Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

Wasn't my type of game, per say. Nonetheless, the best player in the field, without a doubt, was Robben.

The Netherlands could have scored a couple more goals if Robben had just passed the ball more than he did. Sure he was fantastic on the day, but he should pass more. The Serbs surprised me, they played really well in the 2nd half.

@ BigGiantHead, agreed. Robben did have some nice opportunities but he played like a hog for most of the game.

I can't believe Poland lost so damn badly to Ecuador. Our stupid coach completely screwed up the squad, took off the two best players (scored 17 goals together in the qualifying round) and we beat Ecuador 3-0 last friendly :/ Poland really has no chance now, just like last World Cup - we qualify and then we screw up majorly. Ah well, at least we scored 3/4 goals for Germany against Costa Rica :p

Anyways, the game that surprised me most was Sweden vs. Trinidad + Tobago. What a pathetic draw. Both teams had amazing chances but Sweden was obviously dominating the game and the Trinidad fans were cheering their hearts out when the game was over. And then England, Portugal and the Netherlands both only scored a single goal each in their matches? Very surprising, imho. The biggest match to come is tomorrow... Czech+U.S will be great to watch :yes:

australia are playing very well.. japan have seem to have lost their pace since the start.. but i think its a 50/50 game anyway..

EDIT: that was NOT a goal.. the goalie was clearly fould by the jap player.. :no:

Aussie goal at the 43rd minute of the 2nd half to basically win it for Australia. Wow, what a great goal. Go aussies!

Edit: And there goes the 3rd one. Japan had it controlled but just gave up the last 15-20 minutes. Now they just arent even trying.
