the bus was still parked very well. belgium just gave a lesson on how to cut through the parked bus.
Dude, you guys need not to have your minds pre-made up...
that post was about the first goal.
and if you will notice, belgium did the following:
1. few or NO LONG BALLS
2. Two tall guys for the algerian CBs to worry about.
2.5. The same two tall guys stayed in position, and so close to each other. see how that has confused algeria.
3. Crosses.
4. The less number of people waiting behind for belgium coaxed algeria into coming out more, spreading themselves out.
Re: Algeria 1 Belgium 2
Got to attack and they showed none of that
You have to be really lucky like the USA to produce a backs to the wall performance and not lose. I think one thing has been consistent in this tourney: Attacking teams win games

Re: Algeria 1 Belgium 0
Yup. Fast passing, fast counters. Of course, you have to assume the opponent will come out of the shell long enough for you to counter them but generally yes.Unisol wrote:Props to Belgium for the second goal. That is how to play a team whose game plan is to defend - Fast counter attacks.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: Algeria 1 Belgium 0
The fact they're losing 2-1 to a very good Belgium side does not negate the fact that I consider them to be the best African side I've seen on show so far in the WC.mmeny wrote:Orion wrote:The Belgium subs did the trick.

You can't make this ish up... Talk about speaking from both sides of your mouth....

All of a sudden they are no longer interested in winning anymore according to you after being the best African side in the WC and being down 1-2

Re: Algeria 1 Belgium 0
yep. I did. No national team parked bus in this world can be tactically disciplined enough not to try to run up in numbers if you coax them with space.opine wrote:did you see the goal?omonija wrote:Boom. I wanted africa to win here, but if only to prove that the right tactics will destroy any parked bus, i'm happy about the scoreline.

The first goal was off a long ball/cross...
They scored the second goal because Algeria foolishly came out of their shell and got caught out...
BTW, the coach brought in a tall guy who got to that header... just like ours got to the header but couldn't score... but inextricably we are daft and clueless on how to breakdown a parked bus because we couldn't score...
