atrain Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 i'll be supporting australia, germany [for my ancestors] & england [for my club, tottenham's players]. i love to watch strong passing football & i can't stand gamesmanship & diving. brazil to win it imo but they are so flimsy at the back every game of there's should be a high scorer. i also like the scandi teams, they always play great football with a strong team ethos.

MDBoy Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Unfortunately the Tartan Army did not qualify, which leaves my allegiance with the US team and France. Unfortunately I think the US will bow out in the first round, but the French have a chance to make the semis. MDBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiesto Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Rooting for Brazil is easy, I wish someone can stop them before they make to the final. However the WC is always thought so the local team and Brazil get to the finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Low Volta Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I don't really care about football... but I do enjoy watching in group with a few drinks (preferably in a bar)while watching with my friends, I tend to cheer for the team they all hate so at least someone is happy at the end of the night no really, I love playing the 'other side'... this also shows that even my football crazy friends still retain their sense of humor as I still haven't been beaten up yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishiyoshi Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Oh yeah... it was a splendid goal indeed. I am just so disappointed with the Japanese defense - really pathetic during the second half. Well, a deserve win for the Socceroos.Adrian, are you staying up for the next match - USA vs. Czech Republic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 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.

Damage Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 The Mighty Juggernaut that is the Czech's with their superior beer and brau is decimating the U.S. 3-Nil. Well, there goes the US hopes of making it out of group round. Not unless they pull off a miracle and beat Italy and Ghana convincingly.

atrain Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Yeap, definitely along with the France vs. Switzerland match. I used to watch Park Ji-Sung and Lee Young-Pyo when they were with PSV Eindhoven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 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.

Damage Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I need to catch the game on my DVR. I did manage to catch the last 4 minutes of each half (commute with no radio play by play)...Nonetheless, it was a necessary victory by Korea, they now have to face the French and the Swedes next. A Win vs. one and a Tie should help them advance to the round of sixteen (this assuming Either the French or the Swiss lose one of their games). And for slight bit of humor, I joked to my friend that Guus Hiddink has just become a person of (even more) legendary stature in Korea w/ the Aussie's victory over Japan Yesterday. Looks like the "Little General" Advocaat is doing the same.All he needs to do is out coach the French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) Would not be surprised at all. The Korean Media (even here in the US) is playing up the fact that Hiddink basically said that he'd beat the Japanese Team as a final parting gift of sorts to the Koreans. By doing so, he has literally cemented himself as a legend. I bet they're going to name elementary schools after him when all is said and done.대한민국! (Clap-clap-clap-clap-clap)(Or if your browser can't display Korean at all, Dae-Han-Min-Guk! )Thanks to the draw, I think Korea will make it to the round of 16 with a tie and a victory (very much pushing their luck with 2 ties, though it's a possibility).And pretty darn good game for Croatia v. Brazil. Would've liked to have seen an upset, and the Croats were very good being agressive (I didn't follow the game closely as I wanted to).

Stuge Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Hurrah ,Brazil won it`s opening match against Croatia .Brazil defence was totally exposed by Croatian team.So well played Croatia .Croatia had a couple of chances but they couldn`t convert them into goals .
