soccer world cup 2014

[Stormer0628]

i thought sanchez cut a lonely figure trying to bring the ball to the danger area, alone. wala tulong sa iba. so ayun, naaagawan lagi ng bola, and monaco was quick to bring the ball to arsenal's goal. flat-footed masyado laro ng arsenal. ung second and third goal ng monaco halos magkahawig, walang tao sa defense.

on paper arsenal should do it with the kind of active players it can command now. also, wtf, i thought naging magkahawig bigla si wenger tsaka si pellegrini, hehe.

 

[kapeesh143]

lolz...hahaha.. magkamukha nga...nagkukulobot na...kakaproblema kung ano talaga ang tamang tactics...

 

[Stormer0628]

hehe...which reminds me, marami na ring coaches ang nasa retirable age. problem is there are few promising coaches on the way up to replace them. i'd like to see how zidane manages to do it once he's in the first team, hehe. baka player na i-headbutt nya pag matigas ulo, hahaha.

 

[kapeesh143]

lol...zidane..iconic headbut...every worldcup may mga antics talaga na naiiwan..pero grabe itong 2014 WC.. from coach of argentina who almost collapse, suarez biting..mexicans coach reaction...van persie's flying dutchee!..7-1 Never forget ..tim howards 15+ saves..lolzz..dami pa..nag enjoy ako ngayong WC...sana ganun din sa Russia kaso..lugi na naman mga taga South Americans-Africans-Asian dun..sobrang lamig na WC sa Russia..

 

[Stormer0628]

right. at mas na-appreciate ko sana ang lahat ng yan kung nanalo argentina. aaarggh! despite the carnival atmosphere of 2014 WC, that one loss really leaves a bad taste in the mouth that only a redemption in russia could eviscerate, nyahaha. sana si pep ang pinalit na coach, ndi si tata. oh well...

dagdag pa eh super-racist pa man din tong mga russians.

 

[kapeesh143]

uu mga racist nga yan...neo-nazi mentality....hahah ako din gusto ko din si messi magka WC kahit Die Mannshaft fan ako..para GOAT na sya..di tulad ni pele na puro salita lang..2 WC lang naman sya...yung 1st di sya nakalaro..at yung record nya ng goal scored sa brazillian football lang..wala european experience......

wag muna tayo sa WC 2018..sa 2016 Euro muna tayo at sa 2016 Copa Centenario..kakaexcite..

 

[Stormer0628]

true about pele. i've always looked up to him, but now i realize palaruin mo yan sa panahon na to swerte na makuha nya kalahati ng all-around stats ni messi, hehe. si maradonna minsan duda rin ako na deep inside ayaw nya mag-succeed si messi, para lang di siya maungusan sa records and treatment ng argentines. tao nga naman.

euro 2016, yehey!! hehe. yung events pa sa south america.

 

[kapeesh143]

back in there era hindi pa ganun ka pulido ang laro..walang maxadong focus on defense...tackles techniques etc....at yung playing pitch nila noon kahit ano pwede..pfft!....

in this modern era..all part of the field at positions ay in focus..kaya yung gameplay standards mataas...at yung dalawang halimaw na si Cron-Messi ...both of them trying to push each other....eh yung panahon nila walang maxadong rivals sila....ibat ibang era ...itong si pele ni hindi nga nya mabigyan ng recognition yung mga teammates nya na halimaw...jairzinho,tostao,rivelino,gerson....

 

[Stormer0628]

yes. tsaka tingnan mo, nung 1962 nagchampion ang brazil team sa panahon ni pele kahit di siya naglaro. si garrincha ang humataw dun. but like cr7, gusto niya siya lagi bida, hehe. until now, many even in brazil consider garrincha better than pele, but nowadays the marketing geniuses have their ways, hehe.

di rin nakakatulong ang pagiging jerk ni pele in his old age. eh mano bang maging graceful man lang siya. but of course masaya din ang palitan nila ng asaran ni maradonna, equally a jerk in his own way. haha

 

[palitoliipii]

thanks ppoeh...

