I'm just messing with you, bones. but parking the bus is a strategic approach, crowding the box because you have 8-9 guys attacking out of necessity isn't quite the same thing.

like right now, brazil isn't parking the bus

edit: thanks a lot wanta, look what you've done.

Gotcha

Italy's opening goal against England.

How did we forget that? That was really a lovely goal.

It seems the matches are timed well for Brits, Americans and Aussies so we should be hitting triple digits on this thread comfortably.

oh yeah. point is, you almost never see those work.

The games start at 2am, 5am, and 8am here...

Oh, then you and Jose

The amount of times short corners are stopped by the first defender that comes to the ball is so frustrating. Same with corners that are put straight in and cleared by the first defender.

Corners are low percentage, short or normal.

but crosses into the box have to be a surer way...

I finished my final exam for the semester the day before the opening match, so I'm on Uni break for 6 weeks anyway. I haven't gotten up for a 2am match yet but Australia and Italy's next two matches are both at 2am. 8am isn't too bad and I'll get up for a good 5am match.

If the game stopped now we'd have our man of the match quite comfortably.
