Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Haha, Well It should be seen as 1 - 0 for NL anyway, the own goal was meh.. Though Awesome safe by Denmark when the ball was almost over the line and he kicked it up high..

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

Ahh that was unlucky Denmark, it was really good played tactically the first 45 minutes though.

japan - cameroon....
boooooorriiiinngg.!!
cameroon suprised me how bad they were on first half.
they should try something else than those long balls.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

First thing first.

Congratulations Netherlands!

Very well played football...as expected.

Not easy for an underdog-team to go up against a football giant. But still, a challenge one wouldent miss for the world.

Well that's what happens when the underdog team finds out that their deployed defensive plan actually works.


1st half was completely by the defensive book


- Concentration on our half

- Diagonal deliveries

- Less focus on close play

- Focus on covering each Dutch player

- Focus on making the Dutch players run

- Focus on trying to frustrate the Dutch team

- Focus on slowing the match down in speed, so the Dutch could not make use of their über offensive skills


The Pause

I can just imagine Morten Olsen, our team trainer/planner, with that content/proud face-experession "I told you so guys", to the team.

See, everybody here was moe than satisified with the outcome of first half.

Then - people - even on a underdog team - can get too happy with the outcome of what seems like a good plan - with the fatal consequence, of letting their guards down...as we became witnesses to, in the beginning of 2nd half.

However, the fact that it became a self goal was a sad surprise.



2nd half (first minute or so) was completly by the satisfied defensive book

- Self-Goal within the first 60 seconds


2nd half (the reamining time) was completly by the desperate book

- Freeze factor deployed it self

- Fight factor tried to deploy it self

- Fatigue & Frustration-factors determined the outcome of the remaining Danish efforts

Have we Danes now joined the English founded Robert Green Association of Fantastic FIFA Failures?

Yes.

God I hate those trumpets...so annoying. Like having a bee trapped in the TV-set.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South africa.
 

So I just came back from watching Netherlands - Denmark.

In the beginning the Denmark was VERY strong. Though I think overal it wasn't a very good match, specialy in the beginning. Too much ball loss and it wasn't very fluental (if that is not an English word I'm sorry :D )

Was funny that everywere on the streets people were wearing orange clothes. Very nice to see. :mrgreen:

had the dutch turned up the steam just a bit we would've been completely steamrolled.
