FIFA World Cup

[Olham]

Here's link for a timetable with all Groups, matches and times.

Today England will play against the United States.

 

And I must say "sorry" to my American friends, but I'm with England here for several reasons.

 

1. England is one of the motherlands of soccer.

2. Americans don't take soccer serious enough

3. It's about time, English football gets a heads up.

A German link though - maybe you want to google it in your areas.

last year in confederations cup they show that their football has changed, i bet this year they will not be an easy opponet, they're walking to a very technical team.

[ShrikeHawk]

Go Team USA! I'm stocking up on beer for the game in just a few minutes.

[Morris]

Viva south africa Viva.

[Silverbolt]

yeah 1 x 1 so far....dude, american defense is ugly, England's defense is god damn crowded, but they play no good with aerial game....

[Morris]

I have just returned home after watching Argentina vs Nigeria live in Johannesburg.

 

It was great stuff. Awesome.

[SUICIDAL]

uploaded some photos of the meeting. Morris.

 

you liked, the way in which the Argentines sing the anthem?

It's shocking

 

 

[ShrikeHawk]

Thanks much to "fumble-fingers" Green. It was a lucky one but we'll still take it.

[Olham]

Hey, the US boys performed good teamplay, I'd say! While England played below their abilities.

[MigBuster]

It was close - the US did well and held in there - and got some help from our keeper too

[Spinners]

A good tournament so far!

 

I'm Welsh but not one of the 'anyone but England' mob so come on England!!

[UK_Widowmaker]

Enjoyed the game with my young lad... I was very impressed by the USA..and like Olham said, a rather disapointing first game for England... But I think it will get better as the cup progresses.

 

As for the USA...Very nicely played, they look a good team, and no longer the laughing stock they were when they first joined the world cup (the fact that 7 of their players are English Premier league regulars may have helped)

 

Looking forward to the next games

[Von Paulus]

At least England has the best coach in all tournament.

This was just the first game.

Aren't you fade up with the vuvzela's sound? The bloody thing is really annoying.

Here I am getting my vuvuzela ready for englands next match.

Aaaarrrghh!!! OMG - Davy TASB, you are an English clown - often hitting below the belt.

And...there is no such word as 'tret'...but I won't hold it against the Northern Monkies! :rofl:

[Olham]

I see, you guys are having fun!

 

Soon will be the match Germany - Australia.

Now, the Australians are clearly outsiders here - but we know from OFF, that the Aussies can fight!

So I can only hope, our boys won't take it too easy.

Shouldn't have any problems if the Middlesbrough goalie plays for Australia.

His name is Brad Jones... he is crap!

Stop Tim Cahill and you will win easily.

 

I think it will be an easy 4-0 win for Deutschland

Not sure about 4 - 0; the Germans rarely play out such high differences; they keep their energy

for the next match after a lead of two goals, I'm afraid.

 

My tip was 2:1 for Germany - we will see.

[Hasse Wind]

Seems like 4:0 is not going to be enough. A bad day for the Aussies.

[Olham]

Guys, I can only say: Germany presented a new football here today.

They had announced it in their team play during the European Cup 2 years ago;

then some were a bit depressed after not winning that, but they were and still are

a young team, and today they showed, that the old way of playing (you lead, so you

lean back and close your penalty area) belongs to the past for them.

 

If they can keep up such an energy through 90 minutes for the coming plays, they

are a team the others can only fear, I'd say.

I had expected through the last decades, that German football would become more

and more boring "safety play" - but this team has blown my dark clouds away!

[UK_Widowmaker]

Lets hope Germany haven't peaked too soon, and get carried away!...Australia are a mediocre team....it will get a lot tougher!

[Olham]

Yep - that's the main danger. And the Championship is still a way to go.