 

[kapeesh143]

hahaha... ive watched documentaries in all WC from 1950 to 2010..wala pang lumalabas na 2014 eh...kita ko dun yung frustration in maradona sa finals vs germany...si baggio din magaling nung 1994...pero yung spain 2010 grabe...ibang klase ang pag dominate nila sa mga teams...germany 2010 squad looks average..

i wonder sino kaya ang magiging talk of the world after messie/ronaldo?....yung mga young talent ngayon karamihan hilaw pa eh..kung icompare kina 19 year old messi and 19 year old ronaldo

 

[Stormer0628]

sana reverse kay maradonna ang mangyari naman kay messi: talo sa 2014 WC, panalo sa 2018, hehe. kung tutuusin di maganda yung nangyari kay maradonna patungo sa retirement niya. ganda ng panalo nila nung 1986, tapos masisilat sa 1990, hehe. scandalous pa yung exit nya nung WC 1994.

marami rin akong napanood na features ng mga past players. malakas ang recall nina romario, van basten, rivaldo, kasama na si baggio. sayang nga lang at di pumasok ang penalty niya against brazil nung WC 1994, of all possible time to miss a penalty. sayang at nasandwich sya sa panahon ng kalakasan nina maradonna, zidane, ronaldo.

neymar's style of play has the makings of cr7, so may chance siya na pantayan or ungusan ang records ng portuguese ronaldo. si messi is another matter altogether. masyadong mahirap habulin ang records niya, not to mention his consistency, comprehensive style of play, and overall influence in pitch play. yung mga sinasabi kay garrincha, pele, maradonna, zidane, nakukuha niya, at ngayon pati kay stefano kinucompare sya dahil sa tendency niya these days to play in all parts of the field, in all positions. pag may player na nasa caliber nila, lalo na si messi, i'm sure we'll hear of it very fast, hehe. sa current crop of young players, kahit pa galing ng la masia, parang wala. ang mga talent kase gaya nila parang kabute bigla na lang lilitaw, haha.

 

[kapeesh143]

worth it investment na barcelona is messi...10 year old na may sakit..nag take na risk ang barca and now they're enjoying the fruit of those risk...

sa panahon kasi ngayong 10 year old na nag showboat i hahype agad..kaya nagkakaroon na pressure sa mga bata na magperform at boom biglang magiging failure...nakita ko si sterling may talent pero sa hype nakakaroon ng pressure sa player gaya nang nangyari kay rooney kaya waley sa 2006 at 20010 WC..

sa modern era of football fast pace na kasi...pag naka score ka ng 30+score sa domestic competition parang mga bwitre ang mga big clubs..na magpopounce sayo...lolz...and at that level kung young age pa yung player..ang laki agad nang responsibility...maganda sana kung ikaw ay nag stick to one club at dun mo naimprove ang laro mo under the guidance of veterans..gaya ni messi..

 

[Stormer0628]

eh tingnan mo naman ginagawa ng media pag may promising young talent kahit san eh nililabel agad na "new messi." then what happens, the talent either ends in a mess or anonymity, haha.

ang kaigihan ng la masia eh shielded ang young players sa hype ng media and other influences from the outside world. sa setting niya pa lang na parang rural farm at pag-iencourage ng level-headedness sa players eh malaking bagay na sa maturity ng players later on. si deulofeu eh tinuturing na isang aberration kase may pagka cr7 agad ang mentality wala pang nararating, hehe. pasalamat na lang ang mga kagaya niya eh laging exception to the rule sa la masia. palagay ko isang bagay din yung mga magulang ng bata na yun, parang nangyari di kay bojan.

naku, sa nangyayari pa ngayon na daming oil money at ibang asian billionaires na kursunadang bumili at magfinance ng european teams and big players, asahan mo na lalong gugulo ang team rosters. on the other hand, parang nagkaron din ng magandang effect to sa ibang teams, steeling the young ones to find noble principles and stick their guns to the teams that nurtured them in the first place. ironic di ba.

yari ang real madrid kanina, draw sa villareal. which makes me think: dami na tlgang nagkalat na players galing sa la masia all over europe that it invites the thought that they could be the 12th man for barca on regionwide competitions. haha. sa villareal lang yung dos santos brothers, at ang short rondo passing nila showcases a lot of la masia dna.

