Leaks coming out of the England camp confirm what many fans had prayed for all along – Sven’s ready to switch to a flexible 4-1-4-1 system. This is a move that could win England the World Cup. No, really. Stay with me!

Coming into the tournament as one of the favourites, England has largely disappointed with turgid performances and route one tactics. Michael Owen’s injury could be a blessing in disguise however, giving England the chance to compete on equal terms with almost every other nation in the tournament that deploy split strikers or five through the middle of the park.

Tactically England has got it wrong under Sven for some time now. With Owen and Rooney up front and Lampard and Gerrard in midfield, England is unbalanced. It’s a system that suits only Rooney – with Owen lacking a target-man play bazaar partner that he craves, and Lampard or Gerrard compromising their natural attacking instincts for the good of the team.

With Owen out England should bring in Carrick as a holding midfielder, releasing both Lampard and Gerrard to devastating effect in support of a lone front runner, Rooney. A 75% fit Rooney will find it considerably easier to play up front on his own than ‘in the hole’ – his normal position. He’s good enough, quick enough and strong enough to do it better than anybody.

A really bold move by Sven would be to inject some pace into the side, in the form of Aaron Lennon. Contrary to tabloid opinion Beckham has been effective – he is England’s leading assister at the tournament. But against Ecuador Sven could move Beckham into the right back slot, negating the principal risk of deploying one striker – that England gets entrenched in their own half. Lennon would ensure that won’t happen.

Mexico vs Argentina Leipzig

It will be a little bit tough but the stars are in favor of Argentina. Today, the stars of Argentina are placed at the shining position and giving them lots of support in comparison to Mexico. But Mexico will create hurdles for Argentina but at the end Argentina will be the winner.

Asian Teams BandarqqDisappoint

For those of thought Japan-Korea signalled the start of a new new hierarchy in world football Germany 2006 will demand a rethink.

Four years ago Senegal shocked France in the opening game and went on to the quarter-finals. Meanwhile Turkey and South Korea found their way to the last four while Argentina and France went home early. For all that the final was contested by the powerhouses Germany and Brazil and this year football’s old world teams have been dismissive of their new world challengers.Indiansatta

There are often demands to give more spaces to teams from BandarqqAsia or Africa to make the World Cup a more global event but the results don’t back the argument up. All four Asian teams failed at the group stages, one of five Africans made it through and just Mexico from the four CONCAF teams squeaked out of their group only to run into the Argentineans.

The European and South American teams have been dominant each qualifying three-quarters of their entrants to the final sixteen. They weren’t especially troubled on the way as even the beleaguered French team managed a comfortable 2-0 victory over Togo when they had to. The Ivory Coast and South Korea offered some spirited resistance but only after they had fallen behind.

Each region must find their own solutions. Asia can take solace in their relative inexperience of their teams at this level, the progress their players have made in the past decade and the confidence players like Park Ji-Sung and Hideotoshi Nakata have shown playing with Europe’s best clubs. Iran, Japan and the Korea showed high standards of passing and organisation that gave them opportunities in every game they played while only the Saudis looked poor, unable to turn their wealth into results. But all teams from the Asian region struggled to cope with the physicality of the other nations and they need to come up with a system to negate more powerful opponents. The awesome levels of energy displayed by Korea in 2002 offer one answer but it is difficult to maintain this level over long periods.

The CONCAF region receives massive support from FIFA who are desperate to maintain strong markets in Mexico and the USA. FIFA give three and a half spots to CONCAF which all but guarantees qualification for Mexico and the US and their Byzantine ranking system rated these countries as the 4th and 5th best teams going into the World Cup. There’s nothing wrong with FIFA supporting football in the area but the extra spaces mean that the top teams are not challenged in qualifying while the high rankings breed false expectations and jealousy from other nations. Mexico gave Argentina a tough game but struggled through their group and team USA showed plenty of athleticism but little of the guile required at this level. The other teams, Costa Rica and Trinidad and Tobago added to the party but not much to the overall quality.

