I think that describin either side as the best team is grossly unfair in that game. Best and most even match up of the tournament so far.Gandalf2 wrote:QUOTE (Gandalf2 @ Sep 25 2011, 05:06 PM) How many yards offside was Contemponi again??! The best team lost that game

I think you're being grossly unfair yourself, Scotland were the better team in the 2nd half after a fairly even 1st half, maybe you were watching a different game? Better going forwards, good at stopping attacks, just kept losing the ball in the breakdown & just had a silly 2 minutes when Argentina scored their (well-taken) try. Also your two sentances are fairly unrelated, you don't have to have 2 perfectly even teams to have a good match.Raveen wrote:QUOTE (Raveen @ Sep 26 2011, 08:37 AM) I think that describin either side as the best team is grossly unfair in that game.

Believe it or not, someone in my RL version of this predicted a 21-21 draw for that game!FreeBeer wrote:QUOTE (FreeBeer @ Sep 27 2011, 11:09 PM) So who nailed the Canada/Japan game?
It's all pretty subjective naturally but I think that it could easily have gone either way with neither team clearly dominating, you believe differently. Vive la difference (or whatever that french phrase is). And yes, the two points are not synonymous hence the use of the word "and" as a conjunctive. Saying that, I think you're more likely to get a good match between two even midlling teams than between a top team vs a no-hoper.Gandalf2 wrote:QUOTE (Gandalf2 @ Sep 28 2011, 12:47 PM) I think you're being grossly unfair yourself, Scotland were the better team in the 2nd half after a fairly even 1st half, maybe you were watching a different game?

what a lovely mess it will be if sscotland wins and argentina gets bonus point!Raveen wrote:QUOTE (Raveen @ Sep 28 2011, 04:44 AM) It's all pretty subjective naturally but I think that it could easily have gone either way with neither team clearly dominating, you believe differently.

i'm looking forward to England Scotland much more now because both sides have plenty to lose which will hopefully rouse England from the slumber of mediocrity that we've seen so far.
