Kureb Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I think Brazil can easily beat anyone of that group. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/30/#findComment-587617046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted June 18, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2006 I can't believe Croatia couldn't win today. They outright dominated Japan and failed to score all game long, even from the penalty spot. I'm going for Australia against Brazil, but I don't think Australia will win it.

Kussie Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Even if we lose. All we need is a point agianist crotia and we go on to the next round.. But as a country we love it when we are the underdogs, only drives us to perform even harder.

virgo89 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 By watching the Brazil game right now, Ronaldo seems to me he's pretty much done with football and International Competition. He's definitely not the old Ronaldo at '98. Well thats my two cents.

sn00pie Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Ronaldo's still one of the best, when Brazil needs him to play, he'll be there. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/30/#findComment-587617223 Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted June 18, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2006 Brazil played bad, yet again :no: It is a shame that Australia couldn't pull off a tie, at least, after all those breakaways and wide open shots. The only thing I can guarantee is that Brazil will not win the cup. Mark my words.

Pharos Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) CLEARLY Brazil played better than the first game, I remember the last 2 world cups everyone thought they would not advance given their bad performance at the beginning of the tournament. One thing the #1 team in the world does NOT lack is SKILL. As time goes on, they improve their tactics and always end up at the finals. History has showed this. And with a lot of players going for their 2nd and even 3rd consecutive World Cup, chances are this is happening again. Ronaldo got much better but I'm not sure whether Robinho should be in his place. Awesome goal from Fred, just after 5 minutes he got into the game and 4 minutes before the end of the match!

Jase Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 So many chances but no cigar. i was expecting a 1 all but oh well Australia gave it there best but it was not enough to beat Brazil. is it just me or in the second half Cahill was a no show?.. or was he sent off? cant wait for the next game :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/30/#findComment-587617368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted June 18, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2006 Ill do it. Please do. I want to see Brazil play the likes of Argentina, Germany, Portugal, etc. and see how many goals those teams miss with wide open nets. Edit: I don't have to wait too long. Brazil's opponents in the next round? Czech republic, Italy, or Ghana. Can't wait :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/30/#findComment-587617381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krpano Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Please do. I want to see Brazil play the likes of Argentina, Germany, Portugal, etc. and see how many goals those teams miss with wide open nets. Germany(same to England) is already qualified by a great chance. Portugal, hmmm...sry to say this (i have portguese nationality too) but Portugal has a very poor gameplay. (except Figo) Argentina i agree, they are demonstrating great football. About Brasil, ill tell you what is happening. Brasil is not making much effort, they have "easy" games....If you could notice, most of them were not even running much, Ronaldinho didnt press and only gave the ball sideways.....and etc. Dont let the game they presented till now fool you. They will advance much more than you expect. BUT one thing i agree, they could try to entertain us a bit more. Seems they are going for result and not worring about the show.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 18, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2006 I am not allowing two games dictate what I think will happen. My thoughts of them not winning this year's cup goes back to their qualifying games where it took Brazil the last game to even qualify, something that has never happened.

Setnom Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Portugal, hmmm...sry to say this (i have portguese nationality too) but Portugal has a very poor gameplay. (except Figo) Sorry, have to disagree with you, there. Portugal is slowly gaining momentum and has one of the best teams of this world cup. You'll see in the 8ths. Mexico won't count because I think Scolari will spare a lot of players due to yellow cards. But maybe we can win that game as well, because in Euro 2000, Portugal did the same thing and end up winning 3-0 against Germany.

Pete He made the goal himself though. Fred is a very good player, I mean in Brazil he has scored almost at goal for every game he plays in, which is a brilliant record. In France he has not done to badly, when given the chance to shine.
