This one really only had Lampard's non-goal and Uruguay/Ghana.

This one really only had Lampard's non-goal and Uruguay/Ghana. This world cup had plenty controversial incidents. What are you smoking? Why do you need controversy to stay interested. I just demand, high quality games with good amount of goals.

I just > demand, high quality games with good amount of goals. High quality games would be fine, but too many were defensive and not high quality. And there were too few players who stood out with brilliant peformances. No Maradonas or Zidanes in this World Cup (well, one, but only on the sidelines).

I don't know why there is this "German=boring" chlichee, They are boring because they are mechanical, machine like, even though effective, with hardly any creativity. Just because they score a lot of gols, doesn't mean they aren't boring.

Every internet article I read during the past month, I saw lots of praise for the current German team. Being Italian and being a fan of Italian "football", you shouldn't be talking about boring football. > > Just because they score a lot of gols, doesn't mean they aren't boring. Bullshit, the more goals the better. |
