Thema: [NT] World Cup

borkos007 congratulations! im sorry for my friend snikolov but seems you dominated the game good luck!

Yep, we have a lot of luck in this match, but the result is 0-1

I'm not crying, I'm still playing:)

But it's ridiculous, you didn't deserve to go through, just got lucky because of the handicap. It's the worst part of the match engine.

@Sviktorov
Thank you :)
The first half was controlled by Germany, second half was much closer.
We had some luck with 1st goal when our winger decided to shoot, but on the other hand we also missed some good situations.
Definitely a good game and tournament from Snnikolov. Czech Republic had less chances to score, but missed 2 very good ones.

i was talking about Deutschland - Česká republika 2:0 :)

amazed by scoring ratio of Italy

What a bullshit goal to decide the game. In my tactic all the defenders are in the same line but now when Croatia had a throw in the defender closest to the ball was way below the rest of the line, leaving all three Croatian attackers wide open close to the goal, as rest of the defensive line was much higher. Sucks to lose due to a bug after such a thriller.

Moldova :)))))))

Yes, it's one of the biggest problems with very high line, but it is possible to counter that so it doesn't happen, I managed to do it with trial and error during last season, when I also presented many goals/situations this way...

I agree though that it's extremely frustrating because it doesn't make sense, same with offsides when all defenders are place very high and one goes 30m down to make the offside kick and messes up the whole offside line...

But it was close to my goal. And the defenders are all in the same line, I went immediately to check my tactic that have I messed it up. I know it happens close to the midfield but such stupid situation I've never seen in my life.

e: To be honest, haven't watched too many matches in the past years.. :D

some times i feel game gives such throws offsides or fouls intentionally :( its really frustrating agree

yup, I once had such offside that the defender came back 30m and the opponent's ATT was standing right in front of the ball. the defender just kicked the ball to him, 1v1 and goal :))

Hmm in first half we had a chance 1vs1 and i dont remember 1 chance for Germany, only some shoots with had but nothing special. Your first goal was lucky your winger pass the ball and my GK missed the ball. In second half i use winger and i lost the centre of the pitch. Second half was better for you but in first half i gave better chances. Good luck in next round:)

Actually that was a shot from the winger. I was angry at this action, because Andres had better options to pass (2 ATT ready for cross or low pass) and instead passed to winger who run into middle. And then the winger instead of passing, decided to shoot and the GK messed up. I agree that it was a lucky goal.

As for other part - I think we're looking at the game in a different way, in first half I felt more in control, yes you got the 1v1 but it was a "one off" action when my side defender moved out of position and opened the space. I think I analyse the game in a bit different way, concentrating on things that repeat themselves and are direct result of tactics. That's why - in my opinion - in 2nd half with different tactic you were actually more problematic, because there were actions that repeated and were result of positioning on the field. Difference was that for example your ATT lost the ball when running towards my goal, if he won the dribble he would have a 1v1 as well etc. :)

I looking on how many real chances we had. I had 2 chances 1on1 but in first my ATT shot from a distance. You have 3 shoots with had and 1 of them dangerous and one more shoot out of box. You was a little bit better than me in this match but I think that i don't deserve to loosing after first half and this was reason to change my tactic. You are favourite for gold and i wish you good luck:)
