georginho_juventusygr Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I do think that for some, their thoughts were somewhere else. The defense had little confidence tonight, which is confusing. The midfield was a mess, which didn't help either: not knowing how to attack, not knowing how to defend. Balotelli, though, had a good game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astafjevs Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The attack was, mostly, fine. We created chances, but didn't take them. Balotelli had one in the first half, Marchisio too - both of those should have gone in. The defence wasn't great, but two of the goals were really bad individual errors from Maggio. Nothing you can do about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astafjevs Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 How good were the Russians? Looked good going forward. They created a lot of chances - I know two of the goals were from our errors, but they should have scored a couple before that anyway, their finishing was just horrific. Some of the Italy defending wasn't very good though, so I think it was a bit of a mix between Russia being really slick, and Italy looking a bit of a mess.

Niebiescy Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Russian created chances and both teams looked medicore at the back. Could've ended 3-3. Russian finished better from the two teams. Was a very open game. Wouldn't read too much into the score but they look like the team to beat in the group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orzelek Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 FT: Denmark-Australia 2-0 A easy win for the Danes. But besides the small confidence boost, this game wasn't very ueful. Australia was really poor (they were fairly decent at the two last WC's, what happened?) and didn't remind at all about the opposition at the EURO. And despite a rather easy opponent, the Danish defence managed to look really unsecure in many situations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took them until 84th minute to score, despite the usual possession stats.Tbf to them, they could've had 7.

football_master_94 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Sweden weren't overly impressive, they scored through a GK blunder of ours and we bossed the 1st half. The pen was unneccesary too, imo, but as the game slowed down in tempo (from 70 ish minutes onwards), the Swedes looked much more comfortable and created a few chances - I think it was the high pressing game we set up at the start that was what Sweden didn't react too and both Lustig and Olsson kept bombing forward which created gaps at the back, which we exploited. They'd probably do well against sides in their group who won't set out at a high tempo and are reliant on a counter attacking game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Yes, remember hearing something about that recently. Quite impressive and also a little odd but I guess some of the more traditional nations may not have played all of the newer nations whereas they obviously have. I wonder who's next in line and how many England have played and who we haven't, etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
