Official 2006 World Cup Thread...Italy wins 1-1 (5-3 PSO)

Nice goal from Robben, kinda screws up my fantasy team since I've got a bunch of Serbian guys but awell

Iran scored! I doubt they'll win the game tho, mexico is pressuring quite well.

Finally...Iran is better than I thought I didn't woke up and couldn't see the Netherlands-S&M game, but Mexico-Iran is really entertaining so far

i just watched Trinidad Tobago game.. they kinda suck but they held the tie, that wasn´t really Sweden, they couldnt get a shot..

Wrong..they had tons of chances.. T&T's goal keeper was just too strong. End of story.

I believe the statline was Sweden 18 shots to T&T's 6. I have to agree, that last second replacement goalie was a hero for that team.

what i meant is in matter of offense they had very few opportunities, but in defense the keeper played well

Well the game Mexico-Iran is over.Mexico wins 3-1 two goals scored by Bravo.At times it was really looking better for Iran,but they made a huge mistake and Mexico scored and 5minutes later there was another goal by Mexico.Overall a great game.

Portugal look like scoring everytime they touch the ball.

I think you need to correct yourself.

edit: oh shite I forgot about Portugal's match.

Scolari's touch has really had an impact on this team. They look very dangerous as Jae said, almost scary if you arent rooting for them.

I have a feeling C. Ronaldo might be on the bad end of a rough tackle if he tries too many fancy moves today. He looks pretty good so far but it seems the ref doesnt like it cuz right after he tried that between the leg cross there was a blatant foul on him in a later play which wasnt called. Angola's defenders dont look like the best tacklers either so far so there may be a few badly times ones in this game.

Oh shit you are right,but Iran fans would love that result .

Portugal-Angola looked promising, but the 2nd half was more boring than a Hawks-Blazers game.

And Joe how many teams are you affiliating yourself with?

LOL... Actually I'm more an Italy fan but since this year's team sucks pretty much, I support Argentina too.

Iran played a good first half but we just came out flat in the second. Tough loss, we would've had a real good chance had we played consistantly. Oh well, on to Portugal.

LoL .. very true!!

Hmmm... Portugal needs a little work. Even though the 2nd half was pretty boring I saw enough to realize them as a legitimate threat to win the Cup. Looked better than the Netherlands (who are bickering because Robben wont pass the ball ) in my opinion.

hahha iran played with their defence. they had the ball on defence most of the time after they scored the 1 goal i think they didnt care about winning and after the 2nd goal iran's defence just died

Ronaldo is like a little kid... when he got subbed off, they showed him on the sidelines throwing a water bottle at the ground and the commentator goes "And he's about to throw his teddy bear out of the pram" he was the most dangerous Portugese player though, awesome to watch.

That Akwa guy cracked me up, he's like Dajuan Wagner with Allen Iverson's mentality completely hogged the ball, tried all sorts of ridiculous shots on goal (I think it was 3 overhead attempts at last count) he was funny.

Australia vs Japan tonight, I seriously can't wait.

Eh, Serbia lost .

I then fell asleep with 10 minutes left in that game, so I could wake up to watch game 2 of Mavs v. Heat.

I just want to see Australia score their first goal in World Cup history so I have an excuse to run outside screaming.

Japan is gonna kick Australia's ass !

Australia chokes!

1-0 for the Japanke.

The only thing Australia should be choking is the referee, what a horrible non-call.

This entire game is getting ridiculous, I haven't seen Asians go down this easily since Yuki Does Tokyo.

Yeah, the game is ridiculous. The commentry is hilarious

"It's hard to be no bias with a call like that"

"After a brief break, as we expected Hideo Nakamura is fine"



End of the first half.

Go Japan! although I hope it's a draw today since I predicted one in the predictions game.

GO USA, we gonna beat the shit outta the Czech's!

Cahill comes off the bench, he's got to be the most over-rated player ever.

I hope Brazil rips these diving little pricks apart.

So much for over-rated, Tim Cahil the fucker has scored Australia's first ever goal.

Lol @ "He definitely had his weet-bix this morning"

Fuck yes, I just threw my can of Pepsi across the room in excitement ah shit... I'm gonna have to clean that up
