royalman Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 As denmark manager i am delighted with my 2-1 win over Germany, Against the germans as they have a far superior side, i was forced to use a 5-4-1 frmation, we sucked up the pressure and got a good few breaks. Delighted with Ebbie Sand's performance, alwasys a top performer and skoubo, was only a last minute replacement for Henrik Petersen so i must say i am delighted, but despite this excellent performance i don't feel this is the approach i need to take to my match against Ireland, they will be a tough cookie, butwe will stick are teeth in.

Guest Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Match Summary: Bulgaria 1-1 Czech Republic Todorov 71 Lokvenc 68 I was happy with the 1-1 draw with Czech Republic. The Czechs took the lead on 68 minutes through Vratislav Lokvenc's header, despite being dominated by Bulgaria for much of the match. 19-year-old wonderkid Anatoli Todorov pulled one back with a quality strike three minutes later. The Czechs were frustrated by Bulgaria's flowing passing and were lucky to finish the match with eleven men on the field after Karel Poborsky's blatant second bookable offence. Martin Petrov was deserved man of the match, posing a constant threat from free kicks and on the left wing. Bulgaria are now firmly focused on the upcoming tie with Greece, bolstered by the return of Marian Hristov. Anything more than a point against Holland, however, would be considered miraculous.

DezMW Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Good going guys, so wish I was involved now, but alas thus is life.

Lambie\'s Lovechild Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Eleftheros was MOM. The Dutch laid siege to the Greek goal, as though it was the walled city of troy, but although the Wooden Horse managed to score, the wall remained solid enough to repel all other invaders.

Guest Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Being a relative newbie to CMO but a veteran of online gaming, im pleasantly surprised at how smoothly its all ran so far, apart from a slight hiccup with all the players going on holiday and having our squads change back to the default ones. . Apart from that much kudos to Kozak and Kuky who have led the line superbly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozak Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 Russia: Nigmatullin; Solomatin, Onopko (45min Golovskoy), Ignashevich, Nizhedgorodov, Karyaka; Mostovoi, Yanovskiy, Titov; Beschastnykh, Danishevskiy (60min Sytchev) Spain: Casillas; Salgado, Helguera, César, Navarro; JoaquÃn (45min Arteta), Baraja, Valerón, De Pedro; Raúl (72min Morientes), Tristan (45min Torres) Big counter surprise by Kozakov's Russian army: With some good fight on the field Russia finally got the start they want on a big tournament. However the start looked different with a strong Spain pushing the Russians back. Quality players Baraja, Valerón & Raúl gave themselves a few chances but all were missed or stopped by a good performing Nigmatullin. In 27th minute it was a counter from Russia. It was the 20 year old Danishevskiy (put Shirko out of the Euro2004 squad) who turned away from his Spanish opponent just within the box. The referee didn't hesitate any moment and went to the spot. With a perfect shot in the right corner there was no chance for Iker Casillas. Beschastnykh showed his coolness there. From that moment the game became more even, but it was a fast equalizer by Javier de Pedro. Spain had showed their passing quality here so that Nigmatullin had no chance. In the 2nd half the match became totally even. Less chances and lots of midfield play. During the 2nd half their was one man who showed his quality: Karyaka! Playing on the whole left side he had to do much defense this match. But some great dribbles showed his real quality. One of this dribbles ended in a corner, that was perfectly taken by 34year old Mostovoi. It was substitute Sytchev who headed the ball in and made whole Russia and Kozakov crazy. However Spain tried everything there was only 1 moment of danger with Fernando Morientes shooting over. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Manager Kozakov was extremely happy with the win that kept his team full in the fight for the Quarter Finals, however the way is long with matches against favourites Portugal & England to go. He also said he won't start playing more offensive as he thinks "defense" is the only way to survive the first round. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs1979 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 England manager sticks 2 fingers upto his doubters! Of course thats a joke but hey The first game was lost 2-0 to a deflected goal and a penalty, Portugal's only other chance was 2 long shots at the keeper. Owen missed some guilt edge chances which would have given the game a much fairer result of a draw. Niall got the breaks at 2 times in the game that were important in a very tight game and good luck to him. After the 1st round of matches anyone can win still so we've got all to play for today. As for Scott Huckerbey he's a backup, had 1 position to fill cover for both wings and the guys a genius running with the ball. Overall I created chances against Portugal who of course are playing with home advantage and created more chances and more shots on goal, with better finishing the result may have been completely different. I'm happy because I feel against other teams I'll create more chances and score them, come on!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozak Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 Kozakov hammers the UEFA: With his draw 1-1 against England Russia should have been through with 4 points.
