thursday 1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Never liked the Dutch. I vaguely remember their loss to West Germany in 74. It was black n white TV then. So the Dutch were in the dark shirts kicking left to right. those old games are played speeded up these days just so they look like they are the same pace. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 But in fact when they run, they're equivalent to a fast walking pace now. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I think your problem might just be too much good food from the sea, too much sunshine, waves and beaches. Altogether too much of a good life to be able to get into football. You must try harder. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Watching the World Cup is not a good way to get into it! Standard has been low. Enough to put me off! You want to watch some quality team football. One of the big league games, or a good Champions League game. Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I managed to avoid it quite well too. Did anyone else noticed how quiet it went in Japan after they were knocked out. "Honda boarded a plane to Russia today with everyone in the world interested in signing him. (Cut to 30 minutes life story of Honda along with some 'kandoteki' music. With those goals shown again of course. 10 times). Oh, and finally, er, some foreign country won the world cup." Link to post Share on other sites

You want to watch some quality team football. One of the big league games, or a good Champions League game. I can appreciate the skills in the game but I like a more physical form of sport. If you took out the all the dives and faked injurys I'd give it more respect. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 There are really very few examples of the beautiful game played these days. There is just too much money involved for a club to risk losing. The Premier League for me is exciting in comparison to Serie A, La Liga and the rest. And for top notch excitement, watch ManU. They're the best. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 you still get diving in the Prem league and Champions League. Mantas, no fans actually want to see diving or play-acting, its the poofy players with long hair that like to do that Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Well yes of course you still get some, but not as much. But more importantly you get to see a physical game played by teammates who actually know each other and play week in week out. *Blimey I hope that dosn't cop one of them 'wagons circling' type comment, don't think it will but you never know.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Actually some of the Champs league games are pants as well. The group games especially if a team has already qualified, knockout stages are much better. Link to post Share on other sites
