YEA! I'm on the top of the 701 - 800!!!! (I hope) Very strange match BTW |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What's happened to Canizares? I know that he injured his foot with after-shave's bottle, is it true? It would be incredible... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Slovenia-Paraguay=1-3 I'm sorry Tolstoyed :( Maybe with Zahovic the things could be differents... |
||||||||
|
|

|
3-2 strange game south africa is out, and paraguay goes to the 1/8 finals against germany. I think that players from south africa didnt even know they were out with that result |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
spain 3 games 3 victories 9 goals scored there we go ireland |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Canizares may not be playing.. But he now has the best smelling feet in football :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
LoL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes he was in the bathroom and the after shave bottle fell to the floor, he tried to stop it with his foot, with such a bad luck he got injured ...but Iker casillas is a great goalkeeper |
||||||||
|

i don't think things would end in a better way for slovenia if zahovic played our team is just not competative enough to play against teams with more experience and i don't think thinghs can get any better with the way football is treated in our country i would like to see italy wining the world cup now that france failed to qualify so i hope italy starts to put more effort into offense-so we can all enjoy watching vieri,inzaghi(or montella)and totti |

nacmat, i was watching the highlights of the sweden v argentina and saw the ref give red cards to players on the bench. the sound wasnt on on my tv and i've got no idea what it was about!? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
tomorrow: costa rica - brazil turkey - china mexico - italy ecuador - croatia what do you think will happen?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1/8 finals so far: england - denmark senegal - sweden spain - ireland germany - paraguay so far 6 from europe, 1 african and 1 south african |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
brazil,turkey,italy and croatia will qualify imo |
||||||||

IM SO HAPPY!!!! =) But allso very irritated. The swedish people has voted Slatan Ibrahimovich for greatest swedish player during world cup. HE HAS ONLY PLAYED LIKE 10 MINUTES TOTAL AND THAT WAS TODAY!!!! Very ignorant by the voters.Slatan is very overrated imo. And Anders Svensson was voted greatest player in todays match , well thats fare enough , he did a great goal but i think without for example our defensive players Johan Mjälby and Andreas Jacobsson Argentina would have won with 8-0 !!! They did a amazing job today , im very impressed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im probably the only non-german person here that thinks that germany will win the world cup. The thing with germany is that you know they will always put 100% in and the arent going to fuck up, like some other teams... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Btw i think the referee (sp???) did a great job to...i hope he will do more matches this world cup. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
germany will ahve to fight hard against spain(if we pass with ireland) all of you still dont believe in spain...but you will see, we have a great team and some incredible players... we have won the 3 matches so far, and germany will see how hard it is to win paraguay... wait and see what spain does |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the referee showed the red card to cannigia (not playing) for something he said to the 4th referee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you think italy will make it? mexico is a really hard team...they are doing great... Italy of course is a huge team, with vieri, totti, del piero, inzaghi, montella... but still mexico is a solid team...be carefull woofer, I am with you my friend...good luck |

article by carlos alberto parreira fom brazil spain - south africa: It was an exciting game with five goals and two teams which fought until the very end. The goal from Spain came too early, and generally speaking South Africa had a few setbacks that forced them to fight for the result. There was a global balance in the game but Spain proved to be more effective in using their opportunities, with two very good strikers like Raul and Morientes. Although Camacho made many changes in his team from the first two games, they kept their standard. Both teams played with the same basic 4-4-2 formations, but with two different styles of play, two different schools of football. Spain played a compact game based on ball control and passing, for which 1-2 combinations brought a lot of speed and fluidity. South Africa played with skill, moving and dribbling, constantly pushing up front with McCarthy and Fortune, two very good players who created a lot of chances. It was difficult for the Spanish defense but the two centre backs Helguera and Nadal were excellent and managed to block most attacks. It is interesting to notice that Raul came back in midfield to make the link with the attacking line. Spain also developed their game in counter attacks with Curro Torres, Raul and very much attacked on the right side with a very good Joaquin. The result was fair because Spain made a better use of their chances. They were more efficient in the game. South Africa made mistakes on all the goals they conceded, such as the first one by the goalkeeper, the one on Mendieta’s free-kick and even Raul’s second, as he was alone in the box, but they never gave up and fought for the result until the very last minutes. A very exciting game on the whole. |

i hope this doesn't sound too bad- i think u have a very good team: great strikers-raul,morientes and tristan solid defense but i think u need a player like zidane or figo-player that can create game perhaps mendieta could do it but he is playing in a wrong position imo xavi could do it in years to come the way thinghs are going spain may win the cup-it wouldn't be a big surprise for me-and it would be a great thing to see your country wining because i know how much would that mean to people there spain is the biggest football country in europe-i mean u can't see anywhere else in europe the situation alike barcelona and real playing |
||||||||

