He did very well in that game, scored two goals and assisted the 4th, and also helped alot getting the mid-court from the Nigerians.<br /><br />On the other hand, Nigeria, as excepted, were only trying to get the ball to their point striker. However, there were always a Greek defender behind him, and their defensive mid-fielder, No. 20 most of the time, in front of him. They didn't let him get them ball.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877352591328171428.post-23959940253515960432011-04-04T15:45:52.640-06:002011-04-04T15:45:52.640-06:00Poland Canada will be flipping unreal.

Scotland...Gotta agree with a lot of what you said.<br /><br />Scotland is improved from last year (which is impressive considering they only have something like 5 guys that have ever even played in this tournament before...might as well be in with Sudan and Sierra Leone as the new teams)...if they were in any other group they might compete for a #3-4 finish (certainly not the worst team in the tournament), but they're in for a rough ride in this group...most teams would be in for a rough ride in this group. Hope they can tough it out and stay motivated and keep a core to build around for next year instead of starting over again.<br /><br />Norway didn't look as great as they can be, but for the first game, I'm sure they are working out the kinks...they didn't have very good turnouts for their pre-tourney matches, so it might take them a game or 2 to get into their top form. Fortunately they don't play ROI until the end, so they can build up to that game.<br /><br />Poland did everything they needed to do...shut down the German offense...clog up the middle and put pressure on the weaker German defense. Poland GK help keep the ball out of the goal whenever he was challenged.<br /><br />Greece/Nigeria - Nigeria was just ugly in that game...really bad mistakes (especially with the goalkeeping...handball...that soft near post goal from the free kick on the sidelines, etc). Greece just went out with hard work and persistancy to win that game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877352591328171428.post-10083990767839766552011-04-04T14:13:12.531-06:002011-04-04T14:13:12.531-06:00Greece just caught Nigeria off guard one of those ...Greece just caught Nigeria off guard one of those games u watch and say wow were did this come from. Nigeria need to block shots coz if they don't, they cant count on their goalie to save them, but will always support them coz i know they are a good team, what happened to German and Jamaica? these teams need to wake up the games began so wake up and play pls no more shockers i cant take it anymoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877352591328171428.post-4423744181803520012011-04-04T14:09:24.664-06:002011-04-04T14:09:24.664-06:00Where can u find out the broadcast schedule for th...Where can u find out the broadcast schedule for these games .johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877352591328171428.post-23342225123547373972011-04-04T14:00:47.508-06:002011-04-04T14:00:47.508-06:00So you now put Afghan over Greece for 2nd place?
