Yeah...and after today, another coach name Otto will be one of the most sought after....

[Franq]

-------------v.d Sar-----------

Puyol-Andrade-Nesta-Zambrotta

---Sneijder--Seedorf--Davids---

v.d Meyde----Ruud------Robben



In other words, the Dutch team, with their weakness, defence, improved.

ps. Did you see Zambrotta play?! I was really impressed with him, covered the whole left flank when necessary and was still able to track back and defend the righ winger of the opponent!!!

EDIT: i was already typing this post, including the Zambrotta remark, before i saw Suedesi's post with Zambrotta as leftback already..

Who is the coach of the tournament so far then??

Sven

Well the Portugese coach deserves a bit of credit for pulling things around and for what appears to be an inspired substitution bringing on Nuno Gomes.

Interesting mention this Puyol, the Spanish newspaper Marca today pointed out that Putol was one of their weaknesses in the tournament, he is the player who has conceeded most freekicks against him in the entire tournament. Personally I think he has been alright, atleast going forward.

I'd agree with Marca, especially last night.

Robben on the right?

 

[vijay]

Robben on the right?

Its all about accomodating the best the players in the tournament so far irrespective of the postion.

OK... But I'd have been tempted to put Ronaldo on the right and Robben on the left in your XI. You've still got the 11 best players in your opinion but Robben is in his more comfortable position, while Ronaldo is in one of his usual positions.

 

[giggzy]

He's only played one game. Robben that is.

No doubt you'll all be calling him crap, if he's shite in the next one.

It's like that on here.

Whether you agree or not Robben is truly a great player in making. When he was running the show all the Czech's could do was to sit back and defend.We have really missed him.

 

[B20]

Good call, Boring...

You might be the only one to have noticed that the MIGHTY Danes are the only with a total clean sheet

which is why I am surprised no one has Laursen in there, who'se been immense. Helveg has been impressive as well.

Buffon
Ferrara-Laursen-Carvalho-Zambrotta
Rosicky-Viera-Nedved-Vicente
Baros-Larsson

 

[Alek M]

Iteresting to notice certain bias.

Lot of people on this board had a crazy affection about Nesta, and he is always included in the any kind og XI picking no matter how bad he is. I think he had a terrible game against sweeden, slipping and sliding all day long. Canavaro was quite solid at the back compared to Nesta.

Sounds like the approach Sven uses to draws up his matchday lineup.

Do you mean Ferreira, the Portuguese player Chelsea's bought, who had such a shocker against Greece that he has not been seen since that game?

Anders, yet again your proving to be a great judge of a player

It's like that on here.

Should we pick the best XI by the match the player has played? Or do we need to consider "he may be crap in the NEXT match" before we picked a player?
