L3thal Veteran Posted June 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2006 Not really, I say things like they are. Argentina played very well. As a matter of fact, they played extremely well today and showed off what they are capable of. If you compare this game to their game with the Ivory Coast, it looks like its a different team. Serbia is a very good team, or at least was during the UEFA qualifying, and they got outplayed and embarrassed by Argentina. I guess we will have to see if Argentina plays the same way against Holland to see if they are the real thing. Congrats Argentinians (Y) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/23/#findComment-587611786 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to disagree on your point about comparing the Argentina performance against how they played against Ivory Coast. Against Ivory Coast, Argentina never played that bad really, it was just Ivory Coast played so well. Nevertheless they raised their game today. If you look at the strength in depth in the Argentinian squad that is pretty scary as well. Messi, Tevez and Cambiasso came off the bench today, and each player scored. Not to mention they set up a few goals between them. I am looking forward to seeing them play against Holland as well now (Y) Cambiasso's goal was impressive! The whole team took part on it! Twenty six passes made that goal. Simply amazing football :blink:.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2006 I sure hope Ivory Coast wins today and passes to the 2nd round. They played very well against Argentina and if they play the same way, I wouldn't be surprised if they won.

BlueFighter Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Impressive game from Argentina. Im pretty sure Argentina will go far this tournament. Holland - Ivory Coast will also hopefully be a nice game to watch, with Ivory Coast required to win to have a chance for advancement in the group.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2006 What a goal by Ivory Coast. I can't believe Drogba did not do better in that 2 v 1 towards the end of the game. I'm loving this match. Ivory Coast plays good football and I'm looking for their turnaround in this game.

djpnuemo Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 i'm so upset that i missed the argentina game. i saw the score when i woke up and couldn't believe. netherlands v ivory coast!! we gotta match here!! this head referee is just terrible. i missed the first ten minutes and saw him give out 3 yellows that were not worth them. just terrible officiating. ^^^ yea, drogba missed two chances. that 2v1 and the later when he should have passed it off, but it was too late, near the end of the half. he shouldn't have gotten that booking. too bad he won't be able to play next match.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2006 Yea, this Colombian referee is atrocious. He missed two penalties (for each team) and is giving yellow cards for the smallest fouls. By the way, that shot that hit the post was monstrous.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2006 Did you see many replays of players grabbing and dragging Drogba during crosses? Even the commentators said the referee forgot his whistle in the dressing room. There were at least 4 crosses in which Drogba was illegally held. FIFA clearly made a ruling this tournament that any jersey pulling inside the area is an automatic penalty. Poor, poor performance from the ref. Holland didn't do much better either.

qdave Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 worst referee so far!!! some of his decisions were too lame, an some...no action at all :D anyway 1st half was rather well played, but second one was boring. and dutchies didnt played..they just defended themselves for like 30 mins. terrible. they will never defeat argentina that way! also theyr defence was a bit weak..learning from germans they are :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/23/#findComment-587612196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexter66 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I think Australia are playing well this year after seeing them beat Japan in this world cup, I always think that Brazil deserve to win the world, no matter how many times they won the world cup.

kaffra Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 im still ****ed with the ivory coast match, terible referee. IC had a lot of chances but the finishing was not so good, slightly better compared to their match against argentina, but not enough to win. i hope to see more of ivory coast in the next WC.
