it seems like italy is about to qualify- croatia is losing against ecuador |

Italy claw one back 1 - 1 |

Italy and Mexico draw with both teams going through to the playoffs. |

its incredible...now its very possible that italy meets spain (or ireland) in the 1/4 finals... I would have prefered Italy being first of its group, in order to meet them in the semifinals (in the case spain got there) but now its probable to meet them before... back in 1994 they won us in 1/4 finals... |

Del Pierooo!!! My idol scored... I'm very happy... but I don't like Italy that draw today, they played not good, imo. Anyway the lineman denied a regular goal of Inzaghi in the first half... it's a shame, we lost 3 regular goals in 2 match. |
||||||||

another goal that the referee didnt want to give you... at least they did give you the one by del piero (he should always play)... now I would have prefered you won and ended first...but... |

japan - tunisia (I think japan will pass) rusia - belgium (rusia may do it) korea - portugal (depends on portugal) usa - poland (usa is showing a better face) |

when did Italy score that goal? I only missed the last few minutes. How did it happen? |
||||||||

nacmat> I would be equally worried by Mexico. They are a revelation and played the better football for 70 minutes of the game. Italy deserve second place, but not more. I have a feeling that Mexico may enjoy the hot humid conditions because they play in Mexico with thin air (high altitude) and excessive heat. They play a good passing game too. Also if a game went to penalties, is there a team you would RATHER be playing against than Italy ?? :) |

KILL THIS THREAD REPLY TO STAR WARS :0) |

How much replies will this thread received? I think it will reach >1000. |
||||||||

This post is number 769. |

I'm happy you like Del Piero too... he's my fav too. |
||||||||
|

Which member will post the 1000 message? |
||||||||

this is the thread were football fans like to talk about the world cup, the teams, the players, the results and even some football history... here we are always the same ones: woofer, tolstoyed, smokehammer, me and some other appearances such as netlon sentinel... we dont want to post here just for the number of posts, we just enjoy the thread, and well we are at the middle of the world cup, so this will probably reach 1000 but who cares if it does or not... just post here whenever you have something to say about football, its funny. besides as this is an aphex site, I think its better to have one big thread about football rather than lots of different football threads...though this happens anyway everytime sweden or england play, but it would happen more often if this thread didnt exist... so now anytime anybody wants to say something about football, he knows that posting here he will get an answer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes i agree in everything you said =). Thats the reason the "episode 2 will be great!!!" got so big. No reason to start a lot of new starwars thread on a aphex board. |

hey I am glad you understand...thanks well sido dyas you haven been last days around...sweden - sengal how do you see it?? |

Robbie Keane was pretty pissed about having to do his drug test straight after the Saudi game.I know you have to if ur selected,but for christ's sake surely they could pick a better time to take a urine sample than directly after a match.Apparently he had to drink 8 bottles of water to rehydrate enough to provide a sample! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes thats shit and it happens all the time...sometimes players have to stay more than hours there till they manage to get the fucking test done |
||||||||

alrite the belgian game tomorrow! the atmosphere is really good in the belgian camp, victory is nigh! honestly i hope for the best, but the way they played against tunesia was terrible... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is for woofer: (end of an article of fifaworldcup.com, talking about the match between mexico and italy): it had to be Alessandro Del Piero who would rise head and shoulders above his colleagues to score the Italy’s equaliser and relax tifosi hearts who had been screaming for his providential presence from thousands of miles away. each time I read it I imagine woofer in milano screaming happily: ggooooaaaalll!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha.. yeah... i'm happy for woofer... but what the hell were totti and inzaghi doing on the pitch?? talk about wasting chances. i hope del piero will start next time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am afraid of Italy... very afraid |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

LETS KEEP THIS POST GOING SO IT REACHES... |
||||||||
|
|

I QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

|
any football opinion you want to share amonbrune? you must reckon you are interested in the world cup results |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean you think italy will be out soon? well, the way they've been playing, that will happen. i hope not, too many good squads are out already (although i don't miss the french). hopefully del piero will give 'em a boost |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, no...all the opposite..i am afraid, cos everytime they start the world cup with problems but they pass, then they win or at least get to the final...and its possible for spain to meet them in 1/4 finals..thats why I am afraid, cos I know they can beat us |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah... sorry! well they were very lucky today, so i don't think they'll rely on luck anymore. they'll be stronger after today. hey that could be interesting: nacmat vs. woofer... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
believe me they always have luck they are very good, I reckon... most times the best... but even when they are not...then they have the luck (besides I know they have been stolen 4 goals so far) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the 4th was offside, imo (not that it matters) brazil looked good today, except for defence. they are 'growing into the tournament' mexico had some great moves, i consider them outsiders for the title, after today's match |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know what... costa rica lost 5-2 but they made a beautiful match... lots of oportunities... brazil is better no doubt, but in an individual way, not as a team. so far the teams that impressed me the most were: mexico: they touch and touch, very patiently costa rica: beautiful triangles and very offensive game, sad they are out brazil: the best man by man, with ronaldo flying again denmark: very solid game |

