Montreal Impact Thread XXV and World Cup Discussion Thread

So now Romero is on the right, Bernier is up front, Miller is a defensive mid and Tissot's playing left wing.

Ah! Toilette.

 

[TRG]

How many ****ing posts in this game

Our finishing/luck tonight

 

[Dominator13]

Felt awesome having Ferrari out there again. IMO Danso should of been there with him instead of Pearce. Maybe we'll get to see the Footy-Piscu combination on sunday. Tissot was pretty decent as a left winger too, Ouimette had his best game ever.

 

[TRG]

Tissot lacks some muscle and experience. He definitely, IMO, has the skill to play in the MLS.

Tissot was decent on set plays other than the one he booted a mile over the night, his game was below average, loosing every one on one battle, he was a rally killer. Every time we moved the ball up, the play would end with Tissot. No creativity, no vision. I'll say it again, he's a marginal bench player, the fact that he continues to play speaks volumes at our depth. Let's please end this foolish experiment. We have players who played in top competition, Lopez in the Premiership and Futty with his country's national team and we continue to play Tissot, Miller etc etc Why the ****** did we get these players in the first place... My brain hurts thinking about this. Only 6 substitutes (1 forward) Yikes...

Interesting:

Obviously not true.

Chiellini spent more time on the ground against Uruguay by himself than the chart states for the collective Italian team.

He didn't even stay on the ground since he got up to go show that dumb ref the bite marks but keep trying buddy!

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Watched the 1st half only, lots of great scoring chances and they moved the ball pretty well. Hopefully they can turn things around, big point in Vancouver

 

[ArtPeur]

So, how was the game/team/players(IMFC)? I couldn't watch the game as it was way too late for me. I read some posts though like how Ferrari is way better being bals, Guetta being Good, Tissot awful/great

 

[Sala90]

Tissot, when he has the ball, it's A) Wow! ... OR B) Tabarn***!

Why a dumb ref? He didn't see the play and why would he take the word of Chiellini, one of the biggest fakers and whiners in all of football.

Chiellini though, true to form of his rep, started writhing on the ground then magically cured, jumped up and ran around whining. It does illustrate the point of the article.

Let me guess, he is the only soccer player to do that right?

No, of course not, but Chiellini is one of the worst (best?) there is at doing those type of shenanigans.

Confirmed: Luis Suárez banned for nine games and from 'football activity' for four months http://gu.com/p/3qe36/tw #Uru

FIFA doing something right.

FIFA doing something right.

Not sure about that.

He will appeal and probably get reduced to 2 months. Just in time to start the new season.

He should've been banned to at least January 2015.

Fifa needs to change the way it officiates the game. One pair of eyes on the pitch isn't enough. Also, if Fifa wants to cut diving, the officials need to be a bit more aggressive in carding suspected theatrics. It will make players think twice before diving because they were brushed by an opponent's shoulder.

I know the Wall Street Journal is usually made up...

Unfortunately, Suarez' punishment comes a few days too late for Italy.

Not sure how the linesman missed Suarez clear lunge with his head to Chiellini. Should have been given a red straight away.

I consider Nestor Pitana (USA vs Portugal) to be one of the best referee. His calls were on point. Nani and Ronaldo both and a few other professional Portuguese divers looked ridiculous out there.

What he said was true though. Getting bitten by Suarez doesn't excuse his theatrics beforehand. Chiellini would dive, writhe in pain, and whine all the time at the slightest contact throughout the match.

So was Caceres. Also Rodriguez - let's be honest here.

 

[7th Player]

The hate for the Italians is so intense here it's ridiculous. Like it or not, the Italians don't dive nearly as much as they used to. And they played very good tactical soccer.. too bad they don't have strikers. Which was their ultimate downfall against Costa Rica.