 

[kapeesh143]

cruyff started it all...la masia...total football and ni-level up ni pep to tiki-taka....dami nga gumagaya ng blueprint ng lamasia..kung paano nila dinidevelop ang mga players...yung gameplay ng spain back in their hightimes..ay barcelona-like at yung mga taga madrid ang nagaadjust ..its more like barcelona give the 2 euros and Wc to spain...

deulofeu is good back in everton..but how can he break-in in barcelona's unlimited midfield talent...

on other note..ano ang stand mo sa independence pursuit ng catalans?....new country as catalonia?...

 

[Stormer0628]

all true. barca dna is all about cruyff and holland's total football, brought to perfection by pep. tagal din na walang sagot ang buong europe, if not buong mundo, sa all-conquering barca ni pep. ang dami ko nabasa nun na humorous articles about how the other european clubs and coaches are conducting overt and covert meetings to stop the barca menace. hahaha. and yes, the spain squad that took home two back-to-back euros and WC was mostly barca in composition and style, culminating in that iniesta goal in the finals.

tinulak ng barca ang competition para malampasan ang tiki-taka, with varying results. si mourinho sa real madrid sinacrifice ang attack at quality ng players, parking the bus in front of their goal. si perez at traditional madridistas bwiset kay mourinho, abomination at insulting daw sa status ng RM ang style niya, hehe. in the end, lightning counter-attack ang nakita na solusyon sa tiki-taka, at tight pressing sa midfield, kung saan nakasandal ang tiki-taka system. nahirapan din ang barca at si pep sa panahon na to na sila lang ang ginawang focus at reference ng ibang teams. natawa ako pati swansea naging barca wannabe, haha. at ang mga tao ng barca niraid ng maraming teams, una na ang manchester city. nung naghirap na ang barca lalo na ng umalis si pep, naging pangunahing goal ang paghanap naman ng solusyon sa bus at midfield press. malas lang ni tata kulang siya sa support para kumuha ng player sa project niya, which cannot be said kay enrique ngayon, na kung tutuusin eh hawig lang ng vision ni tata ang gusto niya: include fast counter-attack in the whole tiki-taka, possession play. ang kapuna-puna eh yung RM did the reverse: include the same possession, almost tiki-taka style to their counter attack. ang resulta kung titingnan mo ang play nila halos hawig na, lalo na kung andiyan si modric. confluence ang nangyari sa barca/RM in the end. ang kalamangan lang ng barca eh mas komportable sa possession talaga, dagdag pa ang vision ngayon ni rakitic. then of course ang frontmen ng barca, which appear deadlier at this point.

ang inaantay ng barca madevelop ni deulofeu yung kahit konting team vision nina iniesta or messi. ilang beses kase sa senior at segunda club di niya tinitingnan ang ibang teammates niya during critical moments. si tello ang nagulat ako naka hat-trick sa huling game ng porto vs. sporting sa portugal. di ko lang alam kung signal na ba to ng kanyang pagbabalik, hehe.

masyadong tricky para sakin ang issue ng catalunya bilang hiwalay na bansa apart from spain. i know the historical divide of barcelona and madrid, especially during franco's reign of terror, has a lot to do with it. sa isang banda naman, parang ang hirap isipin na pag binanggit mo na spain eh wala na ang barcelona, hehe. at pag kumalas ng husto ang barcelona, pano pa ang basque regions, etc? di ba? sa league naman, haharapin nila ang tanong kung sang liga sila mapupunta, although may precedent ang nangyari sa andorra, that small principality sandwiched between spain and france. magulo.... hahaha

 

[kapeesh143]

tricky talaga sa disputes...kaya nga pag el clasico halo-halo na ..politics.wealth,rivalry,football supremacy...daming nangyayari....

its like this... 2008-2012 .. tiki-taka best football
2012-2013 counter attacking ..ex. Bayern vs barca semis..
2013-2015 counter pressing and attacking ... both madrids... and best example is madrid vs bayern..nga-nga ako nung 1st leg nila..mukang mga bata musmus yung madrid ..sa first 15 minutes ng laban nila vs bayern.. tapos lucky at nakakuha sila ng 1-0 1st leg win...at dun nila nai-apply ang counter-attack 2.0 sa bayern for 5-0..

