QuoteBroomWagon More offensive style? 240 minutes without a goal, Netherlands vs. Costa Rica and Argentina. Well not in these games but in general Holland has an offensive style for decades. But of course it depends on the teams they are playing against. You can`t play just offensive when you playing the world top teams. You are out quickly. The tough thing with Argentina is to score agains

Congrats to Argentina ! Netherlands vs Germany would have been a more attractive game cause Holland has a more offense style. With Argentina it will be a very tough and close game. Argentina has such a strong defense it is hard to score. Funnily some people think they should play beautiful. In reality they never really did. They always had world class players: Maradona, Mario Kempes, Messi

QuoteKoen I agree about Robben, did he learn this in Germany, or has he always done this? I'm Dutch and I don't like it, I would not be super happy if the win because of an obvious dive. He is good enough, he doesn't need to do it. Of course he did learn it from Germans. All the bad things come from Germany. We have the worst players, always cheating, most fouls, most cards and

Big Success!! The London/ US- Tour was the part to show the world they still can do it. But the European tour was so important for their reputation. Playing at big festivals in front of thousands of young people, getting knew fans, getting fantastic repoorts even in the critical media.

QuoteDoxa But If we think that "Streets of Love" - like "Slipping Away" - being actually is a sign of that approach you describe here, that also shows that the band appreciates Taylor as a musician who could do any thing needed, and not just an icon player of certain type playing on certain numbers in their past. That is, not treat him just as a 'nostalgia card'.

QuoteBeforeTheyMakeMeRun No, I don't think the Stones ever considered doing it live. It was written about a political event from the late 80s/early 90s, so by now, it would make for a good live rocker, but it would be dated.
