380.1 | Rep of Korea Training | SOLVIT::JNELSON | | Tue Jun 07 1994 20:29 | 12 |
| This past week and during the week starting 6/18 I'm the Training Site
Coordinator for the Rep of Korea team as they train in the Boston area
at Merrimack College. For a soccer enthusiast it is an absolutely
fabulous way to spend one's vacation. All the practices have been
'closed.' We are encouraging them to open a session before their 6/23
match.
The Korean team has a number of veterans from the '90 games. They are
extremely fit and very fast. I'll go out on a limb and predict Korea's
first WC win this year.

| Tony,
The Bolivians seem to have a pretty strong team. Ireland defeated them
by 1-0 a couple of weeks back in Dublin. The Bolivians however, didn't
put up a bad show.
Given this result, and the fact that Ireland defeated Germany by 2-0,
in Germany, then I think the Germany v Bolivia result will be a victory
by one goal (at least) for the Bolivians. Sorry Frank ;-)

Spain will come up with a re-formed team. Most of their 'old' heroes
had to stay at home. They are told to be strong in the defence, but
they have problems with their forward.

| This weekend (friday, I guess) I picked up a friend at Boston's Logan
Airport. While waiting I suddenly found myself surrounded by a group
of guys in training dresses, which turned out to be the Bolivian soccer
team. 2 things:
1) That was apparently a bunch of very nice and naturally behaving
modest and quiet guys. Quite a contrast to the brats I'm used to
at home (Ger., or Ita, for that matter). Never met those personally,
though.
2) I cant believe how small and light-weight most of these guys are. They
look much bigger on TV. One should expect that they get plowed under
by the bigger european teams.
I'm primarily in ice-hockey (playing/watching), much bigger people
there, especially at that level.

>>> I'm primarily in ice-hockey (playing/watching), much bigger people

Rainer, agreed, but this is what makes football/soccer such a great game.
You don't have to be 7 feet tall and weigh 280 pounds to play the game. The
greatest soccer players of all time were not exceptionally tall or
heavy. Soccer is a game for everyone, tall or small, fat or thin, black
or white. I believe that this is one of the reasons why soccer is
thriving at college level in the USA.
I hope you enjoy the World Cup.

| JBG,
Tell the truth.
I'm almost 5' tall (in trainers) and I've lost some weight recently so
I'm now down to 13st4. The sad thing is that I can still run rings
around you on the fottball pitch (admittedly without the ball, while
your resting at half time !)
More to the point, you don't seriously expect anyone to believe that
you're only 11st. I suppose you're going to try to deny that you had to
get Air-Brakes fitted to your new Off-Roader cos it didn't have enough
stopping power to handle your additional weight.

| Heiko,
Why is it that there are so many "oldies" in the German
team... is the manager too scared to experiment with
fresh talent or are the oldies the best he has ?
For example, I think playing Matteus (spelling ?) at sweeper
is a potential disaster for Germany, I saw him play in that
role for Bayern in the UEFA cup (v Norwich) and he wasn't
too impressive. He seemed more interested in arguing with
the referee than with playing football.
All the same, I reckon the team (if any) that manages to beat
Germany will will the cup,
Jim.

I've just had a look at our unit's Kicker magazine.
WC Caps for Lothar:
82: Chile 4:1, Austria 1:0
86: Uruguay 1:1, Scotland 2:1, Denmark 0:2, Morocco 1:0 (1 goal),
Mexico 4:1, France 2:0, Argentina 2:3
90: Yugoslavia 4:1 (2), Emirats 5:1 (1), Colombia 1:1, Holland 2:1,
Czechoslovakia 1:0 (1),England 4:3, Argentina 1:0
That makes it 16 altogether. If Germany manage to reach the semis he
could well pass Uwe in the list. (Shame Shame Shame)

there were one or two occasions when he was clearly fouled but the ref
obviously thought he was doing his Hollywood stuntman routine.

There was absolute no 'diving' from Klinsmann in yesterdays match. The
guy who tried to do this was Strunz. A clear penalty wasn't given to
the Germans, as the referee did believe, that Klinsmann was cheating.
In the second half Klinsmann was the best player on the field and one
of the most dangerous forwards I've seen in this tournament.

