the godfather Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 o well Angola and Iran drew 1-1, which means Portugal and Mexico are through to the second round, with a match up against Argentina or the Dutch. Crunch time for all 4 teams Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/37/#findComment-587626984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalfox Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 now i understand why FIFA rank mexico 4th in the world.. look at how they are playing against Portugal with a man down. they are totally outclassing portugal. Outclassing Portugal?? :blink: :rolleyes: Oh i know.. We didn't see the same game.. :D Go Portugal.. Not one defeat.. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/37/#findComment-587626999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setnom Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 now i understand why FIFA rank mexico 4th in the world.. look at how they are playing against Portugal with a man down. they are totally outclassing portugal. maybe they outclass portugal but it still wins. That shows something, doesnt it :) They don't deserve their 4th place. I can name ten, at least, better teams than Mexico just in Europe. Can't believe USA is 5th in fifa rankings i mean they played crap this world cup. And neither does USA. For exactly the same reason. Outclassing Portugal?? :blink: :rolleyes: Oh i know.. We didn't see the same game.. :D Go Portugal.. Not one defeat.. :laugh: Yes, Portugal did great in the 1st stage. Here's hoping we get to play Holland next. Argentina is just playing too good football right now, so I want us to meet in the final.

BigGiantHead Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I don't think that Argentina & Portugal will meet in the final, if they do meet at all, I think it would be in the quarters. That said, I hope Holland come away with the win tonight, Holland and Portugal brings back memories of Euro 2004, and not good ones. Argentina and Portugal would be a great match to watch though.

BigGiantHead Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Ah well, the way the match is going, it looks like it will be a repeat of the Euro 2004 semi-final. The game has been so utterly boring. Atleast Argentina has livened up the match with a few attempts on goal. The Dutch, after the 1st few minutes seem almost afraid to venture into the Argentinian goal, for fear of a counter-attack perhaps. Not what I expected from thewm though.

Wannes Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Joe Cole played indeed a very nice game. A fantastisc goal and then a cross painted on the head of Gerrard. It's pity though that England "gave away" the victory. That last Swedish goal shouldn't have been, although it IS deserved!

BigGiantHead Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 0-0 is the final score. Good defensive match between the 2 teams. It's final.. ARG vs. MEX and HOL vs. POR Also, looks like the Ivory Coast made a great comeback against Serbia.. leading 3-2 after being 2 goals down.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 21, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 21, 2006 I can't believe there are 2-3 people here saying Mexico outclassed Portugal. Portugal played without 5 of their best play making players and they still whooped Mexico's ass back to their hotel room :rofl: Go Portugal! :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/37/#findComment-587628384 Share on other sites More sharing options...

geek_rohit Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Owen out for 5 months. Great news for my Newcastle :rolleyes: Brazil and Italy play tomorrow. Todays fixtures are: Portual vs Mexico Angola vs Iran Ivory Coast vs Serbia and Montenegro Netherlands vs Argentina Yea I must have seen the wrong date in the calender :p It was sure it was going to be a close game between Netherlands & Argentina. And the draw is a fair result. Portugal won and top their group, good for them. But they face Netherlands in their next round game, which will be a tough one. My predictions for today's games: Czech Republic 1-2 Italy Ghana 2-2 USA Japan 1-3 Brazil Croatia 1-1 Australia Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/37/#findComment-587629171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've gotta be kidding me, this one of the most boring matches this WK has brought with some exceptions. I didn't really enjoy the game and zipped to Flodder: Going to America. :laugh: Yep, just read the news about Owen this morning. A pity to see him go, he has been my fav player for .. a while now. Kind of weird that D. Beckham said that they will win the cup for him. If they want to, they've still got some work to do.

I am Reid Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 In order for the USA to advance one of these has to happen. Thats why i dont like round-robin type tournaments. I've always perferd sudden death. That way its a better chance for the small teams to advance, and make a run. It makes for more meaningful games. Because for some teams their 3rd game dosnt really even matter, I'm sure they still want to win, but it would be much better if they were facing elimination. 1. Italy defeats the Czech Republic. 2. Italy ties the Czech Republic 0-0 or 1-1 AND the United States beats Ghana by at least four goals. 3. Italy ties the Czech Republic 2-2 or with a higher score AND the United States beats Ghana by five or more goals. 4. Italy ties the Czech Republic 2-2 or with a higher score AND the United States beats Ghana by four goals AND the U.S. team scores at least three goals more than the Czechs do in their tie. 5. The Czech Republic beats Italy AND the total combined margin of victory for the Americans and Czechs is six or more. 6. The Czech Republic beats Italy AND the total combined margin of victory for the Americans and Czechs is five AND the U.S. team scores at least three goals more than the Italians do in their loss. 7. The Czech Republic beats Italy AND the total combined margin of victory for the Americans and Czechs is five AND the U.S. team scores exactly two more goals than the Italians do in their loss AND the Americans win a drawing of lots by FIFA.

leesmithg Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 France goal should have stood. The ref blew for a foul on something else during the scramble after the ball had crossed the line. What is the point of a linesman? He is supposed to make comment.

spinx_ Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 france risk going out :o even if they win there last match, if switzerland and south korea draw france will finish third they have to hope that either of the two teams win and they win to get second place Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/37/#findComment-587630132 Share on other sites More sharing options...

theyarecomingforyou Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Ghana lead 2:1 at the half time. Good thing is US scored their 1st goal without any help. Exactly... in the Italy match they only drew because of an own-goal by the opposition. :rofl: NEway, what was with that US guy going down for ages? Ghana did an amazing tackle with no contact and the US guy, without his legs moving, went down and was stretchered off... how did he injure himself? Bit too much theatrics for me and the crowd is too quick to boo as soon as anything doesn't go in favour of the US.
