People shouldn't underestimate Ghana. Just ask the Czechs and Yanks!
From what i saw of the Ghana/US game the Ghanaians were just a hell of a lot more confident, they looked far better on the ball and they put in more effort, in the 93rd minute they were still chasing down every ball and pressing ahead to try and score another. The US looked disjointed all the way through. # 5 in the world my arse

You can't be fucking serious.

Take your 8 years as US coach and shove it up your arse you dickhead! Fuck I wish we were in the same group as the US just to destroy them |

Wow Joey you really don't understand Football do you
Its GOOD when upsets happen! Good for the game, good for the teams who benefit and good for the fans. Considering how unentertaining Brazil have been i'd not shed a tear if they got knocked out by Ghana |

Polish, Italian, & German is my heritage. I'm not a bandwagon jumper if I'm rooting on my "people". I won't be going to the bar with the national flag around my shoulders like I did for the US against Czech and Italy, but it will be good to have someone to cheer for while I'm watching. |

Actually one thing you said was true, Ghana had nothing to lose, but in reality neither did the US, and them getting to the 1/4 final was as much an 'upset' as Ghana beating the Czechs and in a group with Italy and the Czech rep they weren't expected to qualify, yet they floundered in every game!
Give the Ghanaians some credit and stop being a sore loser Joey! |

God, I fucking hate everything about Italy.
They play utter shit football, and rely on a strong defence to get them through, they roll around like a bunch of pussies every time anyone goes near them, and Camoranesi plays for them, and I literally want him to drown in his own blood. God I hope the Aussies give them a beating they don't forget in the next round. |

So Sven thinks he made the right decision taking 4 strikers to Germany, 2 coming off injuries and NOT 100%, 1 being almost completely untested in the top level (who he's not even used yet ffs) and one who is a long streak of piss not likely to bang in more than 1 in 4

So glad I didn't root for the US. What a fucking horrible show that was. Donovan has got to be one of the most overrated players I've ever heard of. Why the hell was this team hyped up so much? America is lightyears behind the European teams. They need a foreign coach. Arena has had his day in the sun.
So now that the US is out, only a few people in this country will watch another soccer game until 2010.

Having seen the replay just then of the Ghana penalty, US were robbed. But that's what you get when you have that Kraut wanker in charge of refereeing.

Ahahaha I watched The Castle earlier today.
"Dad could not get the smile off his face, and he gave a speech that brought the house down. Darryl: Now as the bride's parents, I don't mind payin' for the wedding, but can you please stop busting all them plates? That being a Greek custom and all. I suppose as a father, you'd like your daughter to marry one of your own. And let's not beat around the bush, the Greeks have a reputation... At first the Petropouloses thought he was having a go at 'em" AHAHAHAHAHAH FUCK I WONDER WHY

I'm technically half English. My mother's English, and the whole of my Mum's side are English. But I was born, and brought up in Wales, and I would never EVER root for England. I'm Welsh, not British, and I'd only ever support my heritage. And that's the way it should be. I don't get Welsh and Scottish people supporting England in the World Cup just because Wales and Scotland didn't qualify. It's ludicrous.

Roight, half-time and it's 1-1. Japan and Brazil are also at 1-1, which means as it stands, we're going through to play Italy and kick seven shades of shit out of them.
Decided to stay at home once again for this game. Didn't really feel like going out anywhere tonight, the pubs up my way have all been pretty shit for football, and plus the Croatians are out in force and I know if we knock them out, some drunk bogan will start them and shit will fly everywhere. Plus for the first time in ages there's grog in my fridge ![]() Very nervy start for us, conceded to an unstoppable free kick in the second minute and we got rattled. But once we started going forward, we've owned this game and fully deserved Moore's equaliser. Croatia have already started pushing men forward so there's gaping holes everywhere. Neill and Emerton have both been allowed huge solo runs. Hopefully we can make it really emphatic 'cos that's what the kiddies like to see. For whatever reason, Kalac got the start ahead of Schwarzer. It better have been because Schwarzer couldn't play because Kalac simply isn't up to it. He's looked nervy every time he's had the ball, and very nearly spilled a corner into the goal. Viduka also blatantly needs a better touch. Come on Aussie. |

Graham Poll was fucking awful. He very nearly robbed Australia of a second round spot. I could write everything he did wrong but I'd wear out my keyboard. Fucking shit.
Get in the Aussies!!! I'm still on the band wagon
