henry and trezeguet dont play together no more, apparently henry doesnt want trezaguet alongside him. small arguement there.
trueQuote:
zidane for me was frances best player, he kept on pushing the french players forward. had an arguement with gallas and the other defenders for not pushing forward. but france were really poor, a very boring game.
Ribery was very disappointing, I don't think it was a good idea to make him start, he's better as a joker.
It seems a second forward was missing Henry was too alone in the attack.
Henry needs to be able to come back in the mid and run at people. Hes not a pure striker in the Luca Toni (powerful) /Inzagi (goal poacher) sort of way. If they dont play a system that allows him to play like that I think France will have another dissapointing cup.
Henry shot weakly, i don't know why... sometimes it seems he's too proud, thinking his shots will get through anyway. maybe it works at arsenal, but with the french team, i've never been impressed by the guy.
makelele was awesome, so was zidane. but zidane has a problem, he's so brilliant, nobody can follow him...
and the Swiss team played ruff, they even did 3 or 4 handtouches in the area... i think the referee was kinda crazy, distributing yellow cards for nothing.
and Ribéry... well, i don't understand his choices. he couldn't play in the Premiership like that, always waiting for the referee to blow the whistle.
personally, i was impressed by Brazil. i'm reading that they weren't so impressive, but it was only the first game and the defense and midfield were very good. attack was missing the point, right.
My favourate game of the tournament so far has to be the Argentina/ Ivory coast match.
these are jst the first games
u have to understand that these players dont play on the same
they all belong to different clubs in different countries
so it takes time to adapt to eachother
some teams adapt faster than others
the knock out phases will be nuts
no, the teams play friendlies before the world cup which they adapt to each other thenQuote:

I think the standard of this years world cup has been very high, only teams who haven't really performed are the ones that are considered to maybe win it; brazil, france and england.
No team, especially brazil, is gonna try NOT to play their best. Thats luda.Quote:

Word to that. Spain looked great. VERY harsh red card on ukraine.
i missed the spain game, was in an exam hall. shocked at ukraine losing 4-0, after the ukraine qualifying for the world cup by knocking out, greece, denmark, and turkey. they played excellent then, im shocked that they lost 4-0.
about brazil, ronaldo and adriano need to their act together. watchin the match i been waiting for though, tunisia vs saudi arabia.
Actually the referee was pretty bad with Ukraine: two offsides wistled that didn't exist, and a red card given for nothing (+ penalty).
Anyway, spain was in a very good day and deserved by far the victory.
Kaka's goal was marvelous.
this guy got 2 magic feet.
Spain game was amazing, anyone see the 4th goal? Brilliant...
I love the World Cup!
saudi arabia - tunisia game wasnt bad, the last minutes were really good. 2-2 at the end. shame i think the saudi's should have taken it.
does anyone here think Spain will go far ?
If they perform like that then yes, but this has been Spains downfall over the many years, consistancy.Quote:

Eidur Gudjohnsen has just signed for Barcelona. £8.2m. Hes been my favourite Chelsea player since he signed. We will miss Eidur but I hope he does well at the Nou Camp.
germany win, well deserved played very well, ballack and lahm were very good.
Fucking lucky Germans. David Odonkor was Germany's best player together with Ballack and Lahm. Schweinsteiger put himself to shame after a great game against Costa Rica..
It wasn't lauck man, they really fought to get that victory (unlike France)
yeah but still.. Poland fought too, and kept the germans away until the end.. It's just a cliché now man.. I doubt Germany can go far with that play though..Quote:

Then, in response to one of Owen's former teammates schizophrenia, Scottish fans created this chant:
Two Andy Gorams!
There's only two Andy Gorams!
Americans can't get a sporting event live like the Brits! Where's my passport and plane ticket?
Ballack sucked -Quote:

LOL, England - Trinidad & Tobago is tied after 1st half. It would be great if Trinidad & Tobago would make another sensation. They also had some good goal moments in the 1st half...
After screaming at the TV for 82 minutes, finally they done it. Can't describe my happiness!!
england were shit again. too much hype about them nothing special. a real good team to watch out for is ecaudor, they playing real good football.
english fans are quiet compared to turkish fans. our chants our mainly disses towards the other teams. stadiums light up in our games.Quote:

man what is up with this world cup
everyone is scoring like in the last 5 mins of the game
fack its annoyin
everyone is winning bye 1 point
but i have to agreee its one of the most interesting world cups coz the super powers are having big trouble against the asian african and s.american teams
it shows that football is evolving
i think trinidad will advance in englands group
i dont think the swedes could beat england
but then again england is pretty much qualified
so i dont think they will play that hard in that game vs the swedes
peace
the swedes will beat the english. it will depend on the germany - ecuador match how england play. i think they will want to avoid the germans. never good to come up against the home team when your not playing soo good.
and i dont think the super powers are stuggling, argentina, spain, italy and the Czech's won comfortable. brazil u can say to a certain extent were comfortable. this is the world cup were the european teams are doing better. 4 years ago they all dropped out and didnt impress much.
