just like brazil was going to win in 1998 but got dominated by france? the nice thing about having a few super teams, is it keeps the winner pretty open. then again you never really know if a smaller country might sneak by. however, the current brazil team seems to be 1 of the best they've ever had so who knows.

 

I wouldnt call Germany a smaller country. If that is what you were implying.

 

no they're 1 of the 6 counties who have won. they're definitely 1 of the super teams i was talking about.

as for the us game today, ha. now everyone's blaming the penalty. like dabomb said, if you're the last defender and you take down the lead offense, it's a yellow. however, it happened in the box so it's a penalty. now they're all blaming the us coach sadly. now get ready to hear them whine about the us for the rest of the games.

 

Eric Wynalda did not look very pleased after the game

 

hes not good enough to warrant attention on the world stage.

 

the US played like garbage...IMO, that was not a foul that gave them the PK but we had no chance to win that game and would have undoubtably lost 2-1 whether it came that way or legit. We have no skill and play with no heart. Ghana is advancing because they played with heart, not because they were better than the Czechs. Im glad I dont have to watch that crap again for another 4yrs.

 

ohh and btw, we were offsides on our goal so call it 1-0, fire every player and the coach and move on

 

another funny thing the commentators said was how people in the us might be tempted to skip work to watch the game. they dont realize that entire countries shut down for the world cup. about 6000 trinidadians flew over on a package deal to germany. the best part was after their loss to england, they celebrated more than the english fans simply because they were happy to be there. they're the smallest country to ever make it to the world cup. its a HUGE deal to all these small countries like t&t and ghana who dont have much else to look forward to. its cool to see people so happy about something like this.

 

Pippo Inzaghi is my GOD!

And I hate the commentators too, that's why I watch any game I can in Spanish.

 

This is so true. I don't think they understand how fanatical some countries are about football (or soccer if you prefer). I remember when I was a kid, there were about a million people out on the streets of my hometown celebrating during the '94 World Cup. I would love to hear what a US commentator would have to say about Celtic and Rangers fans killing each other at the stadium because those jerseys they wear respresent not only their favorite team but their religion. In some countries soccer is way more than just a game...

 

Ha thats nothing....the Ivory Coast are in the middle of a WAR and both sides called a treaty for the month.....soccer is the answer to world peace

 

who cares Go Germany.

 

if i remembered any spanish id watch it there too. that and all the hot girls on those channels.

ya wes, thats what im talking about. its nuts how the rest of the world views the world cup.

 

It's gonna start coming back the longer you listen to it w0ady. That's the only way to learn. Why go Germany, go Brazil and go Italy

 

Germany is better than Brazil and Italy.
