World Cup 2006 - Page 9

**BCWWF** · 06-13-2006, 02:21 PM

Although they didn't score, I liked what I saw from Switzerland. They should be moving on now, but I don't see them going on much further than that. Seemed like they had good fans too.

What I couldn't figure out about France is where was Trezeguet? I thought him and Henry were going to be the future after '98, and it seemed like they could have really used him today. I don't even know the guys they started ahead of him, and then they made two subs and still didn't bring him in. I still see France coming out of the group, but not too much further.

A random note, it seems DeMarcus Beasley probably won't start against Italy. For some reason I can see something big happening there, but I will probably just be disappointed again.

**Boondock Saint** · 06-13-2006, 03:42 PM

Nice shot from Kaka. LOL, KAKAAAAAAAAAAAAA

**The Miz** · 06-13-2006, 04:53 PM

This JP guy or whoever who does the US ESPN2 coverage is mad annoying every time he says "Ronaldinho"

**Rob Ban Fan** · 06-13-2006, 04:58 PM

Trezeguet was on the bench but didn't get on, cos the manager is a dick.

The BBC commentary team spent the whole game slagging off Big Ron and Adriano, like they seemed to expect them to be tracking back and hassling defenders and working hard to win the ball.

They have obviously not seen Ronaldo or Adriano play before.

**BCWWF** · 06-13-2006, 04:58 PM

For the US fans, is anybody else disappointed with the advertisements? I mean in the past we have had some sweet ads, like Brazilian airport and the Nike cage matches in 2002 come to mind, but this year all they have is that Adidas ad with Beckenbauer (don't know how to spell it). It was alright, but they play it every time.

**BCWWF** · 06-13-2006, 05:00 PM

Yeah the US announcers kept talking about how Ronaldo wasn't doing much. I don't know, in the years that I have watched Ronaldo, I know he scores a lot of goals but he has never been a player that I think is particularly fun to watch. Have I just not seem him enough or what?

**The Miz** · 06-13-2006, 05:45 PM

I like the ad where the Spanish kids pick teams for a pick-up game; Ciss�, Riquelme, Beckham and others were in it

**SammyG** · 06-13-2006, 05:54 PM

Yeah it is sweet. Then like the kid's mom yells at him cuz he needs to go back home or something and they are pissed .

**SammyG** · 06-13-2006, 06:37 PM

Brazil really was not sharp today. Meh they will still end up winning it probably. I was pullin for Croatia

Then finally the floodgates opened, I'm just wrapped all of my expectations have already been exceded (score 1 goal and get more than 1 point).

Goal difference of +2 will come in handy cos against Brazil we're gonna cop it.

You guys should have seen some of the text messages Downunder and I were exchanging amongst each other during the first 80 minutes, if you think we're pretty racist on here you would be

at some of the shit we were saying about the fucken Gooks. Oh speaking of which, this is my tribute to the cunts. My favourite Japanese player's name features on the second line:

The best was the Jap cunt called Miyamoto - yamoto means "fuck" in Greek. Cunts tonight screaming out "KICK TO 'ME GAMOTO!' " ahahaah gotta love the wogs that support Australia

**BCWWF** · 06-14-2006, 01:37 AM

The Miz and SammyG, that is the one i am talking about, but it was running during the Champions League and has gotten old now since they play it on every ad break during World Cup.

**Joey Slugs** · 06-14-2006, 02:55 AM

So far while watching as many games as I can of this year's World Cup, I can say this.....

It's almost embarrassing to be an American soccer (or sports in general) fan... we can NEVER be as passionate about ANYTHING as fans around the world are about this sport.

It's a fucking shame.

That Gatorade commerical would be sick if they didn't play "Take me out to the ball game" in the backround.

The actual concept of the commerical is actaully pretty good for getting people in the US interested in the World Cup tho, since it shows fans in the crowd with signs saying "Go Home Yankee" and shows them in a tiny shoebox of a locker room before a game with the walls shaking.

In fact I'm not sure if I've ever seen him play well for France. It's really bizzare.

US fans don't beat yourselves up too much. Sounds like your media have been hyping you up waaay too much (not dislike the Englands to be honest!) and well you were never going to do anything anyway. Losing to the Czechs is no bad thing really. They would tonk England right now comfortably.

Missed the Brazil match but lol at all this Ronaldo bashing. Talk about jumping on the bandwagon. If anyone disses Adriano they don't know what they are talking about as well. Ronaldo will score at least 4 goals this WC no problem.

LOL at that Martin O'Neill quote Giuly is tits how he isn't in the squad is amazing. Wiltord just looked fucking lazy/bored. France is full of old timers and certainly don't look winning it right now.

Finally - is it just me or is every African side this time really quite good. Even Togo looked pretty fucking solid and fast and that guys goal was class. Really promising for the future though not many will get through their groups unfortunately.

Arsenal are basically built around Henry though and everything they do is tailored to suit him. With France he has to play alongside Trezeguet or have guys like Zidane sitting behind him and not making runs...dunno, it's a theory anyway.

I dunno what the BBC TV commentators were watching because funnily enough all the 5 Live commentators were saying about Adriano was how well he was tracking back, he kept looking over to the coach to check whether he had to. Ronaldo just stayed up front and wandered around about a 20 meter area the whole time he was on.

Ireland may not have been busy in Germany but the good news is that Eamon Dunphy, Mediawatch's favourite salivating Irish madman and pseudo-philosopher, has been:

On the Czechs' victory over the U.S: "They're lucky they haven't got any oil or they'd be invaded tomorrow."

Excellent

Adriano and Ronaldo are big fat Brazilian tanks. Ronaldo's at his best when he just runs at people. He doesn't do that so much anymore cos he's getting old and injuries are taking their toll but he needs to be given the ball to his feet around the box so he can run at the defence.

Croatia were playing with 5 men at the back and everyone behind the ball, the only service coming in really was Cafu's crosses and a few long range shots. Ronaldo and Adriano aren't gonna be able to just magically do something if they have no space, thats more what Ronaldinho and Kaka and people do.

I think it was more of a case of the Croats playing well and restricting the strikers, rather than Adriano and Big Ron being lazy/shit/disinterested.

Unbelieveable goal to tie it up in the 93rd minute.

**Joey Slugs** · 06-14-2006, 01:51 PM

wow. what a way to pull a point in the group.

**ct2k** · 06-14-2006, 02:16 PM

Well i'm holdin my joint second team Poland can pull of a victory over the Krauts later...It's do or die!

oh god oh god oh god oh god.

Ok... it's not over yet. This is how it has to go.

Germany and Costa Rica blank Equador (CR scoring only 1)
And Poland puts up 3 goals on CR

Then Poland advances. Serious. It could happen.

**Flair Wooo** · 06-14-2006, 04:56 PM

Fucking german cunts.

**ct2k** · 06-14-2006, 05:07 PM

Yet again Poland have failed to produce. Although they showed promise during brief spells today they just never looked like they were taking it to Germany, Krauts were always in control.

**The Miz** · 06-14-2006, 05:24 PM

UGH. Biggest dissapointment ever. What the fuck was Radosław doing when he picked up that red? Our offense was shit anyway and losing a man assured we would have no chances to score the rest of the match.

Boruc though, he was fuckin' awesome. I wanted Kuszczak in goal before the tourney started but Boruc proved me wrong.

Oh well, this is what we get for waiting for the match against the Krauts to turn it on. We played like America against Ecuador.

Ja fucking nienawidzę Niemcy.

**ct2k** · 06-14-2006, 05:26 PM

Alright another Polish person

But still
