today was interesting. I am happy for Ireland getting the tie. with their personelle problems i would have assumed a loss. Cameroon 1 - Ireland 1 A little suprised at Uraguay. figured they would score more and get the result they wanted. Denmark 2 - Uruguay 1 Huge suprise with the german result. well not that they won, but that they won 8-nil Who said soccer was a low scoring sport Germany 8 - Saudi Arabia 0 thoughts??
I knew Germany was gonna win, but 8-0 i had no idea I thought Cameroon would win for sure, everyone is saying to watch out for them and Ireland has alot of problems right now And i didnt get a chance to watch Uruguay game, but i thought they would of won
what do you think...was the high scoring result due to germany making use of the new and "improved" ball designed for more goals to be scored?
They're also a bad team that gave up after the fourth goal. Not that they had much of a shot anyway, they were getting destroyed, but after that goal they just stopped. Germany didn't. The result, 8-0.
I'm not sure what anyone else thinks, but Nigeria's defense, especially on corners is beyond horrible. That Argentina hasn't scored yet is a minor miracle. Edit : oops. Argentina scored like 10 seconds after I posted this. Nigeria's keeper has some nice athleticism, but horrible instincts.
yeah, and it was on a corner Nigerias keeper is getting paid by some wealthy Argentinians right now(if any still exist) very entertaining game to watsh. so much action. some sweet moves. I am smiling. Why dosnt the US team look like that man we have a long way to go still almost sleep time now (I will miss the middle game tonight
Sleep? I scoff at sleep. I wish I understood Spanish, Univision's telecast is far superior to ESPN's in terms of quality, which is odd, considering they use the exact same footage. Seems kind if weird that, using the same footage, one broadcast is sharper, and ten seconds ahead of the other.
The World Cup is the greatest event on earth for me. 1) Soccer World Cup 2) Olympics 3) NBA finals with the Rockets in it Everything else, including landing on Mars or discovering extraterrestrials, comes in way behind...
Oh, and Saudi-Arabia sucked. But even against opponents that are not that good, winning 8-0 is an achievement. Just ask France ...
A recap Argentina 1 - Nigeria- 0 Spain 3 - Slovinia- 1 England 1 - Sweeden- 1 EDIT:damn sleep deprived brain S. Africa 2 - Paraguay 2 first time nigeria has failed to score in their 9 game world cup history Sweeden is one of those teams that no one wants to play. why is that? I think Argentina will roll them
Sweden was actually better than England in that game. No surprise, because most of the Swedish players are key players in either the English or the German or some other very good league in Europe. However, I expect Argentina and England to advance from that group. Perhaps Nigeria can make it if they manage to beat England. Sweden's chances are very low.
first game of the morning Ticos - 2 China - 0 China played pretty well. or maybe just Costa Rica dodnt. no matter, the 2nd goal was pretty, but the game was closer than the score somehow.
