Neowin's Official World Cup 2006 Thread

No quarters for England.

You are really starting to annoy me now. At first I humoured you, and I even made a serious reply to some of your comments!

Now you are just constantly flaming. L3thal cant you do something about him? I know you cant warn or ban him or anything as I dont think fmod's can, but you could maybe tell a gmod or a super...

Whats with the whining? Let him have his say. If Brazil win the cup he will most likely spam the forums and get banned anyway.

His say consists of "England are ****", "Brazil are Godlike", "all you England fanboys are flaming Brazil". I dont really see any England fan's flaming Brazil?

I even said this to him, as a reply to one of his other posts:

Who the hell is bashing Brazil? The only thing people are saying about Brazil is that they are not performing to their capabilities at the moment, but in my opinion they undoubtably will before the end of the tournament. As an England fan I also admit that England have not been performing to potential as well!

As a football fan I absoloutely love Brazillian football, at times it makes me drool! I aint saying Brazil will win the World Cup, but they will be there or thereabouts come the end of the tournament.

So please, stop acting like everyone is bashing your precious football team, you are just trying to spark a reaction, while having a dig at England and it's fans at the same time.

His next few posts consisted of more slagging off of England, so he is obviously not open to a discussion. Dont get me wrong, I am all for people expressing their opinions, but not in this repetitive and annoying manner.

Listen, jerky. England has a better chance to beat Ecuador than Brazil has to beat Czech Republic, Italy, or Ghana, so I would look at myself before looking at others.

I know you cant warn or ban him or anything as I dont think fmod's can

Who said we don't have as much access as gmod's? :shifty:

I would just ignore Romario Brazil if I were you. The best way to get back at him is to wait for Brazil's departure from the tournament :laugh:

But going on the 3 games, can you disagree with "England are ****"? When comparing them to the likes of Brazil, Argentina etc.

[Y2Stu]

well Brazil arn't playing well so how can u compare them to Argentina

[Romario Brazil]

Martyn, Sorry! :blush: I can't predict if a simple opnion will hurt a sensible heart :whistle:

What's wrong say England will not face quarters? This is just a opnion.. (and if you get scared with this, it's because you know this is truth).

Now you are just constantly flaming. L3thal cant you do something about him? I know you cant warn or ban him or anything as I dont think fmod's can, but you could maybe tell a gmod or a super...

Really? L3thal is bashing Brazil since the topic started.. but I just said a innocent comment and you get scared.. get low my friend.

Comment from England guy living in United States about "soccer" = nothing. Sorry but I no see England smell in last competitions.. only hype words about PL and blah blah blah

Sorry for All ;)

I have my sources :shiftyninja:.

Cheers though (Y) :)

If you did read some of my previous posts you would see I have been quite critical of England in my own right. They are obviously not performing to their potential.

Martyn, Sorry! :blush: I can't predict if a simple opnion will hurt a sensible heart :whistle:

Thanks for taking my feelings into consideration. I can see you coming into my heart just like my pal Deuzy :laugh:.

What's wrong say England will not face quarters? This is just a opnion.. (and if you get scared with this, it's because you know this is truth).

It's your opinion on how well England will do, I am not taking that away from you. It's just the fact that you point finger's at England fan's slating Brazil, when most genuine football fans like them.

L3thal is not an England fan.

[Romario Brazil]

England never played their potential, except for 1966. Hm.. Euro 2004 memories :whistle:

Too bad A) I am not English, B) I am not an English fan, C) I am Portuguese, D) You are wrong but good job guessing, E) Brazil isn't winning this cup, F) Brazil isn't winning this cup...wait, I just said that :pinch:

I have my sources

Just an FYI, your sources are wrong ;)

[Martyn]

Just an FYI, your sources are wrong ;)

Well I cant remember if it applied to the forums mod's or newsposters, or both :/

Time for my beauty sleep now though. Night.

[Julius Caro]

Come on stop feeding the troll :p

[Romario Brazil]

C) I am Portuguese

U? voc? ? Portugu?s ? l?ngua p?tria do meu cora??o querido gajo !

Olha, desde que Cabral chegou por essas bandas esse pa?s brilhou e continua brilhando inclusive no futebol.. eu at? entendo que voc?s Portugueses c? sentem uma grande inveja pelo grandiosismo que nosso pa?s ?, somos realmente grande e cativantes e voc? sabe muito bem que somos os melhores do mundo no futebol.

