QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 10 2010, 02:28 PM)  Well, sure there are. That's why I said 'most' people and not 'all' people. But do you really care whether they play on Friday or Saturday? Well, I'd say in Croatia most of the people care for such matches, and a smaller groups doesn't. It depends. I don't care when Croatia plays against Andorra, but if England or any other big country comes, I do care - you see - Friday is working day and I got to stay mostly late with editorial stuff. Saturday I'm free. |

I am kinda looking forward to Sweden and The Netherlands. Since forever The Netherlands are having finally a tough pill in their group.

So do I and all that Zlatan and Van der Vaart drama..
But sometime the good thing with NT , is to see how the players work with other players then Rossoneri players and Huntelaar has scored more now then the WC, maybe more playtime but I enjoy to see how he's doing.. Buffon likes Prandelli's Italy at least (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) This post has been edited by samira: Oct 10 2010, 04:47 PM |

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 10 2010, 12:29 PM) I don't give a crap about the NT break, and most people don't. Whether it's played on midweek or weekend is of minor importance. I can't wait till it's over so we can get back to some real football. Meh, I support my country as much as I support my club. I just think Friday/Tuesday is crap because unless you live in the City where your NT stadium is, you can't go to the game unless you take the day off work. Stupid from UEFA, but like they give a **** about fans? |

Imo the qualifiers are formalities. They put in the top teams in the weakest groups possible (due to seeding) How many times can we watch the San Marinos, Faroe Isleands, etc get hammered? Meh sure there are the rare occasions of two top teams getting into the same group but that's rare.

I know it's just another friendly, but here's Pato's tonight goal against Ukraine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh6JeBU0m6I The more interesting bit is his goal scoring record under Dunga and Menezes. 1 in 8 and 3 in 3 respectively. I hope Dunga is suffering somewhere! This post has been edited by Zed.D: Oct 11 2010, 10:42 PM |

Dunga...don't remind me of that guy. He crushed Brazil's tradition, he left Pato out with no reason and robbed Kaka maybe the last chance of winning a WC as a regular NT player, not that kid in 2002.

Not just Pato, he basically took a soulless Brazilian team - the likes of Fabiano, Melo and more should consider themselves the luckiest SOBs of all time to get in the starting XI. In the presence of real talent (which was left back home), they'd not even have made the substitute bench. And no, I'm not just talking about Ronaldinho - he deserved at least a place in the 23, if not match action! |

Looking forward to tonights game.
Montenegro have surprised me at how well they've done, won every game 1-0 so far. Our group is quite poor, but Montenegro are a very new (and small) nation so they're doing well for themselves. Win tonight, then do the Welsh home and away and we should be through. |
