Enjoyed Blogging For Serbia and Montenegro

Lyle — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 23:49:29 +0000

Even though not being a Serb or Montenegrin, I enjoyed writing for your team. It was difficult coming up with stuff not being linguistically connected to Mother Serbia, and I am studying to take the Texas Bar Exam and that has prevented me from being totally dedicated to this blog. Special thanks to Jadran Sport for being my only source of Serbo-Montenegrin football news.

Hope you enjoyed World Cup Blog… holler at Bob, cause he’s the man. See you in four years maybe.

Argentina is the Best Team in the World

What can you say? These gauchos are good.

Dissapointing World Cup

Lyle — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 20:47:03 +0000

Ah… the good guys are going home after only 2 games… so very dissapointing. They could have done better. Maybe Nemanja Vidic and Vukic could have helped out, but the Argentines were not going to be beaten. Their first half display is by far the best half of football played at the World Cup so far.

Probable Argentina Lineup Tomorrow

Lyle — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 05:10:16 +0000

Abbondanzieri, Burdisso, Ayala, Heinze, Sorin, Gonzalez, Mascherona, Rodriguez, Riquelme, Saviola, Crespo

Tevez and Messi are not 100% apparently. Cambiasso is not starting because he didn’t play as well as he should.

What Do We Do About Argentina?

Lyle — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 04:32:28 +0000

I think the good guys will play a better game on Friday, but they still will be playing against the Argentines. I having a feeling Zigic gets to start and he somehow finds Kezman or scores himself for a first half goal. Serbia and Montenegro really didn’t play poorly agains the Dutch, but they got burnt on a really good play by van Persie and “The One We Will Not Name”, who are more fleet afoot than our big Balkans men. So if they can assert themselves a bit more in this game they should be able to keep the game close and pull out a tie or 1 goal victory.

Thoughts?

Vidic Out

This sucks. Knee injury rules Vidic out of the World Cup. Serbia and Montenegro is down to 21 players.

Petkovic’s Postgame Thoughts

Lyle — Mon, 12 Jun 2006 22:59:14 +0000

“It’s a real shame that we lost the way we did, because we didn’t deserve to lose this game. Anyway, congratulations to the Dutch, even though we were the ones who had the better chances. The goal we let in was predictable, but there was nothing we could do about it. The goal wasn’t a mistake from Nenad Djordjevic, so let’s skip that subject. We played really cautiously, we didn’t want our defence to be opened up, but unfortunately our attack didn’t work well today. We can definitely do better than this. We have a good team and we will do our best to finish second in the group. Furthermore I won’t discuss my tactics with the whole world, my team and I will speak about it behind closed doors. But things will change in tactical way, yes that’s true.”

Good game Dutch. Give Arjen Robben some tulips.
