apinagez Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 EDIT: Lmao... Ronaldinho and Kaka came off because Carlos wanted to play more defensively since it was a 2 goal lead... Totally wrong. Parreira was giving players a chance to play in a world cup match. That's why he put in Rogerio Ceni (goalkeeper) too. Anyway, great match. Without Adriano to mess up the attack, with Juninho and a smartest Ronaldo, Brazil is unbeatable. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy next though, brace yourself :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't and I never said they would get anywhere near the final. But I was just saying I think Koller makes them a decent side and a bit unpredictable, without him they are just a bit average.

However the Czech Republic don't depend on just Koller.. they have one of the best keepers in the world (Cech), a former European player of the year (Nedved), a player with so much determination I would not believe (Rosiscky), and a handful of other players that I can't spell the names of so I won't try.. Shame about them going out though, really thought they could go all the way this year after their impressive shine in Euro 2004.

Cech, yep great goalkeeper, but isn't going to give them any spark outfield. Nedved, good for experience but is 34 now and isn't the same player he used to be. Rosicky, yep great midfielder, but that's it a midfielder. Without Koller up front to aim for, they don't look like the team they used to be.

xJakex Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Italy and Australia quarter final. I reckon that'll be a really nice game, seen some good stuff from both teams today. Plus, Baros isn't a bad forward, he just needs a partner. Bit like Heskey, but motivated. I'm Jake Milroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromagus Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Actually, this will just be the second round. The quarter finals will be the winners of these matches playing each other.

l3il2die Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Long time socceroo supporter, since 1993.. 93' Aregentina v Australia.. 97' Australia 2 nil up against Iran in about the last 20 minutes then a streaker decides to run-a-muck Iran get 2 quick goals... our hopes were dashed. 01' Urugauy, after winning the 1st leg 1-0....due to a dot shot..aka penalty shot... the away leg.. was lost 3-1 November 16th 05' Revenge is Sweet - Away leg, result 1 nil to Uruguay...half decent,nothing special.... Home leg, 1-nil, extra time...penalties, etc.. end result Australia are thru. *scarcasticly* i know you all like stories.... http://www.theworldgame.com.au/home/index.php?pid=st&cid=65502 I saved the Socceroos: Safran Some say it was the influence of crowd, others believe it was the skills of Harry Kewell or the guidance from Guus Hiddink, but TV presenter John Saffran knows the real reason the Socceroos qualified for the World Cup - the reversal of the witchdoctor's curse. Safran, who hosts an irreverent religious affairs show called Safran v God, said he learned of the curse in the late Australian captain Johnny Warren's autobiography. According to Warren, the Socceroos in 1970 asked a Mozambique witchdoctor to place a hex on their opponents Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, ahead of a World Cup qualifier. The Australians went on to win the match but they refused to pay the witchdoctor, who then cursed them to World Cup failure. While the Socceroos went on to reach the 1974 finals, Safran said the team's agonising failure at the last qualification hurdle in the three World Cups meant he wanted to take no chances ahead of the tie with Uruguay. He found a witchdoctor in Maputo, Mozambique, and was able to settle the decades-old debt and lift the curse. "I did it. I reversed the curse," Safran told SBS television. "I found a witch doctor who said he could channel the original dead witchdoctor who cursed the team so we went to the pitch where Australia played and he smeared chicken blood all over me." The result: Australia won the tie against Uruguay 4-2 on penalties and will go to the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany.

l3il2die Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Czechs deserve to go through more than Ghana, let's put it that way. Because they have more tradition? That's so ridiculous... Ghana played much better than many traditional teams, so did Ivory Coast. i second that, the african nation have a whole different ball game, a very attractive brand, attack attack attack, well, that my opinion... it could be just the bright jersey's i dont know. i think Portugal may spring out an upset over the dutch , hell it could even go down to the wire, pk's I3il2die: aka: BiRDiEAn Are Sole: Pure Def/Skiller...

apinagez Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 And Ghana was one of the teams that only got one page on the official World Cup sticker album, while the USA and Serbia and Montenegro got 2. But I feel sorry for them. They will be buldozed by Brazil, if Parreira keeps the same team next round. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people are supporting Brazil because the play the most attractive football out there, which was seen in parts of the game last night. It's how the game is meant to be played. Personally, now that T&T are out, I will be cheering for Australia and Brazil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
