I think the best match till date has been Between Germany and Algeria....overall i think this world cup has not seen any spectacular performance ...even the best have failed to be very impressive.

 

What do you guys think about this world cup till now??

I think its been better than the 2010 WC, but 2006 was better. The group stages were great, but all teams have been overcautious in the knock-outs.

 

I think the best WCs will always be the ones played in Europe simply because of the weather and all the American and African players play their club football there anyway, so there's no problems with getting used to the environment.

Group matches were great but KOs have been underwhelming so far. BRACOL match was the only exception but for the wrong reasons. I'm guessing the last 3 games will see fireworks again now that the 'underdogs' are all out.

He wasn't guessing. He actually waited to see which way the ball was going. That's why the ones he saved were the ones that weren't directed into the corners.

 

I've always wondered why more goalkeepers don't do this. Puts more pressure on players to find the corner.

 

Precisely because of this -

 

 

"That's why the ones he saved were the ones that weren't directed into the corners."

 

Waiting for the ball makes the keeper slow vis a vis the incoming ball. Yes, thinking about it para-match, it makes more sense probably to wait, but pressure gets you. Keepers would want to get the first movement as on face value it gives them time to catch up with the ball even if it's in the corner, providing it is shot at their diving direction.

So for a single penalty you'd need a gk who dives early and has great reflexes Say when someone like balo/lambert or any other penalty specialist would take a perfect pen and incase of a shootout not many spot kick takers are specialists , so krul's logic worked...?

Four matches to go. 3rd place match will be on Saturday night.

 

I expect a Germany vs Netherlands final with Germany winning.