Good picture in NME of Klinsmann with a caption that read something along the
lines of "Linesman not looking? Check. Ball within ten yards? Check. In the
penalty area? Check. Dive! Dive!"
Personally, if I was a referee I'd said him off straight after the kick-off.

qualified for the second phase. Spain were no better.

Klinsmann may have been the best player, but every time someone went
near him he acted like he'd been shot in the back. If he'd concentrated
on playing Germany would probably have won.

I watched the game on German TV, re the 'possible' penalty. What you
did not see on the NUMEROUS repeats of this 'potenial penalty', was
Klinsmann realizing he did not get a penalty, so he jumps up and then
starts playing the ball again.
These guys are professionals at making a tackle look real dirty.
Personally from a fowling/diving point of view, I think the game was
about even.

ability, which is a shame - because the man has real talent.
He may not have "dived", but his intentions on the 94 oscar for "Best
Male Actor - with silly haircut" were made clear within minutes of the
start of the game.
A spanish guy caught him on the back of the ankle, and our man Klinsi
let out a blood curdling scream (I heard him!), flung his arms in the air,
arched his back, just managed to jump a foot into the air before
falling dramatically to the floor. A superb performance.
The first of many on the night.

like the ultimate yuppie wimp. I often feel kind of embarrassed as a
countryman of his, I rather look at guys like Kohler for that matter.
Although you cannot deny that Klinsmann was successfull throughout
his career, I also never really liked his style of play. Those fashion
magazine types Klinsmann and Riedle should be replaced by Kirsten and
Thom, in my book.

In honour of the truth, we were very unlucky not get a good win against
a team, that I am afraid have lost the spirit of sportmanship.
I remember when they didn't do well some years ago in Argentina, in
fact when they lost against Holland in the semi-final, Verty vogths (
sp ) , said that he was so embarrased to be a German and he would not
play for a team without spirit.
This time when this mediocre team will not do as well as ever will be
kicked out in shame, for all the antics.
By the way Spain have developed a little character to do more fighting
rather than acting and being so pathetic as some of the german players
not only klinsmann...
Spain to win the cup...

various forms - 'fat cat' brats in the team, too many foreigners in
the leagues, blocking the home-grown young talent, 'conservative'

players (and coaches), now the league imports, the WC looks like a

The only comment I have about this game is the amount of time
played. I saw the very end live and it went into the 54 minute.
I thought there must have been a major fracas or serious injury or
something so I watched the tape. I only saw one stretcher off and
that lasted less than a minute. Can someone explain why so much
extra time (there was also 5 minutes added at the end of the
first half)? Do they use different timing standards in Scotland??
Jack, you went. What was it about?
Incidentally this was the first 0 - 0 and it was the farthest a

could have played 208 or maybe 416 minutes without scoring at least one
goal. This was the worst game so far; I can't believe, that people did
go on strike in South Korea to see this.
Last night I saw the three weakest teams so far. Norway wasn't any

what I've seen from Greek.

Choi's clear inside the box and can't get a shot on net with no
defenders in sight.....Bolivia put only 1 of 4-5 directs from 30yds on
net....Korea penetrates to the corners repeatedly, but fail to attack
with an numbers. #20, Hong Myong-bo, played well on defense....as did
#5 Park Jung-bae. It was a very lively crowd with the colorful
Bolivians and the Korean gongs.

Well, it may have been boring but it certainly sets up two
interesting confrontations fro the last games in this group.
The current standings are:
Germany 4
Spain 2
South Korea 2
Boliva 1
and if a 3rd placed team has 4 points they will more than likely go
through, so any of the teams can still qualify without depending on
other results. Germany are probably already through. A draw against
Korea would probably put them top. Korea never gave up against Spain
so, with a place in the next round up for grabs, we can assume they
will do the same against Germany.

Many good midfield players (Guardiola, Sergi, Caminero (sp?)) etc.)and
good support from the back line.
Ferrer from Barca must be one of the best backs in the tournament.
Salinas is not too bad a bench or B team player. I hope some team would
buy him where he would get to play a bit more.

Is that game in Chicago or Dallas ?

What happened to the germans ?? When they made me fell asleep, they
seemed in charge at 3-0...

