Yay, Portugal to the next round after a shit match.

Great intense neutral football today! The Czech VS Ghana game was awesome but hard for me…i fancy them both because they deserve the next round. The Italy VS USA match was pure entertainment.

God how i hate the Dutch news. Writing that Portugal escaped a horrible faith (after winning 2-0) while the Holland team where heroes (backs against the wall VS Ivory Coast…but hey). Now they are saying that Holland nor Argentina needs to worry about facing Portugal in the 8yh final. Arrogance like this can be the beginning of the downfall. I just keep my mouth shut and see what happens.

Ummm...

That Ghana performance was fantastic... did they really beat the Czech A team?

Or was it the B team?

The big game tonight:
Aussies v Brazil
Any thoughts?
For mine 2-1 Australia
(the eternal optimist has spoken)

the moment we have all been waiting for australia vs some insignifigant 3rd world south american scum..
2-0 to australia.
ill be here posting GOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLLL twice.
after 3am! shesh! so late!

The Italy vs USA game was a pretty entertaining game really. But De Rossi who got sent off for elbowing should venever be alowed to play football again, it was an evil attempt to really hurt someone. Bastard.

damn cant wait for Korea vs. France

Oh yeah and the Brazil game is sure to be good. I hope.

The 2 footed tackle was worse. Could have broken that guys leg.

I can't believe that Brazil have one poor game and everyone thinks they're crap. They'll still woop Argentina next time they play.

Flawed FIFA ranking system that gives too much credit to teams in shit qualifying groups (cf. Cameroon > Germany, Sweden etc., Honduras > Ukraine)

Also England or Germany to win...

Pfft. Hey pansy boy, I suggest you look for video footage of ANY player that attempts to raise his head as high above the ground as possible in order to hit the ball with it.

He was trying to ELEVATE himself, you ignorant fuck. Check out the rest of De Rossi's career. He has NEVER done anything in order to purposely hurt someone from the opposing team in his fucking life.

Don't be fucking dense, are you saying he shouldn't have been sent of? De Rossi went out to hurt him, he swung his elbow in his face. There's trying to elevate yourself then there's swinging your elbow. Nasty bastard, should get a suspension.

AUSTRALIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

PISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AA!!

go you good thing, only 3.5 hours or so till the game gets underway..

as for the elbowing, he doesnt deserve a suspension. he didnt deserve a red card.

No. He should have been more careful. What I'm saying is that he fucked up.

Seriously, get off your chair, and try to hit the ceiling with your head, jumping as high as you possibly can, as if your life depended on it. See what your elbows do?

It's a red card and a 2/3 match ban. Anything else is too lenient or too harsh.

I think that Argentina is going to win the entire WC, just because they were the only team imo that really showed what they got in the first game. All of the other teams were friggin lazy.

True. The rest of the teams are concentrating too much on conserving their strength for the finals (like Brazil).

i think everyone is being too narrow minded. Just because they've had the best performance so far doesn't mean they'll win. Its the best Argentina side for a long time and they have a chance but i wouldn't put them as favourites.

Yes and you've completely forgotten when Koller got a good cropping vs the USA and is out for the rest of the tournament. Also, after that they targetted Nedved and were snapping him at every possible chance. So yea, they weren't getting a taste of their own medicine...

I can clearly assume that madknt is in to rugby. Would you compare football to rugby then that bash in the face was a minor/medium offence.

Go rooooooooos!

spain? australia?
lazy!? they went out, started and finished, at 100mph.
your statement is pretty silly.

I think at the moment, countries like spain, argentinia & brasil have an advantage, since they are more used to playing in these hot conditions.
Argentinia really showed they mean business vs Serbia, especially since its not a country that's that easily beaten (remember how they only had 1 goal against them in the qualifications). But it is too early to say they are the top favorite yet.

Oh I'm really glad this thread exsists. Its one of the few threads here for the REAL men haha. I'ma grab a beer and watch japan vs kroatia now

I think it's more to do with the fact that they are the only team who can play as a team. Like Brazil have better players but they don't play as a team that well so i don't think they will win. But i would also say that if any of the other big name teams start playing better together they could beat Argentina.

Japan 0-0 Croatia. Not too sure why im still watching the game to be honest.

Probably because there's nothing else on. So how many times do you guys think we'll see Ronaldo scratching his ass today? I'm going with three.

if Austrailia beat Brazil i'll eat my penis
