RC-1162 Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 oh man! the Argies literally fired the crap outta the Serbians. 6-0! thats just cool!
Ztalker Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Netherlands - Ivoro Coast made me sick. Every single Ivorian was begging to give some cards to the Dutch players. On top of that, the referee wasn't that bright....Robben was hit, and fell down ( a abit theatrical), and was given yellow for a 'dive.' Same goes for Van Bommel. Every single Ivorian was kicking around in madness. Van Bommel 'hits' a player a bit, the player shouts 'Yellow!' and Van Bommel get's it. An again, Van Persie was running towars the goal...one opponent player left...who tackles him. Normally, that would be red. But not for the Ivorians! It realy made me sick. With this much football talent, they still play a faul game. They don';t deserve to go into the next round imo. Try to play the game, next time!
Aristotélēsticus Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 i guess that Ivory Coast played well, except the faul part offcourse, but i didnt expect Netherland to play this defensive plan, they have good attackers, why playing defence...i hate defence...
lukeiamyourdad Posted June 17, 2006 Author Posted June 17, 2006 for the guy who's asking about the offside its a rule in football that causes the canceling of an attack: a player is in an offside position if he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second to last opponent unless he is in his own half of the field of play. thats all about offside in general, on the other side i guess that T&T's goal wasnt an offside truly. Hmmm...that doesn't sound right...When somebody sends you a pass and if at the moment the ball leaves his foot you are behind the last defender, it's called an offside. It's hard to get it at first, but after a lot of viewing (and playing) you get the hang of it. Back on topic... Holland-Côte d'Ivoire Ok, Côte d'Ivoire did play an incredible game. The dutch defense seemed so slow compared to their fast attack. Seriously though, I agree with Ztalker. Robben's "dive" wasn't exactly a dive. You want a dive, see Kolo Touré's (Ivory Coast player) action that led to Sol Campbell's goal in the Champions League Final between Arsenal and Barcelona. I know that Robben is notorious for diving, but I don't think that deserved a yellow card. There was clearly some pushing and soccer players all fall pretty easily. Picking on Robben was stupid. In other news, Argentina thrashed Serbia ( ) and it seems that they'll be number 1 of group C. Mexico-Angola wasn't that great a game, but I think that Angola did quite well against the mighty Mexicans.

mattwild Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Saying that Argentina 6 - 0 Serbia/Monty, there was an even worse qualifier. North Korea beat Guam 21-0. Man thats bad.
Niner_777 Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 How about Angola vs Mexico. I missed the last five minutes of the game, but when I left it was tied: 0-0. I have to give a hand to Angola for shutting down Mexico for so long.
Sabretooth Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 LOL, qualifiers are horrible. It's kill or be killed. Japan beat India 7-0 in the Qualifiers, though I love the 2002 WC match where the Germans beat Saudi Arabia 10-0. I must look for the NK-Guam match somewhere. Worthy piece of entertainment.
Niner_777 Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 I'm looking forward to the Italy vs. US today. As much as I may hate to admit it, I like the US. They're pretty cool.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 I'll be damned! Ghana is winning 1-0 over the Czechs only in like the second minute! Looks like a great game ahead.
Mike Windu Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 I could care less about Ghana v Czech, Czech'll win Go underdog U.S.!
abcd1234 Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Well it helps out the US cause seeing Ghana beat the Czechs like that. Now all they have to do is come out and beat Italy.
igyman Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Serbia and Montenegro (my country) performed extremely poorly, but, strangely, I'm not disapointed because I expected something like that 6-0 loss against Argentina would happen even before the game started.
RC-1162 Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 hehe, i guess Vlad'll be disappointed. say, where is Vladimir-Vlada, BTW? anyway, i thought eh Argies just rocked in that match. the 2nd goal was especially cool North Korea beat Guam 21-0. Man thats bad. HOLY S***! Guam must be the worst team on the planet. well, thats not true, cuz the US is the worst team i hope italy thrashes them like the *****s they are.
igyman Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 hehe, i guess Vlad'll be disappointed. say, where is Vladimir-Vlada, BTW? anyway, i thought eh Argies just rocked in that match. the 2nd goal was especially cool I was wondering the same thing myself. Haven't seen his posts here in a long time. Yup they kicked our... rear ends, if you know what I mean.
RC-1162 Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 yup, i do. unlucky you. well, you always have next year
The Doctor Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Actually, the next World Cup isn't for another four years. So he doesn't got next year.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 I could care less about Ghana v Czech, Czech'll win Go underdog U.S.! Well, Czech's lost....but, you know that already. Wow, it's one all at half right now. So, the U.S may just pull it off.
Mike Windu Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Yeah, Ghana winning was completely out of left field XD But hey, better for U.S.! Go U.S.A! btw that red card on us was pure crap :S
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Ok, I know I'm not a big soccer fan who doesn't know all the rules, but do the FIFA referee guys hire Counterstrike Admins or something??? BANNED!!!
Mike Windu Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 What? WORST RED CARDS EVER What a great game ruined by the ref...
Sabretooth Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Wow, Ghana beats the Czech, with 2 Goals! Hope they make it! I'm looking forward to France vs. South Korea today. SK is on a roll, and France has a reputation to win back. I wonder who will win...
abcd1234 Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 What? WORST RED CARDS EVER What a great game ruined by the ref... Seriously, what was he doing?!?!? The US was pushing the attack before the first Italian goal, and then they got the man advantage because of the one good red card in the match (that was a brutal elbow de Rossi threw) and then he goes and gives the US two red cards. I am glad that the Americans were able to hold on and not allow the Italians to get another goal.
RC-1162 Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Although i wasnt really supporting them, i agree. the ref was tossing red cards like candy. The first one was deserved. (the one given to italy) but the other was plain BS. and that own goal truly pissed me off >(
Raevan Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 maaaaaaaaaaan he missed the penalty aaaaaaaaah what an...... croatia 0 japan 0
