Had to be Gervinho. That guy's turned into Ivorian Messi since he left Arsenal.

Too much power and pace by Ivory Coast against Japan.

Why the hell Drogba was on the bench ?
He was injured or something ?

Just start to watch the game now.

At his age I suspect they want to keep him rested and use him as a supersub; the heat would be a bit much I'm guessing.

i just wonder, what would the game look like without offsides...?

Gervinho was in shambles when he was in Arsenal after he missed that penalty in the African Cup of Nations or whatever it's called. He's better now, but he wouldn't be like this even if he stayed. Playing at Roma instilled some confidence in him plus I've heard that he does better there because he has a bit more time on the ball. As well I think he plays right wing at Roma instead of the left wing he did at Arsenal.

Berbatov would be just waiting in the penalty box the entire game if that happened.

eh its mostly that Serie A is much slower than the EPL so his pace is killer. plus yeah the confidence is everything, he had absolutely none at arsenal and that would make any player look bad.

its pretty big that hes comfortable with rudi too.

I feel a bit for Japan here, besides those couple minutes I think they defended very well for the most part.

honda's passing is pretty bad

Doormatt · Post #140 » by **Doormatt** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 2:44 am
