Wrong again. Miroslav Klose is the top striker

All right. I'll give you that one.

Is it me.. or is Brazil really underperforming... There entire bench is world class yet they manage so few goals per game....

Its not you... Brazil is playing just well enough to win but like you said if they play one of the powerhouse teams like Argentina or Germany thy'll have to play great instead of good.

Torres a candidate for hottest footballer in the tournament.

I found Sergio Ramos to have wonderful hair.

lol @ Spain
I swore they would have thrashed the French.

Doesn't matter anyway, Brazil is going to beat them :/

Yea i got my money of Italy this year,

They win it every 3 World Cups so i think there do for one.

I managed to see a couple of Brasil and I have to say, there pulling themselves out of the water works now!

i forgot the other matches but i do know 1 Brasil vs. Ghana

FINALLY! Rolonaldo finally shows off his skill. He made a perfect goal against the goalie.

Emerson just got lucky when Cafu crossed it to him and then hit one of the guys foot and then rebounded on Emerson's leg.

But over all, they played a good match and BRASIL OWNS!

Zidane that prick...i hope brazil trash france to send that baldy bastard out of football!!

Great to see everyone is confident about us getting past France, I'm not so sure myself... Guess it'll depend on whether our coach finally develops some balls and makes sure the starting line up includes Robinho and / or Juninho (with Cicinho or either Gilberto as bonus). If that happens, I'm confident we can take them on (and give them a right thrashing too), otherwise, it's going to be tough (even if France isn't doing so well, since, after all, so are we).

But what about Spain? Poor bastards... I really pity the Spanish in the World Cup; they never, ever get to do well! They seemed cursed / doomed to fail time and time again, which is a shame, since they play some really nice football too (and have had some excellent players throughout the ages). Ah well, one day they'll make it... probably.

Actually it's a matter of changing the English language. It is Football, if you wish to be correct.

Soccer is a stupid made up word. Football is the name of the game son.

Indeed

I doubt they are going to win.

I hope Germany can make their 4th in dem Heimatland :)

OK.. So if I call it "Football" will you be happy? Because I feel like putting an end to the whole Soccer-Footbal discussion.

Yes, we would all appreciate that friend.

France won? Since when did France win?

Zidane owns, so it was natural France would win.

Umm, that was Adriano. Sure was weak, though.

Thanks, we sure have a good chance to. If we get through Argentina this Friday, we're going to take the cup!

alright now that the French have taken down the way over confident spanish young-uns
they go to Brazil (maybe Bartheze will take out Ronaldo again that would be funny)
and there is a chance they win (confidence can take one far)

ohh and i hope the match between England and Portugal is as entertaining as the one they had in the Europeen cup

and finally a question who is going up against Ukraine? I forgot

Can someone fill me in on what happened in the Ghana - Brazil game? I missed it, and people told me Ghana actually played better than Brazil (but still lost =[ tragic)

Was america in the world cup or do that suck so hard at real sport that they got kicked out early?

And the italy v australia game was bulshit.... fuck you all

Ronaldo scored early because Ghana can't defend, then Ghana put on a lot of pressure, threatening to score a few times, until Adriano bagged a goal late in the first half which was blatantly offside all the time. The rest is history.

Yep. They got a bastard group and finished bottom of it.

Agreed

Stop talking shit England, this is a battle that can only be solved on the field.

Portugal violent? do i need to say which country ended the career of portugals best player ever by brutaly taking him down? Eusebio wants vengance.

Anyway, i´m in portugal in a internet cafe. Yesterday i bought a huge portuguese flag, i love it. If we win saturday it will be awesome and the semi final will superb. For the first time ever i can whitnes a tournament like this in my own country, it feels great. Needles to say it´s crazy here.

France won...i was like omg. So yeah, surprises are not a new thing. Goodluck to those who still have to play and i´ll see how it goes saturday.

Cheers

we're going to beat Portugal just like we did in Euro 2004 *Cough*

Not if Brazil plays like they did aginst Ghana.

And besides, Pavel Nedved of The Czech Republic has the best hair in the tourney.

Go Germany!
There the last team left that I actually cheer for.

A little fun fact. Did you know that out of the 10 goals that Germany scored, only 2 of them were scored by actual, real Germans?

Lahm and Frings scored those to goals. Both of them were born in Germany.

Klose (4 goals) and Podolski (3 goals) are both polish. Even Neuville (1 goal) wasn't born in Germany.

C'mon you Nazi's!

Go Germany!

I want penalties.

I'm hoping Germany wins this match, but Brazil will dominate once again.

Brazil's only played completely shit teams so far, ie
australia
Japan

But it'll be interesting against France. I hope brazil wins cause france knocked them out of the 98' and won it
