World Cup 2006

[Stealth]

I think it's a big mistake to justify a defeat because of one player's absence. Sure they didn't have Koller, but Ghana attacked all the time... And Koller is not a defender but a striker, so he wouldn't have been able to do much for the Czech defence. Let's not take credit away from Ghana. From what I see, people seem to explain Ghana's victory by saying that the Czechs had a bad game, etc. I think that's unfair for Ghanians. IMO, they played much better than the Czechs and they were a very entertaining team to watch. They played a good game independently of whether the Czechs played well or not. Besides, maybe the Czechs didn't play so well because Ghana didn't allow them... And that's Ghana's merit.

Ghana will win!!

And yes, they won


Tomorrow is the game Brazil vs I don't know who

Please, tell me what team will play with Brazil??

[Stealth]

Aaarrrggghh! I said it a million times: You can get all the fixtures and info from Microsoft Scoreboard (the little program).

[Paola]

I can't download, remember that I don't have internet in my home and I've to come to a cyber...

[Stealth]

Ok, but the fixtures ARE available on the internet, from cyber or anywhere else. Anyways, Brazil is playing against Australia at 11 am Colombian time.

[Equinox]

USA is pupu. And I totally agree with Stealth in his last comment about Ghana, and I'm glad Mexico didn't do anything last time they played.

[Equinox]

then don't watch tv dude

Nope, can't do that. I have to watch the games. Plus, I personally don't watch either Univision or Telemundo...but, I don't live by myself.

Stealth, my friend, remember my words? it was just matter of time...but, in the other hand, see what a bad game Mexico played

Congratulations Argentina, the first espectacular game in the whole world cup up to now.

You were right NLC. But still, that was just one game and they were inspired. The next games won't be so easy, but I hope they maintain a satisfactory level.

Btw, there's a chance Argentina and Mexico could meet in the round of 16. We'll have to wait and see how things develop.

[NeonVomit]

Brazil 2 Aus. 0.

They seem to have gotten their act together since the last poor showing, but I'm still not convinced.

[Stealth]

Brazil played a very poor game. The second goal was just a consecuence of Australia going forward and leaving gaps in defence.

i hope that happens man, that'd be interesting, and "...may the best one go on..."

I'll be on Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium during the eights-finals. Two years ago, after Holland won the quarterfinals of the European Cup, thousands of dutch kids were shouting all the night "Huuurrrraaaa!" . Guess it will be the same this year, the've got quite a good team.

I'm just glad, it's not Holland-Germany when I'm there

WAS HORRIBLE...:puking:

[stratohawk]

England still suck at football i say, dunno how they gonna get through the next round against Ecuador or Germany!

I hope they won't!

[stratobabius]

There was a poll in some greek site, and I thought of uploading the results... The question was: After these first games, where we have seen how the teams actually play, who do you think will win?
And the results:
Argentina 42,4 %
Brasil 18,8 %
Italy 9,5 %
Germany 8,5 %
etc...
If you by any chance know greek, here's the page. http://www.in.gr/sports/default.asp

Oh, and you understand this isn't anything official.

[Stealth]

Pffff.... They are saying that about Argentina because they played well ONE game. People are too hot-blooded and get easily excited. The truth is that Argentina played a very good game against Serbia, but that doesn't mean they are going to play like that all the time. It's important to keep your feet on the ground.

[stratohawk]

yeeees, we made it again!!!! Oh guys, if we surive the next round (probably against England or Sweden), I expect a lot...

"'schlaand vor, noch ein Tor!!!!"

[dirge]

WOW!!! @ Joe Coles goal for england!

[Pikkusielu]

[Paola]

J.Coles goal was fantastic!

[stratohawk]

Germany vs. Sweden - what do you say, Jens?

[nepi]

J.Coles goal was fantastic!

It was, indeed!

[Equinox]

Am I the only person happy because Portugal beat Mexico this morning?
I really love Portugal right now.

And I am looking foward the Argentina's games later, haven't seen them play yet.

[Stratofanius]

Mexico's playing was much better than Portugal's but they lost

[Equinox]

Mexico's playing was much better than Portugal's but they lost

And I'm pretty much happy for that.

i know you meant no offense, but seriously, you are starting to piss me off dude , maybe it's the way you say things, but the reassons once you gave seem to be senseless, and more that that it seems to be something personal with mexicans, i hope i am wrong because you are a cool guy. .

@Stealth: hello....enemy!

[stratohawk]

netherlands - argentinia: 0:0 what a boring, disappointing game...

[neonlightchild]

yeah, such a boring game, and a terrible match for México next saturday :S

[Stealth]

@Stealth: hello....enemy!

We'll see how it goes on Saturday.
