Brazil's lost their touch bigtime. I cant believe they were once the best.
And to think I was looking forward to their games :\

I don't think Brazil win this year. They're not as good as we've been expecting!

Will England throw their match against Sweden today so they can come second in their Group and avoid a clash with Germany in the Second round ?
let's try to keep it all in one thread.
No. Despite the history of recent games between Germany and England I think I'd rather face them than Ecuador on present form. And never forget thisQuote:

Bah, somebody didn't get the numbers right. ;)Quote:

And Cole scores with one of the best volleys I have ever seen!
Joe Cole is going to be one of the stars of this world cup.
Frank Lampard has had more shots at goal than any other player at the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ so far, but not scored. Lampard should be dropped and Gerrard should be played in the attacking role.
I guess its the end of the world cup for Owen.

What a mouth watering clash this is going to be. Will the Dutch flair match upto the flamboyance of the Argentinians ? No matter which team wins expect a wonderful game of football. Im ready with my six pack. Cheers !!!
The Dutch vs. Argentina match was a letdown.
Both teams having qualified put in their reserve teams and it was a experimental game for the coaches to try different combinations which resulted in a goaless draw.
Ivory Coast finally won a match at the world cup by beating Serbia 3-2.

The ITALY vs CZECH REPUBLIC game will be a cracker. Both teams need a win to qualify further. I think GHANA should win against the US and qualify directly.
The Aussies fight with the Croats for a place in the second round while Brazil will be looking forward to re-discovering the Samba magic against Japan.
Holland v Argentina was a disappointment but Messi looked good. The real fun starts with the knockout stages, it's all been a bit tepid so far.
Has Ghana qualified to the knockout stage?
They qualify if the beat the USA this afternoon. See the tables here

I actually thought USA will win.
Ghana 0 - 1 USA
Nah... Ghana won 2-0 in their previous match against the Czech Republic, and I think they have a pretty good team. I would guess Ghana 2 - 1 USA
2-1 Ghana at the half....
they're doomed. oh well... I guess all of the Eurotopians will be very happy about it all. No more "Go Home Yanks" signs to create though... so sad.
i'd already started on the sign. damn it.

What the hell... there's no 'q' in it! Or an 'i' ! It's Yankee!
We lost. Game over USA. Time for team USA to head to the showers so the world can't see them cry.
