Hooray for Deutschland!

After the US, the Germans are my favorite team. I was able to find a secluded area with a TV at work and watched the entire game.

Time for England - Paraguay!

I'm for England 2 - 1 Paraguay, it's gonna be close...

England will draw.

Of the last 13 world cup pening games england have won just 2.

I lost £10 yesterday, 5 on costa rica to draw germany and 5 on poland to turn around their crappy performances against ecuador

Well it's looking interesting so far... 1-0 England, Paraguay keeper's been injured, and about 4 people have been booked so far...

Wow, that twas a good own goal...

I hate early goals becuase you enevitably end up defending the lead for 90 minutes. Paraguay have looked off their game but Santa Cruz or Valdez could easily get an equaliser if they aren't closed down outside the box.

So I would like to see a 2nd goal from England to finish this one off or we could be in for a nail-biting last quarter.

I think Gerrard and Lampard have looked a little off form, no shots on target from either of them.

That's the lighter ball doing that, that is... Their volleys have all flown into orbit... Crouch should have won a penalty earlier... Bah... Two appeals that were good.

Lampard had one saved... but yeah, they should be winning by more than one goal, whether it's the ball's fault or not.

Germany didn't have any trouble with the ball, two wonderful goals.

Hehehe, how about Trinidad and Tobago's 0-0 tie with Sweden. I think we have a world power in the making

lol that was amazing by TaT, shame england didnt perform very well. ivory coast did well against one of the favourites to win, but it asnt good enough to prevent them from winning

I didn't see alot of the England game, i was watchin SA terrorise the Scots at rugby...but from what i saw i wasn't impressed, but i think they'll be better in the "bigger" games..I hope :shock:

Phobia · Post by **Phobia** » Sun Jun 11, 2006 5:41 am

it was just awful tactics, we ended up with a 4-4-1-1 strategy leaving crouch up by himself, who had no chance of scoring.

Kernal_Kronic · Post by **Kernal_Kronic** » Sun Jun 11, 2006 6:08 am

I hate it when teams play 1 up front...England have got good strikers & a great midfield that can score belters from anywhere

I'm looking forward 2 the Netherlands v Serbia, it should be quite good...

oh who just one 3-1 against Japan? Australia, they totally pwned it. 1-0 to Japan until the 84th minute then Australia sscored 3.

johnnyrotten · Post by **johnnyrotten** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 10:31 am

Although Cahill the little rat should have been sent off before scoring the second... :evil:

Phobia · Post by **Phobia** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 1:27 pm

all i have to say is, ouch usa and japan, but pretty amazing czech rep. and australia

What a disappointing opener for the USA. What an amazing comeback for Australia.

Darkfire001 · Post by **Darkfire001** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 3:15 pm

Damn, USA got killed

3-0, mega ouch! I think we'll still fair well with the other teams, but taking 3 goals hurts big time.

whos watching the italy game? they are beating ghana 1-0 right now

Phate · Post by **Phate** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 5:36 pm

Czech republic showed why they deserve their #2 world ranking today.

Phobia · Post by **Phobia** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 6:22 pm

2-0 to italy overall. deserved win

czech might be good, but i dont think they be able to handle the dark horses like at the quarter finals
