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

Fuck Yeahhh!! For all the haters, we won!!!
And fucking Fuck Italian people for getting against Argentina on everything: the yellow card gotten by Heinze; the "offside goal" by Messi at the 90' (that was no offside! The referee was pro-Mexico, even if referees have to be neutral, him more because he's from Switzerland); just everything! And for saying that Mexico deserved to win more than us. I now just fucking want that they get kicked fucking out by Australia, I don't fucking care I'm Italian and shit, I love Italy but people is fucking annoying and they deserve to fucking lose
Btw, we didn't play at our level, and I think Pekerman waited just too much to let Messi, Aimar and Tevez get in...and, for letting that fucking idiot of Scaloni play, I think he was the reason why our midfielders didn't play that good (Maxi Rodriguez played on the defensive end for way too much time because of him). Anyways NICE goal by Maxi, I just fucking threw my cell phone to the wall because of the joy and it's now broken

Noob question here, but does anyone know the ACTUAL word that the "D" stands for in the standings tables? I know it means "tie," but what about the word?

thanks, at myself for not knowing that.

Well Germany did quite good, in the first half. The first yellow card Lucic got was nothin ... the 2nd was ok. Klose played a very very nice game setting up those goals. Podolski is a perfect striker in front of the goal, his shot is amazing and he stays cool in front of goal.
2nd half Sweden got better for a short time ending up with 2-3 chances and a penalty (stupid by Metzelder).
I felt quite sry for Larsson when he did not make it, coz I always liked him.
But then he kicked away Metzelder´s shoe, did you see that. That was the point I was quite happy with the penalty

Isaksson is very strong, lil 1on1 with Ballack and he ended up as the winner several times.

Cool game, Argentina will be hard, but in Germany everybody is so self-confident at the moment that we think we can beat them.
(We cannot usually, but the home advantage and euphoria will help us )

I think Germany-Argentina could be the final game, it just sucks that we have to meet at the quarter finals... Anyways I think you have more chances to win than us (not only for the home advantage). I just hope Pekerman will start Coloccini over Scaloni and Tevez/Messi over Saviola.

Nice goal by Beckham England's up 1-0.

England hasn't convinced me that they're good enough. I see them getting eliminated in their next game.

Agree. It's been kinda easy for them so far.

EDIT: Don't want to double-post again, so I've edited my last post here.


Portugal is winning 1-0, Cristiano Ronaldo just got substituted (sp? does that word even exist) and cried. Poor guy

That was a dirrty foul by Khalid "The Cannibal" Boularouz, thats what we call him in Germany.

England was poor, nice freekick by Beckham though.
But next round and out in my opinion.

Seems like the quarter finals will be at least three huge games.

Germany vs Argentina
England vs Portugal/Netherlands
France/Spain vs Brasil/Ghana

WTF is going on in the Portugal/Netherlands match? First one of the Dutch players get tackled hard to the ground by a Portugese player, another Dutch player takes notice, shoves a different Portugese player to the ground who was just checking on the player who got tackled. Two players get yellow carded, mass arguing insues. Before the freekick is taken, one of the assistant referees talks to the head referee, and he yellow card's the Portugese goalie Ricardo (WTF was he cautioned for???). Later, about 3-5 minutes later, the Portugese player that was cautioned in what the incident I just told you holds the ball to stop play to discuss a foul, he slightly pushes a Dutch player, the Dutch player just shoves him back down, the Portugese player gets called for his second yellow of the match, and then gets sent off, while the Dutch guy doesnt get shit for shoving other players to the ground? By the way, as of this moment its 10 (Netherlands) vs. 9 (Portugal).

We need some fights in the world cup .

Best match 'temper' wise so far in the World cup.

And how the hell can you have one extra man and NOT score a fucking goal.

shoves a different Portugese player to the ground who was just checking the player who got tackled.

That player was actually talking shit to the dutch guy because they (Netherlands) didn't return the ball. It was a shitty move. They're desperate for scoring, but you just can't do that.

9 on 9 now, with like 4:30 played in stoppage time.

EDIT: Its over, Portugal advances to the quarter-finals, they will play England. Two of Portugal's starting eleven are going to be suspended for that match.

What a shitty, dirty game I expected a lot more.

Wow, nearly 7 minutes of injury time. That was a great game for casual, fight-loving fans .

Best game so far for me. Drama for days. I'll always remember this crazy envounter.

Best game so far for me.

For me as well. That one and Argentina vs Mexico match (especially fist half). I hate to see games without any fire in it. That's just not it.

Wow, amazing game! I just love the way Cristiano Ronaldo got that boot on his leg!
Though, I think Netherlands deserved to tie the game...

Instant classic? oooook then.

Instant classic? oooook then.

It was the funniest thing I have seen in a while. Looked like some old Jackie Chan movie or something.

What a depressing day tomorrow is going to be.

Yeah, if Australia lose, lots of guys will be depressed. If Italy loses, then Joe will be depressed because his team, uh...I mean, that team lost the game.

I would not be depressed if Italy loses, I'd be like 200% happy, but I'll better not shout any Aussie goal because I have the feeling that someone will punch me in my face...
