Was kinda hoping the Kiwis could advance to the round of 16. Sadly, they missed out too. Well done to Slovakia who played extremely well to show Italy the door.
Haha... USA got further than Italy, that's quite a sad day... I bet a lot of people lost money this year in World Cup...
[video=youtube;CEgwx-1k9vc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEgwx-1k9vc"[/video] Again South Africa(at least) did it like Senegal 2002 by beating circus-play France. [video=youtube;rUG5Je6CBgA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUG5Je6CBgA"[/video] Italy ousted but they lost on a crazy way by some crazy last minute goals. Next big match would b England vs Germany. England could hv met Ghana if they topped the group but unfortunately not. based on England's performance so far, England wil get ass kicking by Germany
I think the english are gonna get eliminated in the round of 16. So many world class players but then they dont provide the needed results. Sad.. I actually think the USA are playing pretty well.
Knock out Stage this weekend!!! Uruguay / South Korea US / Ghana Germany / England Argentina / Mexico Netherlands / Slovakia Brazil /Chile Paraguay / Japan Spain / Portugal
^ I feel bad for Chile facing Brazil... I think the rest of the match up would be pretty exciting to watch especially Spain / Portugal
A PROBLEM WITH THE GAME BALLS?!?! FIFA has finally admitted that the World Cup in South Africa has been heavily criticized ball "celebrate" a problem in the design. FIFA Secretary-General Walker Saturday, said: "We are not deaf, the International Football Association heard a lot of discussion on the ball, we are not stubborn." He also said that FIFA and the team will be coaches and players to discuss the issue on the official ball, and the preparation and manufacturers Adidas talks. Many have said the world team, "celebrate" Soccer flying too fast, fly line weird. Adidas has argued, because the problems South Africa resulted in the high-altitude game ball some flight changes, but still can not eliminate the players on this football goalkeeper particular aversion. Earlier, the United States and some European experts to use the wind tunnel on the "celebrate" was tested and found this the best round of the football world, the flight line really strange, unpredictable, and the flight stability than even the ordinary football. (Xinhua News Agency) Pretty sad, on the other hand Uruguar won, Next up USA Vs Ghana
http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/index.html as you can see, the right side of the pool is so much harder England will have to battle through Germany, then most likely Argentina, then Spain/Portugal/Japan/Paraguay. Then finally, final match. I say England gets elimmed at Germany or Argentina.
S. Korea is much way better than Uruguay in attacks n ball possesion but they lost. But could c tat S.Korea keeper n defence r easily weakened. The best moment is Park Chu-Young freekick hit the goal post. USA looks to lose concentration at times when facing Ghana. Some players r not playing up to standards. USA deserved the loss. Looking forward to England vs Germany n Spain vs Portugal. Both should b interesting
I support HOLLAND because i live in the netherlands !!!! im watching germany - england right now. they stole england the goal from gerrard for the 2-2 otherwise the match would be total different
First Goal - Offsides 0-0 Second Goal 1-0 Third Goal 1-1 Goal that should have counted 1-2 Lampard free kick, 2nd one- Hand ball... 1-(2/3) <-- Since play should be stopped the counter attack would be no more so Germany doesnt get there 3rd goal. With England up 1-2, they would not have played with 1 back.