possible roads through in group D: If USA and Korea both draw, Korea win the group and USA take second place. If one team win and the other team draw, the victorious team win the group and the other team take second place. If Portugal win and USA win, USA win the group and Portugal take second place. If Portugal win and USA draw, Portugal win the group and USA take second place. If Korea win and USA lose, Korea win the group and USA take second place. If Korea draw and USA lose, Korea win the group and Portugal take second place. If Korea and USA both win and USA win by at least two goals more than Korea, USA win the group and Korea take second place. EXAMPLE: Korea win 1-0, USA win 3-0: USA 1, Korea 2 If Korea and USA both win and USA win by as many or fewer goals than Korea, Korea win the group and USA take second place. EXAMPLE: Korea win 1-0, USA win 1-0: Korea 1, USA 2 If Korea and USA both win and USA win by one goal more than Korea and Korea score at least two more goals than USA, Korea win the group and USA take second place. EXAMPLE: Korea win 4-3, USA win 2-0: Korea 1, USA 2 If Korea and USA both win and USA win by one goal more than Korea and Korea score as many or fewer goals than USA, USA win the group and Korea take second place. EXAMPLE: USA win 2-0, Korea win 2-1: USA 1, Korea 2 If Korea and USA both win and USA win by one goal more than Korea and Korea score one goal more than USA, both teams qualify for the second round but lots will be drawn to determine which is the group winner and which is the second-place team. EXAMPLE: USA win 2-0, Korea win 3-2: draw lots |

30 minutes later game( jp vs tunisia) starts . now i very worry about this game. in this world cup incredible thing was happened ( everyone knew it). no one says that team with good skill and power always win. To winnig , one of the most important is luck. i suppose so. i hope God give our team luck. |

Sorry but I'm not agree about Italy's lucky, for the followings reasons: ********************************** Spain 1982: Italy won the world cup with the followings result: ITALY-ARGENTINA (Maradona & co.) 2-1 ITALY-BRASIL (Zico, Falcao & co.) 3-2 (with a regular goal of Antognoni denied) FINAL: ITALY-GERMANY (of Rumenigge) 3-1 (with an error of Cabrini on penalty) I think in 1982 we deserved world cup without luck. ********************************** Mexico 1986: Italy played a awful word cup and back home early against France (2-0) ********************************** Italy 1990 We were really a strong team with Baggio, Vialli, Schillaci... We lost against Argentina only after f**ckin' penalties. I can't forget the lucky goal of Caniggia for an error of our goalkeeper ZENGA. Everyone said that Italy didn't deserve to lose that match. We had unlucky. ********************************** USA 1994 Probably the only year where we had lucky. We reached the final against BRASIL and we lost the world cup only after the f**ckin penalties. Anyway I admit that we didn't deserve world cup in 1994. ********************************** France 1998 Another year where we were really a strong team, we lost against France only after f**ckin' penalties... I don't think we deserved to lose that match, anyway... (No luck in 1998) ********************************** Belgium/Holland 2000 (Europe's cup) In the grandfinal we lost against FRANCE for a golden goal of Trezeguet after a great match of Italy. Anyway, when you lose for a golden goal you can't say to have much lucky, imo. ********************************** Korea/Japan 2002 Three regulars goals denied from the linesmen. The 4th was offside, I agree with NETLON. ********************************** ...so we lost 3 important match of world cup only after penalties and one europe's cup after golden goal. I wouldn't think that Italy has so much lucky. Anyway one thing is clear to everyone... we should learn t |

Anyway one thing is clear to everyone... Italy should learn to shoot penalties :-) |

|

this year penalties may work out for you-roberto baggio is not in the team(he was my favourite player before del piero btw) also i remember what a penalty totti scored-very easy shot right in the middle of the goal so if it comes to shooting penalties im sure that your team was preparing for that hehe |

japan - tunisia 2-0 go japan go!!! well done belgium - russia 2-1 well I thought russia could do it lets see how it ends |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
finally japan won 2-0 belgium won 3-2 so japan will play turkey and belgium against brazil now korea - portugal usa - poland the last two teams that will join to the other 14: denmark senegal germany ireland sweden england spain paraguay brazil turkey mexico italy japan belgium 9 from europe 3 from america 1 from asia 1 from africa why do I say this.... well, with only two teams left (two out of three: portugal, korea, usa) there is a clear advantage of europeans (which is normal, cos about 15 started the cup, there were more europeans than from any other continent at the begining, dont know why) in order to get the world cup... so far since the world cup history started in uruguay (1930, I think) urruguay has won 2 times, italy 3 times, brazil 4 times, germany 3 times, argentina 2 times, france 1 time, england 1 time. so, out of 16 cups: europe: 8 for europe america: 8 for america this time the draw will be broken...by which side? even though there are fewer american teams...its very probable that Brazil gets to the final. |

article from the bbc.co.uk irish coach: the Irish manager was even more annoyed by what he believed was the lack of respect his team were receiving from some quarters. He clearly believes that having originally qualified from a group which included Portugal and Holland, his team deserves to be taken seriously. And more especially so when some pundits predicted they could not survive against Cameroon and Germany without Roy Keane. "If I had to rely on people in here for confidence we would be knackered," McCarthy told reporters. "I have sensed that all along." The star names in Spain's squad roll off the tongue, but the Irish team boss fired a warning to those believing Ireland's downfall to be inevitable. Robbie Keane didn't train on Thursday "There is a difference between a good football team and a team of well-known world stars," he said. "We respect Spain as a good side, but we are not scared of anybody. I do not like the word fear. "Anybody who suggests we cannot beat Spain must be crazy. "Our results and performances have been just too good for that. "It is complete nonsense if anybody thinks that. "I have seen it too often against Irish teams, very confident sides going away with a bit of a spanking." I TOTALLY AGREE!! I really want to say that I have the highest respect towards the irish team... I ve said it before and I say it again, anyone could pass to the next round... at this stage nobody is favorite...not for me. |
