What a shame Koller is out for the rest of the tournament. The Czechs are awesome, and just as two years ago in Portugal, the most exciting team to watch.
They have taken over the spot traditionally occupied by Holland: a gathering of amazingly gifted players playing a thrilling game of attacking football.
The US had no chance. Italy will prove to be too strong too.
There should really be a pan-American cup. The way it is now, Mexico and the US only ever get tested against each other. They should play the likes of Argentina, Chili, or Uruguay on a regular basis if they ever want to really improve their game.
QUID!

Only in my dreams.![]()
He played most of the qualifying matches. Barthez was ruled out for a long time after a spitting incident. But Domenech cowardly has decided to rely on his old guard for this world cup again. You know, the ones that did not manage to score even a single goal four years ago because they were too tired and too old.![]()
The French squad is good, the talent is there. But something doesn't feel right. There is too much friction, and too much denial there is any. If they don't manage too perform well, I think there might be a massive revolt in the team. Between Zidane and Henry, Coupet and Domenech, Domenech and Trezeguet, the old guard and the new players. The whole thing looks set too collapse.
Really, if the Swiss get at France the way they can, the tournament could be over for France within twenty minutes.![]()
Then again, a good ol' thrashing of our Alpine brethren may be just the ticket.
It has been in projects. But 1) They play a different kind of elimination, like the one in Europe. 2) Many of them, powerful nations, specially USA, would not qualify. 3) America is big, very big, in comparission to Europe, and it's not a matter of team quantity, but a matter of organization. For intance travel times would be great, the same with the changes on envioraments and climatic conditions. 4) It's hard to break traditions.Originally Posted by Louis VI the Fat
Anyway, great games, I didn't see any since Argentina vs IC, until the one with Italy today so I cannot say much about them. However the result on USA vs CR did surprised me, I knew US will lose but 3-0... One more reason to fear CR, though they lost Koller, they got Varos (it's with "V" right, I don't want to spell it wrong), it would be interesting to see CR advance to quarters.

Go Germany!!!!!!!! Im amazingly dissapointed but I watched every single match. Even Aus-Jap at 8 in the morning which was the best soccer game Ive ever seen. I hope Brazil gets knocked out. Can anyone tell me about the Dutch? The guy who scored the goal Robben is he a little diva or something?

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

I'm a 100% German backer. Then comes Italy for me. I could care less if the USA lost to the Czech's 3-0. Hell, if it were 6-0 I'd be happy.![]()
Every time the team I like scores (which today was Aussies Usa and Italy) I take off my shirt run round my house yelling GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL
Im wearing a mexico jersey right now vhehe

Highlights of the second half of the Australia match with
over-enthusiastic Arabic commentary. [I like.]

Well I will not say anything about the Mexico jersey (ick), but let me tell you. I was home alone today and whenever Italy missed a shot or got a goal I went crazy. My throat hurts pretty badly right now. When Italy got the second goal the trashmen were outside getting the trash and they waited there for like 2-3 minutes after they heard me screaming. I looked out the window and two of 'em were looking at my house.Originally Posted by Strike For The South

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.Originally Posted by Strike For The South
ps, an american with world-cup fever??? excellent!!

Robben is a good player but he suffers from a disease, medically known as Nevercus Passecus Evercus. His greed really gets to me, the worst thing as that when he shoots he makes out that he came close.
I have no doubt holland and argentina will top the group, serbia and IC are good teams but don't have that extra bit of talent to see them beat the other teams. IC like Ghana and the other african teams have a good work rate but are not organised and couldn't score in a brothel

Nice analogy BKB![]()
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Togo - 1

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