[Baldrick]

I'm still voting Germany...

France is very good team.

-Yeah.....that's it, Baldrick! Some guys who don't like football (soccer) may get back to play with their dolls. lol lol lol

[Jeremiah58]

There is a saying (at least in my country):

"The soccer is the game in which other play and Germany wins!"

I'm affraid that that is going to happen here.
My favorites, the teams I like to watch, Brazil and England, are out, so I vote for Portugal.

Oh, no! You have left the poll option "I don't care!"
I wonder if those advocates for "I don't care" would come again to torture.

[gadgetguy]

I voted "I don't care" in both polls. And have refrained from commentary because I really don't. But it might be interesting to add the option "I no longer care" for those whose teams are already out and have lost interest.

[AngusMacGyver]

Normally, I woud be sad, but I'm not. Brazil deserved to be eliminated because "walked on the field". I think it was one of the worst match Brazil have ever played.
I'd like Portugal won, but this Cup will go to German hands.

[G)-(OST]

Well i'm going for Germany. BTW thanks Baldy

[Cunhambebe]

Brazil deserved to be eliminated

-Você está certo... I do agree with you; as I've said before, Brazil may have a lot of stars but they didn't know how to play as a team. Go Portugal, Go!!!

[fjmr]

We are still sad

But sports is this way There is a time to win and a time to lost

Like Baron Cupertain said * Important is not to win but is to compete *

But dont worry we will be back 2010 on South Africa To be Champion

GO BRAZIL!!!!! Vive BRAZIL and Vive la France why not!!!!!!

[ofbarea]

Argentina and Brasil are out...

So Go Portugal...


But for me it was a big shcock to see these teams goint away...

[Cunhambebe]

Vive BRAZIL

-What's this? You mean, Viva o Brasil or Vive le Brésil ?! lol lol

[G)-(OST]

I'm back from Germany. I watched 5 games and the best was sweden - paraguay...great athmosphere with almost 50000 swedish fans. We tried to get tickets to swe-eng but the price was way too high, €1000/ticket.


Sweden - Paraguay



France - Korea

A couple of great photos there mate, just thought they should be in the new thread

[Baldrick]

When the world cup is in Europe wins an european team (except once in 1958 when Brazil won in Sweden).....so not that big shock....

[Craig Tucker]

Never thought it before the tournament, but I have to agree with Baldrick and say that Germany have looked very strong, so they get my vote.

I think

1 Germany
2 France
3 Portugal
4 Italy

[limpy]

Portugal has been one of the best in the world for the past 4 years. I'mm looking for them in the final against Germany. I think Portugal is better than Germany but Home field is a huge advantage!!! I'm going with Portugal but it very well may be Germany.

I posted this on the other thread without knowing that this one existed. So please don't report me for doublepost.

SO MUCH TO COMMENT!!!

My damned internet connection died friday afternoon and the brighthouse technician couldn't make it until today.

Ok, first about England vs. Portugal:

How does it feel to have a referee biased against your team uh?, I'm not saying that we lose the game because of the referee (like Australia-Italy), but he was indeed in favor of the lads.
He dismissed Rooney from the field, it is a matter of further discussion, but please!, he DID took a firm step on the other player's balls.... I saw the replay a hundred times... that wasn't very nice.
Overall, England was a better team, but as usual, lady luck didn't smile upon them this year. Now you feel like I do, to play an awesome match and lose by a single slip. (GOD DAMN YOU BECKHAM!!!)

Regarding Brazil: As a South american, I feel like Brazil is representing me too, but God knows I wanted them to lose this game. I think that that bunch of people wearing the yellow/green uniform weren't representing anybody else but themselves.
I know many people from Brazil and they LOVE footbal, they LOVE their country, and when those two elements are combined, a great passion is unleashed and hopes are sky high!...
But the national team this time... they played without passion, without life...
Rocky fans will understand me, they didn't were hungry, they didn't have the eye of the tiger. They thought they were the shit, they played like they were facing schoolgirls instead worthy adversaries, and they lost miserably.
The best players in the world made the worst team EVER.
Ronaldo didn't even take care of himself physically, he is FAT period!. If he knew that the world cup was coming, please train and lose some weight for God's sake!.

And the worst thing I have ever seen this world cup by far:

The referees.

My take: Germany is going to win.

And Zidane did sweat his shirt, he got his deserved price. Kudos to him.

My simpathy to the people of Brazil, it will be in four years. To the team of Brazil: WELL DESERVED!!!
I hope they will never be in the national team again, as they don't deserve it. At least I know that the media in your country will scald them to death.

My 2c.

You are right Medico Brujo

We are going to scalp them when they camback

What a shame

São Paulo F.C. did much better becoming world champion

All I really care is if Italy get their rear ends handed to them in a pasta bowl - a last minute penalty after extra time would be even better

Deutschland! Deutschland! Uber Alles! Italien ohne Ehre!

[G)-(OST]

I second that!!!

[limpy]

Weird stuffs going on. I went down to the Portuguese club to celebrate the victory yesterday. I left and went home to watch the Brasil France game. My cousin stayed there and said later that night after Brasil lost some Brasilians were there and they cut up their Brasil shirts and were stomping on them in anger.

WTF!!! Who would do that?? The brasilians I know were very sad and they gave all the respect to France but anybody disrespecting their own country over soccer should be shot at dawn!!!

-I see you are very concerned about shirts, aren't you? But those were only shirts and not the National Flag. lol lol Anyway, if you think those Brazilians shoud be "shot at dawn" as you have put it... what can I say? :P Maybe you're one of those guys like SuperSupereme lol lol

[Conquest10]

Since Brazil is out, I'm saying Germany. You can't deny that home field advantage. Especially in the Argentina game.

[AngusMacGyver]

In my opinion, Brazilian players disrespected their shirts before. Brazilian people is like that: nothing else 1st place is enough.
I think it was even worse because the team has lost with no honour.
