obviously as an australian i'm looking for a draw. tbh though japan are looking very shaky, kawaguchi's keeping them in it

penalty to croatia just as i fired up the page............................................. waiting, SAVED!

the first two at least. japan & croatia for the group, australia for obvious reasons & i got south korea in a sweep. don't think i'll manage all three games though. my parents are going to europe for 3 months so i'm off to the airport, with anyluck i'll get back just as the first game kicks off. any tips guys?

dammn. my old 'phone died so now i've had to eat into my w1000 money to replace it. i just got a panasonic x800 - it has some average reviews but i got a good deal on it & i've always wanted to own a symbian to see what the fuss is. very thin too, i've always preferred small size to features & i did get a free spare battery http://panasonic.co.jp/pmc/products/en/x800/index.html

i'm not at all surprised. i fell asleep after portugal & iran & awoke to find drama. czechs lost? italy & the US drew? the only bit that didn't surprise me was italy's dubious sportsmanship in general. especially after totti's spitting in the last euros & the claims of colusion between sweden & denmark.

the argentinians were in harlem globetrotter mode. the S&M's didn't play that bad, they were just outclassed.

why so strange? the cddb software included in simple burner & other programs is older, this patch updates it.

spain vs ukraine up first tonight, will all depend on whether schevchenko will play & if the good spain or the lazy disinterested spain turn up. spain, like portugal are perenial underachievers. can't pick this one myself.

not as much as a joke as you might think, Lee Chun-Soo dedicated their match to guus before kickoff.

wow that was an odd game, korea vs togo. the togolese were a stereotypical african side, fit & strong but niave about tactics. korea didn't seem to get going until after half time. i also think that was the first 5-3-2 i've seen so far, there's been a number of 3-5-2 & 3-2-3-2s but none with genuine wingbacks.

is anyone excited for korea vs togo? i did get south korea in a sweep & the right back plays left back for my club team, tottenham hotspur.

go with the nh700 the extra features are worth au$50 i think. the software bundled will be out of date but the newest version is online & free, we also host it here. where in australia are you?

with out being rude i don't much like the US coach bruce arena but i really do feel for claudio reina, a great player & an ambassador for football off the pitch.

i watch & read a lot about fussball ish

wasn't going to but i've spent the last 20 hours vomiting, i drank too much then ate some dodgy pizza last night so i'm a little too frazzled to sleep. two teams who are ranked by fifa above thier quality for me. the US are a decent team but not top ten as they are rated & the czechs are top ten but for me not number two. look for rosicky to be pivotal for the czechs, if he's making the play they'll win well, if he's marked then the US's strong team style of play could tip it.

wow just watched the australia v japan game. tim cahil scored two goal, the second of which was a real stunner.

well i like your posting, i'm afraid it wouldn't be so cogent if your head was to explode from pent up tension.

happy birthday jaques & GM, thank you both for your contribution here too.

topic closed for now. sorry, too much unregistered spam.

after that clarification lets keep the thread conversation free unless someone actually has one?

syrius you're getting more irritated these days, maybe it's time for a holiday yourself.

i'd love a good holiday but i've committed to a month on the couch for the world cup before i find a new job. perhaps by feb i may be ready for another sojourn in the mysterious east. or hong kong, singapore & malayasia.

odd that you should say that, there's been some talk although with little or no development on that score

look after yourself dex