Africa will have the most hope for the future and can look forward to South Africa 2010 with some confidence. They qualified three new teams to the tournament this year, a good indicator of rising standards. Ghana came through a tough group with an all action style to become just the fifth African team to qualify for the final stages, and the absence of Essien from their last 16 clash with Brazil is a disappointment for neutrals everywhere. The Ivory Coast won plenty of admiration for their attacking intent and would surely have progressed from an easier group but some of their defending was suicidal against the quality of Argentina and Holland and they only turned it on after falling behind. Angola seemed overawed and Togo wrecked their chances by sacking the manager who saw them through to the finals, replacing him with an arrogant European and then fighting over how the spoils should be divvied up. The Tunisians met most expectations with their all-round dullness. Individually Africa can produce the players and the naivety seen in earlier tournaments is long gone as most top African players ply their trade across Europe but collectively the whole is less than the sum of the parts and we still await the African team that is not just dangerous but deadly.

The Europeans and South Americans have upped their standard this year. The worn-out adage that their are no easy games any more has finally been taken to heart with the top teams now more focused on and aware of their opponents than in the past. The new soccer nations need to match their effort and desire just to keep up but there is hope. Oceania’s one qualifier Australia have stormed the World Cup with little respect for reputation. The verve they have shown should be a beacon to emergent nations everywhere.

D – Oguchi Onyewu (Milan), Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes), Jay DeMerit (Watford), Clarence Goodson (Start), Jonathan Spector (West Ham), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover), Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA)

M – Michael Bradley (Borussia Monchengladbach), Maurice Edu (Rangers), Ricardo Clark (Eintract Frankfurt), Benny Feilhaber (AGF Aarhus), Landon Donovan Madhur matka (LA Galaxy), Clint Dempsey (Fulham), Stuart Holden (Bolton), DaMarcus Beasley (Rangers), Jose Francisco Torres (Pachuca)

F – Josmer Altidore (Hull), Herculez Gomez (Pachuca), Edson Buddle (LA Galaxy), Robbie Findley (Real Salt Lake)

In goal the US look sound with three England-based keepers of whom Tim Howard is the confirmed first choice.

The defence has questions over it however, following some inept individual performances this season, although it all came together in South Africa last year when it mattered. FC Dallas’ Heath Pearce, previously first-choice left-back, was left out after he fluffed his last chance following a poor showing against the Czechs on Tuesday.

Midfield has no surprises with DaMarcus Beasley, a mainstay of the team four years ago, completing an unlikely comeback having looked out of the picture a year ago.

Up front, Bradley surprisingly dropped Hawaiian-born target-man Brian Ching, whom Landon Donovan has said is his preferred partner up front, in favour of Real Salt Lake speedster Robbie Findley. Fulham’s Eddie Johnson, who at one point seemed the future of US forwards, also misses out. With Charlie Davies injured, American striking options look thin, with a reliance on support from the attacking midfield talents of Clint Dempsey, Donovan and Bolton’s Stuart Holden, the one intriguing face to emerge in US ranks in the last year.

Only four of the 23 play in the US’ domestic league, MLS.

A first choice US eleven to play England on the 12th of June could look like this:

Howard, Spector, Bocanegra, DeMerit, Onyewu, Holden, Feilhaber, Bradley, Dempsey, Altidore, Donovan.

The US face England, Algeria and Slovenia in Group C.

Inter; fact not opinion. His use of over 100 players in qualifying was topped when he selected 30 year old Ariel Garce for his final 23 man squad. Garce is a journeyman defender of 4 caps (3 friendlies in 2003 & a 4th recently against Haiti) who was taken because Maradona had a dream that Argentina won the World Cup and the only face he could remember was Garce’s. This story even beats Raymond Domenech’s cosmic selection strategy.

