World Cup

[johninblack]

Well, the teams getting ready to play Germany must be a bit more worried than they were. I thought that they look a pretty good team, they look fuul of goals however the defence look like they could be pressured into a few mistakes with superior opposition.
Good game though, quite enjoying it, about 4 mins left.

4:2

well, 2 goals.... they were sleeping at times.... 

[Appelmoes??]

So the Germans are playing like the Germans... Bad outside of a tournament, good (or at least better) in a tournament?

we'll see, mate, we'll see...

The pub where I watch all the dutch matches (I hope to be there atleast 6 times more )

(Yes, this is a topic kick )

Watching Portugal made me sad btw, I thought they would play better.

[Cyborg-Frask]

At this moment it's Holland VS Portugal....And I never had soo much fun watching a soccer game...

17 yellow cards...Man that's....INSANE. I had great fun watching Cocu just grabbing the other player and throwing him away... this wholl game makes me think of a wresteling game

No people...soccer is a very social and friends-making game....

while i'm typing:
LOL 18 yellow cards which make 4 reds in one game...Thats a new record...

hmm Holland didn't do very well and now it's all over...good bye WK and cya over 4 years again...

[Appelmoes??]

And the oscar goes to: F*ck#ng Figo!!!!
What an actor!

Seriously, how can the man live with him self after this What a wimp! This isn't soccer, this is acting! And it makes me mad as hell!

Ok, the dutch team didn't play fair too, but Figo deserves to be punnished for that fake-action so he can't play for the next 3 matches!

And Robben should have gotten a penalty, that portugese came in with two legs stretched! I mean: COME ON!!! This is soccer, not katate!

The game was really exciting, but that referee should not play any more games

[Teunis]

Unfortunately the Aussies are out. Italy was helped by the referee, he gave a very dubious penalty . I can't stand it: the 'big' soccer nations like Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy are often helped by the referees. Just my opinion  .

Totally agree. That was never a penalty.

Another actor

[debsss]

last nights game holland-portugal was totally f*cked up
i don't call that soccer anymore
finaly in the second half of the game holland began to play soccer but the portugees instead began to play some kind of theatre or so.....
Is that how the new wc should be played?? More theatre less soccer???
! really give up hope and don't wanna know who becomes the next wc winner...
The fun is over after seeying a game like that.... Damn that makes me really pissed off......

[funkster]

Good job England are not going to win anyway as they ahve been terribly dull

[maddox]

Totally agree. That was never a penalty.

Indeed. Never in a million years. 

Not for Guus, but that makes me so very mad. The past few games the referees made some pretty strange decisions. This was really bad, with yesterday as the baddest.  That Ivanov should never whistle again. 

[PH]

I wonder if they actually get actor-training... They really did their best on it! But I can't give an applause 'cos I've got my hands on my keyboard, too bad for them.

[Appelmoes??]

Next thing you know, they'll be giving the golden shoe to best acting player instead of the one that scored most goals

[debsss]

And this year... the golden shoe for best acting goes to....

FIGOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[PH]

Ok, I think we have speculated long enough about Portugal now.
We have to move on!

I think I will support Germany now.

[Teunis]

I think I will support Germany now.

You forgot your smilie  .

Seriously: they play better than I had expected, but Saturday will be their first REAL testcase against Argentina. I am very curious.

After Holland was beaten, my favourites were Spain. They are out now as well, so I have to choose an other favourite now. Germany? 

[PH]

Yeah Germany! (note the smilie) I always love how they play.
I had hoped there would be a Germany-Holland game, but it couldn't be. I love Germany-Holland games. I actually think they're quite popular.

[Teunis]

Looking forward to the match Germany - Argentina. Where is Peter? Already nervous?  May the best team win

I think this will be the best match of the tournement. Two great teams with a great history competing each other.

Indeed, i'm looking forward to the match too. 

[johninblack]

Germany v Argentina - As an englishman there is only one team I can support......Come on you REF.

[Teunis]

It was a disappointing match, especially the first half. After their goal Argentina kept on defending and they paid the price for that. Penalties, so the luckiest team won. I had expected more from this match.

Indeed, so did i. It was a disapointing match. 

Too bad Argentina lost.

[Teunis]

What do you expect from Germany - Italy? I think it is going to be a boring match. Italy will probably defend and try to score a goal in a counter. Don't know if I am going to watch the match, I was disappointed too often. I predict that Germany will win after penalties  .