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but I know that whenever we come across italy or germany´s way we will say goodbye...cos no matter how good one is...they always win... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
think positive hehe it might help |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehe its true we are too pesimistic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that player you say with the quality of zidane and figo is raul... I think raul can make history |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
raul is one of my favourite players-but his primarily concern is to score-its what he is best at when i say a player like zidane i mean a player that is playing in midfield and brings the ball forward to strikers and raul its just to good in scoring so it would be a waste if he played more in the midfield |
||||||||

|
weee Sweden is in the 1/8 finals!! England-Nigeria was probably the most boring match i've ever watched...it must have been really hot over there.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I understand what you say... ok, when spain plays next match, take a look to Valeron (Juan Carlos Valeron is his full name) I hope he does a good match so you can see the rel great player he is (very creative). he playes for "Deportivo de La Coruña" team that won juventus, manchester and arsenal in the first rounds of the champions league, then they lost against manchester in 1/4 finals but they did great football till march...and with a big importance of this great player |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but I know he is not zidane |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
deportivo is a strong team-they always finish on top of the table in spanish league-they can always win, even the biggest clubs in europe perhaps this year if makaay would have been fit they would be more competative valeron is ok-but he doesn't stand out of the team |
||||||||
|

I see you know a lot about spanish football and spanish league... one question: what are you doing so late in the night? I mean shouldnt you be sleeping, cos there in slovenia it must be 2 hours later than here and its 2:20am here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...thanks, I hope they'll win too... ;) Today we should play with Totti, Inzaghi e Vieri, so much more offensive than last match. Anyway I'm worry... the ball is round, the referee and linesmen are in trap, everything could happen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyway, slovenia surprised me... they passed qualifications for this world cup without much problem and they were a brilliant team. Then in Korea/Japan they lost against teams as South Africa and Paraguay, I don't understand what happened. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope that Italy go to Chanmpion ship with luck. anyway last match is incredible. i predict miracle is happened in one of today' game. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We're carefull, mate. I don't know if we'll win against Mexico 'cos 2 are the problems: 1) Mexico is a strong team so we'll be a very hard match. 2) Referee and Linesmen are always ready... to make mistakes... against us :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we are actually in the same time zone hehe |

today, klose (german striker) said that they would have preferred spain in the 1/8 finals cos he thinks that spain is an easier team to beat than paraguay. I think he is stupid if he really thinks that... by the way what has klose won so far? cos raul, hierro, morientes, helguera and casillas have won 3 champions leagues in 5 years, mendieta, albelda and baraja have been runners up of the champions league twice in a row in the last 3 years... I know many german players are great players from great teams such a bayern munich (champions league 2001) but in spain we have won great things too, so klose better be carefull with what he says... he should learn of what happened this year to bayern munich: munich won real madrid 2-1 in munich and they said that madrid was a team that didnt do it well under preassure, and kahn said that it was impossible that madrid scored 2 goals in bernabeu.... well they lost 2-0 and they had to eat their words... so better talk in the field than in the papers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now he will never know how would they play against spain,because they are going to lose against paragvay anyway hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I may look a bit too much in love with my team...well I dont wanna look like that... I think I am with feet on the ground, I know germany could easily win us, but I hate it when players talk like that...cos they should shut up and talk with the ball in the field |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if they can't gain any attention on the field-they must get it in this way hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who say that germany could win easily against spain? spain is a strong team and they could beat all other teams, Brasil included. Spain team should have the winning mentality of REAL MADRID and BARCELLONA. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

brasil - costa rica 5 - 2 ronaldo 2 goals, 4 so far....he is back in football, we must all be happy the plane is back turkey - china 3 - 0 turkish always do a great job... with galatasaray its the same, they havent got a great quality, but they are highly competitive, galatasaray is always on top of the champions league, and they won the uefa cup 2 years ago... the team that plays against turkey in 1/8 finals will have to fight till the end to beat them (look how much brazil suffered to win) |
||||||||

Germany are renowned for talking up their opponents- in a reverse psychology trick. They are clever and have seen what happened to France and Argentina who talked up their chances and underestimated their opponents. Of course Germany would rather play Paraguay than Spain, but they are trying to win a psychological trick over the Paraguayans, Germans are well known for such mind-games :) |

Brazil v Costa Rica was a ***** -star match Amazing skills Forget Argentina & France, Costa Rica are the most exciting team to be going home so far. Umit Davala needs to lose the hair, can't someone tell him ? Or just shave it off while he's sleeping ? :D |
||||||||
|

|

thanks woofer and toltoyed... hehehe now I dont wanna make the same mistake with Ireland. we respect the irish a lot, they have qualified with germany and camerun in their group (camerun is the olimpic gold of 2000) and none of them could win them...so its gonna be very difficult, and its just 90 minutes, anything could happen. besides we remember how ireland got to this world cup: they were in the same group as portugal and netherlands, and they qualified sending the orange clockwork home (kluivert, overmars, van nistelroy, stam, de boer, hasselbank, cocu...) so if spain wants to pass we will have to do our best match... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm glad turkey are through. they deserved a draw against those unprofessional brazilians, who played rather nicely today, i must admit :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think shevchenko would appreciate if davala lost his hair hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the irish will be no problem for spain. they weren't supposed to be in the world cup in the first place :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes smoke thats a good point... probably he was more trying to do some mind trick with paraguayans, than with spaniards... I should have though of that... hehehe now I feel a little stupid |
||||||||
|

bugger. the mexicans are one up on italy!!! Could this be Italy going out too? |
