What's up with all the cheering for Brazil? It's not like they did something very special. It was the Ausies who impressed and did something special! So shut up about Brazil and cheer for Australia! Go socceroos!

 

Brazil have been doing something special for the past 50 years. 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.

 

 

 

Also, I don't think Australia deserved to score 3 times in 8 minutes on Japan.

 

Someone who has watched Brazil playing can't possibly think Australia played a better football, all they did was to drive Japan to desperation by scoring on them a goal on the last minutes and then scoring 2 more goals on a "fainted" team. Brazil, even when losing the game, was obviously going to win.

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.

 

 

 

Oh right I get what you mean... and it is true. I did personally expect better of the Czech Republic though regardless of the loss of Koller; against the USA they played a brilliant 85 minutes without him.

I don't know what it is, but something keeps telling me you "own"?

Personally, now that T&T are out, I will be cheering for Australia and Brazil

 

 

 

Of course, but what is more special, Brazil who plays a good game. Or Australia going to the second round for the first time in history.

Another horrible desciosion by the ref. First an obvious handsball made by Ukraine, no penalty. Five minutes later a schwalbe by Schevschenko (sp?) and he gives the penalty.

You're watching the wrong game :P

 

 

 

Nah kidding, Spain vs. Saudi game wasn't much anyway. I expected Spain to win by a landslide but they played their reserves instead. Oh, and good thing the ref didn't give Torres a yellow card unlike what he did with the Saudi player for diving. :-$

Yep it was a penalty. You can see the defender accidently touching Schevschenko's leg which leads to tripping him up.

 

But yeah, should have been a penalty for hand ball earlier to Tunisia.

From another angle you could really see what happened: Schevschenko stumbling over his own feet. His right feet touches his own lower part of the left leg, and that was the reason he fell.

Except the Saudi player wasn't diving, he was tripped :?

 

And Torres didn't try so hard to make it look like he was tripped as much as just fell on his own

 

 

 

but some of those yellow cards....

Yep and from an angle behind you can see the defender slightly touched Schevschenko's right leg which made it hit his left leg and trip up. :P

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 didn't mean it like that. I meant the Czechs didn't deserve to go out. I'm all for the underdogs, in fact.

Well they certainly didn't play good enough to stay in, otherwise they would still be in

30 pages, wow. I don't know very much at all about soccer, but I would say the final four are:

 

 

 

Argentina

 

Portugal

 

Ukraine

 

Spain

 

 

 

I think that makes sence based on the options. If it doesn't let me know, I tried to work through the next 2 rounds out of a strange schedule that I could hardly understand.

 

 

 

I like the way Spain plays; I think this is their year.

I'd switch Spain and Ukraine for Brazil and Italy on the top 4.

#-o Korea has been eliminated, nooo. Going for Brazil or Ghana (yes, I can dream) to win it all now, the winner of their 2nd round match should win the tourny :P

Yea, you're right. Seen it again from another different angle. :P Damn those angles.

Hopefully there will be a good ref for the last game, the ones I've seen weren't that good (France vs. Togo) (Switzerland vs. Korea)

 

 

 

Winners:Brazil

 

Runner-up:Argentina

 

Third Place:England

 

Fourth Place:Spain or Mexico

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tommorow (well, today), Mexico Vs. Argentina! Oh no!

 

 

 

And also Spain vs. France!!!

 

(somewhat off topic:)

 

Does anyone else have to listen to a commentator with an strong irish accent? I turn on anouther channel instead of watching with that guy's voice, it annoys me. I personally like to listen to it in spanish because I can't understand it too well and I lik when the scream "GOL!GOL!GOL!!"
