Fark Rebecca Wilson - Soccer in a sad, sad state

[Bex]

As is proven by Adelaides results in the Final - and the background that means they needn't be ashamed of such a result - this debate is not about the lopsided score in a final; its about publishing lies to fulfill a premeditated agenda.

EXACTLY.

 

[Kareem]

besides 5-0 over TWO games is even more understandable!
Especially with the courageous nature of Vidmar!
He could have kept em at bay I think in 2nd leg- but wats the point- he went for the goals- they ddint get em and let 2 more in- but any half decent coach would have done the same

 

[The Umina Whiner]

Don't paint RL with her nasty brush... RL fans have long known she is an idiot. She is a classic shock jock and she is doing her job well. But her articles deserve nothing more than a laugh by anyone with brains.

 

[serious14]

I would be shocked to see any of the top 4 teams in the world of football with a scoreline more than 3-0!
Brazil, Netherlands, Spain, Argentina

And this again just reinforces why her logic is just flat out wrong.  Argentina beat Brazil 3-0 in the semi's at the Olympics (shit result, great night in the crowd  ;D), so does that mean that Brazil is a ginormagantuan failure at football and should just give up and that youth football in Brazil is in a state of disrepair??

_HOW_ is this garbage allowed to be printed??  Surely there's some sort of libel involved??  If Buckley had ever written such rubbish about the NRL (not that he would, the man has a decorum of class), there'd be hell to pay and it would be a back page story for weeks.  As is his _edited_ reply gets buried in the sports section 2 days later.  POOR FORM!!!!!

A better analogy would be Brazil playing Scotland or Wales in a WC game. Better than 3-0...........yup.

ps - Holland are not a top 4 team but never mind Rebecca

[Bear]

Coming from someone with a Dutch backround here....

You have to be kidding, right?

I dont rate Germany as of late...
not to mention I didnt mean ranking wise- i meant football wise
+ 1 bout Russia- thats quite surpising- but they played awesome under Hiddink

 

[bjw]

England and Portugal are tied, btw

 

[Bear]

Holland = overrated IMO

To many diving f**kwits like Robin Van and Robben, and we all know they choke harder than Adelaide at the drop of a hat

 

[Kareem]

wow u r more deluded than I thought...

 

[Bear]

What am I deluded about? That they choke, dive or both?

[neverwozza]

Les getting a bit personal  - ouch!!

My parting advice to Rebecca is this: With your looks, your leathery face and ironed-on hair, not to say your god awful nasal twang, try not to spend 16 days of the next televised Olympics sitting beside the ravishing Sonia Kruger. Not good for the career.

I'm 50% dutch and a big fan of the KNVB , ORANJE, ORANJE...etc etc....and i gottta agree with Bear on this.....most dutchies i know think the diving has got WAY outta f'n hand...but thats another thread

 

[Auburn Mariner]

It gives me GREAT pleasure to say this, Kareem:

YOU ARE PLAIN WRONG about the Dutch.

I TOTALLY support the Bear & Recky here. So much promise from Holland, and THEY NEVER WIN!!

The same could have been said about the Spanish, not any more.

Holland are great to watch, but if you back your HOUSE on any European teams, it comes back to the Germans and Italians on most occasions.

Kareem, you have the opportunity to check International football on the Net. DO SOME RESEARCH. Go find where Holland has won a clutch game. A word of advice, be careful about sweeping comments on here. There are people that know a HELLUVA lot more about football than you and me. You will continue to get eviscerated until you learn this.
