    Missing the point a tad.
    Should we have kept Arnasun and played deep so he didn’t get exposed?

    Yes if we were to play a team with Messi in it. I hardly think Arnason was the reason Iceland defended so deep.

    Probably not but we shouldn’t have left him so exposed in the semi final.

    He rightly takes a lot of grief for that game but he has been made a scapegoat to let others off.

    As Michael Stewart pointed out after the game for the 3rd goal O’Connor lost the ball on the wing and left him one on one with the striker.Obviously he should have done better but even a 34 year old Willie Miller would have struggled if he was left in that situation.The only difference being Willie Miller would have rung O’Conners neck for doing so.

    I wouldn’t refer only to the semi final game.

    Again, you’re missing the point.
    The discussion was how he did well in today’s game (against Messi and co) and I pointed out that it suited him, because he doesn’t have the legs for it and could sit in.
    That would not be accepted by Aberdeen by many in here.

    The worst thing about the world cup is all the casual fans who happen to see an unusual objectively entertaining game (like Portugal-Spain last night) and then bitch about the other games nae being as exciting. Aye, we already ken fitba's nae that exciting a' the time. If yer nae invested in something then it probably will be boring to watch.
