FIFA World Cup 2014 - Round of 16 [28th June - 1st July] **spoilers**

God I hate england and this love for a holding midfielder who never gets beyond the half way line and acts like it's a good thing. Gilberto was maybe the best DM I've ever seen and scored 12 goals one season. If you can drive forward, you're helping the team, Makelele is one of the only really really withdrawn DM's I've seen and it's because he was **** going forwards, not because DM's don't go forward. All the best defensive midfielders help offensively as well.

We have one ultra defensive DM almost ever in the prem league and now English people seem convinced that all DM's should be like that, urrgghh.
 
God, of all the players, was he potentially offside there on the far post, just beyond his player when the flick on happened,?

No near post defender just a bit further back than far post.
 
Very difficult to say from those replays, probably half time slow mo required to be sure.

IS it just me or is Sanchez constantly deep and they've hit it long to other players with Sanchez not that involved in their best counter attacks. They've had a couple good long balls but like that last one poor pass at the end means no real chances on goal.
