The 2006 FIFA World Cup -

Slig_Cake · #31 06-19-2006, 05:39 AM

Had a punch on at fed square. Watched the Brazil game with my 5 foot gf who managed to stay on her two feet in the rowdy crowd, better than the Brazillian players did during the game. Mate got himself into a bit of strife when we were goin for a piss when he said a few things some brazillian supporters didn't like. He started gettin smacked out while the police restrained him and they were still hittin him. So I joined in and we got kicked out. Laid an awesome punch though. Did not shut up about it for the rest of the night

My gf's brother also got smacked with a $420 fine for under age drinking. What are cops good for? Doing nothing, and they're quite good at it too.

Oh yeh and Brazil beat us 2-0 (coughs up blood)

Next game the leading strikers are going to be owen and rooney because lampard and gerrad (0_o cant remember the sppl) both have yellow cards and sven wants to keep the team.

Ooh, a tie after a 2 point lead, what a heartbreaker. Edmonton lost. Waah! Waah! Anyhow, I'm pullin' for the Americans but I think Team Ghana is going to rule them for the full 90. My prediction is Ghana 2-Yanks 1. Yes Virginia, the 5 seed will actually score an effin' goal today.

Havoc · #35 06-22-2006, 09:58 AM

Hm, evenly matched yesterday in Netherlands VS Argentina. To bad, ah well we still came in second of the group

.

Statikk HDM · #36 06-22-2006, 10:39 AM

****! ****! **** me blind and crippled! I could have made mad money on an exact score bet!

Havoc · #37 06-22-2006, 11:17 AM

Poor you...

Owned XD.

Mojo · #38 06-23-2006, 01:10 AM

So, yeah. Guus Hiddink has done it again. A 2-2 for Australia - Croatia, but since the Socceroos had more points, they came in second in the poule

.

Thought the referee was stupid. I mean come on...
Look at all the penalties the aussies should've had. TWICE hands by that Croatian guy, Viduka pulled down, and so on. He "saw" that Cahill did something bad when he jumped to the ball (Hello, ever thought about that someone actually could jump that high?), and you can keep on going. But the worst was, when he gave the guy a second yellow card, and then forgets to send him off the field! Only when the last whistle sounded he "realised" his error, and finally sent him off the field. A little late, IMHO...

But still, Guus Hiddink has done it again. Though the last goal of the Aussies was one made through an offside pass... Oh well :P.

Slig_Cake · #39 06-23-2006, 07:17 AM

Went to fed square again to watch that, but it was closed off. So we made the trek down to the muddy area to watch on the second screen. I'm just happy we've made it.

It's interesting though, who was the team Guus Hiddink's south korean team played in the last world cup? Italy. Then who did they play? Spain. Then they lost to Germany in the semi.

Should Australia beat italy, we'd most likely play spain, then Germany in the semi. Wouldn't be too bad if that happened.

Another point, America are ranked 5th because they have played so many friendly games. And i'll think you'll find several other teams are ranked 5th. The FIFA rankings are pretty ambiguous.

And ffs. There are no SEEDS. The draw is done randomly, this isn't tennis. If it was done by their rankings, it would be nothing like it is now. I mean look at it.

Group F Group E

Australia ranked 42nd Czech Republic ranked 2nd
Brazil ranked 1st USA ranked 5th
Croatia ranked 39th Italy ranked 6th (i think???)
Japan ranked 18th Ghana ranked (over 50 i think they were)

How can you say these teams have been seeded

Statikk HDM · #40 06-23-2006, 09:38 AM

Thats true, not seeded. I didn't know the U.S. played a lot of cupcakes but doesn't FIFA factor in strength of schedule? Basically even though I know jack diddly squat about soccer I've successfully predicted the outcome of every U.S. soccer match. I didn't believe the hype, period. If only I had the balls to back it up with stout bets I'd have my college paid off by now.

Slig_Cake · #41 06-24-2006, 02:48 AM

You may have played some tough friendly games, but I'd say they were played mostly in America. The reality is most big teams don't try as hard in friendlies when playing lesser competitors. Even Brazil didn't play their hardest against Australia in the world cup (while we tried so hard and still lost). America is a good team though, and off the top of my head I can think of only maybe 17-18 teams they're weaker than. Have no doubt though, they are improving. You were a bit unlucky to have such a tough group.

Statikk HDM · #42 06-24-2006, 07:40 AM

Yeah, Italy, Ghana, Czech Republic, I looked into the group and it was quite a murderer's row.

WOOT ENGLAND JUST WON

Havoc · #46 06-25-2006, 02:06 PM

Well, we're out. Twas fun.

F*CK!

Mojo · #47 06-25-2006, 02:34 PM

We had a lousy referee. I mean come on, those Portugeese played dirty, and stalled, and that schwalbe of Figo was waaaaaaaaay too bad... Then some Portugese dude kicked one of our players to the shoulder, but noooo, that Russian biased ref "saw" another foul.

And come on. Almost 20 yellow cards and 4 red ones? That's a record! But not one to be proud of!

I'm off to bed now...

Software Bug · #48 06-25-2006, 02:35 PM

Havoc and Alphascrab, Didn't you had the idea of W*F

16 yellow cards
4 red cards

That is just weird...

Havoc · #49 06-25-2006, 04:07 PM

It's a World Championship record! And we have it! YAY! :P

But yea, they played dirty as hell. And even though there is no rule that says you can't do it, it's cowardly IMO. The referee was card happy though. 4 red cards, hilarious! :P

***Nate*** · #50 06-25-2006, 08:07 PM

Is that four just for one team? So a team was playing with four less players than the other one?!

But I've not heard anything good about the refs in any game so far. Even to the point of the ref in the Australia v Japan game apologising afterwards for his incompetence.

Havoc · #51 06-25-2006, 11:22 PM

No, each team got two reds.

Portugal went first, then to compensate Figo (I think it was) did a nice piece of acting to fool the referee in thinking that one of our players hit him in the face during a struggle for the ball. That player already had yellow, so now he had red and the teams were even again. Dirty bastards.

Lord Vulcher · #52 06-26-2006, 08:07 AM

I think it likely that Brazil will win, but Nostradamus did say that Spain might win so.....

Havoc · #53 06-26-2006, 02:06 PM

He said Spain would win the 2006 world championships? lol

Statikk HDM · #54 06-26-2006, 02:10 PM

Australia got jobbed. I mean damn!

Slig_Cake · #55 06-27-2006, 04:47 AM

man that was so dissapointing, but what can you do? Looks like that's the last time i'll be at fed square for a while

Lord Vulcher · #56 06-27-2006, 09:58 AM

:

Well, he did predict it would be in Germany, so he got a bit right. But more likely to be Brazil.

England's out

Penalty's is NOT an way to win an WC match.

Statikk HDM · #58 07-01-2006, 11:26 AM

Boy, that Ukraine game was a big letdown. I was looking forward to that match all week.

Rich · #59 07-01-2006, 04:44 PM

Portugal are ****ing wankers. A disgrace to the game, ****ing cheaters. I hope Rooney kicks the shit out of Ronaldo back in Manchester, that ****ing cunt.

I'm proud of England, they played real football, not diving to get free kicks and fouls, I'd rather have lost this gracefully than go on through being a bunch of cheats. I'll welcome the heroes home with open arms.

The Netherlands should've beat the cunts.
