Pukko 0 Posted June 3, 2002 Shit how good Italy looks then! Only 16 minutes in, but it looks perfect... If not Portugal or Germany do good, they are already in the final-final EDIT: Ooops, forgot Spain - might do a good cup for once.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 3, 2002 Oh, shit. Poor Ecuador. They are running over them. Damn, Italy is good this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InRange 1 Posted June 3, 2002 What? Italy? Where? Damnit, I'm missing out on all these matches because of the damn time difference. All the matches are played at either 8.30 in the morning, 11.30 in the morning or 13.30 (1.30 pm) in the afternoon. Thank god the next World Cup will be held in Europe again.

Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted June 3, 2002 I wanted to add so many countries more, but no space. Spain is indeed a good team, but unfortunately didnt get to the final-finals during the last cups. And I had to list also some "New-comers"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tex -USMC- 0 Posted June 4, 2002 well, all your yammering on about soccer has convinced me to stay up and watch some world cup soccer. usually I only watch the championship game, as Ive found that championship games are more enjoyable, even if you dont like the game in question. Oh, btw: If the game I watch is a 0-0 tie, I am going to kill someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Postduifje 0 Posted June 4, 2002 Since Holland isn't at the worldcup, I have to choose another team to support, but this cup is full of dualities. -Korea vs Belgium for example. I've watched that game torn in two. Our beloved southern-neighbours against Korea with a dutch coach. -Germany vs Ireland also. Ireland is the reason Holland is not there right now, but Germany have tormented us with our absence (something like: "Ihr seit nicht dabei"). They must both suffer from a terrible defeat!!!

IsthatyouJohnWayne 0 Posted June 4, 2002 If you want a great game then on present form watch any Brazil game- they may not win (or care about defense) but they WILL play beautiful football (they did against Turkey) except for one blatent exception Rivaldos stupid faking of injury the ball went out of play a turk kicked it at him,and hit him on a leg he grabbed his face like he was seriously hurt and got the turkish guy sent off http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3....985.stm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aehm, BTW here comes my NEWEST THESIS! I bet soccer will become very famous in the US during the next decades! I think this will mainly be caused throgh the immigrants moving in the US (and those that are already there). I bet there are already quite many mexican teams to be found in the States, just playing for fun. Also, locations like central park are great to play soccer!

Postduifje 0 Posted June 4, 2002 IsthatyouJohnWayne, I don't entirely agree. I mean, Brazil has lot's of good players (individiually the best), but I don't think they played beautifull football against Turkey, nor did they in most of their qualifying matches. They will probable come along way, if not all the way, but in this last match, the Turkish football was better looking than the Brazilian. And btw, in the semi-finals match of 1998 Holland vs Brazil, Brazil was all about defending They played with 10 defenders and Ronaldo. That's sucky soccer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
