its true, lots of penalties... spain is very lucky cos we had two for us and both were very important to close the matches... and I think those werent really penalties... referees dont sign penalties like that in spanish league |

Spain - Paraguay in Group B. For a long time it appeared it would be the same old story for the Iberian team with Jose Luis Chilavert and co leading by Francisco Arce’s goal after 9 minutes. But the introduction of Fernando Morientes at half time proved the catalyst with Spain scoring three goals, two by the Real Madrid striker giving him a record at international level of 16 goals in 21 games. After winning their opening two matches in a finals for the first time since 1950, Spain become the first country to have qualified for the Round of 16. In a tournament, which is producing surprises and entertainment like never before, is it possible the perennial underachievers could finally come good? Let’s wait to see what tomorrow brings. |

THE DAY REPLAYED - It took eight days but the “Group of death” finally shed blood. Nigeria have been eliminated after two consecutive defeats, while one of the tournament favourites Argentina suffered a serious wound when losing to England. The surprising result comes after defeats to other fancied teams France and Portugal and underlines the belief that the first Asian finals could be the most open and exciting ever. Advantage England. The latest chapter in the Argentina – England FIFA World Cup™ saga was by no means a classic but like yesterday’s France - Uruguay game in Group A, the tension was palpable. With many of the same protagonists involved from the France 98 Round of 16 clash, the scene was set under the Sapporo dome for another great duel. But although there were some crunching tackles, it never turned into the pitched battle many predicted. Beckham gained his revenge when converting a penalty on the stroke of half-time for the winning goal and, following his wonder goal four years ago, Michael Owen confirmed that he is England’s lethal weapon terrifying the Argentine defence throughout. But what may well last longer in memory is the disputed penalty where Owen fell under the challenge of Mauricio Pochettino. Although it lacks the romance of Maradona’s Hand of Goal in Mexico 86, the decision is sure to be talked about in the pubs and clubs of Buenos Aires as El Diego’s has among Englishmen. Under coach Sven-Goran Eriksson’s composed influence, England have climbed above their rivals in the group, while Argentina’s destiny is in their own hands. |

in my honest opinion i don't think we have much of a chance-but i hope for the best thank u for your wishes tho |
||||||||
|

|
|
paraguay is very bad, slovenia caused me a better impression than paraguay, so if you fight as much as the first match and have some more luck you can make it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i certanly hope so hehe but what i would really like to see more is better football by teams that were pronounced as favorites fot the title |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
denmark - france there you will see good football |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope so do you know anything new about zidane? is he going to play? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I havent heard anything, but I am sure he will try hard to get to the match day in good condition to play cos is their most important game...they can say goodbye...and france is the champion, I want them to go ahead |
||||||||
|

we could do a game: we can vote for the best player of the world champion in each position to make a final perfect team, for example: for me a good team would be: (considering a 4-4-2) kahn (gk) maldini (back left) andersson (centre) gamarra (centre) puyol (back right) de pedro (forward left) beckam (forward right) junhiño (mid centre) ljumberg (mid centre) ronaldo vieri this is only an example, I wasnt in the mood to really think off everybody, but if we all do an ideal team like this one (4-4-2) then we chose those in each position that were voted more.... isnt it a good idea? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whatever team U pick,.don't pick Kahn for goalkeeping! I fucking hate him,....no special reason why,.......it's just his mingerly ridden appearance that makes me vomit when I hear his name |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok then I choose the irish goal keeper anyway this is not my vote, it was just an example |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I see my idea didnt catch up with the MB spirit... ok I have to admit that... but still I dont want this thread to die, cos it could be nice to post any opinion on football or about the world cup in this thread, so that at the end of the championship we would have like a clue on everything that happened... so far this thread shows all our impressions of the first matches in the competition... I think its a good thread . so: what do we have tomorrow?? slovenia - south africa (go slovenia) brazil - china (ronaldo will score??) italia - croacia (is italy that strong really) see you then, and enjoy the football |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what an embarrassing game for slovenia |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my ideal team would be: carini-gk carlos-left defender montero-central defender nesta-central defender thuram-right defender recoba-left midfielder rivaldo-midfield totti-midfield davala-right midfielder raul-striker vieri-striker i know its probably too many attacking players-but anyway i would like to see all those players together hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am sorry you lost... the only thing I can tell you is that it was your first world cup so dont be too hard with your team... hehehe the ideal team you chose its great though its true it has too many strikers...but I like it...I am glad you chose raul among so many great players... yea I forgot about carini, thuram, roberto carlos... I will write my ideal eleven in a few hours, I have to study a bit some of the teams i dont know very much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it as well might be our last in years to come im not too sorry-south africa was way better-so we really don't deserve to qualify about the team i chosed-i really just picked players i like(and that are playing)i didn't pay much attention on strategy hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a good team though I reckon its difficult to think of those players playing well in the world cup cos we tend to think of those we know are the best in the last years no matter how they are doing in the world cup...if we really thought of thids we should choose someone from denmark, senegal, usa, korea or costarica, as they are doing so well |

My World cup team so far>> Buffon(It) Rodriguez(Ur) Jorgensen(De) Lucio(Br) Ferdinand(En) Totti(It) Duff(Ir) Seol Ki Hyeon(Ko) ElHadji Diouf(Se) Owen(En) Ronaldo(Br) Best team performances so far>> 1) Korea v Poland 2-0 2) USA v Portugal 3-2 3) Senegal v France 1-0 4) England v Argentina 1-0 5) Spain & Ireland for their determined spirit when many people (including myself) doubted them. Tolstoyed> Recoba is the only player that I don't like in your team...very selfish and over-rated ~Nacmat>Your team looks very strong, but I have to say that Kahn is over-rated. I think my team may be less strong, but I'm basing it on how players have impressed me in the games I have seen in this tournament |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, and I'd also choose Vieri :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
goooaaaalll VIERI!!!!! this man is sooo strong.... really important player italy 1 croatia 0 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your team shows the real spirit of this game, cos I just chose some players with international fame, but you chose them by their performance so far in the cup...I like it...I still have to do one team that way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
5) Spain & Ireland for their determined spirit when many people (including myself) doubted them. this may be a 1/8 final match so ... anyway I think spain has more quality than ireland. duff (player of ireland) played so well against germany! I see you are watching almost every match, and you know a lot about this game |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
croatia scored...its 1 - 1 now... and they were about to score again now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
