I agree with your opinion on the best performance Koka being by Argentina. I know Serbia got a guy sent off but before that had happened the
Argetinians were giving Serbia a hiding!
Riquleme is playing his role brilliantly dictating play and setting up chance after chance and they have guys who are comfortable on the ball and most
of the players look like they are capable of scoring good goals plus they have good squad depth.
When Holland played against Serbia, alright in the first half Holland were better but in the 2nd half Serbia looked much better and i thought that was
them improved.
Not sure what will happen with Brazil, i thought 9 of their players looked good the othey day against Croatia but Ronaldo and Adriano were rather
poor. Ronaldo being extremelly poor! but defintly!, they can only get better and i believe they will. The World Cup is their scene without doubt, but
how far they go really depends on Ronaldo. Fair enough they won against the Croatians but they were lucky, looking forward to seeing what they do
against the Aussies who are an aggresive team. Craig Moore has already came out and said he will do dirty tackles on Ronaldinho if it helps them get a
point.
England have been poor in my opinion, and its kinda mystery as to why. Looking at all the players they have, especially Lampard and Gerrard these guys
are the best players at their clubs yet when you put them all together they dont click into this amazing team as you would expect. There is talk of
Lampard and Gerrard being rested against the Sweden game though
I thought when Lennon came on he looked good, was running at defenders and that has not happened much. I think the best player in the team so far has
been Joe Cole. Not sure if it was ITV or BBC but there was an analysis of England when they have the ball and it was all the players seem to be static
and making no runs
With the African teams it looks like the team with the biggest chance of going through will be Ghana! i never seen the game yesterday but to beat the
Czech's 2 nil is a great result
Are you from ATS? thought i recognized the name
