spa2k Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I love World Cup :D Can it get much better spending the day watching (mostly) quality football? Really looking forward to seeing Brazil tonight, after the game im pretty sure you can tell wether they will win this year also. And lets hope for the love of god Sweden puts it together against Paraguay. The only part i disagree with here is the Sweden putting it together.....gotta be looking for a draw there.

qdave Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 indeed!!! thats probably the most boring game so far. swiss just dont an probably cant attack. frence defence is too good except in that 1 moment when swiss almost scored. at least french attack, but its lame nontheless. and that yellow card for swiss was unfair.

qdave Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 swiss probably thought that they need to score as muchyellow cards as possible and not to make goals :p anyway after this bore i cant wait to see brazil vs croatia :) GO CROATIA!!!!

L3thal Veteran Posted June 13, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 13, 2006 This was by far one of the most abysmal games so far. France showed little to no offense and Switzerland had two chances to score and missed them. Now...go Croatia :shifty: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/15/#findComment-587602357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted June 13, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 13, 2006 I am not stating they are going to win, I am just stating that I am supporting them; there's a difference. Talking about Suker, that '98 Croatian team was one hell of a team, I can tell you. It was a shame they didn't get a better finish than 3rd. By the way, what makes you think Brazil will "obliterate" them? Have you seen all the games so far? There have been no blowouts, except the US game, and if you have forgotten, it took Brazil the final game of the qualifying round to even make it to the World Cup.

Maybe because I think Ronaldhino is the best player since a very long time (I am talking decades) tho I know one player cant beat a whole team.

I am sorry, but Brazil has too many "stars" and Ronaldinho will not do his crazy stunts in this game. I compare Brazil to Real Madrid; they have all these world stars and they never get anywhere because they play individually and not collectively.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 13, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 13, 2006 Well, I am glad someone that understands soccer and the way Brazil's team is formed understands. How about Barcelona? Barcelona has never had as many world stars at once as Real Madrid has. Do you remember Figo, Raul, Zidane, Ronaldo, and Roberto Carlos all on one team? Barcelona has never had a team of that caliber. Real Madrid sure got far with that team :whistle: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/15/#findComment-587602443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

djpnuemo Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 has there been an abundant amount of bookings so far this tournament??? (i've only been following soccer for two world cups, about 6 years.) seems like a lot. countdown to brazil v croatia! :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/15/#findComment-587602458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compare Brazil to Real Madrid; they have all these world stars and they never get anywhere because they play individually and not collectively. LOL, Brazil are the champions of the world so they are getting somewhere. They are nothing like Real Madrid, wich is a club made for selling so they get many stars even if the position they play is already covered, brazil plays for the glory of the country and for getting a raise in they paychecks (like all WC teams do) :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/15/#findComment-587602462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted June 13, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 13, 2006 I agree, MEMO. I was just stating the fact that people here think Brazil are going to "destroy" every team they play because of the players they have, which isn't the case. If Brazil wins, its because they played as a team, if they lose, is because they get too greedy with the ball. Either way, Brazil in 2002 didn't play top competition in that tournament compared to other teams and in my opinion, they did not, in any way, deserve that win against Turkey in the semi's. If you guys are wondering, they played against China, Belgium, Costa Rica, Turkey (twice), and the only two legitimate teams they played all tourney long were Germany and England. That was a breeze.
