i rushed home from work to watch the replay of the brz-cro game. it wasnt too good of a game for brazil. they played great during the first half. but the 2nd half, they were pressured heavily by the croatians. i really expect a much better performance the rest of the tourney.

watching the brazilians play is pretty amazing. their ball handling and short distance passing are almost flawless. ronaldinho at times shook off two defenders. Kaka's goal was great. he didnt need to put in too much power, but he was able to use the angle+spin to beat the keeper.

Thierry definitely hit that guy on the hand and it should've been called a hand ball. I expect France to advance to the next round.

ok... i think ronaldo seriously needs to stop daydreaming...

kaka did such a nice job...

I thought Ronaldo's performance yesterday was the worst I've ever seen from a pro footballer. He never made any attempt to get to the ball, always walking and at best, jogging. Especially as he is a centre forward, it was just embarrasing.

Woo Korea! The Voodoo priest was wrong! He got the score right but the winner wrong.

I think I saw a voodoo priest, with his beads and shit

Spain Ukraine, 4 nil baby!

Ukraine was destroyed. Schevchenko didn't have any sort of chance, and he was the only one you'd ever see in the penalty box..

Fuck yeah!

Now that is how it should've been against T&T in the first place.

sakurasake · « **Reply #136 on:** June 15, 2006, 11:33:15 PM »

man... paraguay tried so hard... esp the goalie... those shots he saved was awesome... that guy who ran so fast to save the ball from getting in was awesome too... wish they had won instead... guess this is all about luck after all...

just getting into this convo now since i'm new, but wow i'm looking forward to see korea in their next game! my pick for winner is brazil...gotta love ronaldinho but that ronaldo needs to suck it up and step up his gameplay!

yay for england finally putting an attacking formation on the pitch. T&T put everyone behind the ball and packed the midfield, and until lennon and downing came on the pitch, england couldn't get any width. maybe they shold play beckham at right back for the rest of the tournament!

a shame that paraguay couldn't hold on for the draw - if they had, then england would have been confirmed as group winners. ah well - sweden have loooked very unimpressive in their opening two games.

two cracking games today: argentina v serbia-montenegro and holland v ivory coast. might have to leave work at 2pm again today

Tuffty · « **Reply #139 on:** June 16, 2006, 05:08:11 PM »

Well, it's like Ian Wright said. Argentina S&M whipped Serbia and Montenegro today. The best team performance of the tournament so far.
