Iran vs Portugal - the worst game of the falling over and cheating world cup I've seen so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So funny, and so true!! I'd like to set a young Graeme Souness on them. Then they'd know what writhing in agony is really all about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC33 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) I watched the Australia v Peru match. Australian commentator Criag Foster having a right old go in the studio at the defensive approach in this WC by the Socceroos. Not having a go at defending from the front - aka the Liverpool approach. In the second half of the game tonight Australia pushed forward and for the first time in the tournament somewhat dominated their opponents. I watch the same thing in the EPL and SPL - it takes a team losing to commit bodies forward. I hope at the next WC Australia play with a bit more belief / positivity in their approach. The Socceroos need to appoint Klopp. Defending deep with 10 or 11 players behind the ball and hoping for a goal on the counter or from a set piece is hardly a positive approach and not really the Australian way of having a go. Credit to 38 year old Tim Cahill who looked our best striker when he came on for the last 35 minutes. Edited June 26, 2018 by MAC33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I hope at the next WC Australia play with a bit more belief / positivity in their approach. The Socceroos need to appoint Klopp. I'm sure he'd jump at the opportunity to give up managing class players, reaching finals in Europe etc to take on a bunch of journeymen.

iansheff Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Fed up of all the diving, pulling and feigning injury in this world cup, it is just cheating and spoiling the game. Also the players running after the referee all the time telling them to look at VAR in the hope of getting a penalty every time a ball catches a players arm, as happened just now in the Argentina game.
