WE got to give Suarez mad props. The humiliation we recieved serves us right only to put us in the rightr perspective. We have to keep gorunded period! I saw the NT coming out of the their hotiel and I coulc see it in their faces that they were ready throw this game away. Ecuador held back for a reason and that is to give England the element of surprise. AS far as DLC, he had one bad game and you are goping to be upset at him? Ulises works well witht eh supreme team that we have. our Midfield was flawless until Surez started to rearange the team against Germany. Taking our Valencia who was alrady rocking and needed on the pitch just to be replaced by lara was Suarez way of ensuring a lose. The ouctcome, The team gained expreince with this line-up and we pass to the next round. I can't wait till sudnay and for those of you who have a doubt in Ecuador's Victory over England, read the bible, Exodus to be exact. you guys need to seroulsy understand Ecuador's futbol. England will makes us famous. 3-1 to Ecuador and they made a godlen calf.
I don't think it's accurate to say that Ulisses Del La Cruz has had ONE bad game. In my humble opinion, he has has THREE bad games. I don't know what else to say. He used to be a player that could not be stopped. He would always sort of sprint on the side, run into whoever was defending him, and still come out with the ball in order to put in a great cross. He would always leave defenders dumbfounded and in the dust. Now, he just seems to be someone who "hogs" the ball and ends up losing it. I stated in earlier posts that he must pick up his game and I still feel that way right now...especially against England. There was a point a few years back where he was considered the best player in the Ecuadorian team. Now, I don't think he's anywhere near that. Don't get me wrong, I still love the guy, but I know he can play better. By the way...has anybody stopped to dream about what this team would be capable of if they had the 1993-1998 Alex Aguinaga on their side??? It's nice to dream!
Yes, UDLC has had bad games... He's also made negative comments to the press that Ecuador is going to have a difficult time against a strong super power like England...I hope he changes this attitude and really shows up against England, Do or Die!!! There are no excuses for our loss against Germany... I think Ecuador now knows that we might have to play against 12 instead of 11 meaning the referees in the world cup. There were 2 hand balls and a penalty that weren't called... And everything seemed to be called against Ecuador... I watched the game 3 times and I can clearly see Ecuador can let their guard down when they see a hand ball caused by the opposition because it could cost them a counter attack and a goal against them...
alot of our guys were caught flat footed on filtered passes....more awareness of the attack is needed...luckily we will have reasco and hurtado back to command the defense
owen is completely out. rio was subbed out of there sweden game for no apparent reason, but he seamed injured and there keeping it quiet.
If anything, this result will serve to lower expectations a little. Who's to say England won't underestimate their oponent like Poland did.
I just hope my wish comes true...
