V Ecuador vs Poland Date: Friday, 09 June 2006 TV: Live 3:00pm ET Univision, ESPN2, ESPN2 HD Venue: Schalke Arena, Gelsenkirchen
Players to watch: Mendez, Zurawski Possible lineups? Mora De La Cruz, Hurtado, Espinoza, Reasco Mendez, E. Tenorio, M. Ayovi, Valencia Delgado, C. Tenorio/Kaviedes Boruc Zewlakow, Bak, Jop, Baszczynski Krzynowek, Sobolewski, Szymkowiak, Kosowski Zurawski, Smolarek
Yes. At this time I would say that the line up you got is the most likely squad. Boruc Baszczynski Jop Bak Zewlakow Kosowski Sobolewski Szymkowiak Krzynowek Zurawski Smolarek
totally agree with pingudo's lineup. i dont think it makes sense to start throwing in new players into the mix in the 1st game of the WC; instead we'd probably keep most of the same starters that got us through qualifying. dont ask me why, but i have a good feeling about this game. 2-1 ecuador. any takers?
All games are important. The Bookies are actually saying tha WE must win Costa Rica to hae a chance to adbance to round two. I say they are full of it. We are winning all games. We might give Germany a tie so that they will advance.
Obviously they are all important Loraz, but it doesn't mean that some do not stand out. I do not expect much from Germany, however, they are the hosts, 'biggest' team, and they do have the best players, so it is understandable why they are favorites. Costa Rica should be the easiest, or least hard, game imo, a game that Ecuador SHOULD win. If that does happen, the game vs Poland will be the deciding factor. And I will sticky this thread.
I too, think this could be the most important game. If I have to predict a result, I'd say 1-0 Ecuador. According to this, Suarez has confirmed his starting 11: http://www.futbolecuador.com/noticia20048.html Mora De La Cruz, Hurtado, Espinoza, Reasco Mendez, E. Tenorio, Castillo, Valencia Delgado, C. Tenorio Who else thinks this is a solid lineup?
i like it....id like to see kaviedes instead of delgado but its an even match no matter wut...either delgado or nine will b openers but both will play in the game either as a starter or sub... i predict a goal from tenorio, valencia and mendez
If Delgado plays, he will need Kaviedes of C Tenorio to execute. Delgado's injury will limit his abilities. We can't depend on him as a sriker (unless he literally uses his head.....GOOOOOOOOOOOOL), however, he always brings the ball down cause he is just skilled that way plus, his height is an advantage. Tin also has great F'n passes. Paring him with C Tenorio or Kaviedes is the obvious thing to do.
Last Comments Before Big Game I just wanna wish my team the best of luck and say i will be cheering them on until the last whistle of the last game and that I have confidence that they will do well. Que Viva Ecuador VAMOS ECUA DOGS LETS CHEER THE HELL OUT OF OUR TEAM SI SE PUEDE SI SE PUEDE SI SE PUEDE wooooooooooooooooooo
Re: Last Comments Before Big Game The critics/experts and a lot of people out there don't see Ecuador going far in the world cup... But I am one who sees Ecuador showing them otherwise and making history in this world cup... The world will finally see a team made of great players putting our small country's name on the giant soccer map... VAMOS ECUADOR!!! VAMOS A GANAR!!! VAMOS A TRIUNFAR!!!
Re: Last Comments Before Big Game I am wearing the new jersey to school today. Hopefully it brings us luck.
Re: Last Comments Before Big Game kosowski said ecuador does not have players that are at a world class level...this man is obviously a fukin retard who has been smokin too much ganja out in europe....he will get a nice surprise today when they get outclassed and beat... good luck Ecuadawgs...ive passed by the stadium, its freakin beautiful...nice place to start it off
Re: Last Comments Before Big Game ldu, depending on your definition, it is not wrong to say ecuador does not have world class players. you could argue that the only world class player playing today is ballack.
