Ok, you think the Fifa Rankings Mean Anything?

USA Doesn't deserve to be near the top 10.

They can't beat any top class european teams, the only reason they are that high is because they beat teams like Fiji and get points.

I guess Portugal doesn't qualify as a top European team then, huh? :eek: And that's without three starters as well. Maybe you should try to come up with a better example. :p

I liked how South Korea won from Poland. They have a Dutch coach, Guus Hiddink. :D

Wow, USA actually won a game of soccer! ;)
I shouldn't be the one to say it, since Holland isn't even in the WC! :D

Remember what I said about Ortega in the first post? He finally signed, 2 hours ago! Now he's a Fenerbahce player!
I'm sooooo happy!

I'll try to find an English link...

Edit: I found a link. Here it is. The picture at the top says it all. But they should add some info in a few minutes.

Hehe, Japan won. I like seeing weak countries win. :)

Did ne1 c Italy vs Croatia?

2 disallowed goals for Italy (both which were bloody goals!).

Bloody pisses me off. Stupid refs. There should be a video referee so they can c the play again.

Well Italy lost 2-1. Very unfairly though. Should have DEFINITELY been 3-2

They already have the video thingy, they just don't use it much. They did with stupid Romario's play. :rolleyes:

2 disallowed goals? I thought it was only 1.
I watched about 20 minutes of the game, and I didn't see any goals.

Aaaaand, we finished 1-1 with Costa Rica, conceded a goal in the 86th min. Very unlucky number for us, 86.

Angrist 06-11-2002 09:17 AM

Haha! France is out! :D So funny to see the former world and European champion knocked out! :p :rofl:

Oh yeah I forgot, I like France... :( Oh well, I guess I don't like them with football. :)

*Tries to follow the World Cup*

Yeah, so the United States tied with South Korea I believe. That means they have to beat their next opponent to get a place in whatever or something like that.

Bube 06-11-2002 02:21 PM

I'm glad France is out. I didn't like them much, and I sure like surprises!

I also think USA will beat Poland and advance to the next stage.

The USA and S. Korea are tied right now with 4 points. S. Korea has to play Portugal, a good team. The USA plays Poland, a team who has yet to win.

If the USA keeps playing like they have, they will move on to the next round and shock the world.

On a side note, Germany is doing damn good too.

Even though it happened yesterday, WE CAME IN SECOND IN THE GROUP!!! It's so great! And only our second time in the Cup!

The match ended at 11:15 in the morning, but people were still celebrating at 4 in the afternoon.

Now we play against Japan.
