[canadateck]

By the Way I did Vote.. we are in the Polls right?

[MeDiCo_BrUjO]

Let's just forget about it!!!, let it go!

World Cup is every four years, don't waste this thread!.

ECUADOR IS GOING TO WIN!!!!

[Craig Tucker]

I hope we start playing better Sunday and knock your boys out

[MeDiCo_BrUjO]

Not a chance!!!

The game with Germany was just a diversion to distract the other teams and make them think that the mighty tricolor was tamed!

I just know for sure that after the game I will have no nails

[MeDiCo_BrUjO]

Oleeeeee Oleeeeee Oleeeeee Oleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Campeooooooooooooooon, Campeoooooooooooooooooooooooon!!!

[Jeremiah58]

Oleeeeee Oleeeeee Oleeeeee Oleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Campeooooooooooooooon, Campeoooooooooooooooooooooooon!!!

No! No! No!
This photo is not WORK SAFE.
Just look at those in the front line! What a pose!
There is always a chance that those guys from behind could get an idea and...well...I'm sure that the "jim from down under" is going to report this one.

Combination photo of referee Graham Poll of England booking Croatia's Josip Simunic three times at their Group F World Cup match against Australia in Stuttgart, June 22, 2006. Poll will learn his World Cup fate either later on Friday or on Saturday following his blunder in handing three yellow cards to the same player during Thursday's Croatia-Australia match.

..following his blunder in handing three yellow cards to the same player

But what about his other blunders?
That Ref must have thought we were playing a combination of rugby and handball.. with two soccer balls.

I *also* feel sorry for the US, in this respect.

[G)-(OST]

rugby and handball.. with two soccer balls.

LOL!!!

What's the big fuss about jimma... jimmalenko? I noticed his avatar shows a guy that looks exactly like Eddie (is that his name? - Herman Munster's son - a little werewolf) ...kkkkkkkkkk The Munsters are so loved here in Brazil....
Jimma, I'm just kidding. Nice to know you like rules. I love rules

[fjmr]

Very nice photo is very similar to a monster that i saw not long ago and not so far but i cant remember where

I made a mistake from the begining list of the poll only one that is Czech Rep is out of the next phase

This only for Soccer fans so take care because if you is not a geek fan could be like to look for the sun without glasses

I actually think the loss to Germany was good for you guys. Bring them down back to earth so they don't go into England over confident and maybe they can steal the game from them.

Croatian team played more handball than football, so the ref just adapted to the situation.

When I watched the game again, it was obvious that the ref should have given 2 more penalties to Australia.

The soccer Gods are frowning on Sweden today

I can't believe he just missed that Penalty kick!

Whoever wins the Argentina vs Germany match will win the world cup.

[Craig Tucker]

Well the Germans have seen Sweden off

Well the Germans have seen Sweden off

It was pretty much all over in the 1st half hour.

[Craig Tucker]

Whoever wins the Argentina vs Germany match will win the world cup.

The Mexicans may have something to say about whether that game even takes place. Made a great start against Argentina, but they have just got it back to all square 1-1

[Craig Tucker]

Argentina should be down to 10 men. The refereeing in this world cup has been a joke. They need to bring Pierluigi Collina out of retirement.

Come on Mexico

[fjmr]

Argentina is growing 10%

7001 votes What a poll!

But today will come back

[mats.hogberg]

They need to bring Pierluigi Collina out of retirement.

Yes, where is Collina when you need him? That Brazilian clown (no offense, Brazilians - You're still the best soccer players IMO), smiling for 5 secs in the face of the player he's going to send off the grass - not even us mods do that (at least not me) when we ban someone! (And if we do, there's no one there to see it...)

[Craig Tucker]

Commiserations mats

[fjmr]

Yah Yah Yah

I suffer also

Sweden come back

They are yellow and blue also

But ok they can go to Stockholm that is nice I have been there

[Craig Tucker]

What a goal for Argentina, Mexico have it all to do now.

Mexico were brilliant and could have pulled it off. I loved the stunned look on Pekerman's face in the first 5 minutes - he looked like he'd been hit with a wet fish.

Argentina owe Rodriguez big time - a superb goal in extra time.
What an entertaining match! Neither side deserved to lose.

Come on England!

[MeDiCo_BrUjO]

Bye Mexico, see ya in 4 years!


Bye England, see ya in 4 years....

....Oh wait, that is tomorrow



GO ECUADOR!!!!

I'm missing Ghana on The Poll list... Soon we'll see if it has to be corrected.
