when you fall back in such a game, it always ends like this. in 1974, that's how Holland lost to Germany in the final. they've totally f*cked it up, Bryn. brilliant first half, I must say, but in the second... they should hang the coach for this. that defensive play is NOT effective. the frenchmen had LOADS of good occasions, and I am laughing of them too for not scoring in those moments. falling back into defense is good when you have at least 2 goals of advantage.
and stop playing The Man on football, it's ridiculous.
btw, what I saw on Beckham's neck, is he now a neonazi?
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
