Croatia was the better team imo. Btw, it looks like all the teams that play against brazil are always disadvantaged by the referees. Could be my imagination. I hope Brazil gets knocked out first round.

Brazil was like Argentina when they scored they stopped playing.

If Brazil really wanted to go for the win Croatia would get beaten hard and bad.


I wanna see Brazil in the playoff cause then they will play for thier lives.

The problem was...Ronaldo. He's slow, fat, and can't play or run. So, everyone got stuck, their plays were at a disadvantage. Now, on the next game, I think our coach is going to change, then we can do better.

About the referee...man, we got many fouls, and until the middle of the second half, it was all Brazil's fouls. Them Croatia started to stop Brazil in fouls...

I think the next matches will show the real team we have :)

He was also alittle fat in 2002 and still scored 8 goals.


Ronaldo isnt like he was at his best where he could score on his own when he wanted.

Now he needs throughballs where he can use the little explosiveness he has left.

For that Brasil must play much better than yesterday.

We play Costa Rica tomorrow and I'll be at work again to miss it.

I'm pretty sure we can beat them.

I think we can tie Germany as well, but that may be a little too hopeful.

Germany arent that great and Ecaudor are very impressive, i dont think even beating Germany is too difficult for Ecaudor if they really want to cause they will be clear to second stage when they beat Costa Rica.

If we beat Costa Rica, we're pretty much in.

Poland lost to Germany (and Ecuador) so they're out and if we beat Costa Rica that'll be two matches they'll have lost so they'll be out too.

Damn, don't underestimate Croatia. If Kovac wasn't injured, it could've turned out the other way. They got a tight defense and their offence isn't shabby either. They certainly got a chance to win against Brazil.

I was very disappointed by Ukrania. Spain played a very nice match, but I expected Ukrania to win. At least I expected Shevchenko to score once, but he played a bad game.

Anyways, Italy f0r t3h w1n

Heh, at the moment Ecuador stands higher than Germany because of the goal difference. Can't wait until they play each other to see who really is the group leader. Poor poles though.

Also, I hope Paraguay plays a better game than with England. That shit was not how they normally play!

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: @ Ecuador.

Everyone in that country will be drunk for the next 72 hours.

We can tie Germany but it doesn't really matter either way, we're in.

What happens after that is up in the air.

We'll play either England or Sweden, I think.

Makes me hope for a dreamfinal Arg vs Brasil or Arg vs Italia.

I could count 4 or 5 penalties to Ivory Coast. The referee didn´t notice about them. How strange -_-

Ugh @ Italy v. USA. What a slaughterhouse! people kicked off left and right...

In a way, it reminded me of Hajime no Ippo because of all the blood and violence in this match. Hell, there was even a player named Dempsey ^_^

The only thing missing from this chaotic game was penalty kicks, since it had everything else (red cards, offsides (discounted) goals, own goals, etc)

Heh it was like playoff game, a thriller specially in the second half.



I must say i thank Ghana for saving the african pride not only that but they can actually go the next round :)


With how they toyed with Czechs,USA wont be a problem.