pag pina-follow mo yung isang club..nakakaemotional talaga pag yung mga players ng fave mo ay past their prime..and going to retirement period...
xavi and iniesta dont deserve the group stage exit in WC... its so pleasant in the eyes watching them dominate teams after teams... sarap panuorin noon ang barca...yung mga mini triangles against world class defenders...back pass magic ni iniesta..xavi control and vision noon..grabe..twice nakalaban ng arsenal ang barca sa ucl...both playing attractive football...ganda manuod...hahah...back when cesc is with us...2-1 ARSHAAVIIN.....lolzz.
i missed the invicibles..henry ..bergkamp..pires..
kaya ganun talaga...magreretire talaga mga players na nagbigay ng glory sa team...but still just support the team through transitions,hightimes,lowest points of their game...

 

[Stormer0628]

...hanggang ngayon di pa ata nakakarecover si pep sa pagkatalo ng bayern sa RM, hehe. i wonder what's on his mind, as well as many fans and neutrals, about the current form and ascendancy of barca, with chance for him to meet barca in the latter stages of this UCL....

it's really sad to see xavi fading in this year's liga. masama pa parang nanganganib din si iniesta. di mo malaman kung masyado naset ang ways nila sa older tiki-taka at parang slow sila makapag-adjust sa direct play ni enrique. dapat ginagaya nila si pirlo at totti sa juventus at roma, respectively, aging with grace, hehe. si messi pa ang mukhang di mahihirapan sa transition to old age ang nangyayari. sa current la masia pa naman eh walang lumilitaw na ready pumalit kina xavi at iniesta, reason why barca is going crazy about signing the likes of koke, pogba, or anyone else.

after ng invincibles parang masyadong abrupt ang pagbulusok ng arsenal. di man lang smooth transition... really testing for you and other fans of the team, hehe.

ang nakakatuwa si ronaldinho. at least after ng legacy niya sa barca, nakikita niya ang nangyayari sa team na iniwan niya. and boy, can that guy party and love life like there is no tomorrow!! hehe

pasok finals barca sa copa del rey. bagsak ang espanyol sa athletic bilbao. hirap talaga pabagsakin ng athletic sa san mames stadium. these basques are also teaching other teams to be naughty: like yung granada pala sinadya di padiligan yung stadium nila before their game against barca. tingnan ko ano mangyari sa RM on their approaching visit there, hehe.

all the big guns won their games over at the premier league. muntik lang masilat ang man united.

 

[kapeesh143]

para makagawa ng team that can contend for WC and international supremacy...yung players ay naglalaro nang magkakasama...like FC Barcelona's core in 2008-2012.... and now FC Bayern core in 2014..
lolz.. i've just watch Die Mannshaft Official film of WC 2014.. you cannot win a WC with an individual talents alone..


wow...the performance of Barca is really in form...watch out madrid....

and did you watch FEU vs DLSU Finals UAAP Football...what a game..what aaa game...

 

[Stormer0628]

...palagay ko yan din nasa isip ng spain kaya pinagdidikit ang style ng barca at RM... sa germany mas full-blown ang orchestrated approach, dahil pinapacoordinate lahat ng youth development activities ng iba-ibang teams para mapailalim sa national team goals. eto ang development na dapat bantayan ng south american powerhouses, since their individual talents will now mostly appear as disjointed during WC competitions. on the other hand, this very idea smacks of being an anathema to free-flowing futbol by those nations, esp. brazil. oh well....

sulit na sulit panalo ng barca kagabi...aga pa pinalabas. can't shake that crazy rhyme some barca fanatics posted, to the tune of "jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way... oh what fun it is to see real madrid fall along the way..." fun, but opens to a lot of heartaches if results at the end of the season/competition do not meet expectations...parang mga laro ni nadal lately...hehe

just saw the headlines about the feu defense of uaap football crown. geez, kala ko pa naman aabante sina valmayor...wala rin pala.... can't have it all...haha