Maradona prowled the touchline in beard and suit and looked like he might bring himself on for Messi at any moment. In the end Messi ran out of steam, Maradona satta king ran out of players to try and Argentina were walloped by those pesky Germans in the quarter finals.

Which brings us neatly to the only two football ‘super powers’ yet to be mentioned. The first, Germany, did as they always do – they brought their A-game to the finals and came third, scoring four goals in three separate matches and only being outdone by Puyol’s thumping header in the semi finals. They were very close to being world champions yet again with a team built on youth, ethics and teamwork.

The second, England, are a ‘super power’ in their own minds but actually couldn’t be further away from a second world title after a disastrous campaign in which their talisman left his heart at home, the coach lost his sanity, the defence lost each other, and the country finally realised they are simply not good enough. It’s like proud parents discovering that the apple of their eye has been placed in the remedial class at school. It was all topped off with an embarrassing Last 16 tonking by Germany and the most unbelievable non-decision in a World Cup game since the last unbelievable non-decision…which ironically involved England and a certain Argentine hand.

There were some players who made a name for themselves in South Africa (Thomas Mueller, Robert Vittek, Keisuke Honda, Mesut Özil, Asamoah Gyan, Landon Donovan), some who enhanced an already growing reputation (Diego Forlan, Wesley Sneijder), and several superstars who simply crashed & burned (Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Kaka). There was also one, Miroslav Klose, who was cruelly denied by injury the chance to become the World Cup’s all-time leading scorer.

Ultimately the best team won and Paul the Octopus predicted it but South Africa 2010 will probably not be remembered for the football or Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s semi final goal, it will mostly be remembered for one thing – those bloody vuvuzelas.

Can Keluaran HKArgentina Win The World Cup?

It is perhaps one of the most intriguing stories of a World Cup with many intriguing stories. Steered by the unsteady hand of Diego Maradonna, Argentina qualified for the finals by the skin of their teeth but boast some world class players that make them Delhi Bazaar Satta King genuine contenders in South Africa this summer.

Can Argentina Win The World Cup?

Few men have won the World Cup as Keluaran HKplayer and coach – Maradonna’s legend is already secure but lifting the Jules Rimet trophy again would bring true god-like status among his people.

It is amazing that in spite of his many previous transgressions he is national coach at all. A chaotic qualifying campaign did little to enhance his coaching reputation and he loses friends at an alarming rate. Still he is there though and in Lionel Messi he has the one player who could emulate Maradonna’s own feat at Mexico 86 – single handedly inspiring his country to become World Champions.

There’s a snag though – Maradonna has yet to find the right role for Messi and has struggled to get the best from his best player. Messi’s domestic form for Barcelona is rarely transferred to the international team and Maradonna must work out this conundrum before the finals begin if his team are to have any chance of lifting the famous trophy.

Finding the right blend has been an wider problem as well – in qualifying 78 players were used with people falling in and out of favour by the game. They lost 6-1 to Bolivia early in the campaign and eventually qualified in fourth place in quite bizarre circumstances.

The final game against Uruguay was a must win for both sides to secure fourth spot. Debutant Mario Bolatti’s 84th minute winner was enough to see Argentina home but it was the previous game that saw lady luck smile on La Albiceleste.

However Urawa goalkeeper Norihiro Yamagishi proved tough to beat from twelve yards, as he guessed correctly to fling himself to his right and keep out Renatinho’s low spot-kick.

The stage was set for a final Urawa goal and it came from the unlikeliest of sources, as substitute Satoshi Horinouchi tapped home after Kawashima could only parry Edmilson’s curling right-foot strike.

“I think we’re on the right track, regardless of what anyone thinks and today’s result and performance back that up,” Urawa coach Finke told The Daily Yomiuri after the match.

“The two early goals certainly helped and I think play bazaar given the way we were playing, the third goal was just a matter of time.”

Urawa leapfrogged Shimizu S-Pulse into top spot in the standings, although the Shizuoka side remain the only unbeaten team left following their 1-1 draw away at Gamba Osaka on Saturday.

