Farin Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Posted June 26, 2006 I just can't believe it... Italy maybe had two shots on the goal in the second half and then 10 seconds before extra time would have started they get a penalty shot talk about bad luck...
The Seeker Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 Noo...I was all for the socceroos. They should've been vice-world champion after England, if it was up to me. (which, sadly, it isn't)
CanAm Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 CanAm, you haven't tipped against my beloved country!?!? Go Socceroos!! Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!! Are you staying up for the match, c_s?? Actually Katie, the only reason I have been cheering for Italy, is because I selected them (in an office football pool) to win it all. But to hell with my 10 bucks. GO AUSTRALIA!
blind-fitter Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 You're a bit late, mate. Italy knocked Australia out earlier on today...
DiggsUK Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 I'd like to congratulate the Portugese on their magnificent display of caution and self-control against Holland...
edna Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 I´ll have to choose tomorrow... France-Spain on one channel and Desperate Housewives on another, same hour... Of course I hope France will win, I hate it when we have megaparties on the streets at 4 am... And I will watch DH, bien sûr.
johnnyguitar Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 Ukraine v Switzerland Possibly the dullest match I've ever seen....enlivened only by the worst set of penalties ever to grace a World Cup....goodbye Switzerland....(thank god). }

Well, besides that I would have liked for Switzerland to win but somehow I got the impression they didn't want to win...
c_s_1987 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 I'd like to congratulate the Portugese on their magnificent display of caution and self-control against Holland... It's good to see a record got broken this world cup, but I didn't exactly want it to be 16 yellow cards and 4 red cards in one game. Remember Holland got 2 of those reds as well. I believe three of the reds and 10 of the yellows came in either injury time in the first half or in the first 33 minutes of the second half. I watched the replays of that period and thought "This is stupid". Couldn't agree more... Well, besides that I would have liked for Switzerland to win but somehow I got the impression they didn't want to win... Yep, those three Swiss penalties had to be the worst penalty shots ever. I never thought it was possible for a team to score 0 in a shootout.

katie_sane Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 We were robbed! That Italian player, Fabio Grosso, took a dive. Australia has been on the receiving end of some appalling refereeing. But anyways, you've still got your $10 CanAm!! I'm supporting the English from here on.
Farin Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Posted June 27, 2006 Allez, France!!!! Adieu, les Bleus!!! sorry edna, but Spain's gonna win! (but I like the graemlins)
The Seeker Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 There's enough Spanish (-speaking) teams in the world cup, but I'm for Spain nonetheless.
Steel2Velvet Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 .... alone in all the world. That's OK .... I'll have friends in my house today. ... don't need them online, I guess Go Ghana ... indeed.
Farin Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Posted June 27, 2006 .... alone in all the world. That's OK .... I'll have friends in my house today. ... don't need them online, I guess Go Ghana ... indeed. It's just too simple to go for Brazil! That's the same as saying "The White album" or "Led Zep IV" when asked for a favourite album
Steel2Velvet Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 It's just too simple to go for Brazil! That's the same as saying "The White album" or "Led Zep IV" when asked for a favourite album Yeah, but what if you were buddies with Lennon or Bonham? I heard something more like: "Ghana, please eliminate these guys before we have to face them" .... understandable.
Farin Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Posted June 27, 2006 I didn't mean that they're bad - far from it. What I wanted to say was when you ask someone for their favourite albums these two are among the most common answers. And it's the same when you ask who will win the World Cup. Mostly everybody will say Brazil is gonna win, mainly because they are one of the best teams to play... You know what I mean?
Farin Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Posted June 27, 2006 I heard something more like: "Ghana, please eliminate these guys before we have to face them" .... understandable. Yes, that could also be true...
johnnyguitar Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Half-time...Ghana doing well, unfortunate to be two down...could be two up. Second Brazillian goal a mile offside. Ghana have had no luck whatsoever....Brazil have had loads.
Steel2Velvet Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Half-time...Ghana doing well, unfortunate to be two down...could be two up. Second Brazillian goal a mile offside. Couldn't have been offsides, the ball was touched by a defender the instant before the goal was scored.
Farin Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Posted June 27, 2006 Now it's finished. Brazil won 3:0, but how they played, well...
