Semi Finals

[aaho]

@GoldenAsif

I want to see open attacking football which presently only the Brazilians, Argentininas (ok they defended shambolically against Germany cf. England) and Germans (ok they were not at their best today) are good at

Do you remember the 1990 World Cup Hocke Final match between Pakistan and Holland in Lahore which we lost 1-3. Pakistan lost despite playing beautiful attacking hockey and dominating play. Almost 70% of the game was played in the dutch half but Shahbaz and co. somehow just could not penetrate their defence. Bovelander on the otherhand scored all three goals on penalty corners.

So as far as I am concerned scoring goals thru:

• penalty corners in hockey or
• corners, free-kicks or headers etc. in football

(ok it does require skill but it) is like entering a room thru the back door

@GoldenAsif:
I think the other team also have same options in game. You can only say this if these option were forbidden to them (somehow).

As said My First fav team was Argentina and 2nd was Spain from start of the WC.

They really trashed Argentina but you know what happened with Argentina after Germany scored first goal, they lost their hopes and their will to score.
