General Chat / Fifa World Cup 2006 Discussion & Predictions

That portugal game is another instance of just what i hate about footie.
There were minor flashes of brilliance in here but the rest was just a farce.
How did the player who through Deco to the floor not get a yellow? how did Figo not get a Red. The ref had no control at all.

Its interesting that Figo could of been banned if the ref hadnt given him a yellow for something he blatently didnt see anyway lol. (something about double jepody)

erm, were you watching? i believe van der vaart AND sneijder got yellow for pushing deco. And how the hell is it necessary for deco to touch heitinga after one hideous tackle?

i hope the world cup continues like this and people at the fifa wake up and make up something so that we can actually see some football again..

I heard that the record for bookings in a World Cup had already been broken before yesterday's matches!
I think France might upset Spain. I dunno. I'm looking forward to the match though - it should be pretty free-flowing and fast-paced and hyphenated.

Even if i'm an arsenal fan i thought Henry was a cheating bastard tonight, and he played shite.

Yep he sure did lol. A few fouls played in that game but i think they deserved the win.

Who do you think it will win between Argentine and Germany?

I'm actually backing Germany simply because they have the home crowd and seem to exceed expectations at world cup time...
The Brazil/Ghana game was really exciting. The Spain/France one had flashes of fun, but overall I found it a bit boring...and Henry clutching at his face - what a loser!

Yeah...playing at home will be an advantage.

Is it Argentina Vs Germany today? Damn, this world cup is going quick.. I expect Argentina to win, simply because they are i good form and the German defence is really, really poor at marking players, and the only way to beat Argentina is to deny them any space. I think i'm going to say 3-2 to Argentina.

No, its not.

Its on the 30th.

That's too much, don't you think?

I say Germany 2-1.

Maybe, who knows...the match won't be defined until the last second. Argentina and Germany are tow similar teams.

Ok...
Argentina lost...it's over for us...we can't do anything...
Anyway...Argentina and Germany played a great match, the best of the cup IMO...each team had their opportunities, and each one also scored 1 goal. (Set time).
I think that Argentina deserved the match, and I don't say that because I'm argentinian...
The referee was awful...I'm not going to mention all the situations that the referee ruined to the argentinian team...he CHEATED ($$$).
I think that, if Abbondanzieri hadn't gotten injured...Argentina would have won the match.
Anyways, some team had to win...this time was Germany...
I want your opinion please.

Yea, Argentina got robbed as far as reffing is concerned, but unfortunately that has become the norm when playing the home team. It was a great game though, and Argentina showed that they are without a doubt better than their ranking says IMO. I hope Germany loses their next game, as I am tired of repeatedly being frustrated by seeing them getting all the calls. Still, they did play well, so congrats to them.

Yeah...Germany also played well...but the feeling of knowing that they robbed us is so...horrible. When this happens, you feel really bad...
