USA Rover Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 EVH is very quick. He might be able to help us on the right side.
oozy Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Boy, hasn't EVH made an impression! That through ball for the one on one proves its not all about pace too. And he's taking all their set-pieces.
Tim Southampton Rover Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 What's more important is that his corners aren't cleared by the first man
den Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 ah, thanks! Missed it all really, has our man done well?
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 What's more important is that his corners aren't cleared by the first man FINALLY. Mind you, the Ewood curse will soon have him punting it into the first man.
Tim Southampton Rover Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Did anyone just see that speedy whippet at the bottom of the screen. Please say it was him....please say so!!!!!!!!! He's the South African Stuart Ripley. Infact his name translates at Van Ripley

Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 3-2 Alonso, saw that coming when he was lining it up.
Iceman Posted June 28, 2009 Author Posted June 28, 2009 Damn! 2 men in the wall, and again our inability to handle a free kick. C'mon Bafana!
Tim Southampton Rover Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Unlucky S.Africa. Excellent game considering it was a 3rd place play off. Some cracking goals and good to see our player for 50 mins or so.
Backroom Tom Posted June 28, 2009 Backroom Posted June 28, 2009 Finished 3-2 shame for SA EVH looked good on the ball but didn't see much of it in the 2nd half of extra time
dazmaz Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 ahh unlucky SA. think EVH has made a good impression with all BRFC fans that watched
joey_big_nose Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 On the basis of that it looks like we have seriously stregthened down the right side of midfield/attack. With Diouf, EVH, Doran and, potentially, Hoilett it looks like we don't need to worry about that part of the side. Encouraging. I liked the way he varied his crosses.
Iceman Posted June 28, 2009 Author Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks for all the support guys, was a really good tournament on the pitch for SA. Pity about the loss today, but we will learn from this and improve alot more. Shows that we really dont need Benni. Mphela and Bernard Parker looks very lively up front. Maybe we could have a look at one of them. Both are speedy strikers, who can do a decent job up front. Good luck to the Rovers fans from the USA for the final tonight.
ThatRabbitsDynamite Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Tough luck SA and Iceman. I think you deserved at least to get to penalty kicks. There's alot for you to take from this tournament. You've held your own against some of the best in the world. Plenty of food for thought until next years world cup. Congrats!!

Although I felt you had a couple of good games against Spain and Brazil. I felt that South Africa really struggled in the final 3rd of the pitch throughout the tournament and needed someone of Benni's experience and composure up front. I guess age is against Benni but with a World Cup in your own back yard. He could be the difference between your team getting out of the group stages and you competing in the latter stages.
cn174 Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I liked this comment from the BBC text updates: "Good to see Fifa president Sepp Blatter doesn't have favourites, anyway. He's one of the guests of honour and shakes hands with all 22 players - stopping to kiss one, Brazilian superstar Kaka. Kiss him. For God's sake."
