Group B - Argentina, Nigeria, Korea Republic, Greece

Red card for that? Barely touched him.

Oh, and that Greece player had real life lag. He went down noticeably late. What a dive.

silly boy

Greece just a horrible, horrible football team.

Just checked who they qualified ahead of: the might of Latvia, Israel, Luxembourg & Moldova. Then beat The Ukraine (who aren't great) 1-0 over two legs.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah I read the start of the original WC thread the other day (must have been bored) and people were complaining about their qualifying group.

Greece just a horrible, horrible football team.

And they're a ****ing jammy one too.

 

[GIMH]

I remember being miffed before the 94 WC when we hammered Greece 5-0 yet they were going the WC and we weren't.

Still bitter about not qualifying in 94 tbh

Stupid red card but the guy rolling on the floor was pretty disgraceful. He was on his feet for about 5 seconds after the guy initially kicked out.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Red cards rarely have anything to do with anyone being genuinely hurt though. Was an obvious red just because of the intent. Diving in that case bothers me less than when there's no malice from the offending player at all.

TBF neither of these teams are any good, and if South Korea play anywhere near the level they have in their first two matches they should beat Nigeria and we can be rid of both of them.

Agree with this, although I think there is a grey area somewhere in between

Greece just a horrible, horrible football team.

They're a muscular uncreative defensive team who can't even defend. At least the Swiss look organized. Greek keeper is garbage too.

 

[GIMH]

Sort of team Sam Allardyce would manage

Now that took missing.

 

[GIMH]

It was like the sort of shot you do when you know you're offside and cbf

 

[BoyBrumby]

Now that took missing.

Should've at least put his laces thru it. To side foot it and miss is just woeful.

Meanwhile, comms here have just informed us Papadopoulos is an Aussie by birth. As if we needed another reason to hate Greece.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Fair effort. Save of the WC so far there.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, not too shabby

Been a good game this

 

[_Ed_]

Haha, just put some more money on Greece at $2.40 on the NZ TAB about 30 seconds before that goal. Chuffed with that timing.

And then he ruins it with that.
