Re: World Cup 2006 Mini game. JOIN IN!!

Yeah, Portugal Vs Holland with 4 red cards!!?!!? plus 6 minutes of stopage time, at the end they weren't even playing football anymore. I think Holland Deserved to win! Same for Ecuador, they played defense well but too much that they didn't attck much. If Cole wouldn't have put his leg and Ecuador would have the lead 1-0, it might have being diferent. But that's football. You need luck aswell to win.

MaxDam, you think Holland deserved to win?? even the president of fifa doesn't think that way.. did you see the game? Holland players entered like karate fighters..
 
Re: World Cup 2006 Mini game. JOIN IN!!

Of course I saw the match! Portugal was also violent! Figo gave a Headbutt!
To me Holland played better. Cocu unfortunatly hit the bar. The game had a tie, what an exciting game it would have being.

"Figo gave a headbut"
You forget that Ronaldo was knocked out with a kick that is forbidden in almost every martial arts' competitions, Deco saw the red card when he was throwned away by Cocu, Figo was hit in the face with an elbow and Petit was tossed to the ground when he was talking with a Holland player that was on the ground!! "Figo gave a headbut"?? in his place I would have started a MK round

someone needs to teach the swiss to hit penalties. did you see the ukraine guy that chipped his penalty down the middle. that was class.
Shevchenko missed his penalty just like he missed in the champions league final.(got your cheap pop in b4 you D.S ;))
 
Re: World Cup 2006 Mini game. JOIN IN!!

ok that penalty kick at the death was total crap but Australia really should have put the game away well before that moment. Italy played an excellent defense with ten men and Australia were unable to break them down, so yeah, a bad way to go out of the tournament but even without the penalty the Australians might not have won anyway. So that's me out of this little tournament.

The whole match had bad fouls from both teams. Like I said I.M.O.
, in my opinion, Holland played better. Take away the fouls for a sec. Holland played better. Portugal just got to the offense with counter attacks, less often but effective, and they scored once. You are in the quarter finals. That's what matters the most. Well that's my opinion, like it or not! It's mine! :P

D00d, MaxDam v MaxDam up next I think. Who do you think'll win, Max?
 
Re: World Cup 2006 Mini game. JOIN IN!!

I'd wish France to win and face Brazil in the quarter finals. I not sure who will win, both are very good but France as a little problem, there are good players like Zidane, Viera, Henry,...but they don't seam to play good together.
I hope France will win even if Spain is favorite this time!
 
Re: World Cup 2006 Mini game. JOIN IN!!

i dislike the frogs as much as you, but unfortunalely they won, and play my team BRAZIL!!! in the next round after they nocked out some wee diddy team, does anyone no WHO?!?!?!? they are:lol::lol::lol:
Also if i ever have to sit through another game like ukraine vs switzerland, i think i may kill myself....and i thought england were bad:lol:
 
Re: World Cup 2006 Mini game. JOIN IN!!

England won't go through the next round if they keep playing like they are doing!
England & France never liked each others lol, but you have to admit that when they play against each others, what an exciting match it is!
