sammy kuffour as we know him from the bundesliga...
italy was very disappointing...but they always fuck up the first round...I wonder why people always complain about german football being not so attractive...when was the last time you saw a game of italy being great (fuck all of you who's answer is 3:1 in the final of 1982)...italian football is the most unattractive and boring shit...Roth Army Icon

They weren't great, but they were solid, from beginning to end. Sure they were lucky that Ghana never were able to finish their attacks (how many kicks 5 metres away from the goal?), but IMO they were the first "convincing" team since the beginning of the Kup.Originally posted by DavidLeeNatra

Twas a great game mate, and one which I'm sure will go down in folklore for this country.Originally posted by trueblue
i'm over the moon guys...where's Grant and my fellow Aussies??.....i knew we could get past Japan and we did...and in fantastic style.. 2nd half was Australia all the way...second round beckons and Brazil and Croatia have been warned....wish i could celebrate with our heroes for making late night viewing end in joy.....wanna hear what ya all think?...Is USA gonna follow our lead against the Czechs??..slim chance i reckon..but i'd be delighted if they pull off a shocker and win...Meantime, Australia is the show-stopper right now..
The Japs played fairly well but we did dominate the game more. Their advantage was their speed, ours was our heights in comparison. You can see the difference when Guus played on Kennedy...and the result was Cahill's first goal after Kennedy's header over the Japanese keeper. I was fuckin' furious when the ref allowed that Japanese goal after the clear impeachment by the Japs. At least, our late goals cancelled it out and the ref admitted to the mistake afterwards.
We're in a good set-up for the 2nd round.Comment

I think they were fine, mate. We're used to the hot climate and much of our players play in the EPL and Serie A...so they should be used to playing against the world's best.Originally posted by DavidLeeNatra
I hope this game was not too hard for your socceroos...it was very hot and they played a fast game in that heat...fuck kroatia! aussie and brazil next round!Comment

a goal fucking five minutes in...and would have been interesting to see what would have happened had Reyna gotten that one in...
but such is life...
now we need to win the next two...
don't see it happening...but you never know...
Obviously...they'll be up for Italy on Saturday...
but boy did they look like complete ass yesterday..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

You're spot on Grant...the Japs are always fast and actually made our guys look quite leaden and slow in patches of the game...again the heat was quite obvious, even watching the game on TV made me feel for the guys suffering in the sweltering conditions..i think 9/10 times the first goal by Japan would be disallowed in any game, anywhere in the world....we might not dominate in football as we do in several other sports but our fighting and comeback abilities are never to be under-estimated and we showed that in terrific style last night...hope we can stop Croatia and hurt Brazil...so happy for Tim Cahill, he's one of my favourite Aussie players for a long time....keep watching Grant, so will I....cheers mate!!

The USA was a huge dud against the Czechs...i thought the Americans looked totally uninspired and played much below-par than i expected...Bruce Arena looked strangely bored and unaffected by how poorly his team was performing and the team itself played in a sadly lackluster lame fashion..I've always liked the Czechs' style and of course last night, they played the most fluent and convincing football so far in the WC...feel sad for Jan Koller...hope he recovers soon cos his absence as striker would be a big blow to the team's prospects ahead....3-0 was a great start for the Czechs and i hope they go all the way..Music is like girlfriends to me; I'm constantly amazed at the choices other dudes make----DLRComment

Very dissapointed how the US played.Comment

France 0:0 Switzerland after 36 minutes... The blue frogs could well be eating some Swiss cheese in the end.
The city is exceptionally calm this evening.
It's strange, I feel even less like a chauvinist than usual.

match is ok...I don't see one of the teams dominating the other...good chances on both sides, referee was right with the hand, I'd say...Originally posted by Jérôme Frenchise

Football players will often forget they have hands!
