that pk was questionable but props to GooseC for being able to defend the Italians with an intelligent argument. I wanted the Aussies to go far, but every point GooseC has brought up has been right on the money. Guess it just wasn't the Socceroo's game.
no way. but i'm not really sure that you can draw any conclusions like that from today's game. it's really hard to find the skill when the play is marred by diving, cheap shots, and bad sportsmanship.
yea, i was so pissed when he didn't give the ball back. and then when portugal took him out and the portugese player was checking on him. that dutch fool came in and took him out. jeez, such an intense game.
holy shit. . . . that had to be one of the dirtiest games i have ever seen. with what 16 cards? seems like that ref isn't going to be asked back. but pretty stoked that portugal won. to bad all those cards carry over.
England needs to stop playing 4-5-1!! it didn't work for the US and it's not working for them either. They need to get Gerrard and Lampard into the game also. I barely saw them all game. They should also put Crouch out on the field. He's tall enough to get a head on those crosses that were above...
i loved that show. i recently recented the entire season, and it was such a shame that it was cancelled. funny how the best shows always manage to get the boot, while really shitty programs get to continue making episodes.
bill was so awesome.
Noooo. I found myself rooting for Mexico as the game went on. They played way above my expectations and I am disappointed to see them lose. But that second goal Argentiniam goal, such a brilliant shot by Maxi Rodriguez. Just chesting that cross and then volleying it into the top left corner...
But this is the World Cup. They said in the press conference that they weren't prepared. How do you not come prepared to play in the biggest sporting event of your life. The effort they put into that first game should have been the most effort they have ever put into a game. So if they were to...
I'm not so positive about that one, chief. The game also depends on a little thing called effort and it was evident in the first game, a game without shoddy reffing, that the team was lacking something.
I'm so unimpressed with Spanish play. It's like they were taking a vacation the entire second half. If they keep playing like that I don't think that they will get past the second round.
