Ballocks 24 passes. Are they trying to say they were all part of the goal? It was all planned? Jesus. The last 6 passes provided the goal, the preceding ones were just possession.
Agreed - only when they got on edge of area did they start to have any urgency and go for goal in those last 4 or 5 passes....prior to that I was just getting bored. Contrast that with Spain's 4th when Puyol won the ball in midfield and forced his way through with a one-two with Torres. Yep the Argentina one was a good goal and one of the best of the tournament but Torres' goal blew me away more when I watched it....before he struck it I said "I hope this goes in" because the whole build up had been breathtaking.
It's getting better. Apparently Australia's win over Japan was the country's greatest sporting achievement.
RE: It's getting better. I semo all a certain Jimmy Hill doing the same around a certain goal for Liverpool against Newcastle in the 1974 FA Cup Final.

Heh heh. If it goes on like this............ .......you're going to have to find a new role. You can't have arrogant, condescending wind-up merchant. It's already taken. .
