Necromagus Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 0-1 victory, not a bad way to start off. It wasn't the most entertaining game they played, but by keeping their own tempo low and letting the Serbs do all of the running Van Basten really managed to get the most efficient game possible in these weather conditions.

king_dharok Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Winners: holland Runner-Up: Brazil Third Place: germany Fourth Place: south korea it happens oftenly that an "underdog" gets a good place, so i think south korea will do it good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I'm surprised not a single person placed South Korea in their top 4 :? maybe people think there are any payed off referees in this world cup. no refs were paid off. The reason S. Korea made it to the last 4 last time was that they were playing at home with a brilliant support behind them, in the humid conditions they are used to. They wont get that far this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromagus Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Angola - Portugal should be interesting. The Angolans are generally seething with rage when it comes to their former colonial opressors. If I recall correctly, their last game had to be abandoned before the 90 minutes were over because the fourth Angolan player got sent off. The score was something like 5-1 to the Portugeese at that point.

Arcticrunite Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Bad monkey, picking the Czechs to win, BAD BAD MONKEY.

RebelAssassin Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 my predictions for today.. Australia 1v2 Japan (this game will be very tight, but i think Japan might edge it) USA 1v3 Czech Republic (just cant see USA doing well this year) Italy 4v1 Ghana (i do hope Ghana win, but i just cant see it happening) also, ive had a look at the FIFA world rankings, how the hell does the USA get to 5th? also Iraq are ranked above Austria, Belgium and Scotland :shock: www.PETAkillsanimals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should realise that. Have a look at the ELO ratings for a more reliable rankings http://www.eloratings.net/ (Just scroll down a bit, on that page, the rankings are under the points exchanged bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
