I didn't get to see the Korea vs Switzerland match, but I'm disappointed. ( I picked Korea to win the World Cup, heh... )

I'm very sad that Korea lost, so no asian team left in the world cup. And i lost in the betting too. oh holy shit

Germany and Argentina better win...

Argentina was my second pick for this World Cup.

Who would that be? I thought Japan and Korea were the only ones that qualified?

Japan is really bad on playing soccer, do see brazil vs japan match (4-1)
But korea is really good their spirit and concentration
Korean is really cheated by the referee in the last match vs swiss. i watch it last night.
The linesman has raised the flag means offside. but the referee don't see it. So there is the second goal from swiss by alexander frei

Really bad bad referee from argentina

I feel bad for South Korea too. I was hoping a rematch of Spain VS South Korea...too bad it's not gonna happen...but I think it was a good call by the referee.

It was a really good call, something the referee commity needed after Graham Poll's incompetence.

Come on you fuckin Swedes!! Two more goals!! Your goalkeeper is acting like Tommy Salo in 1994 Olympics!

Masa · « **Reply #212 on:** June 24, 2006, 06:51:37 PM »

Sweden is out!

Germany was so much better it's not even funny. They made Sweden look really bad.

tenkei · « **Reply #213 on:** June 24, 2006, 06:52:06 PM »

oh MAN! sweden got fucking trounced! pathetic defense the entire game... howd they get past the group stage?

dogme · « **Reply #214 on:** June 24, 2006, 06:53:46 PM »

Yeah, GERMANY qualified to quater final round. They beat Sweden 2-0

But I think GERMANY to close their weakness in defensive. If GER will face ARGENTINA in next match, Crespo & Co. will make a lot of problems.

I do hope you're being sarcastic, as there is no way you could consider that to be a good call. First of all, it was a deflection off of a Korean player, not a korean player losing possession so Frei WAS offsides. Second, both sides stopped playing (the swiss only for an instant) when they saw the flag raised, even Frei. You can't call a goal in this instance because a referee interfered with play. It's the same as letting play continue when a fan runs onto the field. It's as they say, Players win games, Coaches lose games, and Refs ruin games. Truly one of the biggest blunders of the cup.

Seconded. D:

That's the shittiest 90 minutes I've ever had to watch. It's acceptable during a penalty if the shot gets blocked by the goalkeeper, but entirely missing the goal? Nice finishing, Larsson.

Oh well, can't expect much from Sweden anyway. They haven't made it through the semi-finals since forever. Oh, and the referee was a prick.

SELF GOAL? Who scored it Argentina or Mexico? I just hear my dad screaming lol

daigong · « **Reply #218 on:** June 24, 2006, 11:26:59 PM »

Oh, Maxi Rodriguez. Hope Argentina can hang on!! 2-1 they leads.

Masa · « **Reply #219 on:** June 24, 2006, 11:34:41 PM »

Alright Argentina beat Mexico 2-1 and they will face Germany next. I bet it's gonna be one epic match.
