and in any event not diving is its own reward, as really nice second-efforts from Drogba showed this evening. |
||||||||
|

You obviously don't know what a schwalbe is... |

I also had to check German wikipedia for this |

Sorry, I really thought it was a common term around the world by now. |

please try to make sense |

Admit that you hate aristocrats because thay don't have to work. |

haha jav i wish i bet on my result prediction. i would have won a buck or two.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed, an absolutely pathetic display put on by argentinian defense - taking dives after tackling ivory coast attackers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the sweden willbeat paraguay and england anyway and this was just our warm up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sweden like it hard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
the ivory coast definately deserved more from their match against argentina. argentina however, if they're able to win this way, i'm afraid they're unstoppable. even brasil wouldn't stand a chance. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Argentina unstoppable? If the Ivory Coast had a better goalkeeper/defence they wouldn't have won the match. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
believe me, argentina is highly competitive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't say they aren't but there were some leaks in the defence system of the Ivory Coast. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
argentina as italy tend to start really low... but look where they get at the end messi didnt even play |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my point was that argentina won by luck, and with that kind of luck they'll going to make it far in this tournament. whether or not the leaks in the defense of ivory coast helped...i dunno. i think those leaks (obviously there were a couple, 2 at least) were incidental. argentina had the luck to take advantage of it. |

TIP : if u are at work and can't watch the game, you can get the score quickly via google, typing WORLD CUP : |
||||||||
|

|
The Ivory Coast got lots of good chances and could have scored more goals. I didn't think Argentina got that many chances although they kept the ball more and were the stronger team. There was lot of power in the Ivory Coast team. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
argentina's got no chance against teams like germany and brazil imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we will see |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope argentina gets that far :-) |

few hours to italy match... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so what are the opinions on the holland vd S.M match? Obviously the heat was a problem for both teams, ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, they got tired pretty quickly during the second part of the match. Holland was very organised, they might play a big role later in the finals, who knows. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
holland is areally great team |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they weren't amazing or anything, but they played about as well as any team has in this tournament so far... the only teams that are not underachieving at this point are the ones who don't have a chance in hell. It would have been nice to see Tevez or Messi get some playing time... particularly ahead of Palacio, who mostly played like shite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good review |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure, but they should still go for one more goal advantage imo. surely they will play better with tougher opponents, but i still can't see them do anything against brazil or germany. they can probably play as good as most of those other teams though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
funny how you consider germany at the same level as brazil on the other hand: here I warn you all: brazil wont win this worldcup |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i never said germans were on the same level as brazil. it's quite obvious that brazil is miles ahead of everyone else. if they are not going to win it could only be because either germany or france will beat them :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So who do you presume their tamer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
argentina, england, holland or france |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course thas only a guess |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Possible, possible. I wouldn't agree on England based on what I've seen so far, but that's just my ignorant perception not based on any deeper football knowledge. I wish Argentina wins the cup. I am bonded with them for good or bad since the first match I've seen in my life - Argentina-Germany (1990, right?) - ugly stuff, lots of blood, but that was entertaining for an 8 year old. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
england has its chance..once rooney gets back even more os. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the thing about england is that they have a great defence, probably the best midfield in the world (lampard gerrard) and once they have rooney.... also they have beckam, I dont like hi as a player, but his foor is gold, he touches the ball like no one else, so it gives england a great weapon for corners and faults, cos terry, gerrard, campbell... lots of them go great with the head and in worldcup, strategy plays an important roll (corners, faults) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
argentina won by luck? hahaha you mus be blind. in my opinion is the team that has showed the most category so far. the technic is flawless. they weren't "lucky" they scored 3 good goals (one didn't count) they do sin with overconfidence, do they lost some stupid balls here and there, but overall they showed stature that no other team has so far. and when you have people like aimar, messi, and tevez on the bench you know it's a powerful team. it's between argentina and brazil. france's got nothing, germany's got nothing, italy's got nothing and definately england's got nothing. i may be a little biased. lol |

So far it's been a great start. I've enjoyed most matches, the only downsides for me being the second half of England v Paraguay, and everything about Argentina's attitude and way of playing against the Ivory Coast. Arrogant, cocky and fakers. i found the orange team much nicer to watch, even more elegant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love talking about football at times, but i hate the damright one-sidedness of some people. I hated their attitude (argentina) but still love some of the players.. and watching players like Messi play is nearly always a joy for me. i think a lot of teams have a chance this year.. ff's Greece won the Euro '04.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i loved watching them play this game. they took bad situations into good ones, just out of personal technique. saviola played a great game. and yeah argentinians were overconfident at times (what you call arrogant and cocky), they tried to retain the ball when they were ahead and they missed a lot of easy passes. that's why ivory coast scored it's goal. also, i think even the coach was overconfident as the changes he made were awful (WTF palacio!), like he was experimenting or something. overall i think argentina was smart and they played well. and ivory coast didn't. and no way they played more elgant. i just like that team. heh |

I'm argentinian, and have a feeling that will not be good a world cup for us, I'm not in agreement with many of the players summoned for this championship, I believe that the nervousness will be present always in the Argentineans, they play with much pressure, all this country is protesting to them that they must be champions. In this world cup will be surprises, the denominated "small" teams are going to demonstrate that fútbol/football/soccer in these times is very competitive for all, I believe that will be surprises... Ivory Cost was very, very difficult, very strong, must have been tie (2-2), they played very well. Brazil and Germany are obviously the main candidates (in theory) but would not be weird that a team with smaller aspirations arrives very far. Argentina never had luck, in fact always we have very bad luck, believe me ... i only hope that in the following games they play more concentrated and calm. |

players, (I'm sorry for my bad English)... Abbondancieri: mmm, ok, he is very good with penaltys, good luck! Franco: ok, mmm, ok Ustari: ok- Coloccini: very dirty player, i cannot believe that he has been summoned, will be expelled if he play some game. Milito: ok- Heinze: who? SorÃn: ok Cufre: ok Burdisso: mmm, ok Ayala: ok+ Cambiasso: ok, but what's your problem?, you was very good before. Mascherano: ok++ Riquelme: amazing in the past, very good, but... most lazy player ever. Scaloni: ok RodrÃguez: who? fuck you! Aimar: i love you boy, i love you!, good luck! play please! Tevez: ok++, hope to see it play some game... Crespo: retard! Saviola: amazing little man, he gave me many happiness when he played in River Plate along with Aimar, thanks man! Cruz: what!? nooooo! Messi: please, play all games! Palacio: mmm, no man... what are you doing here? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I just hope no other team ever wins like greece did, most boring football ever but yes, lots of teams have some chance... and brazil is a clear favourite, but for some reason I think they wont make it again |

so Australia play Japan tonight, such an important game for us............ or World Cup hopes will be dictated by these 90min..... if we play well and win win, we might make the second round..... wven if we play well and draw, things could work out..... but a loss, or to play poorly, would be the end........ and I saw the Netherlands play last night..... they have a great team and could win the cup....... of course, it would have been good if they scored a few more goals........ and maybe they lack flair........ |
