Looks like Slovakia will need to win this game given Paraguay draw with this Italy, not the optimal situation...Players will need to psyche themselves for this match and play to win, Hamsik, who I think has been ineffective in qualifiers will need to perform at the top of his game for Slovakia to have a chance

Hamsik has to take control of the midfield, otherwise we won't get anywhere.

Nedved may be his idol, but he's too busy trying to be Lampard instead of trying to organize the midfield, distribute, and be a leader.

Back on topic...

Qualifying for the World Cup was one thing. Leading in their first match was another. It was a learning experience and, hopefully, they are the better for it. Slovakia have quality, both young and veteran. The Repre can do this.

I still believe they take four (4) points from the remaining two matches.

Good luck tomorrow, I think you can win that one. Just don't make stupid defensive blunders and you should be alright. :thmbup:

Kozak and Durica both need to be lined up and shot.

Actually, make that all of them, no-one deserves to be out there. Just horrendous and pathetic.

Is Weiss waiting for Durica to score an own goal? Why is he playing at this WC, he's playing at a schoolboy level. Slovakia is by far the worst European side so far in this WC, awful defending, no creativity in midfield, seems like only Weiss Jr has balls to make something happen. Replace Durica with Cech, Strba with Kucka and Kozak with Stoch. This is the last chance
