The Germans won't win the tournament, based on that shoddy, bull**** display that they showed vs. USA. Perfect example of negative vs. positive football - USA lacked finishing touches up front - if Germany play like that vs. Korea or Spain they will get hammered.</font>[/QUOTE]Sorry to interrupt you Memnoch, but Germany won the WC three times and two out of those three they did it with extremely boring football, so i think they might just get away with that one more time.

Yes blondie, it is !!!! :D :D

Actually it is about FOOTBALL but no matter! :D
As for England-Brazil the "best" thing was that Brazil played with 10 men on the field after the-exagerrated-red card on Ronaldhinio,without anyone noticing it,most of all England... [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img]

no,it's handball!football is played using the hands to play the ball.so soccer,which uses the feet,should be called handball. :D ya gotta think differently like us americans. :D :D

Perhaps they should call it american handball - but I guess the same problems will just crop up again ;)

Hell, I know we lost. I'm sorry to all those die-hard fans who are still sitting on the sofa staring at the screen in hope that they were dreaming, but that's life.
You gotta admit, though, Rivaldo did another dive. Can't exactly remember when, but it was there.

Hey, Rivaldo, it seems on the pitch no one but the ref can here you scream :D

It was when England were on the attack in the 2nd half and he had to clear the ball over the sideline. He went down in "agony" clutching his calf even though nobody was near him. Very creative way to waste time and get more defenders into the box. :rolleyes:

Then again, Becks performed two acts of "simulation" in the Brazil penalty area as well in the hope of getting a penalty. You win some, you lose some. ;)

Brazil deserved to win - they played some positive football, even when they were one man down.

He went in to a tackle with his studs up if you no anything about the game you'll know this is a bookable/red card offence and not exagerrated at all

Oh well. At least I can still shout

GERMANY-1 ENGLAND-5 !!!!!!!!!
