The French should not be underestimated, they always end pretty high.
not true. the went out in the 1st round in 2002 after they won the world cup 4 years earlier. and they still had the golden generation back then! they're not a tournament team like italy or germany.Quote:

and the greatest day of my life ---> the day my son was born :hooray:
Michael Ballack will miss the entire tournament, so our Deutsch mid-field will be trash, theres no way we gonna get far this time...
this is my World Cup technique tho: im always betting €€€ on the german opponent team...so if we win the game thats good (partys everywhere, freepussy, every1s happy etc..), and if we lose..hey i dont give a fukk atleast i won some money!...nahmsayin its a win/win situation :cool:
Damn South Africa should have won that game, damn, that fucking post
i can already tear up my 1st betting paper cus i put money on mexico. 2nd half was hella weak!! nice 1st goal of the tournament though.
this is it i guess.Quote:

and man the Vvuvuuuu horn things are fucking annoying.
on a side note someone just change the name of this thread to "da affishal world cup thread"

it was before the game in the tunnel, i know its a big moment for them. but concentration is key in a game like this.Quote:

anyway next game, Uruguay - France.
About the only time I care about soccer over a 4 year period. I love this shit
I got France 2-0 in the next game
Never checked out soccer like that, but will definitely catch it now that world cup is around lol
lol at the japanese ref
Pretty blank performance from both france and uruguay. I was putting my hopes on uruguay since they have terrific attack.
Although france didn't show much, it can still happen like in germany that they go very far...
Diaby is definitely the best french player at this moment, the guy is just a rock.
boring game. outside of Suarez and Forlan Uruguay are a pretty average team, today they had some chances mainly Forlan but didnt show much.
but France, they just seemed unable to create anything. Diaby and Toulalan were both good, but they were good at roughing up the Uruguayan midfielders apart from that nothing creative. I dnt kno why Domenech decided to make changes with only 20 left, and why on Earth he didnt take off Govou earlier. really bland French performance, Ribery was lost the whole game.
hahah yeah he brought henri` and maluda on with about 20 to go ?????Quote:

as for ribery he tries hard, I think he is a little overated but he does get an A for effort in my book.... dude always tries his heart out.
ps : does anyone know if david trezegete is playing for france and if not why didn`t they pick him or put him on.
peace be with you !
anelka is lame.
Man I couldnt disagree with you more! I thought 1st game was great, one of the best WC goals of the last 20 years or so imo, and S.Africa had some really great nice looking 1 touch attacking play.Quote:

BRING ON THE VUVUZELAS!!
France sucked as usual, I just hope they don't steal another qualification.
England tonight, looking forward to it, Its gon be cool seeing stevie G as the captain lol
wow south korea really strong so far. the strongest team we've seen by far.
SOUTH KOREA :thumbup:
Yea, South Korea going strong. Greece are looking very poor i cant see them going too far in the tournament.
Cant wait for tonight, England vs USA. The only time the whole population of Ireland comes together is to watch our national team play or to watch England get bet. The whole country will be shouting for USA tonight. Its a bit stupid and immature but it gives us something to shout for considering were not in the fuckin thing.
And we also want France to get knocked the fuck out EARLY. They were fuckin poor yesterday, cant see them going far at all so dont have to worry about that. We all had a good laugh at Henry appleaing for a hand-ball. The irony.
South Korea was good, but the greeks sucked, they were slow as fuck and South Korea took advantage of it.
Yeah south korea play real well...
argentina v nigeria
Go argentina !!!!!!!!!
peace be with you !
nice!! 1-0
i got money on argentina!!
wonderful goal
Yeah nice goal, I heard he wasn't that impressive playing with Argentina but Messi's playing great right now.
Nigeria's good too, their goalkeeper is really good. Taiwo's doing his thing.
That diving header from hinze was amazing...
I got my money on argentina... the only thing that concerns me is that as the game went on they seem to fall away abit ... I noticed this in the first half and then it became more apparent in the second...I hope they realize this and work on it...because they might not be so lucky against a better team....
also tevez needs to stay up front he is a striker and messi needs to play more like the play maker...it seems they got there responsibilities mixed up...I noticed tevez seemed to spend alot of time in midfield, and messi was trying to play more like a striker.
nice win though.
p.s I hope malito gets more time on the field.
peace be with you !
They thought they had the game under control cause they're so good technically. They could have killed the game if they wanted, but they didn't try hard enough.
The nigerians could have equalized, they almost did, but they did a lot of mistakes, Martins was good, Uche missed a great opportunity. And in the end they weren't even trying anymore.
i dnt understand the Greeks, they were solid in qualifying but today looked like total shit. no pace, no passion nothing. the South Koreans played really well and could have been 3 or 4 up.
Argentina were ok, had alot of chances but they did what was expected of them.
Fuck this, Im so disappointed for Green, shit.
His first fucking world cup.
Damn, England keep failing with goalkeepers.
First it was Seaman, than James, than Robinson than this guy...
Ties are so fucking lame
1-1
That game had started so good...
every fucking world cup England end up with a shit keeper who makes some stupid mistake.
jus fucking awful.
it really shouldnt have mattered considering the amount of chances England had, especially with Heskey.
most embar from the english
