Mimglow Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I'm a little confused as I've never seen the Kicker ratings before. Is 1 the best rating and 5 the worst?

But basically, the lower the number, the better the rating. In a World full of caterpillars it takes balls to be a butterfly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrek Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Onstad made some spectacular saves, I think that he was definately the player of the game for Canada even though our defenders let down their guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I can't believe that Dasovic & Nash were given equal marks. On what basis? One completed almost all of his passes & set up a goal, the other didn't. Well a lot of things can happen, when you're walking down the street, and it never fails to amaze me, the people that I meet. They all say "See you later" and I just answer "How? How will you see me later, when you can't see me now?" - Kevin Ayers, The Confessions of Dr. Dream & Other Stories (1974) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I thought Nash really had a quiet game. Few errors, but he didn't really impose himself on the match in the run of play. His cross on the goal certainly merited him better than Dasovic by a bit I would say. Imhof was quiet, but he tends to get better reviews from the people there, so I was interested to see that kicker didn't rate him very high either. No big worry there though. He'll bounce back after an off game. Nice marks for Nsaliwa as well. A 5 for Baumann? Ouch, they took that goal pretty seriously didn't they? I thought Lauth was the worst German on the day. cheers, matthew The secret of life is to find moments of levity and grace in what is, ultimately, a tragedy. Watching Canadian soccer is good practice for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Oranje Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 From what I saw of the match, I think Kicker, aside from a half a point on a few, got it right with the Canadian players... de Guzman, Nsaliwa, and Stalteri (think he was the best of the three) were the most involved outfield players. Onstadt was ok so I don't have an objection with his rating. As for the weaker performances, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