Interesting news is that that's at least one 3rd place team worse than

I only saw the 1st 20 minutes, and Germany looked in control (2-nil up).
Klinsmans goal was a scorcher. The second goal a bit flukey.
I was expecting to read the score as being either 2 or 3 to nil, but
I'm glad to hear the Koreans made a fight of it. I wish I'd have
watched now.

380.73 | A game of two halves !!!!!!! | AYOV16::WCOLVILLE | | Tue Jun 28 1994 14:17 | 27 |
| Quite a good match to watch for a neutral, Germany were cruising
through the first half easily, and reached half-time 3 nil up, and well
in control. Akthough they were helped by some bad goalkeeping by South
Korea, and poor shooting as well.
The second half, what a different story. I can just see the German
managers half-time talk --- Okay boys were 3 goals up, just take it
easy and well stroll into the next round----
Unfortunately for them South Korea had other ideas, with a good first
goal, flicked over the keeper and a superb 2nd, a sweetly struck 30
yard shot, leaving Illgner helpless.......
Did the Germans have any shots in the second half ???????
Finally, what do any German noters think about Effenberg??????????
I have seen him playing for Germany for a few years now, and we also
get to see him play in the Italian leagues and I must say he is
CRAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!
sure he has a good shot, and can run about a lot. But I can honestly
say I have seen non-professional players who are as good. There must
be better players in the Bundesleig !!!!!!!!!

380.74 | Go Germany Go | COL01::GUMPEL | Blondes have more fun ... | Tue Jun 28 1994 18:03 | 21 |
| Another great performance from the Germans. First 1/2 they showed, what
they are able to play, second 1/2 they slowed it down, as there are
still 4 (!) games to go for us. South Korea wasn't that weak, as it
seemed to be in the first 45 minutes; Germany was so strong, that South
Korea didn't manage to come into the game.
Second half was different, but I had never the feeling, South Korea
could reach a draw. Klinsmann seems to become this WCs top scorer, the
best forward I've seen so far (excl. Romario). Beneath Klinsmann
Buchwald and Haessler played a fantastic game.
Re.: .70:
With Koepke as Goaly Germany would have lost against Spain. Illgner
played world class in this game and made one minor mistake yesterday.
The weakest part of the German team is the defence and I must blame
Matthaeus for that.
See you in the finals,

380.75 | Keeper Error....Programs?? | SOLVIT::JNELSON | | Tue Jun 28 1994 18:07 | 10 |
| Korean keeper Choi is playing in his last Cup. At 32 he is the captain
of the team and a real leader. Unfortunately he has cost his team
a second round spot. If you have the tapes from the '90 Cup you see
similar mistakes. I like Lee Woon Jae who played the second half. At
21 years old, you'll see him in future competition. #20 Hong Myung Bo,
the sweeper, ended up with 2 WC goals. What a talent!
If anyone wants a WC program, let me know. EMail to SOLVIT::JNELSON
today, send $8 intercompany with your mail address and I'll pick up
programs at the 7/5 round of 16 game.

380.76 | I go along with most of the replies... | YOUWOT::HOUSEN | World famous brick hypnotist | Tue Jun 28 1994 18:16 | 15 |
| Germany were very fortunate to get the win... the first half was fairly even..
the Koreans had more shots, but didn't really believe in themselves. Klinsmann
didn't bother with all that theatrical diving, and showed what a class act he
can be.. it seemed at half time that the Germans professionalism and experience
had won the day.
The second half... I've never seen such a one sided half, and for my money
Korea deserved the win. IMO..If Klinsmann had been on the other side it
would have been 5-0 for Korea.
Personally I think many of the European sides will suffer in the next stages
(with the heat catching up on them)
and if the USA play Germany... I'll go for the US!

You are kidding, right? (About Klinsmann being world class, about the
finals, etc.). If the Koreans would have had a true scorer they would
have won the game. They are really good soccer players, just missing
the final 'push'. The same is not true for the 'international selects',
aka USA. US is about the only team Germany can push over to reach the
next round.

