Re: WORLD CUP

Re: WORLD CUP

This brazillian team sucks, it was a matter of time for us to get out of this World Cup. Moreover, we have bad luck with France, they have emotional advantage.
Brasil = many stars, but a stupid coach and no devotion to win at all. Very sad =(

Now I am PORTUGAL, although I think that Germany will win \o/

Re: WORLD CUP

GO PORTUGAL, GO PORTUGAL, GO PORTUGAL GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We eat the stakes with a nice orange juice and for the final touch we want a croissant.
In the end we want either a pizza or a sausage.

MBrasil = many stars,

you have a good point there pal. sorry your team lost. But when i watched the match b.n brazil and Ghana- i realized france had a chance. when the africans played the same style as the brazilians, brazil played just like today. but unlike france, the africans gave away goals with counter attacks. with france's defence, i knew we had a chance. and it worked. at least i am glad the goal came in the second half. otherwise, brazil would have given it to us pretty good. One thing also obvious throughout the game was the respect the brazilians gave to zidane- oh boy was i glad. that was a mistake- and i was glad for it.

nevertheless, brazil has been to 3 worldcup finals in the last 4 tournaments- they should let us go there too.

Sorry to break it to ya mate, but it was nothing to do with luck or emotional advantage. France played their socks off last night and quite simply, Brasil were out-classed. I'm not particularly a fan of France (if anything, I am more inclined to support Brasil) but Brasil were made to look like a VERY ordinary team last night. I take my hat off to France - that was one of the most fluid, graceful and stylish performances I've seen (in International football). They fully deserved their win and more importantly, they earned the right to go through.

England, as usual, played badly and wondered why they crashed out of yet another world cup. Portugal will not go the distance as they are not a great side (that fact they couldn't score against England shows there is something amiss). Look at the company theyr'e in now: Germany, Italy, France...they don't have a hope.

My prediction: Germany V France final - Germany to win.

Who will I support now? Based on last night's inspirational performance: France

Indeed. The first time where Zidane actually played good (since the start of word cup). I too think that Germany will win. It's just as if France has something anti-brazil installed in their team. That's what happened in 1998 too. Brazil just can't win over France.
Oh and by the way, Portugal has a big chance of defeating France. After all they have Figo :O

Of course there was something amiss in Portugal vs England ... the name is deco.
To the final we go, you can be sure of it. An furthermore Im anxious to see the duel, Zidane vs Figo, so it can be determined who is the best of the two, last match between this two teams ended up in a poor way with a penalty that i dont discuss but i would say that 3 out of 4 referees wouldn't mark it, that nigth the odds were against us, and i must say france was benficiated. This time is payback time and you can belive that our warriors will break through. It will be a great game of football not a match like the one of england that stared defending Greek style, wich is the most effectiv way to stop our criatives. in that i take out my hat out for mister Erikson that even playing one short played the match equaly.

So I'm 100% that portugal will be in the final now that we can have deco, figo and ronaldo in the midfield, im just not sure wch team can get to the finals from the other side. Germany who's been playing better and against harder teams, or the lucky luck italy.

Re: WORLD CUP

Deco is indeed the biggest thread in Portugal. With him back from suspension, Portugies game will be well sorted in the midfield and they will have a better chance on goal unlike the game they played against England. But if France can keep up thier effort, i think France will win. Ive became a France supporter ever since they defeated Brazil so i hope they win.

 

[kadoman]

Re: WORLD CUP

I'll acknowledge Deco's skill, that's for sure. What I meant though, was that there is something wrong when you can't score against a badly playing English side - Deco or no Deco! I didn't think England were that great defensively!

But as for Portugal reaching a final? Well mate, I hope I'm wrong for you, but I'd bet that I'm not! Guess we'll see soon enough.

France showed that a team needs more than just one or two great players to make it.

Re: WORLD CUP

YEah and thats why i bet on portugal, Scolari is not the best tactitian in the world, is not the best making subs but he is the best at motivating the players. And its because of that even portugal not playing well and cant make those deligthfull plays of magic, even being pushed back, they never surrender, they all play has a block, they play in sacrifice and always 100% concentrated. And that is why i bet my money on portugal, not only for being portuguese, mas for being able to see that this team its all about hard work. And if you can't belive in me you can belive in luck or in something that rules upthere, cuz what ricardo did yeasterday was nothing less than supernatural, he was a god between the goolie guessing again and again were the ball went. For me he was the man of the match, but has I'm not the man in charge in FIFA, I guess Hargreaves serves has a consolations prize.

And for those who didn't know ricardo beat the record of penalties defended on the first 5, ever on the WC setting the new record for 3 at the same serie.

Re: WORLD CUP

it's ironic how england lose..
anyone remembered that before the world cup began, england was pointing out the importance of penalty kicks and they have created special secret training for improving their success rate for penalty kicks..just one thing i have to say to them, "it's not working!"

Re: WORLD CUP

are u sure? zidane altough not at his best as he was 4-5 years ago, still one of the best player in the tournament.
his performance against brazil is the ultimate proof.

while figo.. he still not in-form. and didnt contribute much to portugal's success

it's more reasonable to compare deco and zidane, although i still believe is the best one;, maybe close only to ballack & frings

What??!! Figo IS Portugal!!! Thanks to him Portugul is where it is.

Re: WORLD CUP

Everything points to Germany beating Italy. But just wait, we deserve being where we are and we are not gonna give up that easily. I even bought a $60 Italian jersey for that match!!!

Oh, and ryk, you wasted your money... xP

Not being mean but I actually hope that Germany wins since they have a bigger chance of winning against France. I wouldn't like France to win twice within 10 years... not cewl. So it's nothing agaisnt Italy really.
Infact, I like Italy's Del Piero, even though he played like shit in this World Cup.

Let's wait and see. At least I didn't bought Brazil's jersey!!!!

Re: WORLD CUP

Re: WORLD CUP

Go France

Zidane rocks XD

And everybody hates Italy where I live. Everytime they win a game, all the streets are blocked and they make so much noise you can't sleep.
