Everyone says Brazil but they arent gonna win. Such a good attacking team but there can be some real issues with defense, if you want 3 teams which can the biggest threat to Brazil its, England, Argentina and France.

IAMColonel said:yes, nick, explain yourself that was an anti - australian comment back there?

nickop said:Umm...which comment was that? Im an Aussie- Croat so i'll stil support the Aussies everymatch apart from the one against Croatia.

nickop i was just pulling your leg, no offence issued.

I'm currently in my 10th year of playing, i've scored um alot of goals, i play forward (NORMALLY) but had always played in a bad junior side so i was put into defence or midfield. i'm estimating around 100 - 120 goals?

England 1v0 Paraguay

Beckham's free kick was awesome, although the defender had the defying touch. England really put the pressure on early, consequently i don't remember a Paraguay player standing on the ball (standing with it wothout having to move), i think Beckham's really gonna make his mark this WC.

T&T 0v0 Sweden

Waste of time to watch. Poms will walk through to Rd of 16 now.

Argentina 2v1 Cote D'Ivoire

Saw the goals, right decision with the ball not going over the line for an Argentina chance. But crespo got a tap in a little whille after. Saviola's goal another one of those disputed offsides (along with Costa Rica's and even Ecuador's). Great finish from Drogba!

I doubt you can watch it anywhere else BUT....i do watch international TV - mainly Croatian, Germany and French, these might have the game on via them but might not too. Go here and it might be able to help you.

Dude, that was deflected when the Costa Rican defender attempted to header it out but the spin of the ball go him and wen into the goals instead, it wasnt really Beckhams brilliance, more of good placement with a bit of luck.

11 Jun 2006 - 15:02 Melbourne

England played very convincingly in my eyes, i thought they really put the pressure on the Costa Ricans. They probally should have scored more goals then that but still it was a good game.

Im gonna disagree with you on the Trinidad & Tobago vs Sweden match. I thought that was extremely good to watch, the pace of the game was intense and the amount of scoring opportunities were immense. It had that great attack style of gameplay, sure the Sweds should have won but still good credit to T&T for going attacking too. They could have just sat back and done nothing but defend but instead they really pushed Sweden also, which relieved their defense who must have been tired especially there goalkeeper, Shaka Hislop.

I didnt watch the Argentina vs Cote D' Ivore match but heard it was fairly good. Well enjoy some more pics guys!

The ivoirians should have so won, watched replay on the world game (SBS) today, for god sake they destroyed Argentina. Though argentina played well to absorb so much pressure. FYI the saviola goal wasn't offside

Nick, England actually played Paraguay not costa rica

And Germany scored 3 goals, 4 in fact i was right

GREATEST FOOLBALL GAME IV EVER SEEN i love soccer now

11 Jun 2006 - 20:25 Enedwaith, Rohan, Middle Earth! (melb)

the other one was trinidad & tobago. And they didn't win its just they were celebrating coz it's their 1st world cup (and they are not very good) and they were expected to get killed, but they drew with a very good side.

Why u say foolball?

LOL Woops, yeh i meant Paraguay, im getting them confused with Costa Rica for some stupid reason, yeh you were right, i couldnt believe how good Miroslave Klose played! He was so good and really stepped up especially because Ballack wasnt playing.

11 Jun 2006 - 20:45 Melbourne

yep and hes not even german, polish/kinda russian?

2 absolutely awesome goals but, not his.

Rideo tonight we've got:

Serbia vs Holland 11pm
Will be good game...test for the dutch..me:2-2

Mexico vs Iran 2am
Iran good team...mexico shaky, borgetti is a bit up and down...me:1-0

Angola vs Portugal 5am
Angola debut at WC...Porugal bit iffy...0-3 (ronaldo hat-trick)

11 Jun 2006 - 21:06 Melbourne - Nbo says:when i git my psss im going to have a nice car an have sex in it

Yep your right, he is a Polish German and his family lived in France for a while too The Polish national coach wanted him for the Polish national team but he declined, preferring to wait for Germany! His mom was a Handball player ( popular European soprt) and played for the Polish nationaly team and his dad played football for AJ Auxerre in France! But Miroslav is a great player for Werder Bremen, i think he was the leading scorer for the Bundesliga.

Okay, my tips for tonight:

Serbian vs Holland: Well im actually tip Holland for a hard fought 2-1 win. I think that the Serbs could actually pull a win here, i though Holland wasnt too convincing at all against Australia and their captain Philip Cocu is under a bit of an injury cloud, although van Nistelrooy or van Horseface should score a goal and same with Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie. Edwin van der Sar was a bit sloppy with a few of the strikes from Australia but he should be good tonight.

11 Jun 2006 - 21:27 Melbourne

Mexico vs Iran: Im gonna say Iran with a 2-nil win, i think they're gonna be a bit of a suprise package this WC. Ferydoon Zandi should be a start for them, with his great pace and excellent passing he should set up the goals which Iran will succed with. I think Rafael Márquez will shut down some of then Iranian players but that wont be enough to hold on for a draw.

Angola vs Portugal: 4-1 in favour on Portugal! Easy match for them. They clearly have the far superior players, Ricardo Costa, Luís Figo, Luís Boa Morte, Ricardo Carvalho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco and Claudio Suárez...lol its gonna be very one sided.

We'll see tomorrow what happens, should be an entertaining night though!

11 Jun 2006 - 21:27 Melbourne

Yep totally agree nickop, great night.

being a man u supporter, i wouldn't of condemned u calling him van hosrseface, but noew hes gone i do (on pro evo they call him von hoostlon or something lol)

11 Jun 2006 - 21:36 Melbourne - Nbo says:when i git my psss im going to have a nice car an have sex in it

LOL! Nah he is a van Horseface, i dont like him too much, such a cherrypicker. As soon as someone takes a shot and its deflected watever, he comes on the scene outta nowhere and score i hate it. I used to support Man Utd back in the old days where everbody did too, soon after i got sick of them and now im a massive Chelsea supporter and will vigoriously defend them, espcially with all the buying our premiership slander.

Yeh thats annoying with Pro Evo, the best football game but bloody FIFA currently own the rights and therefore no-one can put real player names and team names.

11 Jun 2006 - 21:48 Melbourne

Ahh well just have ta go threw and rename em all lol
