i agree it's best he doesn't move at the moment as he could rip.
i'm sure portugal holland will be a good game... portugal are lucky to have scolari and as far as holland goes ruud has been weak but robben has been on form.

in portugal vs holland match either team could win. they're both pretty similar teams.. maybe portugal has a slightly better chance because of figo, but if nistelrooy has a good day it could be the other way around. but against the big teams neither of these two has any chance :)

if holland wins, which will happen if only to take revenge for their loss against them in the euro 2004 in portugal, they have to play the winner of England - Equador. They can beat either of these teams...after that I dont know the schedual,...

england doesn't look to impressive..nor germany, nor brazil..but the thing with these big teams imo is that they can step up when they're behind and start doing impossible stuff and it usually works for them. with most of the other teams the things is they can play as good as they play and that's it..if they're behind they can't turn it in their advantage..it's like they give up..

figo is portugals zidane. both WERE good player in the previous century. bunch of old farts. too bad the french got to the next round.
and ruud, he might not start, but i'm sure he will.

well, they won luxembourg just before the cup started 7-0..and they were scoring a lot in other friendlies too so it isn't that big surprise really. though sweden deffence was a disgrace yesterday.. podolsky and klose had so many chances as if it was a training and not a match. i think ballack alone had 8 shots towards goal..

i love watching germany play, they seem to be the only team that doesn't just blast away when they go forward, except for one player on the right side that has distance shots. they make real opportunites to score. and their whole game is pretty tight, except for maybe defence.
Tomorrow Australia will play. We absolutely have to win against
Italy, otherwise we will have to go home! :D

this is what happens when you bring children to world cup :D
i wanted portugal to win but i also felt a little sorry for van basten who will now probably have to take all sort of shit because he didn't put in the nistelrooy jerk.
i don't think portugal has much chance against england-it wouldn't be any different even if costinha and deco played-but i kinda hope they win somehow..i like figo a lot, and it would be a great national career end for him.

I think deco is one of the most important players in the world really
in te last 4 years here is deco´s curriculum:
2003 - portugal league and uefa cup 2004 - portugal league and champions league (and runner up in eurocup)
2005 - spanish league 2006 - spanish league and champions league

maybe, yeah, but they don't play hard enough..they're sort of too weak..i mean they don't look as strong and compact as english..dunno how to describe this really. they are strong individually but not so much as a team, though they work hard and if english have a bad day it could well happen portugal will win. imo.

third 1/4 finals (in a major comp) in a row for england against scolari... and it's not too promising for sven and his boys who lost twice so far.

omg do the players in holland know about fairplay?.
on mexico vs argentina: Argentina played not so great and Mexico didn't suck. but i think the score was fair.
germany vs argentina: It's and evenly balanced game, but argentina is filled with cracks, so i think that'll make the difference. argentina wins.
england vs portugal: I'll be surprised if england doesn't win.

I think they played on because they felt Figo screwed them by faking he was caught by an elbow from Boularouz. Like if you fuck us, we fuck you.
