Official World Cup Thread

Robben is extremily talented, but he is only one of our great players. We have a pretty good team this time, I think only the Czech Republic and Brazil can beat us, but they will have to work.

ps, an american with world-cup fever??? excellent!!

I'm american too and if you look at my posts, I've got fever coming out my ears.

Togo - 1 (awsome goal off the post)

Korea - 1 (awsome free kick)

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Togo - 1

Korea - 2

What a goal for Korea. He takes a fabulous shot and the goalie had no chance.



I'm leaving to a friends house to watch the games, so you guys are lucky. No more obnoxious and excited posts from me for now. :-)

[Fragony]

NO! Togo and Australia are semi-dutch teams now (both dutch trainers) and they should do well just because of that!

grrrrrrrrrrr.......... can't........watch.....me......jealous......

Fragony. South Korea --->>> Dick Advocaat
Has that Dutch assistent coach returned to Togo as the German coach has? As far as I've heard he hasn't.

I thought he went to Russia? So that means we have 4 dutch WC-teams, do we rock or do we rock?

[Dutch_guy]

You're confusing Hiddink with Dick Advocaat, Frag.

Hiddink 'll be coaching Russia when this WC is over.

[[DnC]]

Guus Hiddink is going to coach Russia after this World Cup has ended

At first I didn't know Togo had a Dutch assistent coach, so that almost (if he hasn't returned that is) made it 4,5 ~:D

3 wins and 1 draw, pretty decent performance by the Dutch coached teams so far. RAR!

Owwwww, did I just mix up dutch world-cup trainers, shame on me but there are so many of them! Do we rock or do we rock??

Well if you put it that way, I'd say we rock.

Who said Oranges do not rock ?

Oh dear Louis, I think France were very lucky to escape with a draw then

[Divine Wind]

France were really poor...why oh why does your manager choose too play Wiltord? Hes rubbish. Playing Veira, Makelele and Zidane in the middle does not work with Henry either, he needs some attacking pacey player making forward runs so he can drift off too the flanks like he does for Arsenal.

Why? Because it's written in the stars, that's why.

Domenech is an astrology freak, who openly admits he bases his decisions on player's horoscope's.

My left arm for Arsene Wenger.

[InsaneApache]

Deja vu pour le Francais?

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Well, that Brazil game was rather dull. They're either so confident that they decided to take it easy for the first game, or not quite as on form as they're cracked up to be.

Mind you, they did win, of course, and Kaka's goal was cracking.

[x-dANGEr]

Anyone got a link on the goal please.. I can't watch WC here.. If I want to watch it I must pay 300$.. (Though, I will pay that for my dear Brazil, but still the service hasn't come).. A link please

[LeftEyeNine]

x-dANGEr, I can get you a Rapidshare link tomorrow.

By the way, I had predicted that Brazil would be a bit out of form as they are generally in the opening matches of these tournaments. The only difference today between Croatia and Brazil was that Croatia players directed all shots at Dida, while Kaka found the dead spot at once.

What I say for Croatia is a big GAH! however I still have hope that they will be qualifiying and progress through.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

I'M BACK!

Oh man, the France vs. Swiss game was amazing. I thought the Swiss (who I wanted to win) would come out on top, but no such luck.

Again with Brazil (wow Ronaldo sucks now), I wanted Croatia to win, but Brazil is good. I do think Croatia could have easily tied it up though.

Korea did real well to finish off Togo after going down. Good job Korea!

MY GERMANY PLAYS TOMMORROW AND THEY'RE GOING TO KICK SOME POLAND....WELL YOU KNOW

[Kralizec]

France vs Swiss was very entertaining.
8 yellow cards?!

I also found the Brazi-Croatia match rather dull, so I stopped watching.

How could you find it dull? That was an awsome game I thought. Well, I did want Croatia to win so I liked the prospect of very easily tieing as well as only losing by one.

And if you quit watching, you missed the last 20 minutes where Croatia got like 10 chances on goal. You missed the VERY un-dull part.

[Kralizec]

Could be. Well, I don't have time to watch 3 games on one day so if it doesn't look entertaining for 15 minutes in a row, I lose interest.

[Soulforged]

...(wow Ronaldo sucks now)...

Stay focus on the next two matches, if Ronaldo starts doing well, as I'm sure he'll, and Adriano follows, then you'll be dancing zamba instead of jumping.

[scotchedpommes]

[Croatia should have won.]

[Alexanderofmacedon]

I wanted Croatia to win too.

I'm getting my Germany colors on right now. I've got red shirt, black pants and all I need is something yellow. Hmmm...

Why? Don't go backing the wrong teams 90% of the time.
Was almost prepared to overlook support for the Italians
and more, but Germany is a step too far. Disheartening.

[Ah well, I shall shout for Polska all the more louder now.]

You think you can shout louder than I?

Good one.

nanananananaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanaaaa tough luck mate

[Divine Wind]

I wonder whats wrong with Ronaldo these days. To me he just doesnt look match fit anymore. I remember back in the days when he was good, moving into space, picking the ball up and running at players, generally just getting involved with everything in attack. Now he just stands up front like the fat boy, who got told by his dad that hes coming off at half time.

He offers nothing!

I really thought Croatia deserved to win that game, they created more decent chances, although the game itself was a pretty dull affair.

What came from that though, is that Brazil are very vunerable at the back, and that will be a welcome sight too most teams.
