LOL I just realized I actually have the Italians as the WorldCup Winners in the Toto at work, might be some money in it
Forza Italia indeed

The Materazzi red car was totally undeserved, and Australia couldn't take advantage of that...
I say the penalty is tough call, though he probably could have avoided the slide and make the goal. But he went for the foul :roll: and Italy took advantage of that

It was never my attention, and NO I am not a racist
It was out of order and I am not trying to use an excuse, its just that I was angry that first Holland was out and then my favorite Austraulia :cry:
I apologize again to all those who were offended

Tough game, well matched teams, but Ukraine did have the better game. We where in the Swiss box much more then they have been in ours.
And no goals conceded in the penalty shootout, how can you argue that. Besides the fact that the crossbar hit was well covered has it not hit the bar.
Next game we get 2 of our suspended players back. So I really think we got a chance against the Italians.
I think it will be a good game.
Bring on the drama queens.

Yeah there could have been penalties both ways. And there was some fucking tackles on our players that needed the medics and there was no cards nothing.

I agree they havent brought much.
Game 1 we loose badly because we simply didnt play or bring anything to the table.
Game 2 we won and set the record straight.
Game 3 we won a game that we could have tied against the ex African Champions. Who btw did score a goal against Spain in that 2:1 game.
Game 4 we beat a the group winner in Switzerland, in a game that everyone said the Swiss are going to win.
They havent been playing great, but they are playing with their hearts.
This game they worked hard, even the commentator said "Ukraine has been one of the hardest working teams I saw in this tournament".
Lets play Italy next, see how that goes. By the way Italy has been playing I think Ukraine has a chance...but our journey might end there.

i know i know!! Ghana is going to kick some ass!!
ill be honest, its nothing against Brazil but i want Ghana to win!! ops:
it pretty much comes down to this, if Portugal cant win it all then i want a underdog team to win it. Ghana or Ukraine!!
and the italians have been playing like total shit, so i really dont think Ukraine should have a hard time with them at all!!
|
Fair enough, although i wanted Portugal to win The Netherlands. I think Felipćo deserves to go far in this Cup.

Brazil - Ghana (half-time) is 2-0
Nothing to say to the first goal of brazil, but the second just before halftime isn't legitimate, Adriano was offside twice!!!
I hope Ghana wins, but its fixt that Brazil will win, Im sure of it...

France-Spain tonight ... I'm afraid we're definitely not gonna make it, I'm expecting something like 2-0 or 2-1 for Spain.
Anyway the winner will be playing against Brasil on saturday

Congrats on Brazil, winning but Ghana just couldnt get a break in the scoring dept, they played a really good game and Brazil is going to have to step it up a notch in the next game!!
|
I hope Spain beats France, cause we ere eliminated twice by the french
