Redshift Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I think the WC is just getting off to a slow start. The games should pick up when the teams have to win imo, plus they will also acclimatize to the ball and altitude. I think you're right, a lot of teams tend to be a bit cagey in the first games although these two really need to get a result here given the they'll probably all beat N. Korea and face Brazil at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe__the__man Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hahaha, long time since i've seen that sprint technique Ronaldo has. His legs moving so quick yet his head stays in the exact same position, motionless. Tbf it's not his technique, watch any reasonable standard 100m event and nobody moves their head.

crouchaldinho Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm hoping that rather than it being down to the ball, the altitude, the atmosphere or any other physical factors, it's more down to teams not wanting to throw their first game away. Hopefully they'll start to settle down in the second round of matches, before getting really frantic and entertaining in the crunch games. I suspect you may be right. I just can't remember such a slow start to a World Cup. Maybe it is a case of this and of teams acclimatising too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdpatriots12 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Can't say I watch American football :o Well, to put it simply since they don't have to worry about dribbling, once a running back is in the open field he keeps his head up - to keep an eye on oncoming defenders and to take the best angles going forward - and if they're in the open field they can open up their stride, and therefore look more upright. In both sports in traffic players have a tendency to keep their head down for a number of reasons. In American football it's to protect themselves by having a lower center of gravity. Anyway, just a brief observation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
