Germany got the 3rd place with a victory over Portugal yesterday: 3-1. The big final will be this afternoon: Italy vs France. Place your bets. Will Italy win its 4th Cup? Or will the french be champions the 2nd time? Personally I think the italians win, but I wish it's France.

BTW I heard an interesting story about german efficiency. Before the decision by penalties against Argentina, the german staff handed the goalkeeper Lehmann, a paper containing a statistic about what side of the goal each argie player had kicked most in last years, in penalty throws. Lehmann...

Not Brasil and now not Germany either. Italy won with two goals at the last minutes of extended time :eek:

Not much as you would think, though many people will have baaad hangovers. Not England X Brasil at all. France x Portugal instead. I wil risk a bet and say Germany and France do the finals. Though I tend to support Portugal because of coach Luis Felipe Scolari, I almost wish inside that France...

Germany 1-1 Argentina. The germans win in the penalty throws by 4-2 and send the annoying argies back home. :) It was a poor match though... Italy is walking over Ukraine right now: 3-0

And Spain was just a promise... as usual... 3-1 for the French. Next stage: Germany x Argentina Italy x Ukraine England x Portugal Brazil x France

Heh I hate being right ;). When Ronaldo scored at 5 minutes I told my co-worker: it's over for Ghana. African teams simply don't know how to play on the offensive(except Ivory Coast, a pitty they where cheated on and kicked out of the strongest group).

Brazil is not that good either, but I still think it will win over Ghana. Who score first will most likely win though. Had we to deal with Argentina, Germany or Italy at this point it will be different. Though Ghana have fine players I do think it still lacks organization to be a strong...

I had to miss the end of the game, but it was good to see the Mexicans making the Argies pay for every chunk of field. Yesterday, England won Ecuador in a mediocre match, and Portugal send Netherlands back home in a true battlefield. I can see the English going much far playing like that. Though...

Play on the offensive against an Africam team is like russian roulette. Unfortunately that's the only option US has...

Dunno why, that happens to me anytime I try to watch basketball. :shrug: The side I support always lose.

That's what the media try to tell us all the time. The Spanish League is one of the richest in the world so they would kill to win sometime. But fact is they never made to to the finals, they don't have a tradition as a national team. Real Madrid is the most sucessfull team in football's...

It wouldn't surprise me if US beats Ghana, specially if they can open the score. African teams play better in counter-attack, and they will not have 2 important men.

Venezuela didn't qualify either. Argentina humiliated Serbia and Montenegro this morning, 6-0. Rises a strong candidate to win...

I normally play as mid-back. Difference is you got to beat everyone in sight Usually, if you hit them with your whole body that doesn't warrant you a red card in non-professional game. ;) BTW. Germany, Ecuador and England advanced yesterday. Sweden cleans his feet at the doormat. Poland...

It can be played in any empty space, covered with glass, mud or sand. You can mark the goals with 2 old shoes. Hell, some even craft a ball amassing a pile of old socks one around other. That's why it's the most popular sport in the world. It can be played even in the poorest African country...

Watched it and wasn't so impressed. The "deaths" weren't really needed. And Fenix's personality was nil. I don't see how a 4th film could be better after the path they took. What can we expect of the sequel? Apocalipse?

Actually, that would be like 6-0 (six touch-downs + 6 extra-points or 7 TDs right?). I would like to have watched that game, but from what I heard Czech Republic was the best team to have shown by now. All the big players have started by now(no, Spain is not one of them, no matter how they lobby...

Only surprise by now was Ivory Coast. Best african team I ever saw playing. The score didn't make justice. They put Argentina 'on the playground'. A Draw would be a more fair. That will be a chalenge for Netherlands for sure.

Did Bill Wyman die? :confused:
