Russia looked good. Why can't Arshavin play like that for the Gunners? Dutch and the Germans should both get results today.

Yeah, great performance by Russia, they play some really attractive football. Arshavin hasn't played well for Arsenal in a loooong time. I'm an Arsenal fan and I was so happy when they first bought him. He did start off well too but in the last year and a half to two years his performances has been going down hill.

What are you crazy Euro-trash people on about?? =P

I think it's okay to talk about soccer in one thread when there's a whole section dedicated to that redneck shït that you call professional wrestling

my brother has been to a few games and he reckons that Arshavin works very very hard but Arsenal a) play him slightly out of position as a winger (he needs more freedom to roam) and b) there is no one in the box when he puts a cross in.

This exactly. Arsenal handcuff him by sticking him on the left wing, and not letting him venture into the middle much, and definitely not switching the field to the right where he could be more of a scoring threat, comparable to the likes of a Robben for Bayern. Arshavin is an excellent player. I just dont think the gunners take enough investment in his abilities, which is suppose is why they loaned him away to Zenit to finish off this past season

Watching Holland vs Denmark and Holland after squandering many shots are down 1 nill at half time

[spasgur]

Bwahahahaha I certainly didn't see THAT coming

[dwarfofdoom]

Well done Denmark. The Dutch were very poor after going a goal down.

[JC-Freakhead]

Very nice, Denmark! A pretty good game too. Germany Vs Portugal is boring me though.

i have a question about soccer leagues. how do they have all these separate tournaments? or are they separate from each other? and is it true that orgs/teams from the european leagues lend out their players to MLS teams?? if so, how and why do they do that?? wouldn't injury be a huge fear? also, are the rules and field dimensions different from european soccer leagues to that of the world cup?
