Germans had yet another excelent game, and scored some nice goals :D Its obvious that equadorians werent playing their best, probably didnt want to get exhausted before theyr next match against whoever :D

anyway sweden vs england is going to be cool. I want swedes to win against english, but then i dont want english play against germany, nor do i want that swedes would loose against germany. But between those 3 its better if germans and english progress further :D

If you can't tell, Ecuador isn't playing with that urgence like they did in their first two games. I am no fan of Ecuador but if you watched all the games they played, you can tell they aren't playing like they could. Could Ecuador beat Germany if their forwards were playing? Most likely not, but they would be showing better class.

I agree, i believe Ecuador was saving energy.

They did 2 great games....i see no other explanation for the game they presented today.

Anyway its kind useless to run like mad when you are already qualified.

Of course the germans are the ones that have to keep up the good scores.

Actually the WC will restart the next round, and this time is for good.

Now we will see who is up to the title.

Im looking forward to see German X England in the next round.

In this case im with England.

England are playing great so far. This first half alone was better than the previous 4 halves that England played. Playing like that, it will be hard to beat them. Nonetheless, lets see what they do in the second half.

Great goal by Joe Cole. Best goal so far (Y)

Magical goal by Joe Col:happy:y:

Radish?

One of the best goals of the tournament... I thought it was going to shoot right over the goal but it dropped down perfectly! The match is far from over, though at least England are playing a decent game... Rooney looks like a serious player. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended a draw or turned right around, though I'm hoping for an England win.

Fantastic game, why couldn't England play like this in the 2 other games, If we continue to play how we are, we have a really good chance off winning the World Cup.

I dont think England have played that well. We have played adequately, but I would not say we would win the World Cup playing like we are against Sweden!

Cole's goal was out of this world. Goal of the tournament so far.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
