Hungarian Salami Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Don't expect Argentina and Ivory Coast to make good match. I really want an european team to win the cup. Go Europe!

M.F.D.K Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 It was a weak performance from both sides, Beckham's free kick was a lucky one although if "Gammar" or whatever his name was didn't touch the ball the chances were most likely it would of been a goal. Not an enjoyable match i must say, yesterdays first match was more interesting, anyway England won :D thats what matters. I really felt sorry for Crouch, he got so many warnings, he can't help it coz he is too tall for a football player but some of the warnings were silly.

BigGiantHead Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Can't believe Trinidad & Tobago managed a draw. They were defending the whole of the 2nd half, and their goalie played really well.

qdave Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 what a bloody dissapointment for sweden! i am mad. so many chances but they never really got into the game. t&t goalie was great indeed. luckily the game was fun to watch.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 10, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 10, 2006 Very fun game, indeed. Funny thing is that both goalies in that game are the subs. Trinidad showed up to play and weren't scared. Unfortunately, they had to defend more often when they were reduced to ten men. England? Pfft...what a horrific showing from them. Now its time to watch the Ivory Coast possibly upset Argentina :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/6/#findComment-587592433 Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted June 10, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 10, 2006 I dislike them too, but this one was quite entertaining comparing them to other rubbish games (England - Paraguay).

Captain_Wang Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I dislike them too, but this one was quite entertaining comparing them to other rubbish games (England - Paraguay). It was Sven's reserved Italian tactics that made it dull from a pro-England p.o.v. Our players played very high quality football I feel, ecspecially with the ref making the decisions that he did making our lives difficult every oppurtunity he could.

Quick Shot Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 VERY interesting poll. I would have said that Germany has a better chance of winning the world cup then England since they are playing at home and the way they played four years ago. And yeah of course majority is going for Brazil. what's new? haha Now I'm not really expecting anything great from Czech Republic. As you might have heard, they are having a hard time with their players getting injured this year and well, they aren't getting any younger, that team is getting old and I think dried out. But we'll have to see how they do against Italy. I don't think they have to worry about the United States. This country isn't into this game enough to go far..

NoneAvail Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Dame... Brazil is going to win the cup... I just wished Turkey was in the world cup... they had to **** up... But over all. Brazil and Turkish soccer teams are the best in the world.

Quick Shot Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Turkey? well before the world cup they were #14 but because they didn't make it they'll probably go down to the 30's. and i don't think it's alright to compare brazil and turkey. lol. sounds kinda funny to me Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/6/#findComment-587592627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 LOL, I respect your opinion, but almost al sports are like that: (the way I see it) Football (Original one the one that is actually played with the foot):kick kick kick, goal foul kick kick.. repeat Baseball: strike, strike ball, strike hit repeat American Football (1st down 2nd down 3down kick..repeat till someone messes up and touch down) Box punch punch punch The thing is that all sports are like that, when you are a fan you see more than the kicks the hits or the punches, you see the passion and the beauty of the game, the colors of your club or the flag of your country . and of course the mighty sensation of scoring a goal in your oponent face GOOOOOOOLLLL, GOOOOOOAAAAALLL... GO WORLD CUP, GO MEXICO GO FOOTBALLL!!!! Touche. To be fair though, I don't like American Football either. I guess I just like sports with a good flow to them, not ones with constant stops in play. I guess that's why Basketball and Ice Hockey are my faves. Going a hour with no goal and barely even any shots on net is not exciting to me :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/6/#findComment-587592628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.F.D.K Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Now thats what you call an enjoyable football, wicked game Arg vs Ivory Coast, 2:0 to Argentina. But i have to say Ivory Coast are really good, i have no doubts that they will not score at least one goal, they getting so many chances.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 10, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 10, 2006 Argentina does not deserve to be ahead by two goals. Hell, I don't even think they deserve be up at all. I sure hope Ivory Coast comes out in the second half and tries to tie it up. Argentina's defense is not as good as it looks. Ivory Coast reminds me of Senegal from the 2002 World Cup.
