i thought changing formations doesnt mean anything since they are professional players and have no problems adapting.

I didn't say they failed to adapt to the formation did I? What I'm saying is that the 4-3-3 isn't right for the US squad and the friendly showed it. Arena likes to play around with formations in friendlies to see what works and what doesn't. The 4-3-3 doesn't work.Originally posted by Lawrence of Arabia

Pre-world cup friendly results are meaningless. They are normally even more lackluster than normal friendlies because none of the players wants to get injured.
The US does have a very tough group though.
27,000 is a great size for a football stadium. Better to have sell-outs and people desperately trying to get tickets for big games than have a consistently 1/3 empty stadium.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

For those interested....I found the BBC are doing a stock exchange on the World Cup. I thought it might warrant a separate thread.

It seems Pires changed his mind again and went to Villereal after all.

What do you expect from a Frenchie?

Entirely OT, but I don't think starting a thread on this would get many replies.
Sri Lanka's secret weapon, Malinga (the Slinga), seems to have a particularly questionable action to say the least. Is he a chucker?
Er, about footie, what time does the England "B" game kick off?Comment

What's a chucker?Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

Someone who chucks (throws) the ball - that is, doesn't bowl with a proper action. For fast bowlers, the action is supposed to involve the forearm practically brushing the ear, with the arm extended upwards, and while spinners are allowed a little leeway with this, Malinga's action seems to involve the arm at a 45 degree angle between head and shoulder - a definite no-no.Originally posted by alva

I don't care about England, although I wouldn't have minded watching the match because I love footie in all its forms. Sadly, I don't have council-house telly.Comment

I highly recommend watching the first Belarus goal to anyone who hasn't seen it.
Robert Green was taking a goal kick, scuffed it and fell over with a serious injury. If it wasn't so funny it would have been tragic. Anywho, the fair playing Belarussian decided that he should score a goal while the keeper was down writhing in agony rather than actually kick the ball out.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment
