The official 'World Cup' shittalk thread

[tpk]

so will espn and abc still broadcast the games when the us doesn't get out of the group?

[Echewta]

so will espn and abc still broadcast the games when the us doesn't get out of the group?
Thats what sucks about US tv the most. Any international sport has to be about the US.

I doubt it. Maybe the semi and finals.

[Extra Cheese]

yeah dick. they paid lots of money for the shit, doesnt matter if people watch or not they're showing it. and what the fuck its not like its all baseball loving white people who live here dick.

a loss here isnt the end of the world.

[tpk]

Thats what sucks about US tv the most. Any international sport has to be about the US.

I doubt it. Maybe the semi and finals.well that would certainly suck ASS. that would mean i'd miss every single game of the finals :eek:

[tpk]

yeah dick. they paid lots of money for the shit, doesnt matter if people watch or not they're showing it. and what the fuck its not like its all baseball loving white people who live here dick.

a loss here isnt the end of the world.yeah according to the schedules they are showing it but still.

[monkey]

so will espn and abc still broadcast the games when the us doesn't get out of the group?

yo thats why people in the know watch it on univision. viva mexico!

[Extra Cheese]

thats what i do cuz i dont have cable

[Planetary]

well, i have two wrong so far. wonder if i can make it three....

[Extra Cheese]

i dont know, whatever... The U.S. is a decent (or maybe not) the czechs are an elite team, they proved it by beating on a team thats not on their level. the U.S. is just on that 2nd tier, B level with the other b level team like england, france, mexico and italy. speaking of mexico, we all cant have an easy road like them and play vs. Iran.

whatever,, i hope El Salvador is decent in four years so i can be dissappointed by 2 teams instead of one.

[Echewta]

yeah dick. they paid lots of money for the shit, doesnt matter if people watch or not they're showing it. and what the fuck its not like its all baseball loving white people who live here dick.

a loss here isnt the end of the world.

Who was this addressed to?

[Extra Cheese]

if you want to be the recipient go right ahead.

[synch]

47 minutes 'till the world cup really starts for me.

I might crap my pants.

[Echewta]

if you want to be the recipient go right ahead.
OK tough guy.

[synch]

Italian.

[venusvenus123]

OK tough guy.
:D

[na§tee]

- that crouch dude is really tall!
- david beckham takes all teh free kick/corner thingies
- people drink bud in the stadium
- sven is very reserved in his "we've scored!" celebrations
- the ref looked like a total caricature mexican, we loved him!
- scottish fans are still going be the age-old "support the team playing against england" mantra :mad:. they may be a different country but we're the same NATION, shitheads!

[jabumbo]

5 minutes? oh man

[Junker]

I was cheering for the US. But after seeing the Czech team playing I changed my mind. They have a really great team. Btw........they will finish first in the group and Italy in second. Then I hope Brazil finishes first in his group. This way we'll face the italians. man.....it would be a great game. Fo' sure!!! (y)

[Junker]

Good job Italy!!!!! (y)

[tpk]

the czechs did very good but i definitely think the US contributed to the loss a lot too by not playing that well. they definitely could have planned that game better than they did. weak first game for them.

and the italian ghana game was in my point of view one of the most entertaining games so far. interesting game in so many aspects. ghana did good too. even though game ended 2-0 and italy had the best chances of goal, the game could might as well have ended 1-1.

[synch]

japan - australia 0-1
us - czech 1-3
italy - ghana 3-1

I'm feeling optimistic.
Heh. Not too bad as far as predictions go.

[ToucanSpam]

Today's games were bomb. Figo was great, Paulete was good and the Portugal defense was rock solid.


Tommorrow:

Czech 3 USA 0
Ghana 0 Italy 2
Aussssssssssies 2 Japan 1

So far I'm exactly right. Minus the third Aussie goal.


PS- Extra Cheese, you can shove THAT right up your American ass.

[synch]

FINE.

You win ;)

Ghana was butchering us, literally. The ref had some dodgy decisions, both ways. The tackle on Totti and Iaquinta were disgraceful though. Poetic justice that Kuffour made the mistake that allowed Iaquinta to score the goal that made me temporarily stop shitting my pants.

[ToucanSpam]

FINE.

You win ;)



I'll never underestimate the power of the synch, though.

[JimmyTheScumbag]

Any sport where you can't you use your hands is for limey gaywads.

[Freebasser]

What do you think a goalkeeper does?

[synch]

I think he's on about frat boy wanking championships though.

[Freebasser]

*takes a throw in*

[JimmyTheScumbag]

Can the goal keeper just pick up the ball & run down to the other side & throw it in the other goal or does he have to stay in his little box?

[JimmyTheScumbag]

Rinaldo!

[JimmyTheScumbag]

Don't sleep on North Korea yo.

[HAL 9000]

Why the fuck do the US have Keller in goal - he is rubbish. They have Freidal - get him out of retirement he is still awesome.

I had the same driving intructer as Keller(y) We both passed first time.

[thegoodmrbrodie!]

maybe it's because he plays for my club...but you really want hahnemann in goal. he is the main reason we got promoted.

[HAL 9000]

maybe it's because he plays for my club...but you really want hahnemann in goal. he is the main reason we got promoted.
I support Fulham,he used to play for us - I think he is OK. I guess Keler is ok-ish but Freidal is probably one of the best premiership keepers....

Reading Oracle - Woot

[Drederick Tatum]

the U.S. is just on that 2nd tier, B level with the other b level team like england, france, mexico and italy.

you're out of your mind. no way is the US on par with those teams. the US has an inflated world ranking cause they get to regularly beat up on the rest of CONCACAF, the confedration only bettered in shittiness by OFC. the only real opposition there is Mexico. a far more apt comparison is with teams like Japan, South Korea and Australia, the C level teams, who can produce upsets and sometimes go deep into knock-out stages if the draw favours them.

[Drederick Tatum]

anyway, good work Australia. I was predicting a dull game against Japan with neither side willing to risk anything in fear of making a mistake that might cost them later on. 3-1 is a great result and will make Croatia extremely nervous. Guus Hiddink is a fantastic manager. with him on the sidelines any team has a great chance.

[Auton]

Oh, no doubt. I think Croatia's still got a good chance though... I don't know how they're going to do against brazil though.

[Planetary]

rosicky was good. ghana's defence wasn't. czech are going to quater/semis

[Planetary]

tommorow's predictions....

brazil 3-2 croatia
south korea 3-1 togo
france 2-0 switzerland

[tpk]

south korea - togo 1-0
france - switzerland 2-0
brazil - croatia 3-0

a bit risky with the brazil match but after some personal mind exploring i just have the feeling it will go down like that.

[Planetary]

i screwed up today bad. but im nailing those results tommorow.

[synch]

brazil 2-0 croatia
south korea 1-1 togo
france 1-1 switzerland

[Planetary]

brazil 2-0 croatia
south korea 1-1 togo
france 1-1 switzerland

adventurous

[Rancid_Beasties]

How about those Aussies, I was about to turn off the TV at the 75th minute, thinking we'd been completely robbed of a draw. And then Cahill comes on and dominates...mind you he gave away a blatant foul which should have been his second yellow and he woulda been sent off. Ohh well, we deserved it with 20 shots to 6.

[synch]

Always!

On a sidenote, I still haven't hooked up my ps2 :o

nope, england, italy and france are wack, b-level competition. england already proved how wack and boring they are. the italians beat ghana,, yeah thrown them a parade.

[Drederick Tatum]

nope, england, italy and france are wack, b-level competition. england already proved how wack and boring they are. the italians beat ghana,, yeah thrown them a parade.

whatever dude. I would reccommend that you stick to American sports but your local teams just suck so bad....and baseball is a joke.

[ToucanSpam]

You know nothing about football.
I've been saying that forever.

[Drederick Tatum]

^what? you're the guy who said Italy had no goalkeeping. get the fuck outta here.

[ToucanSpam]

Who the fuck are you? Some gay alias based of off a cartoon character?

[Drederick Tatum]

the fuck?

[SobaViolence]

italy's goaltending looked tight to me...
the defense kinda looked a little weak.
good showing Ghana.

[Drederick Tatum]

dude, some of that fat must be blocking the oxygen to your brain. yeah I'm an alias, of Sprewell. except that Sprewell is dead.

[Freebasser]

R.I.P. Sprewell A.F.C.

[icy manipulator]

this is a little late but AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! OI OI OI!:cool:

[synch]

italy's goaltending looked tight to me...
the defense kinda looked a little weak.
good showing Ghana.
Nesta just came back from an injury, Zambrotta is still injured and Lippi forgot to bring a decent right back. And a proper back-up for Zambrotta.

Who am I kidding, Zambrotta is the only wingback we have nowadays :( He's world class, but injured at the moment.

Still, I'd rather see Bonera in the A team than Zaccardo and Grosso.

[synch]

nope, england, italy and france are wack, b-level competition. england already proved how wack and boring they are. the italians beat ghana,, yeah thrown them a parade.
That still doesn't make your lot better than third grade.

If you want some confirmation on how they are rated check the seedings.

[Otis Driftwood]

nope, england, italy and france are wack, b-level competition. england already proved how wack and boring they are. the italians beat ghana,, yeah thrown them a parade.

Yeah, they are boring. But the US team is just laughable.

This is about soccer (I HATE THAT WORD!) not about invading countries or NASCAR racing. So stop being so deluded!

[Planetary]

Always!

On a sidenote, I still haven't hooked up my ps2 :o

well fucking do it then!!

[tpk]

saying that italy has bad goaltending is just wrong. even though buffon has been out for some time he's still considered to be one of the best. even though he hasn't fully returned to 100% i'd still say he's above avarage of goalkeepers in the world cup, hince not bad.

anyway 1-0,2-0,3-0 please.

[Planetary]

i'd say he is still one of the best goalkeepers about
and still not in his 30's. or mayby he's 30. still. not that old for a keeper.

some dodgy predictions you got goin on there tpk.

[Calimero jr.]

brazil 4-2 croatia
south korea 2-1 togo
france 2-1 switzerland (might end in a draw 1-1 as well)

[Junker]

Can the goal keeper just pick up the ball & run down to the other side & throw it in the other goal or does he have to stay in his little box?

See my dear Scumbag. Thats why the sport is called Football. Can you understand that? Foot + ball?

Why you north americans call 'Football' a sport where you rarely use your feet?

[Junker]

In time:

Brazil 3 x 0 Croatia
France 2 x 0 Swiss
Togo 1 x 1 South Korea

[Drederick Tatum]

Brazil 3 - Croatia 1. Brazil are anything but secure at the back, but their counterattack is still the best in the world and hits Croatia at least twice against the run of play.

France 2 - Switzerland 0. Up and coming Switzerland lose respectably to a score that could have been much more one-sided in years past.

South Korea 2 - Togo 0. Will Togo be coached by a guy who just resigned a few days ago? Koreans don't care.

[Otis Driftwood]

Be to the Kay 2 to Zer0
EF to the Sizzle 2 to Zer0
T to the South Kizzle Zero to the Twiz2le

[roosta]

TOGO!!!!

[Drederick Tatum]

attn: Togo. lets see some attacking. I know you're 1-0 up but quit defending so deep. it's boring and you're making my prediction look bad.

[Otis Driftwood]

Korea equalizes...

[Junker]

Korea equalizes...

Korea Wins!!!

Nice second goal!

[Extra Cheese]

That still doesn't make your lot better than third grade.

If you want some confirmation on how they are rated check the seedings.

the seedings are crap dude, mexico is a 1 seed, theres your proof.

[Extra Cheese]

Yeah, they are boring. But the US team is just laughable.

This is about soccer (I HATE THAT WORD!) not about invading countries or NASCAR racing. So stop being so deluded!

if its about soccer then keep it about soccer instead of cheap jabs about the country, you dont seem me saying its about soccer not smelly foreigners or low GDP so stop being so deluded.

[synch]

Seriously giving you some friendly advice here, not trying to be pissy.

First of all try not saying stuff as if it were true instead of your opinion, you'll get less annoyed responses from people.

Second of all keep things in perspective, putting the US on the same level as England, France and Italy gives the impression that you don't have much knowledge about the teams involved.

Last but not least, if you give your opinion about something, support it with some facts or some personal views, but don't just throw statements out there.

Do that and people will be less annoyed at you.

Or alternatively, do what you want, but don't be surprised if you keep getting shit for your opinions.

[Jadge Fucking 1]

france just out-sucked by les suisses and rightfully so. total lack of communication.. every game would be better if strikers regularly "did the crouch" i.e. danced like a fucking robot. this is an ideal way to communicate in the modern game, and leads to hat-tricks. brazil v croatia should be better in 20 minutes, observe as both sides bodypop their way to a repeat performance of the opening game.

[tpk]

some dodgy predictions you got goin on there tpk.i wouldn't say that. south korea - togo 1-0 was, to me, expected. did not count on togo scoring. but south korea ended up winning the game afterall so at least the winner prediction was correct.

the french winning by 2-0 was maybe a bit too optimistic. i was actually suspecting a 0-0 scenario but that's always a very unstable state.

and well brazil - croatia 3-0, 1-0 half time right now. usually in this sort of state, when brazil got the lead, i'd say it usually ends with a couple of more goals. perhaps one for croatia as well but i'll just hope to nail 3-0!

[venusvenus123]

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drederick Tatum]

man, France fail to score. this does not bode well for Les Bleaus. they could come second in their group, but South Korea's pace might even wobble those old legs and dump them out of the World Cup. Henry needs to take charge.

does anyone know where you can get online highlights?

[Planetary]

umm. mayby i'll put a li'l bet on for thursdays games....

ok lets get tommorow's predictions under way.

spain 1-1 ukraine
tunisia 1-2 saudi arabia
germany 2-1 poland

[CJM]

form what i saw of the Brazil-Croatia match, i was a bit disappointed with Brazil. the Croats were controlling the ball, and often in the Brazilian zone. maybe they stepped it up in the 2nd, but i was showering.



i havn't been watching much of this cup, cause i'm just not getting the same vibe. I liked it better when it was on in the early mornings (1am).

[roosta]

France broke my heart. They are acting like a bunch of spoilt children, they need to stop quaralling and work as a team, or they're gonna have another disaster of a tournament.

[icy manipulator]

so what was the brazil croatia score in the end? 2 - 0?

[Planetary]

1-0

[mikizee]

i was thinking that australia was gunna be slaughtered by brazil next sunday, but now im not so sure. brazil wasnt as attacky as i thought theyd be. we will still most likely get beaten, or it will be a draw.

1-1 or 2-1

[Calimero jr.]

Thank you Switzerland and France for such a boring game. Two teams just too scared to dare something, 0 - 0 is just the logical score.
I spoke about portuguese fans celebrating for their short victory the other day....at least they won. Wen I saw swiss fans celebrating for not losing against France I feel really ashamed....LOSERS (n)

[Lyman Zerga]

yeah it was the lamest game so far
even the lamest game EVER

[Otis Driftwood]

every game would be better if strikers regularly "did the crouch" i.e. danced like a fucking robot.

After seeing that I expected to see a spazzed out funny Crouch all the time. In Englands first match he looked like a cross btw an english butler /actor and a version of Lord Steven Regal that just got off the rack...:mad: They may have relied a bit heavily on his ball distribution....

[tpk]

i still think brazil didn't disappoint at all. they were playing against the best team in their group that are well known for their good defensive play and croatia put in a great effort to try and control the game. brazil will easily win against australia and japan and go out with 9 points for sure.

todays games i have no idea about. not really into the teams playing tonight so i'm just gonna go with luck today.

spain - ukraine 2-1
tunisia - saudi arabia 1-0
germany - poland 2-0

[Calimero jr.]

yeah it was the lamest game so far
even the lamest game EVER

Yep, worst game since 1930.

[Tomtomtom]

yeah it was the lamest game so far
even the lamest game EVER

Yeah, it smells like the 2002 disaster. Once again Henry did NOTHING. Actually he never did anything with les Bleus, just good with Arsenal. (Who remembers him at Juventus??)

Ribery was the only one playing with passion, but this fool is too shy in front of the goal.

But we can beat Korea and Togo. We're gonna be qualified with Switzerland.

[Calimero jr.]

But we can beat Korea and Togo. We're gonna be qualified with Switzerland.

Honestly I dunno about Switzerland. They can do it, but they're usually so great at screwing up that they might not pass the first round.

[Tomtomtom]

Honestly I dunno about Switzerland. They can do it, but they're usually so great at screwing up that they might not pass the first round.

Hey, France is in the same group than Switzerland, so... everything is possible for you guys! :D

[icy manipulator]

tonight's prediction, shevchenko 3 spain 2

TPK Said::still think brazil didn't disappoint at all. they were playing against the best team in their group that are well known for their good defensive play and croatia put in a great effort to try and control the game. brazil will easily win against australia and japan and go out with 9 points for sure.


Brazil played pants!! as for Ronaldo! well hes putting on the weight! disappointing game! but saying that all the big teams are not doing as good as they should! but there 2nd games i should imagine will be good!!

England have a strong team this year! & I think they could & will win it!!!

i figure if we play ordinary, 2 - 0 brazil
if schwarzer has a great game, 0 - 0
if kewell viduka and cahill play fucking awesome on top of that, and kaka and ronaldihno come down with a fatal illness 1 - 0 australia

[Planetary]

i think a win for aus if most most most unlikely. but hey, we can hope.

[Planetary]

well, my spain prediction is wrong already...

[roosta]

performance of the tournament so far from Spain.....

my mates bet of Spain to win WC/Villa to be top scorer (125-1) is'nt looking THAT crazy :D

but really, im digging Spain, great performance.

czech republic were better.

the Tunisia - Saudi Arabia match was a good match. i was pissed at the Tunisian goal at 93', though.

ok ladies, let's get tommorow's game predictions under way...

ecuador 2-1 costa rica
england 3-0 trinidad and tobago
sweden 1-2 paraguay

COME ON ENGLAND!

ecuador 1. costa rica 0.
england 17. trinidad & tobago 0.

you seriously think sweden are going to lose to paraguay?

