Re: Official World Cup Thread
Portugal 2-0 Iran. Was pretty good football (Portugal always is), but the second goal was penalty shot and Portugal wasn't in top-shape. Miguel, Deco and Figo played well though.

Wow, Ghana dominated Czech republic 2-0. Could easily have been 4-0
Re: Official World Cup Thread
Now that surprised me a lot, didn't think Ghana would rip the Czech republic to pieces as they did...
Now it makes it a lot harder for the Czechs to go through to the next round, they have to beat Italy, whereas they would have been there already had they won todays match.
If they lose, and Ghana beats the US (likely) then Ghana's through.
That would be a surprise...

Here goes the inability caused by a weak bench. Did anyone see some influential Czech forward on the pitch ?

He will not be playing against Italy now. Who else is there upfront?
The Czechs simply got out muscled by Ghana. They lost almost every 50-50 and they just couldn't get the ball off some of the players. A well deserved win though.

Re: Official World Cup Thread
An excellent game
2-0 is by no means a reflection on this match.
Ghana missed a pen and could have had 10.
The Czechs seemed to struggle without 'The big guy' and Baros.

The US is still in it! Now if they can just win against Italy...

Ghana played well.
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.

Re: Official World Cup Thread
I don't quite understand why Ghana still played so 'enthousiastic' in the last few minutes though, they even missed a few goals by rushing in as they did.
It seems like US-Italy is truning into a bloodbath right now ...

Czech really missed their big boys..
Anyway, go USA!! (Man.. That red card was more than surely deserved.. Come on Italy, what are you playing; soccer or karate?)
"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

Re: Official World Cup Thread
I'm just watching, 10 Italians vs 9 Americans. Italian offensive players play terribly.
