Message: [QUOTE="DeGrozz, post: 3034853, member: 205"] Not sure if this is a redundant question -- but Thailand's wheel's game off in the second half. They weren't physically prepared to face a world class team and they ran out of gas at about the 60th minute. Chasing the ball for so long and just not having the legs/lungs absolutely killed them. I'm not sure I've ever seen a team so gassed at the end of a game -- professional players swinging and missing on clearances, passes 5 yards off the mark, clearances that didn't even make it to the touchline -- it was insane. With soccer, I feel like that is magnified multiple times. Not only do those mistakes usually cause turnovers causing your team to chase the ball more, but there are also the limited substitutions. By the end of the match, the Thai team was flat footed and beaten on nearly any speed move we wanted to make, so we got the ball into dangerous spots in the box at will. [/QUOTE]
