Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread



Recommended Posts

It was a weak performance from both sides, Beckham's free kick was a lucky one although if "Gammar" or whatever his name was didn't touch the ball the chances were most likely it would of been a goal. Not an enjoyable match i must say, yesterdays first match was more interesting, anyway England won :D thats what matters. I really felt sorry for Crouch, he got so many warnings, he can't help it coz he is too tall for a football player but some of the warnings were silly.

Very fun game, indeed. Funny thing is that both goalies in that game are the subs. Trinidad showed up to play and weren't scared. Unfortunately, they had to defend more often when they were reduced to ten men.

England? Pfft...what a horrific showing from them.

Now its time to watch the Ivory Coast possibly upset Argentina :D

I dislike them too, but this one was quite entertaining comparing them to other rubbish games (England - Paraguay).

It was Sven's reserved Italian tactics that made it dull from a pro-England p.o.v. Our players played very high quality football I feel, ecspecially with the ref making the decisions that he did making our lives difficult every oppurtunity he could.

VERY interesting poll.

I would have said that Germany has a better chance of winning the world cup then England since they are playing at home and the way they played four years ago. And yeah of course majority is going for Brazil. what's new? haha

Now I'm not really expecting anything great from Czech Republic. As you might have heard, they are having a hard time with their players getting injured this year and well, they aren't getting any younger, that team is getting old and I think dried out. But we'll have to see how they do against Italy. I don't think they have to worry about the United States. This country isn't into this game enough to go far..

LOL, I respect your opinion, but almost al sports are like that: (the way I see it)

Football (Original one the one that is actually played with the foot):kick kick kick, goal foul kick kick.. repeat

Baseball: strike, strike ball, strike hit repeat

American Football (1st down 2nd down 3down kick..repeat till someone messes up and touch down)

Box punch punch punch

The thing is that all sports are like that, when you are a fan you see more than the kicks the hits or the punches, you see the passion and the beauty of the game, the colors of your club or the flag of your country . and of course the mighty sensation of scoring a goal in your oponent face GOOOOOOOLLLL, GOOOOOOAAAAALLL... GO WORLD CUP, GO MEXICO GO FOOTBALLL!!!!

Touche. To be fair though, I don't like American Football either. I guess I just like sports with a good flow to them, not ones with constant stops in play. I guess that's why Basketball and Ice Hockey are my faves. Going a hour with no goal and barely even any shots on net is not exciting to me :p

Argentina does not deserve to be ahead by two goals. Hell, I don't even think they deserve be up at all. I sure hope Ivory Coast comes out in the second half and tries to tie it up. Argentina's defense is not as good as it looks.

Ivory Coast reminds me of Senegal from the 2002 World Cup.

WHAT?!

ARGENTINA FTW!

They are two goals ahead, but it should be 3 , technically. The damn ball got in the first time!

Don't expect Argentina and Ivory Coast to make good match. I really want an european team to win the cup. Go Europe!

Well mate....sry to disappoint you but Argertina x Ivory Coast is the best match till now(at least the first half).

Very nice and clean game, exactly how a world cup match has to be.

    • It is remarkable how hearing Japanese can inherently elevate the perceived quality of any experience or product.
    • Your other comment in another article says otherwise, namely "Microsoft veteran wants to replace every single line of C/C++ code with Rust and AI".
    • Sued and... exonerated. Oh, they learned a lesson alright. They learned that anyone who uses the word "antiturst" in conjunction with "Microsoft" is an idiot, even if that person is Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson. That judge ruined the image of the US justice system. Microsoft Edge has a 5.14% market share. Also, Windows is no longer the #1 OS. None of this constitutes a monopoly. Google Chrome, however, has 70.25% share. Also, Google's Android is the #1 OS. Now that's closer to a monopoly.