[roosta]

czech republic were better.

its about the opposition

ukraine are better than usa!


go on espana!

[Yeti]

I still don't understand why an offensive player can't get behind the last defender. Wouldn't it improve scoring? Isn't a defender's job to not let an offensive player get behind them? I say abolish offsides.

[Freebasser]

It means more skill is required to time a run correctly and make the defence look stupid and as such the goal is more deserving of applause.

I'd rather see a game finish 1-0 with the goal coming from a perfectly timed run than a 15-12 goalfest where every single goal was tapped in by somebody standing around inside the goalkeepers area waiting for anyone who can kick a ball straight to get it to his feet/head.

Plus it would be kind of a shit sport if you could just camp in the goal area for the full 94mins.

[Yeti]

Point taken Freebasser. Maybe they should call the defensemen roamers.

[Planetary]

you seriously think sweden are going to lose to paraguay?
yes.

and roosta, i don't think ukraine are better than USA. as much as i don't like to admit.

[HAL 9000]

Ecuador 2 - 0 Costa Rica
England 4-1 T&T
Paraguay 2 - 0 Sweden

[Extra Cheese]

england should be up 4-0 right now,, they're really blowing some great opportunities

[Freebasser]

So that Trinidad and Tobago chance that was crossed off the line (the best chance of the match by far) counts for nothing then?

England have been playing hoof it and hope for almost the entire match so far. 4-0 my left nipple.

[adam_f]

Man, Spain is really... good. They kicked that ball hard yesterday. And they placed that ball in the proper area of the net where the goalie wasn't. They sure did well.

[Freebasser]

Adam, I'm beginning to think that that yarn about you being America's number one buff on football was all a big fat lie.

[adam_f]

No, no, mi amigo. I was merely stooping to the low FUTBALL intelligence level of the common American. I loves me a FUTBALL match.

[Freebasser]

I think you might be getting confused with FOOSBALL :(

[adam_f]

Nein, nein. Ich liebe Fußball!

best chance was crouch right in front of the goal being all doofey. lots of their shots on goal were weak they should have scored more than once

[tpk]

i'm getting some great results here..

put money on

ecuador - costa rica 2-0 / ended 3-0
england - trinidad/tobago 2-0 / ended 2-0
sweden - paraguay 2-1 / will most likely end 1-0 or 2-1

for those betting against sweden, that ain't gonna happen.

[Planetary]

2-0!! get in!

if they get the credit then i think they deserve it! if they fake moves then i tihnk they deserve it!!!

COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Jadge Fucking 1]

i just beat cameroon 6-0 on fifa 99 (as england). micheal owen hattrick! three quid says i beat argentina 2-0 in the next game.

anyone play pro evo 5?

[tpk]

yeah..just won a whole lot of cash. word.

sweden - paraguay 1-0

[SobaViolence]

so T&T have to beat paraguay, scoring at least twice
while england has to beat sweden, while not allowing any goals.

c'mon, bitches!

ps. the so-called 'group of death' has been rather boring this time around...

[roosta]

i can't wait til a really good side kick the piss out of england!
they were really poor.


the match v sweden should be a cracker, but if it is too see who plays ecuador/germany and the loser would be better off, it could be a case of two sides trying to lose a match, which would be funny, cuz both seem to be quite good at being not very good. what am i rattling on about i don't fucking know

WORLD CUP!!!!!!

[tpk]

it could be a case of two sides trying to lose a match, which would be funny, cuz both seem to be quite good at being not very good. what am i rattling on about i don't fucking know

[Jadge Fucking 1]

i only saw the first half, which by the end was pretty much the most brutal treatment i've ever seen. 24 passes leading up to the third goal! look the fuck out. argie bargies in the final, vs. brazil.

[b i o n i c]

Even though the score was really 7-0,

out of these "6" goals... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeRK8oOHY2E)

this one was THE best (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoL8Lr9LVM4)

[monkey]

im such a douche, i turned on the TV just as the match was ending. :(

[icy manipulator]

poor old ivory coast. they played a fucking brilliant game last night. they should've gone thru the round of 16. if only Germany didn't have the easiest fuicking pool there is :rolleyes:

[Freebasser]

this one was THE best (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoL8Lr9LVM4)

Personally, I thought Tevez's goal was better.

