thomasng Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Posted June 30, 2006 Actually Admin I only just noticed the sig change..................did the Poms get done? Ken I gave up on them. I now really hope they don't win the World Cup because they have played nothing but ugly football since their first match against Paraguay anyways. Seeing an article where Eriksson said he doesn't care if they win by playing ugly football tore it for me. I just think they don't deserve to win the World Cup playing the way they did this time, and of course, that's a big "if" they win. I now hope Argentina will face off against Brazil and Argentina shall prevail!
By-Tor Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Argentina - Germany: Two football giants and 1986 and 1990 finalists. Wins: 1-1 but 1990 championship was awarded to Germans by a dubious penalty. I think it's Argentina's turn now. They're certainly the more talented team if you just look at the roster but never underestimate the Germans. I'm sure if they're tailing 0-2 Karl-Heinz Rummenigge comes out of somewhere and ties the game.
dadog13 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 my choice is definitely argentina!...i never tought that germany will go so far...they were not so impressive in games that came before the WC... whatever....GO ARGENTINA!
Matte Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Quarter? Italy Vs. Ukraina. Italy Wins of course
Pugwash Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 As both teams are the natural 'enemy' of England, I would like both to lose, but that's not possible, so I reckon it'd be nice if the hosts could get to the final. Go Germanyland!
jkerouac Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Now what, Admin? Back to England? Italy?? Portugal??? Brasil???? Or how about France????? I, too, was cheering for England early on, but they have been uninspiring. I have enjoyed Portugal, but they are down two key players. If they can get past England, I would cheer for them against the Brasil-France winner. Unless I have a natural leaning toward one team or another (in my case Germany), I tend to cheer on the underdogs, so I hope Brasil gets bumped. I'm tired of Brasil this and Brasil that.... The media have been built them up because they are a good story. But there are other compelling teams in the tournament as well. In order of preference for me as of Friday evening: 1) Germany 2) England 3) Portugal 4) France (tie) 4) Italy (tie) 6) Brasil
cwai02 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 My preference: 1. England 2. France 3. Brazil 4. Argentina - Gone 5. Spain - Gone 6. Portugal 7. Germany 8. Italy
Pugwash Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 My preference: 1. England 2. France 3. Brazil For me: England, France, Germany ... An All-european semi-final will make me happy. COME ON, ENGLAND!
thomasng Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Posted July 1, 2006 It's all over............ Come on Germany!!!!!!!!!!
By-Tor Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 England has never won a penalty shootout in World Cup (and European Championship). I actually felt sorry for them...I'm sure the players felt the pressure of history in their shoulders. How can it always go that way? Portugal goalie did pretty well though.
cwai02 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Go France. I hope Zidane can end his career with a world cup champ.
Pugwash Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Go France. I hope Zidane can end his career with a world cup champ. I am now supporting France too. My natural second choice, obviously.
madasboot Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Hi Guys You don´t have to like Portugal.... we can live with that. By the way did anybody see the game this afternoon? M.
thomasng Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Posted July 1, 2006 My fiancee is Portuguese and I was afraid this was going to ruin our relationship. She called me just about an hour ago to rub it in my face. I accepted England's defeat, you can't blame Portugal, it was poor management and a fundamental miscalculation on Erkisson's part. He should have benched Lampard, who was more useless than a chocolate teapot during this whole World Cup. You can't blame C.Ronaldo for Rooney's sending off, you could say it may be a case of poor sportsmanship, but Rooney needs to keep his temper at bay, as pushing Ronaldo and probably saying a F word or two was the cause of his send off. He may have been able to get away with the stomping with just a yellow card.

almarco Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Engerland are going home.......oh dear how sad......lovely boys....! A hard game and a tough adversary to Portugal. Penalties end is a king of lotery. But I think Portugal deserved to win
Guest TTK Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Shockerooney........Brazil going home...can you believe it....a game where Brazil scored no goals......vive la France.....well played....!
cwai02 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Great game. All the european teams in semi-final.