Veteran Gamba midfielder Tomokazu Myojin opened the scoring for the Kansai side at a packed Expo ’70 Stadium in Osaka, however Japan striker Shinji Okazaki equalised with a deflected effort midway through the second half.

Relegated sides Kashiwa Reysol, Oita Trinita and JEF United have all made bright starts to life in the second tier, with Kashiwa looking the team to beat after seven rounds of action.

Brazilian coach Nelsinho’s team are the only unbeaten side left in the division, after the Sun Kings comfortably dispatched of Sagan Tosu 2-0 at Kashiwa Hitachi Stadium in Chiba.

Oita Trinita thumped Thespa Kusatsu 3-1 away from home, however JEF United slumped to a disappointing 2-1 loss in front of more than 7,500 fans at Momotaro Stadium in the west of Japan, as the visitors went down 2-1 away at Fagiano Okayama.

The Shikoku derby finished scoreless – to the disappointment of the 11,115 fans who turned out at Pocari Sweat Stadium – with local rivals Tokushima Vortis and Ehime FC forced to share the spoils in a hard-fought encounter.

Kashiwa Reysol lead the nascent standings from Oita Trinita, with surprise package Roasso Kumamoto currently lying in third place in the table.

Not many column inches have been written about Atletico, whose European high point came in tying the 1974 European Cup Final with Bayern, before losing the replay. Their domestic hour of glory was the league and cup double of 1996, but the Spanish capital’s second club have struggled to break the Barca-Real log-jam since. Coach Quique Sanchez Flores, has only been in the job since October, but has hauled the Rojiblancos to the Copa del Rey final as well as this one.

joined José Mourinh of Inter in a swap deal with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and scored 21 goals, which is not bad for the inaugural attack on the defensive – in Serie A.

Lots of other slingshots included the purple in 2006, when he became La Liga’s top scorer and won the Man of the Match award in the Champions League final. Eto’o last scored in the FIFA Club World Cup final, while Inter was crowned the best team on the planet and his Cameroonian ace received the Golden Ball. Eto’o, a strong runner endowed with a heeled turbocharger, a fast-thinking satta king football brain and a deadly bullet, also has a decent share of beats, from coaches, players and journalists who doubt his character and priorities, to fans. . “He shouted racist insults at him in Spain and Italy.

Yet, like all great players, he responded to his criticism on the field, making it the perfect field for this unstoppable African lion.

It’s a holiday if you’re not a British player.

How terrible is the winter in the UK, where they want to play football while other countries enjoy hibernation? Some parts of Britain experienced low temperatures at the end of 2010, the coldest blow since the beginning of detailed records in 1910. Due to England’s summer defeat at the World Cup, the calls to stop in December / January are louder than ever.

“I thought that we must invent something to stop this.” Pablo Silva said

Silva also wondered if the problem was confined to football in Argentina or if the same thing happens all over the globe. He decided to undertake a study of behaviour at free-kicks in the professional game worldwide.

“We have observed more than 1,500 matches all over the world Indian satta and we have studied how long it takes to take the free kick and how far the defensive wall moves forward.

“We have proved this is not just an Argentine problem, it happens everywhere.” Silva conceded.

He hopes that the spray he developed with chemical engineers will catch on all over the world and benefit football as a spectacle.

“Hopefully this can contribute to enforcing the current rules and improve the time that the ball is in play.” Silva said wishfully.

A similar spray has been used in some cup competitions in Brazil for several years now but proved unsuccessful when it was introduced to their league seven years ago. Pablo Silva claims his spray will be much more effective and has been developed separately from its Brazilian counterpart.

“The Brazilian one appeared in 2002 and the substances are completely different. One has nothing to do with the other.” Silva said adamantly.

Watch out for the new invention in Argentina’s Primera División A Torneo Clausura 2009 which commences on 8th February. Keep your eyes peeled though, blink and you’ll miss it.
