Great goal by KaKa...they gave him way too much room..he just had all day to look and pick his spot..
FWIW, here's an article on rooting for USA soccer that I tend to agree with; I just can't spare the "sports capital" http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hruby/060613
The french are not impressive, their group is very bad so they will make it to the next round(same goes for Germany). The ref in the france game was a idiot. most yellow cards were crazy Brazil will also not have much difficulties getting into the next round, I am curious if the aussies canwin from croatia, that would be great if they do
I should have posted earlier...but I just wanted to say that Swoly-D is God. Thank you sir. If you're ever in a cf catfight I'm squarely on your side.
WHAT??? So i've been worshipping a false prophet? Oh well. You've been pretty cool in other threads, and you did lead me to the promised land...errr...link. Does it work with all the games?
Yeah, as long as a game is on, the Haitian dudes will steal the signal and show it. I personally don't like the fact that those dudes don't know any stuff, and that you can't hear the crowd... EDIT: You're welcome, bnb... I am trying to REFORM as many non-soccer believers as possible...
IMO, Brazil need to replace Ronaldo and Adriano with Fred and Robinho. Ronaldo is past it, and has been for the last couple of years and Adriano is as inconsistant as they come, in the last two seasons he's had one spell of three months without scoring and 3 spells of two months without scoring.
Who's Fred? Ranaldo is fine, the guy just need one chance. Adriano is strong. Brazil need him. I am more concerned with Ranadinho. Dude is much better than what he showed today.
Whose Ranaldo? Whose Ranadinho? Ronaldo was horrendous...he did not make any runs and looked very slow. Those foot blisters must be really bad b/c he is not one to be a quitter, not on the national team anyways. I thought Brazil just toyed with Croatia and were happy with the one goal. Croatia played well though and had many chances.
I would give Adriano some more time, Ronaldo I would sit. Why they have an aging, out of shape Ronaldo still starting for them is beyond me, I guess they don't want to lose the chemistry this group of guys has had. His time is done, give Robinho/Fred some time to develop. Plus that way they can use him as a reserve to give them a lift if they needed.
Ronaldo is a fatso. The man walked around the pitch the whole game. He's done. Ronaldinho on the other hand was being held in check with two or three players on him every time. As for Adriano, the guy looks like he's not really into the game...Brazil might not win the cup this time.
Notice Korea turns into Corea??? I heard since last world cup (2002) that the Korean intentionally used "C" instead of "K" simply because "C" is alphabetically ahead of "J", is that true? C'mon, Korean, your soccer team has been the Asian best team for years and you should be proud of your own country name. And it seems that your team is Asian only hope this year, so "PilSeung Korea"!!!
nope. the reason why it's COREA is because thats THE ORIGINAL Spelling. Then due to japanese occupation (annex) they changed it to KOREA. It's really COREA.
but you were correct about the J before K thing...the japanese wanted all their "colonies" not to precede the J
