Copa America 2004

[__earth]

I personally think Copa america is boring.

But what's your pick?

[pandaboy]

I dont have a chance to watch it here in Malaysia, as I dont subsribe to Astro... :cry: :cry:

They should aired those matches(replay or live) on free channels as well.

But I personally feel that Copa America should be more interesting than Euro... because the players are more skillful?

[retroque]

copa america not interesting?boring?the reason is pretty obvious isnt it.>>we don't really know their players aside from brazilian n argentinian players.(and also paraguay roque santa cruz).

cabel tv....or normal tv kept showing epl,la liga,seria A..not much coverage on sout american football.


n i always wonder why....hmnn.owh...cant wait to see the new rising star of boca juniors....tevez.dub by some as the new maradona eh?

[__earth]

I say its boring because of thier playing style. They somehow emphasize on individual skill instead of teamwork.

Not that I do not like individual skill but for me,

attractive football = attacking football + teamwork

[pandaboy]

Hmm... I kinda agree with _earth too. Going through the whole match by merely defending is very very boring. Just like the Greece in Euro 2004. But individual skills are still much more entertaining. At least for me.. :wink: I like to see more of the dribbling skills by the players. As far as I know, South American players can dribble well.

haha ~~ i don't think copa is dull....
maybe it because there are too many soccer competition that were held every year....~~~

~~ haha yeap someone rated carlos tevez play like maradona huhu~~ i dunno ...he's a skillfull young lad.....i really mean it....VERY SKILLFULL ~~

but soccer is about team play ...~~huhu a team need a good manager rite?? .....~~

[Wan_G]

as 4 me...

i do like individual skill more than teamwork play...

it's more attractive ?? of course... !! huhu...

just look at england... they do not have players who are skillful-gifted player... that's y they also could'nt go too far in each competition...

beckham ? ekeke... just with his highly rated publicity... but not 2 much impressive on pitch...haha...

huhu~~ u can say that u like individual play ~~ but ....
team-work is vital ...~~

[Wan_G]

hurm..

i didn't say that teamwork is not vital laaa... huhu

teamwork is important... n the most important... but what i meant is... depend on the one n only TEAMWORK strategy is not good and exactly not impressive...

the attractive soccer is individual skill... apart from da teamwork..huhu..

that's my opinion laaa..

teamwork is important...but individual skills add flair to the game.a good example is the brazillian team.with good teamwork+skills they manage to open up chances of scoring goals.like the time when england was leading 1-0 in wc2002.

of course...u can still win with only teamwork..(like greece...urghh...).

but with individual skills,it increases ur probability of winning.

[pandaboy]

I think it's going to be Brazil vs Argentina for the finals.... :wink:

[__earth]

The argentine hates the dutch. therefore im with brazil all the way.

in fact, I'll support any team that is up against argentina

[pandaboy]

hohoho...i predicted correctly :wink:

[retroque]

yep pandaboy....u got it right.

btw,why do the argentinians hate the dutch?haven't heard of that before.

adriano-the new rising star of brazil.
