Alladaskill17 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I know little to nothing about soccer, so i just picked England = win, USA = suprise, and Rooney.

I am Reid Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 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. I bet you thought that was a penalty too. Anyways, yeah he did fake that. Thats what i cant stand about this. He knew he ****ed up, because if you watch the replay he looked over his shoulder to see what was about to happen, and he was like "oh ****", and started acting like he got stabbed to try and play it off like every damn player does. Its pretty annoying. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/38/#findComment-587630303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1kashur Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 IF US loses , they will blame the ref, cause they have already started to.

Its pretty annoying. If you played soccer, you would know that someone can get injured like that. It's very dangerous in the knee when both feet clash like that. He was not faking as he was taken out of the game in a stretcher and returned with a grimace on his face. He was then substituted because of that injury a few minutes later. Next time, stfu, ok?

theyarecomingforyou Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I bet you thought that was a penalty too. Actually, I didn't think Ghana deserved the penalty but it was a strict call rather than an incorrect call. Just because I want Ghana to win does not mean that I will overlook anything disfavourable. It's just the fans are really annoying me... anything that goes Ghana's way and the US fans are booing - it's appalling. It's a close game at the moment and it could still go either way... nothing is clear cut in the slightest.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 22, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 22, 2006 NEway, what was with that US guy going down for ages?

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. Maybe because he got injured, hence why he was substituted 10 minutes later? :huh: About the penalty, that was a made up call by the ref. Its obvious he screwed up on that call judging by all the favorable calls he gave the US team in the second half, many of which weren't even fouls to try and make up for it. Having said that, congrats to Italy and Ghana. Czech Republic is without a doubt, the biggest disappointment in this World Cup.

flapjackman176 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 US squad needs to be revamped. I've been waiting for this match the moment the Italy match was done and Bruce Arena and Landon Donnovan screwed me over. Bruce Arena known for taking chances.. plays a 4-5-1 for the whole cup! there is no way that your going to score enough goals against the best teams in the world. Even so, play defensively and then.. when your down with less than a half to go.. why are you still thinking defense. Your opponent's offensive attacker (Ping-Pong) its exhausted and your still playing defensive. What does it matter? Lose by 90 goals lose by 1 if you dont score any yourself you can win it anyways. Landon Donnovan.. supposed to be the best player on our team throws the cup away. He totally blows a free kick that needed to be driven into the box.. blows it 30 yards out of bounds. This was a horrendous cup for the US and calls for a restructuring. Not much you can do about Donnovan not performing.. but Bruce Arena needs to be removed for a coach that uses some common sense. Such a great squad wasted with such poor management. Can't completely blame the loss on a terrible call by the referee (which it was) you have to take some initiative and try to make the goals up. You've worked for four years straight and your whole career for the chance to win a cup.. and then you just concede the game to a squad which was beatable (heck of a game they played) R.I.P. Team USA '06 :angry: :angry: Good thing that Germany will win the tournament and Klose will win the boot.

Krpano Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 American soccer is pathetic. I do not agree. I think they were unlucky. And referees were not on their side in any game. I think they do a pretty good game for a country without much football past. USA was in a group really hard. That Mcbride players is actually pretty good. I believe if they engage a coach with more football experience (South American or European)for the next world cup, they could get pretty good results. Imo, they should do like Japan (and other Asiatic countries) and bring more South Americans to play with the local teams to help the development of their skills and increase the experience. Not just few brazilians stars like Pel? in the past and Romario right now. Germany with the classification in the first position will get some tough adversaries now, Sweden first and then Argentina (almost sure), and maybe Italy in the semi-finals...Would have been much better if they finished in second of their group. Sincerely i see Argentina in the Final from one side and Brasil or England from the other side. Check the FIFA panel and you will understand what i mean by left and right side. Anyway, soon Brazil x Japan. I believe Brazil will play against Ghana next round. Go BR !!! :DD Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462506-neowins-official-world-cup-2006-thread/page/38/#findComment-587630736 Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway. Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 GO NETHERLANDS! IT'S OUR TIME! Sad day for the Czechs. They're probably my second favorite team. I felt Milan Baros and Pavel Nedved played very well and they had some great chances that just couldn't find the back of the net. Maybe if Jan Koller was there, the result would have been different.
