that Lahm is the cleverest footballer he's ever worked with. I don't think he meant it in a Clarke Carlisle, Britain's Brainiest Footballer way. Title: Re: World Cup - Day 19 Post by: WEBBERhyde on Monday, June 30, 2014, 22:37:48 Superb game. What a shame Algeria couldn't find the killer final ball when it mattered.
Great character. Every player left everything on the pitch. If England showed half the guts Algeria did during the group matches, who knows where we could be. |
