Niemi wasn't that great in the playoffs as Jackal said. And he really wasn't the reason they won. Sure, he pulled off some really tough saves in terms of coverage, but his issue is that he gives away FAR too many rebounds. I noticed that even a lot of simple to average shots which most keepers...

I know just about everybody who plays sports or even has gym in school has taken the beep test. The ways of calculating the scores are different, but my school uses something like this. You start at 1, go through 1'1, 1'2, 1'3..etc until about 1'8 and then you proceed to 2'0. The intervals go...

I'm a soccer player so my build is strong thighs and legs, and small-ish upper body. The thing is that during fitness tests and whatnot I can get through the tests if I'm on overdrive but when I'm playing on the pitch, I can play for the whole 90 minutes and still have a good amount of energy...

T-Wave isn't exactly effective on this set because with it Groudon and Garchomp give great troubles to this set. I feel Toxic is a much better option as you can hit these Ground types as well as Toxic stall with Wish + Protect as opposed to paralyzing your opponent. It's good that you have...

Biggest disappointment is not even England, as they made it to R16. Italy and France, previous 2006 World Cup finalists both went out in the group stages. Both teams suffered 2 draws and 1 loss, a record that both teams should be ashamed of

Agreeing with shrang here. SD doesn't really seem necessary here as you can get Taunted as well as start the match off by wasting a turn, leading to your opponent setting up Stealth Rocks. Instead, using Leaf Blade over it gives great coverage against things like Swampert, and can help against...

This lead does help take on certain leads and cause them to switch but I'd really have to agree with the above posters in the fact that Pokemon like Ambipom will instantly attract Pokemon including Rotom-A, Heatran, Scizor, or basically any Steel-Type in general really because of the fact...

Jong will be remembered forever.

^ True. :P If technology is implemented it would cause most players to not be diving excessively but I can still see players being over dramatic about little clips off the opponents cleats and tackles that were legit. I'm not going to deny that the Netherlands did an absolute AMAZING job at...

^ LMAO That would be so jokes. During a tackle one guy gets carded for a vicious challenge by referee #1 and the other guy would get carded for diving by referee #2. Just joking but LOL :P.

The fact that the referee stays at 1 major man is important. Bringing in a 2nd guy would help somewhat but then things such as who's word counts more could be brought up. Example is if one referee sees a dive and wants to pull out a card but the referee who is farther away says it was a legit...

^ So true. They need to add cameras in the system for calling goals as well as controversial dives/fouls. That would set things straight with the goals but I have a feeling a lot more people would be sent off in the future for fouls and diving, considering replays clearly show how foolish...

I get what you mean, unreliable. I won't really credit him against Ghana because of the fact that the Ghanaian penalty kicks were horrible, except Gyan. Lawl, if only he did that during his 120' penalty. </3 Also, not sure about where Muslera plays. Don't follow Uruguay besides Cavani, Forlan...

Muslera is not a bad keeper at all, he did have fantastic games prior to this. I think that the amount of rain mixed in with the fact that Muslera didn't really care about what happened in the game led to the 3 goals. The 1st goal was a good attempt to block the initial shot but he threw his...

Man that Germany vs Uruguay was amazing. I was hoping Germany would rape Uruguay for the fact that Suarez fucked up Ghana, but it turned out to be a great game. Attacks on both sides throughout the whole game, not many intense fouls, and just some really great football from both sides. I really...

^ Seeing his team right now shows 3 scarfers, that already suggests that without a great deal of correct prediction, he will be making quite a few switches in the battle. The team may not be weak to Stealth Rock but right now, none of the team members have a source of healing their HP...

Germany will definitely win their game. The only reason they didn't do a better job against Spain was because they were missing Muller. I think it would of went into a shootout otherwise.

Since the beginning I was rooting for Ghana, Portugal and Spain. I was pissed when Spain had to beat Portugal in R16 and I was even more pissed when Ghana got eliminated because of Suarez. :( Spain's got what it takes to take the cup though this year and I also hope that Torres can overcome his...
