Tunisia have been dreadful in the second half. Ukraine will take heart from this game.

Hey, I'm not saying he's a bad player (and not even taking this season into account) but is nowhere as good as he is made out to be.Originally posted by Cort Haus
Alva's being very harsh, but Owen has been injured all year, and is struggling a bit. He's given a lot more than 6 months good service, and is one of England's top scorers ever, but I doubt we'll ever see the pace he showed in '98 again.
He never made any progress, which might have been fine IF he would have kept his pace, which he hadn't.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?

I agree with you. The reason they dive is to get the exact result we saw. In this case not only a PK but a sending off. After that injustice we'll probably see some spectacular 'triple gainers' from the southern teams and the Dutch (He He He).Originally posted by Dauphin
I saw the humour, but I thought you were making a point as well.
We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

On the Owen-issue: At least he's not as fat as Ronaldo...

I was one of the few Liverpool fans who wasn't too bothered when Owen left (more money would have been nice though). A player who relies on acceleration as much as Owen does is only going one way when he reaches 25-26. He's still a good player, but not world class like he was in his early twenties.

Still, good recovery of the match after that dreadful first half.
