Ah Italy beat Australia. I'm happy, but sad. I've always gone for Italy, so I sorta wanted them to win a bit more, but meh.

Was an ok game, Italy should have put the goal in the net early on, but Aussie keeper was good to save. Buffon is all class!

1 man down and still win, that's pretty good.

Kinda pulling for the Aussies there just because they were underdogs and seemed to be a better team for the parts of the match I saw. Shame it had to end on a PK like that, but it may have gone to penalties anyway...Oh well.

Go Ghana!

The ref was ****house.

Firstly Italy should have got a yellow, not red.

Secondly, that wasn't a penalty

So both teams got screwed over. Welcome to world cup. Also italy got screwed over big time against s korea back in 02 world cup, and so did spain. It was as if the ref's paived the way for the koreans

Imo we don't have star players in the Dutch team. They're all egoistic bastards who don't know how to play as a team.

This Could be Germany's year again!

Rooney is a dumbass. You don't kick someone in the balls and expect to get away with it! England really sucked in this tournament.

**** off.

He didnt kick him on purpose, you can tell by the replay, it was accidental, if anything, not blatently obvious.

And the the push on Ronaldo wasnt enough to merrit a Red either.

I'm assuming he MUST have told the ref to **** off, thats the only way I can see him getting a red.

And England sucked in the tournament?
They held off Portugal for an entire half with 10 men to take it all the way to penalty kicks.
That doesnt seem like sucking to me.

PS. Dear Portugal,

Please learn to play soccer, or as you call it, football.

Soccer, or Football, is that thing you're supposed to be doing inbetween dives.

Love always, Sean.

Wait, France beat Brazil? Where, where am I? What year is this?

I was the only one to pick Germany to win in our office pool. Go Germany!

I dont think Germany will win it all. it's a nice thought though.

The host country hasnt won the world cup since 1972, or maybe it was '74. One of those.

If Portugal wins, I swear I'll become the new Hitler.

Are you sure of that? France '98, France beat Brazil and won the cup?

England did suck this year, the best they played was the Portugal match, but not enough.
Portugal aren't that good, but they play smart. They know when to do what. I doubt they'll go any further though.
Germany are pretty good, and playing in front of their fans is a big plus for them.
France started off very bad, but they seem to be going well.

I would've said Germany would win when the tournament started, but with France all the way here, I can't decide which one to say.

Yeah, I completely forgot about that. But the guy on TV said it, so I didnt even stop to think "What about France".

And I dont think Portugal is good, they just dive. Thats not even smart. That just ruins how the game looks to everyone.

I hope France wins it. Partially being sort of french, and because it;s Zidane's last World Cup.

Also, at the bar after the England game, my dads British friend said:

"Imagine Italy and Portugal in the final. The King's and Princes of diving. The whistle blows, the ball is kicked 5 feel foreward, and immediately upon contact of the ball, 20 men immediately drop to thr ground holding random appendages writhing in agony. The ref gives out seven cards. The cycle repeats itself until the goalies are forced to pass th ball back and forth."

The people in my country are in shock that France beat Brazil. I just loved to see the look on their faces.

GameKinG · 07-03-2006, 05:50 PM

This only increases Germany's chances!

The Germanator · 07-04-2006, 09:20 AM

Well, the thing I've discovered about Football/Soccer is that EVERYONE DIVES. You can't pinpoint in on one team. In every single game I've watched somebody on both teams has taken a clear dive. It probably happens once every ten minutes. Possibly some teams do it more than others, but every team dives, even England and Germany.
