The world expects more...
So the World Champions have gone the same way as England, stuttering to a less-than-convincing 1-0 win. In truth it was quite disappointing, they were predictably panicky in defense, but also rarely found any rhythm or excitement in attack. Had they been playing against a team with more of a clue what to do in the opposition penalty area than Croatia, it could easily have been an embarrassing start for the untouchables.
To sum up I feel like I have been watching Chelsea – they have won without ever really playing that well. Some would say that’s how tournaments are won. I would rather say that we should expect much better from this group of superstars.
ON another note Stefan & I watched Switzerland play out a tense but tactically fascinating draw with France (it could have been even better, had the paint on that post been a few mm thinner…) This also presented one of those interesting club Vs country dilemmas – how would I feel if Louis Saha had scored…? For sure I would have been sleeping outside tonight if I had hinted at the merest satisfaction with that!
So having seen all of the ‘top’ teams in action now (with the exception of Portugal) I must say I fancy the Italians up to now (NO innuendo intended…) Having said that I accept no liability for any money lost as a consequence of Rob’s tips… You play entirely at your own risk.
Anyone want to fight about this? Cileia, how is the mood tonight in the streets of Rio …?
Why can’t every day be a football day…?
