Angola vs Portugal

markoos · 06-11-2006, 09:59 PM

Just been watching the above game and wondering if Figo had a big target painted somewhere on him as about 4 or 5 times in a row he had the ball and an Angolan player would blooter him right off the ball-but also some of the moves he made were truly sublime,he really controlled the 2nd half for Portugal.

The African teams do seem to have superior fitness levels, and have adapted easily to the hot weather.

The games that I have enjoyed watching so far have had an African team involved. They aree skillful enough to compete but do not have the fear of failure as there is no expectation upon them, they are only happy to be at the World Cup.

They want to attack and show everyone how skillful they are, they knwo they are not good enough to win it so they plan to enjoy it.

Maybe England should play the same way.....

Angola played well, you can see they love being in the world cup. I think the hot weather might give african teams advantage on the pitch.

PLEASE EXPLAIN "BLOOTER"

African teams are great to watch from a neutral point of view as they play with reckless abondon. don't seem to be overly fussy about tactics which is refreshing.
