<---That's a good topic to start

What about the three goals from the Czechs? There would've been even more if Koller hadn't been injured..

I say Turkey should be in there more than the US. 4th place my ass.

I dont think it would have been more than 3, because someone would probably point a finger and say it's poor sportsmanship for running up the score. I've never seen a problem with that though. You're on the field to do your best at all times, for the full 90. So why would you let up because you're winning 9-1 or something?

And right now I'm waiting for the Brazil/Croatia game. I've always liked Croatia; For no other reason than their jerseys are frickin' awesome. But I think Brazil's going to feed them their own asses.

PS. Is it just me, or does Ronaldinho look like a lizard?

4th place?

I don't think anybody tells teams to stop scoring. In the end, when two teams have the same points, it's all down to goal difference. If your able to score 10, then you should.

I've been looking forward to the Brazil game as well, but my damn finals keep me from watching it.. Maybe the last 30 minutes or so..

USA is ranked 4th in the world. Fifa noticed this and is changing the ranking policy next year.

And I've had/heard of coaches saying, for sportsmanship reasons, not to runthe score up because it makes your team seem like a bunch of *******s.

And I think you should watch the second half, it's a good game, and the first is over in 10.

Watched the last 10 minutes of the first half, saw the goal (which was great, btw), and plan on watching the second half as well. But Brazil aren't that good from what I've seen..

Yeah it was a nice shot.

And Brazil isnt that bad, dont take anything away from Croatia, they're pretty good defensively. They just dont really have anyone that can "finish".

Edit: I lol'd at your sig, Bube.

It sucks a little

But I was trying to get in the World Cup mood a few weeks ago and I made it out of boredom.

Speaking of +10, it reminded me of Djibril Cissé.. Broke his leg in a friendly match against China.. I really wanted to watch him.. damn..

Czech Republic looks very strong. I am tipping them to make it in the semi's at least.

These days soccer is quite interesting, who would have thought South Korea would have gotten so far last world cup? They beat Italy and Spain!
They are very fast, and attack constantly! Great to see a change happening, always fun to watch.