[Junker]

Personally, I thought Tevez's goal was better.

Me too. (y)

[mikizee]

yeah me too. i was drinking down the bay hotel at glenelg and they put on the telly when it was 3-0, and somehow the goals looked more spectacular the drunker i got. very entertaining game in that respect.

[tpk]

i gotta say the cambiasso goal is definitely one of the nicest so far in the tournament. tavez's goal was up there too, but with like 26 passes, and a finish like that, it's just something else. watching that youtube video reminds me of playing like EA sports FIFA world cup 98 which i used to play alot. that's usually how computer games like that would go down. just wicked fine play.

but yeah you can't really compare the two goals. tavez's was all about induvidual perfection, cambiasso's was all about team perfection.

[Mr. Smacktackle]

The official 'World Cup' shittalk thread!! Alright!!!(y) (y) (y)


Go Croatia!!

I think we played against Brasilians better than any other team will on this World Cup. We covered them all over, plus had some good chances. It should been a draw, but we're satisfied anyway! And we got the best fans!!

aye, i've been back on fifa 98 and 99 lately. it's stupid how every pass is perfect, no matter how long range.

just watched a bbc mini-docu on the socceroos aka aus., their fans know nothing.. they're all like "yeha bring on BRAZIL!" good luck tru-POMs

you're the only team to play against them so far. Australia vs Croatia will be interesting. but i think we'll kick some croatian ass and make it into the round of 16(y)

I sincerely hope your right. I hope those fucking players show tomorrow against Australia they know how to play football. Cause the Croatia game was awful. Those bastards were walking on the field.

[SobaViolence]

Ghana! (y)

[xavito]

Things are getting tough for Italy...

[Yeti]

OK, you guys have drawn me in and I am watching the USA vs Italy match.
There seems to be alot of yellow cards and 1 really cheap red card against the US in the 1st half. I am a bit disenchanted with this "pussified" officiating.
Also, the US needs more Italians to score goals for them to win.

[monkey]

this is fuckin hilarious.

the bf explains it like this: it's like watching little kids (the us) play adults (italy) and the adults are trying to be nice to the kids (scoring goals for the us) but theyre getting sick of the lack of organizations of the kids.

[SobaViolence]

that's pretty on the money.

now ghana has to beat the italians...

[GetYourWarOn]

this is fuckin hilarious.

i thought the 2 teams were pretty even. in fact you could even make the argument that the u.s. outplayed the italians in every aspect of todays game....unless of course you count the number of times a player is carted off the field on a stretcher as an "aspect of the game."

[GetYourWarOn]

and in the spirit of italian soccer i just dove across my floor as i posted that.

[Justin]

The Italians do have cooler jerseys..

[Drederick Tatum]

what a crazy couple of matches. Group E has been blown wide open. the next game for each team is massive. Italy vs Czech Republic to see who goes through. it'll be an awesome game.

[tpk]

i really hope ghana beats the us. the us played a lot better than italy during the first half, and well second half was just something else. like the commentator described the last ten minutes, it's like watching a boxing game at the 11th round. both teams were just beat after running back and forth back and forth. anyway us played good, italy were alright. was hoping to see us beat italy but i put money on a 1-1 game so at least i got some money out it.

anyway, hopefully ghana beats the us cause their games against italy and czech republic were both impressive. i was pretty confident they were gonna beat the czechs so that was nice to witness.

1. italy
2. ghana

that'd be nice.

[dancin2beasties]

the red card on US was complete bullshit, tough call cause he was just barely late with the tackling but still, a yellow card was all it needed i think. italy was fallin down and whining all over the place today.

[tpk]

the red card on US was complete bullshit, tough call cause he was just barely late with the tackling but still, a yellow card was all it needed i think. italy was fallin down and whining all over the place today.nah i wouldn't say that. to me that looked like an obvious red card. players crush their legs from such tackles. besides, i've seen a lot of red cards for situations like that. before i saw the replay though i was a bit skeptic but then it just became clear.

[Lyman Zerga]

italy/usa was my favorite game so far
that play had everything!