380.78 | Germany: thumbs down | SNOC01::PAUKAGABOR | | Wed Jun 29 1994 05:06 | 12 |
| Well, you can say that Klinsmann's first against Korea was a gem, but
the other two goals Korea conceded were just incredibly bad goal
keeping. The keeper should already have cut out the cross (?) that hit
the post and then where were the defenders. As far as the third is
concerned the commentator put it pretty well: even a ten year old
schoolboy would heve been ashamed of letting that one through.
Korea deserved to win that one. So far to me Germany is the biggest
disappointment of this world cup even though I normally support them.
Now I think I'll have to go for Argentina, who show real desire to
perform.

| No, Italy is even more thumbs down. They are extremely lucky not to be
eliminated already. At least Ger. won its (weak) group.
Among the 4 'super-powers' only the south american seem to still be
good (Bra, Arg), the europ. side (Ita, Ger) is out soon.

....don't let the Germans kid you. They've done what they set out to do
- win their group - and probably expended the least energy of the
European clubs to do it. They now face (I think) either Russia or Saudi
Arabia in the next round followed by either Mexico or Nigeria in the
1/4 final. The Germans may have looked weak, but for me they epitomise
"professional football". Could be a hard semifinal against Argentina!

Germany are probably the most professional outfit in the tournament.
They seem to know what it takes to get to end stages of any tournament.
However, the best planning in the world may not compensate for a lack
of ability and/or form. This team at the moment looks to be
struggling.. I'm sure they'll get it right...but of course at this
stage ....1 mistake and you're OOOOOOUT!!!

380.83 | | KBOMFG::RFORST | Rainer Forst SHR1-3/O13 DTN 237-3016 | Wed Jun 29 1994 17:37 | 11 |
| They will not win vs. Russia, if it is Russia. They may be
'professional', but very slow mostly, without harmony within the team
and without an inspirational coach. In the past they didn't have to
have the same amount of talent because they could over-compensate this
with planning and stamina. The latter is missing now (especially in the
heat). So, planning and professionalism will not be enough this time.
And talking about saving energy: Did you see them 'dying' throughout
the whole 2nd half vs. Korea? When guys who rely totally on physical
strength get old (Brehme, Buchwald, also Mathaeus and Kohler) there
is not much left. They might proceed a bit with luck, but Arg. or
Braz. will be too much. Even Sweden or Belgium.
|
380.84 | | MUNSBE::CHEQUER | It's the way I write um | Wed Jun 29 1994 17:53 | 4 |
| hate to say it, but stamina and endurance are more suited to the older
players. also the russians will be affected by the heat as much as the
germans, they both come from relativity cooler climates.

Only difference:
Russia played at least 1 good match in the first round, while the
Germans have played all terrible matches (so far).
I for one wouldn't be surprised if Russia beats Germany.

Germany is breathing a sigh of relief.
Apparently He gave the finger sign to the crowd in the game v South Korea, and
Berti Vogts sent him home, saying his international career is over

380.87 | We don't need Effenberg to win the cup! | COL01::GUMPEL | Blondes have more fun ... | Wed Jun 29 1994 18:40 | 11 |
| Well, for me it was O.K. to sent him home. He showed his finger to the
people, which pay his wages, by attending the games. He played a worse
match and the crowd did blame him for that. Afterwards he informed
Berti Vogts, that he does not regret anything. A little bit more
customer orientation would have been helpful, but Effenberg was known
in Germany for treating the audience like that.
When he played in Germany the fans often sang songs like 'Effenberg Du
A******h', even when he was playing for Germany.

380.88 | Effenberg sent home | ESSB::MANNING | Blessed are the Cheese Makers ...... | Wed Jun 29 1994 18:45 | 9 |
| Steffen Effenberg has been sent home for making a gesture at the German
crowd during the game. The crowd where calling for his substitution
which he seems to has resented a little. According to the German
manager, he'll never play for Germany again.
This has to very bad for moral with the German team especially after
the poor performance against South Korea in the second half.

Mark, I agree that stamina and endurance get better with age as in
marathon runners but that's a different requirement. What's needed is
the ability to endure 'bursts' over 100 minutes (that seems to be the
length of today's game) which is why they say that a footballer usually
peaks at 28; but that figure is adjusted to how well a player keeps
himself and the style of football he/his team employs.
Dezzz.

Not exactly 'hats off to Vogts'.
Egidius Braun, the chief of the German football association wants to
send Effenberg home.
The team thinks that is a bit harsh for a punishment.
Vogts is then going for a less draconian act.
Braun says 'either Effenberg will go, or I'll retract the entire team!'
Effenberg goes, after 'joint decision' of Braun and Vogts.
That's what my teletext says :-)
