The World Cup thread!

[NASpurs]

I just want to interject that I've been playing FIFA World Cup 2006 on the 360 for the last 3 hours and it kicks major ass.You should play a game ten times better than that shit... it's the Winning Eleven franchise.

[TDMVPDPOY]

is asia they only play winnin 11 games > fifa ea bs

i had so much twable playin the game against them, when we switch to ea games i destroyed them cause its not that much techniqle than konami

[SA Gunslinger]

I don't understand this disrespect for Japan. They are the Asian champs and made it to the quarterfinals in '02.

Maybe they are a little overrated but Japan is a good squad. I thought Australia's win today was big. They played some great defense.

Anyway, Brazil against Croatia tomorrow. That is "Must See" TV.

[xcoriate]

Ooh we have a world cup thread. Sick.

Gus Hiddink has been huge for Australian soccer, sure his tactics in the first half were a little.. different, but he came through. I think his coaching and overall motivation of this team has been exceptional.

Man I am so proud of the team, that was so sweeeeeeeeeeeet! I haven't been that excited over a non-basketball sporting event since Australia smashed the US in 4x100 freesytle relay in 2000. Hope ya'll remember :smokin

TDMVPDPOY you are the biggest dick on this forum, kindly fuck off.

ManuMania your not that much better, who hates an entire country over some inbred surely Tasmanian scum, who makes an ass of himself on forums all day? (no offense to my southern neighbours :p)

NuGGeTs-FaN your dead on mate, thats the spirit. Hell we don't need to rub it in, that was the greatest moment in Australian soccer history, and the cup just started. I'm going to remember that one!

Now all we gotta do is hope to advance.

See you all in the round of 16!

I'm the ignorant American who believed his Nation's team was going to give everything they had out on the pitch and earn the respect of the rest of the World.

I'm glad the Aussies did so well though, I was cheering them on and went nuts at the end of the match. Maybe they'll be the 2002 US team of this World Cup, or at least advance to the round of 16.

Drogba was barely even touched on that slide tackle, yet he seems to have been shot in the back by a shotgun.

as far as i know each fed. gets the same number of tickets. Some are for "neutrals". The reason for smaller group of australian fans is probably the same as the one behind smaller group of Euro fans at the previous WC - distance and cost.

did you know it was sold out in the first 1hr, and the trial game against greece was also another sold out game with 85000 at the G. we only get to see australia play on home soil like once or twice if we're lucky a year. it wasnt a matter of price n distance, its the chance to see them play live.

See you all in the round of 16! dude, WTF? who said I hate Australia?? I'm being real, your team is not good. The only reason you won against Japan is that Japan is not much better. The game was crap for a whole 79 minutes! and just because you managed to score 3 goals against a very mediocre Japanese defense means nothing. Brasil is going to give you a reality check and then perhaps you will see what I'm talking about http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif

I wonder what Parreira's going to do with Ronaldo for the rest of group play? Keep giving him the first half of each match to try to get his game going, or start Robinho (my preference)?

Brazil's midfielders have been great, but Adriano and Ronaldo have sucked, frankly.

Fans killed for cheering too much

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- Thai police are searching for a gunman who shot and killed two soccer fans at a beach resort after complaining they were cheering too loudly during a broadcast of Italy's World Cup opener against Ghana, officials said Wednesday.

The two men, both Thais, were watching Italy's 2-0 win over Ghana at a restaurant Monday at the Thai beach resort town of Pattaya, and erupted in roars when Italy scored its first goal, said Panipha Wattakul, a girlfriend of one of the victims.

A man seated at a nearby table asked them to quieten down, prompting a heated argument during which the man pulled out a handgun and shot the football fans at point blank range, said Police Col. Somnuek Chanket, the Pattaya police chief.

The victims were identified as Chamlong Rongsaeng, 30, and Somnuek Sonkun, 41.

Police know the identity of the gunman, who fled after the shooting, Somnuek said.

