Sorry for the USA. Ghana through 2-1. And Brazil 4-1. Renaldo's back...?

Aussie are gonna TAKE ITALY DOOOOOOOWN!
hehehehe
I've never laughed so hard!! hehe

Honestly though. This is the weakest Italy team I've seen. So Australia have some sort of a chance.

Good luck with that.

Some sort of chance? The only reason Brazil and Croatia stood a chance is that they had the officials in their back pocket!

Someone's seriously scared of these Aussie's and as long as the Italians and the Referee don't get TOO dirty I seriously believe this Aussie team is gonna rock some European teams world!

ChrisP- come on. Lets get honest. just between me and you.
If we were talking rugby or cricket I would agree but Soccer. No.
I'll tell you what. I will give you all the coins I have (not many I know) and karma everyday I log onto RF if Australia beat Italy. This is not a bet because there is no need for you to match my offer. See it as a reward for being in that area of the world.


P.S do you watch the rugby and cricket?

Was anyone else embarrassed to witness the Holland/Portugal match yesterday? It's been a while since I've seen an uglier display of football. :cover:

Anyway, on to today...



GO AUSTRALIA!!

Oh wow. Did you see Figo headbutt a guy. What was he thinking?

England - Portugal

I think Portugal will take that one. England just look to flat footed.

I did see the Figo headbutt. At which point I said, "this game is out of control" and it never got any better. I'm quite shocked that more people weren't seriously hurt. That ref should be regulated to only reffing U20s.

Portugal will be at least 2 men down and possibly without Ronaldo as well. England has a very good chance, but they will have to play better than they did against Sweden. And for goodness sakes, could someone please make sure Beckham is hydrated? :rolleyes:

I don't know how wise that bet/"reward" was Mystic-als, Guus Hiddink (sp?) has some kind of Midas touch with every team he works with, they just might do it!

Hopefully with the reduced Portugal team we'll manage to beat Portugal. Man for man, I think we're better- trouble is we have Sven who likes to play teams based on their reputation instead of really playing the best team. He was playing around with it yesterday, so by Saturday maybe we'll have something that works better.

Still backing Argentina to win, especially as Brazil aren't quite looking as up to scratch as they could.

Personally I'd love for England to hand Portugal a thumping of note. Just because of the childish display against Holland. I am a huge Beck's fan (not the drink). And of course I like the chelsea players. ;)

Pitty about the liverpool and Man U players not performing. So very sad. hehehehe
You know I'm joking around. I hope.

England have had a poor performance all round. BUT they are through. So now on is where the boys sit down and the men take the park.

I am also backing Argentina. But Brazil are looking more and more hungry.
It'll be a good test against Ghana. But not a problem I don't think.

Australia was ROBBED!!!

A penalty in the 93rd minute for a dive? C'mon!!

UGH!

My sentiments exactly, Maize, I don't think that was a penalty at all and Australia well and truly deserved to be through.

Mystic~als, yes, I know you're joking ;)

I've heard a few of the soccer nuts here say Australia was robbed as well as the USA.
If anybody was robbed it was Ecuador! They deserve to win it all

USA didn't deserve to advance and I'll be the first to say it. Good on Ghana for beating our sorry butts.

I was talking about the ending of the Australia / Italy game when I said Australia was robbed. Did you watch it?

Ecuador I really have no opinion about one way or the other, but if they couldn't beat England who was playing poorly to begin with, then well they don't deserve to go on either.

Didn't see either, but I've heard people complaining about penalties that shouldn't of been called. I guess I can root for Ghana to play Italy in the finals now.

You see the English threatened the Ecuadorians before the game. They said if they weren't spotted at least 2 goals then they would envade Ecuador with evil legions of flying monkeys :monkey: and subject every Ecuadorian to eat old shoes :foot: ! So really Ecuador had its hands tied in this one...... especially since they lost 1 to nothing. Had the English played better and scored just once more, Ecuador would have stormed back to win 4-2. They were robbed I tell ya!!

Anyway.... comments on the Swiss/Ukraine match, the first of this World Cup to go to a shootout? I was quite shocked to see the Swiss miss 3 pentalies.

Some Kind of Strange
Did anybody witness the amazingness that was Argentina's winning goal the other day? I think it's the best goal for the whole tourney so far.

Sadly, I've been busy for the last couple of days, so that was the only game I've been able to catch lately. Has Brazil played Ghana yet? And when's Germany's next game?