Voc? como bom torcedor j? devia saber que futebol ? uma caixinha de surpresas, imprevis?vel. E que o Brasil pode muito bem destruir a Inglaterra apenas com o time reservas. N?o somos feitos de Porto e Sporting, somos feitos de S?o Paulo e Flamengo meu c:)o.. ? outro n?vel :)

A Inglaterra nao tem uma boa equipa, e eu sei de isso. Mas, o Brasil este ano tambem nao e o Brasil do 2002. O Ronaldo nao esta a fazer nada de jeito e o Ronaldinho tambem nao tem estado muito bom, escalhar por causa da fatiga da Liga dos Campeos da Europa e do campeonato exigente de Espanha. Ainda falta muito para ver neste Mundial.

Vamos ver quem e que;)anha na proxima fase ;)

:)r />Back to English :)

[geek_rohit]

A fantastic first half, but a sorry second half. They did not defend the set pieces well. They conceded the goals in the form of a free kick and a corner kick. Fantastic goal from Joe Cole. Stevie G scores again.

Owen's situation isn't a pleasing news. He is an important part of the team. And Sven now has only Rooney and Crouch at the attack. Theo Walcott is there, but he is inexperienced. He has played only one game. I think picking Jermain Defoe or Darren Bent would have been great. Rooney is still recovering and still has to reach his peak form. With only Crouch at the attack now. It would be a bit of a worry now. England top the ground and that's what important. Ecuador should be relatively easy but the game after that would be a different one. Portugal, Mexico, Argentina or Holland would be their next opponent and to beat them England needs to have a performance similar to the first half of this game, or maybe even better.

Good Luck England.

[Krpano]

Come on stop feeding the troll :p

Oh man, thats make me laugh. :laugh:

Anyway, England did a good first half but in the second one they simply disappeared. Thats because Rooney couldnt perform in the second like he did in the first.

At least they achieved their objective, avoid Germany in the next round.

Sweden could have won, but they were unlucky.

Some good games today too.

Yay !!!

[geek_rohit]

Some good games today too.

Yay !!!

Yes. Good games today. Italy and Brazil will be favorites for their respective games, but they won't be so easy. Both Czech and Japan can put up a few surprises.

My predictions:

Czech Republic 1-2 Italy

Ghana 2-2 USA

Japan 1-3 Brazil

Croatia 1-1 Australia

I made a mess last time. What a typo i made :p

My prediction the last time were:

Ecuador 3 - 2 Germany (This was the typo i wanted to put it Ecuador 2 - 3 Germany, instead i put it as Ecuador 3 - 2 Germany :p Germany did win by 3 goals but none scored by Ecuador)

Costa Rica 2 - 1 Poland (Got this spot on :D)

Paraguay 2 - 1 Trinidad and Tobago (Was close here, Paraguay won 2-0, only T&T didn't score)

Sweden 0 - 3 England (Completely wrong here. Sweden 2 - 2 England was not what i expected, but then thats football)

[Guest]

Owen out for 5 months. Great news for my Newcastle :rolleyes:

Brazil and Italy play tomorrow. Todays fixtures are:

Portual vs Mexico

Angola vs Iran

Ivory Coast vs Serbia and Montenegro

Netherlands vs Argentina

[Krpano]

^ guys, are you crazy ? :D

im the crazy one....lol

better pay more attention next time.

Italy is not even in the same group as Brasil.

Brasil will play with the second from the group E, next round.

Tomorrow Brasil will play against Japan.

And Italy x Czech...what a great game it will be.

[S.MULLA]

lol at the hand ball by the mexican.. :D good penalty shot by portugal.

[Martyn]

The Portugal Mexico game is quite entertaining. Portugal are playing quite well.

[S.MULLA]

2-1 to portugal now .. good goal by mexico..

[RootWind]

Mexico a man down... shouldn't have argued.

[S.MULLA]

now i understand why FIFA rank mexico 4th in the world.. look at how they are playing against Portugal with a man down. they are totally outclassing portugal.

[qdave]

maybe they outclass portugal but it still wins. That shows something, doesnt it :)