Thailand has never competed in the World Cup. But despite the Southeast Asian nation's poor showing on the international football stage, millions of fans are glued to their televisions during the World Cup and millions of baht (dollars) are spent on illegal betting, polls show.

Pattaya, about 110 kilometers (70 miles) southeast of Bangkok, is known for its beaches, its thriving sex industry and high crime rate.

I feel for you bro, that has to suck.




What a heartbreaking ending

[Streakyshooter08]

Great game and props to Poland. They played good in the 1st half. Anyway... I am happy that we will at least be in the 1/8 finals...

P.S. Odonkor could be Tony Parkers brother... :)

[polandprzem]

Your team didn't go down without a fight. There's no such thing as moral victory but gotta admire your team today!

Don't remind me of the Ecadour game :depressed

If you are team like poland (without outstanding skills and world class players) you have to fight in every game. It was one of two.
And the condition which ended about sixty minutes in the game.

[MannyIsGod]

Be proud of your team man. That was one hell of a fight at the end. It sucked to see Germany score that goal.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I think the whole world other than Germany itself wanted to see a tie. Poland fought so hard to make a tie you had to feel sympathetic. It was a sad ending really

[MannyIsGod]

Godamn, the 2 finishes today are what the World Cup is about though. Today was a damn good day.

[polandprzem]

Well I can be proud thinking about that one game. But some mistakes by coach and players at the end..... :(

I'm pissed and sad.

[German_Spursfan]

I lost 150€ with a lay bet against germany. Hard to take, like game 7 of ... you know what I mean. Goddamn fuck, seems like I've a plague.
All my money from WC-bets swimming away.

But I have to admit, the mood in the stadium with 80.000 people was incredible and now, there are people cruising around with there cars and making party. All around. There is a lot of respect for the polish team. The victory is sweet because Poland is even.

But without doubt, it's bitter for me.

[German_Spursfan]

because I won 300€ before? I'am no professionell, but I'am not bad. I think its worth to think about my predictions.
For tomorrow games:
Ecuador - Costa Rica, HT/FT 1 @3.5
England - Trinidad and Tobago, Asian Handicap -2.0 @2.12
Sweden - Paraguay 1, Asian Handicap -0.5 @2.02
@ll Odds from betfair.com

Sports betting is a marathon, not a sprint.
And my attitude is one reason to be a Spurs fan, not a bandwagon Nowitzki-Guy.

Cheers ;)

Any betting is not too smart over the long haul. If it were the casinos would not exist.

[German_Spursfan]

yes, but I'am the exception :)
of course you're right and I'd like to tell you, don't bet @ sports...

Satisfied?

[polandprzem]

So - you are telling me that you can compete in vbookie?

[German_Spursfan]

What's vbookie?
And my mercy for the 92.Minute goal.

[German_Spursfan]

no answer?
Ok, I've to go to bed now, my predictions are alive, and tomorrow I'll play my stuff. You can watch odds @betfair. I've no guarantees for my picks, but at the long term, I know I'am right. Otherwise I would do other things ;)
So far

[SA Gunslinger]

I just saw the Poland-Germany replay. All I can say is, wow.

And I thought the Australia-Japan match was great.

If your a true fan, you would watch it live. The World Cup coverage this year is incredible.

Hopefully the US wins on Saturday against Italy and somehow advances to the championship round.

Usually the US isn't an underdog in any sport they compete but I gotta cheer for you guys now after that defeat and playing a tough team like Italy. Hope everything works out for you guys the way you want it to although that group is tough as hell. Good luck :tu

After saying all this and saying I'm going to wake up in three hours, it's sleep time. I hope I can drag my ass out of bed soon.

yup

[MannyIsGod]

Should be a good match.

[NASpurs]

Our f'ing goalie sucks. I don't even think we've had a goal shot. At least we got more ball posession during the course of the first half but who cares when you finally get the ball back only to give it back. I woke up for this shit? :pctoss :lol

Whoa we finally got a long shot attempt.

