Quite a spectacle this World Cup thing. I don't watch much soccer, but like the fellow above spend some weekends watching kids kicking the ball out of bounds a lot.
Some questions please: What is a midfielder's primary responsibility, what makes a good midfielder, who are some of the alltime greats and the one's to watch in this WC? Can the captain play any position, or do they tend to play or or another position? It seems like the 'glamour' position is the strikers, I saw the Germany game where Podoloski (sp?) really laid into it, really hit it in stride was pretty sweet goal.
Its difficult for the layman to pickup nuances, like why it was so easy for Germany to play keepaway with the ball and the Austrailians barely touched the ball. I mean if you are a world class team, how can you not intercept the ball and stop that from happening? Those poor Aussies never even had a chance to mount an attack.
Looking forward to watching these games, been watching some youtube videos of david villa of spain. Any recommendations of some of the better midfielders in this WC to youtube? And what makes this Messi so special?
