Yes, it was the most boring game I've ever seen

Well yes but at least it was fair game, not like how Italy won Australia I always hate their acting!

next WC boring match: Italy X Ukraine

i miss the usa94 wc.

SPAIN vs FRANCE... uf!!

I wish my team,all the luck of the world...they will need it..(and France too,to win us )

so halftime Brazil - Ghana. Brazil lead 2-0 with a 5th minute goal by Ronaldo, and a VERY questionable goal from Adriano. Ghana otherwise dominated the first half, giving Dida a hard time and only a stroke of extreme bad luck prevented them from grabbing an equaliser. The Brazilian defence has some serious problems.

My predictions are coming true. Sigh.

Wth? Do you see a pattern here? All the smaller teams are having some bad luck so far... Australia against Italy, Ecuador against England, now Ghana against Brazil. I'm surprised that Brazil are playing counter-attack.
Oh and there's no question about the second goal; Adriano was offside.

Exactly as I predicted. Shame. Brazil again score an undeserved victory against a far inferior opponent who gave them a much harder time than they should've.

Fuck Brasil! They played boring and arrogantly - what a shame, what a bad game... Too bad that Ghana wasn't able to beat them.

Nah.. France..

Oh France, can't believe they're going to the next round.

Memories of years past are coming back....or will come back on Saturday.

*screamed to death* Why, why? WHY?


EDIT: I don't have anything against France or French people. I just wanted Spain to win...ok?

^^Same here. Unbelievable that the same curse dogs Spain every time... Even if they started this tournament very well. That´s a pity.

But it´s nice that Zidane showed today that he still can play.

Well, I said it a million times. I heard some Spanish people here in Toronto saying that now they had a young talented team and that they would go far. After that 4-0 win over Ukraine, they thought that this was their World Cup. I always said that, looking at their individual players, they had nothing really. I said many times that they were overrated, and today it showed. Honestly, I don't know what people see in Raúl! IMO, he's always been mediocre. Too bad for Spain though.

Nah anyway.. Germany will beat Argentinia 6:0 on friday, so i have no reason to feel unhappy

Yeah, that is for sure one reason why they lost today that the they were too early proud of themselves. Young team is too eager... But sanyway this feels bad.

I'M SAD..
WHAT CAN I SAY ??

Well, you have two advantages: First, you are the home team, and it's estimated that there will be 70.000 Germans and 2.500 Argentines in the crowd. Without the home advantage, things could be different.
Second: It looks like our fucking coach once again will not use Tévez and Messi from the start.

And btw, the name is "Argentina".

Hmm, expect Brazil, all my favourites are already out of the game so there is only one land to support now

I think teamwork is more important than having good individual players.

Just a thought....

Yeah, Brazil have the best selection of individual players in the world and that's the only thing that's helped them stumble through each match, the individual efforts of their star forewards.

Good match from France, Zidane showed that he is still one of the best. Let's hope they play as well as that against Brazil.

As NeonVomit said, look at Brazil. Of course teamwork is very important, but its effect is limited by the quality of the individuals. Brazil, for example, is not having a good tournament, but it survives because of its individual players, since its teamwork is far from impressive.

But it's a shame, they suck! How they played was far more than arrogant. I couldn't believe it...
The only teams playing good and having some team spirit are Germany and Argentina (at least I know it from the German team ), too bad that one of them (Argentina ) has to leave after the next round.

Yes, I think we'll leave too. The conditions are not favorable for us, with you Germans playing at home and with us not using Messi, Tévez and Aimar.

So it's

Germany v.s. Argentina (tight match, Germany will squeeze through using the home advantage)

England v.s. Portugal (England will lose on penalties as tradition dictates)

Italy v.s. Ukraine (Azzuri will overpower the less experienced Ukrainian side)

Brazil v.s. France (Brazil, faced with an intimidating opponent will finally wake up and play some real football)

then

Germany v.s. Portugal (with the side rejuvinated, Portugal will barely squeeze past Germany)

Italy v.s. Brazil (An epic match, I dare not say who will win).


How are my predictions? Thoughts? I'm not much of an expert so let's hear yours!

I'm sorry to say, but these combinations are not possible. The winner of Germany-Argentina will play against Italy, and Brasil vs. England or Portugal.

Brasil was just standing around, they weren't really running, just kicking the ball around. They played like they wanted to show "hey, you are not good enough for us, why should we use some effort?". It was so fucking arrogant. I don't say that they are not good - the single players are STILL THE BEST IN THE WORLD, but the attitude they showed was so... ARGH!!!

we will kick Argentina`s ass Klose, Podolski.... one of then will shoot 2 goals! 2-0 the result

final against brazil... 4-1 because they suck!
