No flag of Serbia nad Montenegro. How is that possible? :laugh4:

Argentina - Serbia 1 - 1
Netherlands - Cot d'Ivore 1 - 1
Mexico - Angola 3 - 0

P.S.
Serbia and Montenegro are not any more in state union.

I know, but they are registered as Serbia-Montenegro in the football world cup... A lot of interesting hypothetical scenarios could have happened - if some of the key players in the team had been from Montenegro and wouldn't have been allowed to play etc. or if it had been opposite and they didn't want to play for Serbia but only for Serbia-Montenegro etc...

Btw there's no serbia flag either:
:serbia:
:serbia-montenegro:

Does serbia use the old flag for serbia-montenegro while montenegro uses a new flag after the split up of the two?

Only one player is from Montenegro (Jevric, goalkeeper). Even some Serbs in national team are not from Serbia.

Serbia has own historical flag which was used in last 160 years. Montenegro use the new flag from two years ago. Actually, it's the old montenegrin war flag from XIX century.

You can find Serbian flag here: http://www.srbija.sr.gov.yu/pages/article.php?id=5412

:argentina: 1 - 0 :serbia:

Yeah, couldn't believe my luck !

Too bad Paraguay didn't make a goal against Sweden yesterday, but oh well 2 out of 3 is fine ~:)

For tomorrows games :

:portugal: 2 - 0 :iran:
:italy: 2 - 0 :unitedstates:
:czechrepublic: 1 - 0 :ghana:

:balloon2:

Tomorrow's game to predict:

:japan: - :croatia:
:brazil: - :australia:
:france: - :southkorea:

:japan: 1 - 1 :croatia:
:brazil: 0 - 1 :australia: I wish... ~:)
:france: 0 - 1 :southkorea:

Tomorrow's games to predict:

:togo: - :switzerland:
:saudiarabia: - :ukraine:
:spain: - :tunisia:

:togo: 0 - 0 :switzerland:
:saudiarabia: 2 - 0 :ukraine:
:spain: 2 - 0 :tunisia:

Amazing that so many have had so close predictions. Almost all games have been within 3 goals of the actual result, and the win-tie-loss predictions are pretty accurate too, plus several incidents of exactly correct predictions. Maybe I should stop trying to predict the games as it kinda ruins the point of watching them if you know how they will end ~:)

:saudiarabia: 0 - :ukraine: 2
:spain: 3 - :tunisia: 1

England forever

One World Cup and Two World Wars duda duda

p.s Germany was very mean not to allow us to march saying that in Munich to support our team, well at least I can say it here.

Also was anyone else surprised by the Ghana team's waving the Israeli Flag? I would think that that would be done by a team facing Iran.

:togo: - :switzerland: 0 - 2

:saudiarabia: - :ukraine: 1 - 1

:spain: - :tunisia: 3 - 0

It's a 'must-win' for Switzerland.

The player who waved the flag plays in an Israeli football team. At least that is what the commentator here said.
