SoulGirl Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 no more S&M... that makes me so sad... seriously though, they got a hammering, the poor fellas. the most decisive victory so far so it bodes well for argentina and for anyone who laid a bet on roderiguez for the golden boot!
c_s_1987 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 Australia plays Brazil on Sunday. I originally assumed Brazil would win, but I have changed my mind. Now I KNOW Australia will win.
Crazy Don Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 The USA and Italy played to a 1-1 draw today despite the Americans having only 9 players on the field most of the second half, after Eddie Pope was the second US player red-carded. Meanwhile, Ghana shocked the Czech Republic 2-0 earlier today…
DiggsUK Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 Things are beginning to clarify. With 'the hand of God' in the stadium, the Argentinians are showing just why they may well win it. For the semis I predict the Argies, England (well, I have to...), Ghana and either Spain or Portugal.
edna Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 With 'the hand of God' in the stadium, the Argentinians are showing just why they may well win it. Diggs, what are you implying? Well, after all, I must admit I don´t give a bleep about football or soccer or whatever... all I hope is Spain won´t win (that would be strange...) cause each time they win an important match they break everything in town, the nice statues in the main avenue... So if Argentina wins, they can destroy the city, I won´t care, now I´m some 13.000 kms from them...
Farin Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Posted June 18, 2006 First Ghana beats the Czech Republic with 2:0 which is the first win for an African team at this World Cup and then the USA held Italy to a 1:1 draw (double ) the match wasn't really nice to look at, though dramatic (2 red cards and one yellow-red), but even with 10 vs 9 Italy couldn't score again. The USA even still have chances to get beyond the group stage... Today plays Japan vs Croatia Brazil vs Australia (Go Socceroos!) France vs South Korea
Farin Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Posted June 18, 2006 Sadly, Australia lost 2:0, but on the upside they played very good, had several chances for the 1:1 tie. Additionaly they still have the best chances for the second place in their group, since Japan and Croatia couldn't go beyond a 0:0.
DiggsUK Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Edna, I think you know... Nothing inspiring tonight, except the South Korean fans. The Aussies did well mind...
Steel2Velvet Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 The socceroos played VERY tough! A couple of errant goal shots did them in, however. More understanding of the game brought me more enjoyment in watching today. I sat with someone who spoke excellent English and knew futebol very well and he answered a lot of my questions. Enjoyed watching the USA play to a tie with the Italians. What they lack in style, they make up in spunk. The USA goalie is solid!
Uncle Joe Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 The Brazil-Australia game was very entertaining.
phil Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 As usual my Italian team is underachieving, though they are in good position to advance. That Chech team is pretty good. The US better be on their A game vs Ghana or they are done.
c_s_1987 Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 It's good to see everyone agrees that Australia did pretty well against Brazil. At least the scoreline didn't matter - unless Japan beat Brazil 3-0 or more (which is almost certainly going to happen ), Australia will qualify if they draw with or beat Croatia, but will not qualify if they lose, regardless of the scoreline.
katie_sane Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 That was a fantastic game between the Aussies and the Brazillians...we might be a little bit better than they thought? Brazil are the world champions afer all! I hope they qualify!! Go you good thing! SOCCEROOS!!
c_s_1987 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 Every team has now played 2 games, and these teams are already guaranteed to qualify for the finals: Germany (Glückwünsche!) Ecuador (Felicitaciones!) England (Congratulations!) Argentina (Felicitaciones again!) Netherlands (Gelukwensen!) Portugal (Felicitações!) Brazil (Felicitações again!) Spain (Felicitaciones yet again!) I hope my translator is reliable. Fortunately the translation was easy since more than half speak Spanish or Portuguese.

Levis Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 The only trouble with being on vacation is I can't keep track of the scores. Where will we have reached on Sunday?
Farin Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Posted June 20, 2006 Here's every result, schedules, teams information etc. On Sunday we'll have the second day of the last 16...
edna Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 I can´t see the link on my computer... and I´m working on the PC, so I´ll have to live without that information...
