I'm biased of course cause a 48 team WC means we (Ireland) have a better chance of qualifying, but this notion of "bad tactics" is ridiculous, it's football and teams use the tactics that will best help them win (in most cases).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They were one of the main offenders at the euros. Set pieces and anti-football, yet I read a report saying they were “unlucky” to lose to France. 1 shot on target which was a pen after about 4 mins and spent the rest of the game ignoring the ball so they could defend. Each to their own but that’s exactly what I don’t want to see at major tournaments.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's not defensive football I've an issue with, it's the playacting, fouling, timewasting etc etc.
Defensive football (even though we mock United for it) is obviously the right way for some teams to play but I can't stand the above.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I detest time wasting and trying to break up the flow of the games with diving and niggly fouls. The amount of time someone goes down with cramp when their team is winning is uncanny.... absolutely hate it. Just get up and play for fack sake.
