thoughts on the world cup.........
Denmark have played the most attractive soccer to date, Italy have been ultra impressive and to me are the team to beat, England have the pieces to the puzzle, just have to put them together, Spain look very skillful, but I have reservations abt their defence, Morientes has to start!
Brasil are feeble, their 'stars' are not much to write home abt, Carlos, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho are all over-rated. Argentina were not impressive at all, but have the talent, France gee wiz they were a dissapointment. Of the african teams only Cameroon has shown any real class.
At this early stage it seems as if what pao says is true teams want to go for the win which is good for football, but Im dissapointed in the lack of real individual talents. Soccer has changed too much the past decade, no-one has the ability anymore to consistantly control a game single-handed b/c they just get triple and quadruple teamed :sigh:
Croatia were hopeless, pathetic against mexico, slow, too defensive oriented and old. Saudis were attrocious and Uruguay are nothing.
let portugal roll on.......
