for reference : Will Brinson - US Disallowed Goal Video - TwitVid

No foul, no offside, Edu waltzes his way past all the defenders (one in which is performing the f'ing heimlich maneuver on Bradley :|) and scores a cracker of a goal......

yep....welcome to the world of FIFA ref's, USA.

What reason did the referee give for that dissalowed goal?



You better fix this, before you get a ban:wink:

I has happy from all the Americans being pised off, finally caught up with soccer have you? :p

I don't actually follow the cup, will there be rematch or something since it's 2-2?

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

No. We get one point for a tie and now have to hope that Algeria wins.

GO DESERT FOXES!

Algeria - England

Round 1

Interesting match - Algeria - England, lots of offensive play!

Seems Algeria is more on the offensive than England is - for the moment at least.

According to the Danish sport commentators, the Algerian coach yesterday, brought the entire Algerian team together and showed them a movie about the Algerian liberation war against France, basically telling his team, that this match today, they would have to fight for their country.

A bit over the top in my opinion, but thats just me being a boring Scandinavian i guess.


Pause comments

0 - 0 so far

There is no doubt in my mind, that Algeria is doing over the top until now. They play much better than I expected.

The other side of that expectation, is of course England, who showed only a few times, what a dangours team they actually are?

Personally I think England has a better team than Algeria.

So. Well, questions.

What is the English strategy for this match?

Has the English coach read the cards correctly? (cause his team is very strong as I view it)

Is the English play - somehow - planned to be as defensive as possible while being as offensive as possible - at the same time?

Any thoughts?

Note: although the referee factor deployed it self in round 1, I dont think its impact has been big enough, to say it has impacted the round as a whole.


Round 2

England seems to get the upperhand now.

reason: Algeria, when you check their play out, seem to begin loosing their cohesion...more and more their players go for them self --- thus opportunism begin to deploy it self. And Algeria has a football-history of lack of teamplay and team-dicipline.

I could be wrong right now, wont be the frst time i ahve been so, but thats what i see at the moment.

Looks like Algeria is getting the cohesion back again. That window of opportunity - England has - is closing in now.


Conclusion

Result is 0-0.

England, whom everybody, including my self, expected much more from, has not lived up to its reputation.

From a football point of view that is of course sad.

Algeria, whom according to the Danish sports commentators, doesn't even have professional football yet (can anyone confirm that?), did much better than anyone expected, including my self.

Who knows? Maybe the Algerian coach decided to do right, when showing his players that film?

Maybe England faces a reform of some sort in their football?

Interesting match however, lots of offensive play, lots of chances...world cup...you gotta love it.

Go ALGERIA!!!

This is the only time in my life I've watched soccer. First ever game I've watched was the US-England game.
Second game I have ever watched was this morning's game against Slovenia.
