pretty pathetic imho. bleh.
Yea man, not the way you want to go out but to be fair there were no other categories left to judge by. You really want to take matters into your own hands and get the result (tie wouldve done it).
I really wanted African representation in the next round but it wasnt meant to be. Nigera especially i thought had the talent to make a run. The thing is they were also very young and inexperience hurts in key moments. The traditional powerhouse European and South American teams just have that extra edge in key games. They know when to foul, waste time, slow the game down, kill the game, etc. It sort of reminds of how good experienced boxers (ie floyd) clinch at the right times, preserve energy, and just generally keep the bigger picture in mind.
great points at the end!
i personally hate the flopping/time wasting, i think most people do, but you definitely can see the "skill" in some of it when used to slow the game down/run the clock out. hah.
some of those cards were complete bullshit too.
