Spot on and this is what all boils down to: Spanish, Portuguese and South American players in particular have these values ingrained from birth. You can guarantee Cesc Fabregas will never have been applauded for 'getting the ball in the mixer' during his spell in the Barcelona Academy. By contrast, walk down to any park in England on a Sunday afternoon and count how many times the next generation are encouraged to 'get stuck in'. If you have played football at school level, its never about skill and tatctics. Its always about running, running and running. If you could last 90 mins of long balls, tackles and harsh conditions, you're in the team every week.

Hope A&T saw the game last night. He will probably still tell you Spain are no match for Brazil even though they dominated a team that dominated them.

Bal may iska sugaan dhe. Odayaal, islaamo (more islaamo than odayaal).

The phone was ringing at 1am last night. People wanted an update

The SSC issue has been talked about for a long time. I'm still waiting on someone to tell me why they're fighting. Credit where credits due ya Xiin. All indications suggest a credible election has taken place in SL. Now, unless you believe SL is a seperate state (from Somalia) and doesn't deserve a pat on the back, you would do well to congratualte them

Ayew is Abedi Pele's son?

A&T wuu madax adagyahaye wax lagama dhaadhicin karo.

Bump

Alxamdullilah it rained :cool:

After being dominated by Portugal you're confident vs Holland?

I'm not your typical England fan warya. I see the flaws and know we don't have the players to win anything. But, still cheer them on :cool: Now its all about Ghana, Argentina, Spain and Holland (in that order).

Serenity, are you looking for a serious discussion in troll corner?

Sun tan? I was hoping in aan ku casaado UK. I'm hoping for rain Juxa, don't rub it in :mad:

Hadaad conclusion gaadhay maxaad naga rabtaa? I'm not going to talk about England. Until the next major tournament

Afternoon all Meeshiinu kululaa

Aar naga taga

Wow. Those pictures are fantastic. History is being made.

Well done reer SL. Whatever the result, lets hope no irregularities mare this momentus achievement.

No excuses. That was a teriible performance by England. If they tried and lost, fair enough. But what irks people the most is that they didn't even play at all. Scared to go forward. When a team worries about conceding goals they usually concede goals. Well done the Germans. grrr :mad:

I wonder what A&T inagu sheekeendoona after Brazil is dominated by Portugal and Baptista had a stinker

Originally posted by NGONGE: In case anyone reads Norf's comment above and suddenly think he does not know what he's talking about, let me tell you that his emphasis there was on the tackles and not the 'cold days'. Germany is indeed as cold as England. The style of play is not the same you big loaf of sliced brown bread!

Bob, Bundesliga ya daawada? He is a good player but after a few tackles on a cold day wuu isku dhex yaaci lahaa.

LoL I like the comment about Platini just being 'French'

^Suarez = alot of running but no end product. Headless chicken.
