South Korea is a decent NT and Algeria isn't abysmal, you know. Plus, neither one of them is very defensive, like (for instance) Greece, so the match might be entertaining.

Arroto 1,098 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Re: Official World Cup 2014 Thread Demoloshing Ireland right now, back to the 433 after experiments in the previous trial matches. William Meireles and Amorim looking very fluid in midfield and Neto with a great game so far in defence. Not pressing very high on the Irish inviting them in, so this should be already the model for the WC games Edit: Moutinho is playing in midfield, not Amorim. Amorim is the RB and is also looking superb with Varela on the flank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
