the sad part is otto thinks the world is black and white, and either you play offensive :kaka, messi" style or you play ten guys in the back....

italy has been playing defensively for ages...swiss have not conceded a goal in decades, slovenia needs a goal they get it, etcetcetc

did the 04 team play "attractive football?" when needed a gaol they got it....there is ahuge difference between what this team lacks (which is the ABILITY to chase the game if they have to) and what it needs.

otto has killed their spirit by imposing this defensive scheme without

A N Y considerqtrion or flexibilty to be able to adjust and play more aggresively when they need to score.....conversely, if we eat one then, by otto's logic, we are dead....

offensive soccer does not mean freewheeeling, open open play..it means noticing open spaces, off the ball tactics, clever runs where the openings exist......you dont need fantastic dribbling skills or messi/ronaldo type magic - you simply need players who are smart, oppotunistic, heads in the game,.... samaras in ukraine was a perfect example - but why did it happen? instantneous communication between him and salpi - he knew samara would see him and make the play....when the team and the forwards know that midfield is nowwhere to be found, why will they even attempt any thing?

otto has to go.....even if they win today, he still has to go....u cant play international soccer and be able to get a shot on goal......he ignores this alltogether..

Embarssing......im watching the British Broadcast ITV.......they literally had nothing good to say, they all ripped into the team....Its a total humiliation of a tournament........

Honestly......can they at least play for PRIDE?! i mean its not even about basics like success, patriotism.......just personal pride in your embarassing team and stupid comments....at least...

drak, agreed...on given team can beat anyone on any given day....socccer lends itself to imposing your physical will on the game...thats what boggled my mind about the tsitsifionges koreans....we needed to let them know right away they in a game with abunc of MEN - and they would pay dearly for anything even close to our goal....so what happens?" he leaves out the one guy that can do that, and then we are more concerned about a nice handshake.....

Update; Katsouranis cant play football

I'm a little shocked in a good way that Otto benched Charisteas. Can't believe Vyntra's playing though.

Vyntra is an RB RM.....Not too shocked to see him still have faith....

Katsouranis shoots from 50 metres.....Moron. Nobody can pass, the effort is at least better so far.

2 way traffic so far. Not a bad thing from our perspective