[Jadge Fucking 1]

haha three red cards in the first hour.. jesus! when the first american got sent off you could see their coach mouthing "fock yoo maan". classic.

good link from the tatum, bumped (http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/v/)

todays predictions--

japan 2-3 croatia
brazil 2-1 australia
france 1-2 south korea

[tpk]

croatia - japan 1-0
brazil - australia 3-1
france - south korea 1-2

[tpk]

You don't know jack shit, pat.the winnings tell me otherwise sucker.

the U.S. totally outplayed italy. trying an offsides trap on the goal was kind of stupid of the U.S. and also eddie pope was daydreaming on that goal and was lost. but the U.S. had a really good game. the straight red card for mastroeni was ridiculous, a hard tackle is the equivalent to a flagrant flying elbow to the grill??? the second yellow on pope was questionable to say the least but he has to be more careful since he already has one and because the ref already proved that he was gonna be a douche bag in calling the game.

the U.S. only had 9 players out there so if someone gets hurt or cramps up and is out of play for even the smallest amount it can mean bad news BUT i think fucking bruce arena had to use his last substitution. the U.S. players are completely dead out there as are some italians and he saves the last sub on the bench???????

i'm hearing a lot of americans shitting on kasey keller, kasey keller is really, really good. The best goalie in the world would not have stopped those 3 goals by the czechs, those were really caused the U.S.'s scared play and poor defense on those plays, the italian goal was a missed assignment by eddie pope right in front of the goal. Keller one of the best in the world but his performance in the first game isnt his fault.

[Tzar]

half time... cmoooonnn aussies!

i don't think brazil will score 3 on us.

[Tzar]

:( oh well

[Planetary]

yeah you were unlucky.

[paul jones]

nevermind, the croatians will be a fucking walkover!(y)

[sercomdj01]

I really wanted the ivory coast to go through. i personally think the winner will be either argentina or germany.

yeah, arena not using his last substitution was a little odd to say the least. ..and that's a good point about pope getting tossed. once it became clear that the ref was handing out yellows and reds like they were currency, everyone on the field should have taken note and used a more cautious approach.

[SobaViolence]

HENRY!!!


LES BLEUS!!

:D

[Justin]

im gonna go buy the FIFA 2006 game today.

Thanks to watching the world cup

[Tomtomtom]

France-South Korea: 1-1


Worst game ever.
The french team is the worst team of the tournament.

[paul jones]

France

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[jackrock]

damn, i was looking forward to watching australia game today, but i fell asleep :(

[franscar]

France

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(y) (y) (y)

[Rancid_Beasties]

Australia got robbed. We had so many chances in the second half, in reality it should have been 3-3 I reckon. Dida is an amazing goal keeper even though hes been around forever. That save from Brescianos volley was pretty bloody good.

[Tzar]

the first brazilian goal was good but the second one was just bollocks, heh pure unluckyness.

we did have a lot of chances. i reckon if we had brought on kewell before half time, we coulda scored. but having said that, brazil could've scored more seeing as we had a more attacking setup after half time.

[Justin]

well at least you aussies have the us open championship:)

[Tzar]

we have alot of things; the world cup of soccer just ain't one of them. ;)

[Junker]

C'mon....the second goal was nice. Fred did everything and still finished scoring. Lucky bastard. Went to the game on the '86 and played a lot better than the fat Ronaldo.
Robinho in the starting eleven instead of Ronaldo!!!! Please!!! :o

EDIT: PS: Good luck against Croatia Australia!!! At least a draw and you'll go through (Cause I really dont think we are going to lose or draw with Japan).

[xavito]

Are you guys ready for Spain tonite? ;-)

[Junker]

Yeah...............Spain 3 - 0

[Calimero jr.]

1 - o for Switzerland....
But they started playing the same old uninspired shitty football since they scored...(n)

[adam_f]

According to what other people tell me, America got the shaft against Italy, and that includes one huge FOOTBALL fan from England that works with me.

[Calimero jr.]

2 - 0 for Switzerland.
They decided to play more offensive in the second half and it brought us the second goal. Good that if wee keep a two goals advantage we'll be qualified in case we draw against Korea !! (y)

[xavito]

We suffered a little...but at the end we won! Spain 3 - Tunisia 1

[tpk]

damn it. my bet was switzerland - togo 2-0 and spain - tunisia 2-1. oh well close enough.

tomorrows games:

poland - costa rica 1-0
germany - ecuador 3-1
paraguay - trinidad/tobago 2-0
sweden - england 1-1

[Planetary]

oi! i'm the official score prediction starter.

ecuador 2-1 germany
costa rica 1-1 poland
sweden 1-3 england
paraguay 2-1 trinidad&tobago

[Junker]

oi! i'm the official score prediction starter.

ecuador 2-1 germany
costa rica 1-1 poland
sweden 1-3 england
paraguay 2-1 trinidad&tobago

No way England will score 3 times against Sweden. This game will end 0-0 or maybe 1-1

[tpk]

oi! i'm the official score prediction starter.

ecuador 2-1 germany
costa rica 1-1 poland
sweden 1-3 england
paraguay 2-1 trinidad&tobagono offense man but that's some messy predictions. :)

1. i doubt ecuador will beat germany with about 90% of the arena filled with germans and the germans' pretty much solid play so far. ecuador have just been on a nice winning streak. they still are the weaker team, and that, by alot.

