whiplash1972 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 CONGRATS TO ENGLAND !!!!!!!! Germany next for us...as per !!!!!!.... Congrats to the USA for winning the group,and judging by the reaction of the team/squad/management,don't for one instance think it DOESN'T matter !!!!!!! Glad to see both England and the U.S. go through, and you're right Ian, winning the group absolutely DOES matter, as we now face Ghana, and have a real shot at making the final eight! Good luck to England v Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiplash1972 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 So Italy & France are both gone now. First time in WC history that both finalists from the previous tourney have gone out in the group stage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 That was a crazy round of results last night. Only got one of my tips right (Netherlands win). The Paraguay vs. New Zealand match was painful to watch. NZ needed that one goal so bad but just had absolutely nothing going in attack. Impressive they made it through the World Cup without a loss, but a shame they couldn't go further. Very disappointed to see Denmark go down to Japan too. Not a fan of Japan at all, I have discovered. But the highlight of the night, no doubt, was watching those filthy Italians falter and disappear from the world cup. What a great moment. What an instense end of the match too. As I was flicking between the first 2 live games, I missed what exactly happened when there was a little slap / fake wrestle flare up in the goal after an Italian goal was scored. What the hell happened there? It was very embarrassing to watch (man these guys are pathetic!) but what started it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesEagle Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 No idea what caused the row after that Italian goal, but great result for Slovakia. France and Italy out = Bit worrying for the other European sides though, we're not playing very well. My prediction before the tournament that the South Americans would struggle in South Africa proves that I know absolutely feck all about football!

Glen Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 France and Italy have been shite throughout...deserve to dumped out. England looked vastly improved against Slovenia and should really have won at least 3-0, bar from a couple of inches off side and a post! We were always destined to meet Germany in any case.....i bet if we had topped our group they would have come second lol! Theyre beatable anyway and Beckenbauer is obviously worried otherwise he wouldnt keep running his mouth off! Quite unprofessional and disrespectful really, but then he always was.....

JamesEagle Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 He's right to be worried as Germany haven't been too impressive, there was a big over reaction to their 4-0 win over 10-man Australia and I thought they were very lucky against Ghana (if Ghana had a final ball they would have won the game). However, England still need to improve and we never beat Germany in major tournaments (at least not in recent history) so I am extremely pessimistic.

However we always rise to the occasion. To be honest win or lose I dont care as long as it doesnt go to f penalties. Anything but penalties. I would much rather see one team win in full or extra time and save a life long nightmare for one player....so unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebuchadnezzar Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Thank God Chile did it. Those south Americans were really stupid yesterday (2 goals as a gift) that would be really sad to be out of the tournament from crappy Switzerland... But now it's Brazil. I can't find any interest on those European matches (portugal-spain, Holland-Slovakia etc.) or American ones like Argentina-Mexico the most interesting are the winners of those matches for example Argentina-England or Germany. Imagine a knock-out match like Holland-Paraguay, Brazil-Spain or Portugal-Chile. More interesting definitely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesEagle Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I hope the US give Ghana a "lesson" later !!!! Oh no, I really really don't. Apologies to our US cousins, no offence but I am hating their football team at the moment; after a late, late goal England has to go through Germany and Argentina to get to the semis instead of Ghana and Uruguay. Plus they were so lucky to draw with England due to Robert Green's gift. I would also like to see an African team have a good run and thought Ghana did well enough to deserve a draw against Germany, so I hope Ghana wins about 5-0!

whiplash1972 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Good overall performance from the U.S. this time around. They've definitely shown over the last year or so that they're not push overs any more. Gotta pull for England and the Netherlands now...
