Anyone think that U.S. can beat England on Saturday? I'm not a huge soccer fan, but every 4 years I'm glued to the t.v. for a couple weeks.

I want to see Italy take the cup again. They have an old team this time but definatly have better strikers.

I think holland will do very well to even without there top mid Robben

as for england vs U.S, England is the better team by far. I'm not saying England will destroyvthem but if it was an elimination match they would. Rooney and Lampaed is one of the best combo's in the world

**Vitruvian-Man** · 06-12-2010, 11:44 AM

Brazil all the way!

Not a bad result for the US, both teams will qualify..

Not sure about Italy, i fancy Spain or Brazil...

PT · 06-13-2010, 04:19 AM

im a die hard Italy fan but like most people here, i think there to old and wont do well this year. with that said they were ranked #18 in the world last world cup and wernt supposed to even make it out of there group but went on to win it all.

spain and brazil are definatly the 2 best teams and everyone expects them to go all the way which probably means they wont because it rarely ends up like expected. Holland and Germany are 2 very good teams that can go the distance as well as Argentina and England.

Oh yea. I left work early so I wouldn't miss it. I was hoping for a win but as usual they started the cup slow and tied.

When I saw Mourinho win against Barcelona and Bayern Munich with his very defensive tactics I feared the worst for football.In fact, in the long run the Mourinho philosophy could bring the future of football in danger.

By the end of the first games in each group in the world cup it was clear to see that the big majority of teams are trying to play the Mourinho tactics. The result was that never before in the modern times we have seen so many boring games. Because if the two teams play the same tactics you get the most dreadful football you can imagine. The number of goals scored is very low. Alarmingly low I would say. It is not that there is no icing on the cake, there’s not even a cake.

I know you can have very entertaining 0-0 draws but this can only happen when both teams are trying to attack and through a series of last second interceptions, shots against the post and amazing saves, the goals just don’t come. I think we all can remember some games when we could go home satisfied because the game was good, there were chances but sometimes the goal just don’t come.

But so far in the world cup we have seen a lot of games where the teams don’t attack each other. They wait for the other team to attack them and if that team don’t attack them they just keep on sitting in the back.

So we see what happens when all the teams would play the Mourinho tactic. In a way I feel very sorry for South Africa. For the first time there is a world cup in their continent. If we leave aside for the moment all the criticism that one can have against Fifa we must say that it is a great thing to have a world cup in Africa as the people in Africa deserved it.

And now the people who love football in Africa come to see the beautiful game and all they get to see is mostly dreadful football. I think the people in South Africa deserve better. But unfortunately the people don’t decide the tactics; the trainers do.

In a way this world cup is maybe a bit of a blessing for some Arsenal fans. I know most fans enjoy the way we play football in the Wenger era a lot. I do anyway. We play an attacking game, we play nice football with skill and a quick passing game. In most of our games we see good attractive football and we can be proud of the way we play.

Of course after a while some may take this for granted. But when you see during a week nothing but utterly boring and defensive football you begin to appreciate the way we play even more.Yes, Switzerland won against favourites Spain but are we going to sit full of anticipation when they play their next game? Are we going to mark the date and the time in our schedule to be sure that we don’t miss a second of their game? Well I will not that’s for sure. I will be looking when they play so I can be sure that I do something else when they play. And I could have changed the name Switzerland by almost any other country in the tournament. Don’t take it as a personal attack against Switzerland if you are a Swiss Supporter.

So for the moment we can only hope that we might see a bit more football being played and that the coaches have to stop their defensive tactics a bit. But I’m afraid that from the moment the group stages are over we will see even more of this Mourinho type of games. So I will be watching in the hope that we get to see some nice football but I wouldn’t bet any money on it. My money is on most games being decided by penalties including the Final !!!

While i agree that the first few games were boring, ever since the second round of games got under way (apart from the england game), its been excellent!!

I understand the pressure teams were under in the first games, if they lose the first game, unless you have a super team then the chances are you are on the way out of the world cup!!

Mourinho for me builds great teams, he did what he had to do at Inter because of the players he had at his disposal. If he had Wayne Rooney in there with Ronaldo or Messi on the wing then i believe he would play a different game!!

Itl be very interesting as to what he will do at Madrid, i would love him at united

**Pill** · 01-12-2011, 05:14 PM

Man United is not what it used to be... Sorry to say that but I really can´t love United as I did before and especially when Ronaldo left there are just to few personalites left.

**gettingthere** · 01-14-2011, 06:57 AM

I think man utd are going to that BIG transitional phase, but if they can come out of this season with the league and a run in the champions leasgue, then that shows what a club they really are.

I think personalities like Nani, Anderson, Rafael and Hernandez will shine in the coming months....i believe these 4 are the future of man utd along with Chris Smalling
