i believe i just had an epiphany... lightning has struck my brain... the only team that the US managed a result against is in the cup final!!! 1-1 tie with italy in bracket play... just thought i would share that

 

uhm technically
but practically us did nothing against italy
we did it to ourselves

we got no goals from no team

 

you must not have read this part:
wow, you're right! i hadn't thought of that. the US is as least as good as italy on any given day....we should be in the final!

 

World cup decided by penalty kicks

So anyone going to the local sport stores and buy remaining WC 2006 stuff? There should be some closed out Brazil and Germany jerseys laying around. Maybe 25% of MSRP. I have a non-pro friendly soccer match coming up so I need some gear.

 

guys there's a guy who posted an article for me on the thread "tC girls" it's funny u should read it

 

saying france kicked portugals ___ is an insult and quite idiotic.


that was the best game i believe portugal played all cup.. oh well though. my boys did good, and im proud of them making it to the semis

 

of course it is...they barely made it stroke of luck

 

i agree... i think i said something like france didnt deserve to advance in an earlier post.. it sucks that the game was decided by a pk on a weak call.

 

i think the ref did a pretty good job with this game. he was definitely a lot more cautious in penalty decisions than he was in the USA-Italy game...

I think that though France did get extremely lucky with the PK, they do deserve to move on. Portugal missed out on that bit of luck, but they played equally with France. Again, it's the World Cup, so luck is always a factor.

 

yes PK are mostly about luck

i'm hoping France will play as badly as they did with Portugal

but as many italians think we r very glad for 3 things:

1. Brazil got eliminated - i think a lot of ppl despise their arrogance going in there already thinking of having won
2. We beat germany + on their home turf - after all the trash they put on us and other teams
3. We made it to the finals - and that's no little thing

 

haha, yes, Italy had an unbelievable run this time. Brazil was a bit too cocky, and everyone hyped them up expecting them to be finalists. Germany did much better than they anticipated, so even though they did trash talk a lot, they are to be applauded.

I'm just sad that England didn't move on. Oh well. Guess I'll stick to watching the premiership ...

 

yeah the "golden foot ronalihno"...

ronaldihno who???

but i do admit that maybe he was tired for having played soo well throughout the year in barcelona

 

Prophetic words from the one called Vegasdriver

 

i knew it too but it's diff. not quite as objective as yr prediction

 

Who plans to watch the third place match on Saturday between Germany and Portugal?

 

i'm gonna be visiting friends in NYC on saturday, so if i can find a tv screen, i'm gonna be watching ~ gotta show love to the 3rd and 4th place teams.

 

I

 

Without question... these are 4 of the top teams in the world

 

^^ No doubt...I'll be tuning in.