Ecuador on top of group A above Germany! and the first team to qualify!!!!

unbeleivable

[velik_m]

goodbye Poland.

this time for good...

[NASpurs]

So the Ecuador/Germany matchup still has meaning?

[NASpurs]

Damn that was a stupid question. If Germany wins against Trinidad and Tobago then the second seed in the group is going to play England it seems.

Holy shit! England got lucky around the 45th minute! What a save!

[Duff McCartney]

What a save...

[NASpurs]

T&T sure is surprising everyone.

[nkdlunch]

Trinidad is playing the almighty Brits as equals.

:lol the Brits are frustrated, Beckam is so pissed at the Trinidad player that passed the ball between his legs. Brits even shoot at goal at end of half to show frustration. I love it!

:lol the spanish broadaster call him Mr. Roboto

dude has no upside to his game, all he does is head the ball and thats about it, i dont care if he blossomed in previous games, but this is the WC. Dude cant even dribble a ball if his life depended on it.

He had the chance to open up the score when clearly no one was around him, so what does he do? no shadow sidekick ball out of bounds.

[nkdlunch]

Mr. Roboto Scores!!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

moron scores when we bag the crap out his game :( karma is a biatch

[NASpurs]

Ecuador > England... I hope they play

[NASpurs]

Crap another goal

[TDMVPDPOY]

england is goin to struggle against good opposition teams, if they keep on playin like this.

[nkdlunch]

england dissapoints again.

Strongest teams till now are Spain and let's see how Argentina and italy do in their second game.

But germany and england suck!

[austinfan]

Who does England face in the round of 16, does anybody know? Because they are really going to have to pick it up to make it very far in the elimination rounds, that's for sure.

Yeah, I'm interested to see what Argentina looks like in their next game, especially because Messi is going to play, right? Can any of the Argentinians here confirm that?

[Texas_Ranger]

Ecuador > England... I hope they play

Yeah man, me too. Ecuador play s better than England for now.

[Texas_Ranger]

I hope that Paraguay will win Sweden.
2-1 for PAR.

England is going to suffer if they play the likes of Brasil, Netherlands, Argentina, Germany, etc. They are playing like crap! It was hilarious seeing the english fans celebrate when this game clearly shows England is not winning this world cup.

[Bob Lanier]

Fuck England.

The team that actually tried to score scored. boring game. long ball sucks.

tomorr ow: orange vs. orange :spin

Tomorrow Holland is going to suffer like we suffered on our first game :lol Ivory Coast is going to give Holland a run for its money

[polandprzem]

Ivory let's go!

I hate Holland for everybody's information :)

Holland will win their group.

hey I don't doubt Holland is a good team, but we match up better with them than we do Ivory Coast. IMO IC poses a greater threat for us than Holland does. Having said that one never underestimates the Dutch.

Still, Argentina is going to beat both Serbia & Montenegro and Holland

[polandprzem]

Manumania you've got more posts then me. Don't be so fast man.

Remamber the old good times when Hollad played vs Argentina with those red cards.

It depents on how the groups end up. Germany and Ecuador come out of group A, so the winner of that group will play the 2nd of group B and 1st of group B will play 2nd of group A.So it will be 1/16 final of group B England/Sweden- group A Germany/ Ecuador.

I think Ecuador will win group A because a draw will be enough for them so it looks like:

1A Ecuador- 2B Sweden
2A Germany- 1B England

*if Germany wins group A exchange Germany and Ecuador...

[Ariel]

I aint argenine but still nobody know's if he will play. They say he's in good shape to play though.
He's not starting, at best he'll play some in the second half. He was recovered from his original injury, but a few days ago he suffered another minor setback, with a bruised foot, that puts his status further into question.

[ALVAREZ6]

Argentina vs. Serbia & Montenegro coming up in 45 minutes.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, it hit the post and was riding the line until one of the defenders while jumping over it nudged it in. I need to see it again, but I'm almost positive thats what happend.