2. england would never score 3 goals against sweden since sweden isn't the country that you score three goals on. pretty solid defensive play, and one of the better goal keepers in the world cup. and neither teams have to win this game to advance. especially not england. and especially not by two goals.

3. i doubt trinidad will be able to score. they basically have no offensive play what so ever. if they do score, i bet it's mostlý by luck.

[Planetary]

hey, we'll see homes...

[icy manipulator]

well at least the ukraine had a fucking good redemption game

[paul jones]

there's people on the pitch..............

[Auton]

I just cant wait for the ghana-usa game on thursday. usa is going to get owned 2-0

[Otis Driftwood]

Here's some fan impressions from my hometown soccerclub boards:
http://www.roteteufel.de/showthread.php?t=9997
My fave: Korea!

ecuador 1-1 germany
costa rica 0-2 poland
sweden 0-0 england
paraguay 1-0 trinidad&tobago

[Otis Driftwood]

You might be happy to hear that this other guy on the forum is goin bonkers over the Swedish girls... ;-)

[roosta]

According to what other people tell me, America got the shaft against Italy, and that includes one huge FOOTBALL fan from England that works with me.

they lied.

US made amends for the Czech game and they were better than the Italians, but they certainly didn't get the shaft. They technically didn't even score.

you probably know it as a hottie. someone attractive. someone fit!

[Otis Driftwood]

Hell yeah! 3:0 vs Ecuador! I hope Klose will be this Cups topscorer!
Now, I want Germany to play England rather than Sweden, beat a big name and get a morale boost. So far the Brits relied mostly on Crouch while there is no way to prepare for Sweden, who might just pull a rabbit outta the hat...

[Junker]

Damn!
Germany kicked Ecuador's ass!!!
Nice game.

I hope Sweden beat England. I wanna see Germany vs England in the next stage.

[b i o n i c]

ecuador blows

[Tompz]

Englend goes ahead, sweden equalizes within the last five minutes. A 1-1 score.

We need to get Larsson going. He should score today. Nice header prefferably.

[alexandra]

i have a feeling england will beat us 2-1 :=/

hope i'm wrong

[Planetary]

i hope you're right.

COME ON ENGLAND

[adam_f]

Did America play Ghana yet?

Did America play Ghana yet?

I obviously want england to win. But for all the sweedish people i like on board i hope its a good match (y) :cool:

WICKED GOALS

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!

[roosta]

wayne rooneys a petulant little shit, isnt he?

and - hahaha- his replacement SCORED A GOAL. that's how you DO IT WAYNE, don't believe your own hype.

[thegoodmrbrodie!]

i hope they give that last goal to mellberg. beards unite!

[Mr. Smacktackle]

England vs Sweden, fantastic match, congratulations to both teams!!!!(y) (y) (y)

[sercomdj01]

i though joe cole was the star of the show for england. He brought the team to life with his darting runs in the first half. No way in fuck will england win the cup though.

[Junker]

Today we'll have a fucking awesome match: Argentina x Holland.

I hope Holland kicks Argentina's ass.

[Planetary]

i think argentina holland will end up being boring

[Otis Driftwood]

Yeah, that's always a possibility with two teams perceived as on an "über" roll...
Here's hoping otherwise, but a 0:0 is more likely than a 3:3 and I'm also predicting few if any yellow cards...:mad:

[Planetary]

joe cole. best solo goal of the tourney, if not best overall. shambolic defending in the last 5 by england. we panicked. :(

oh well. we got the result we needed.

[venusvenus123]

so what're our chances now that michael owen is out the picture?

[Lyman Zerga]

am i the only girl on earth who thinks that crouch looks cute?

[sercomdj01]

I want holland to win, cause argentinia look dangerous! I think its not strikers but the defence that will let england down.

[burbboi]

GERMANY. They are kicking a$$ and taking names. Looking forward to that Argentine vs. Holland this morning!

[adam_f]

I heard that one guy for one of the good teams got hurt and probably won't play the rest of the tournament. That's no good.

[franscar]

so what're our chances now that michael owen is out the picture?

Somewhere between slim and none.

[Extra Cheese]

Somewhere between slim and none.


exactly what they were with owen.

[franscar]

exactly what they were with owen.

Around about the same.:(
