the Ivory Coast needs to score at a rate of a goal every 10 minutes. Weirdly, I think this isn't impossible

I have no idea how anybody can like Ronaldo, he's such a fuck head

I mean, tolerating him because he's on your favorite team and acknowledging he's good is one thing, but to actually like him... I just don't see how that's possible

I've yet to meet someone who likes him. I acknowledge his talent, but I still deride him for not doing well for his national side, which I think will continue this year. i also think he tries too hard to take over games and be the hero instead of get his teammates involved (manchester vs barca final)

Excellent yellow card on Tiago. I was about to comment on how this ref was handing out cards like candy but they've all be deserved. These prisses need to just play some soccer.

The Portugal-Netherlands game from 06 has to be the record or close to it.

I'm sort of pulling for Portugal here... If Dunga did indeed call Portugal the Brazilian "B" team that is pretty shitty and cocky.

espn3 was a piece of shit during the USA/Algeria game, the audio was continuous, but the video froze up every 5 seconds for about 10 seconds.

Yeah, I wasn't watching that game from work. Wasn't going to take the chance that it locks up right when a cross goes into the box.

missing some great opportunities. can't afford to keep that low conversion rate that seems to be plaguing some teams this tourny.

I was hoping Brazil could help CIV out and win by a few goals.. that would have been pretty sweet for Ivory Coast to overturn that GD

^agreed. i think brazil is only concerned about brazil, unfortunately. CIV is gonna have to do all the heavy lifting. and it ain't happening.

Romarik might have the most bad-ass hair-do of the tournament, though. he has the thing mustache wrapping around his entire head.

what's the goal difference at now? -7? Doesn't look like they're going to get much help from Brazil so if they score 7 goals in half an hour, they're soccer gods

I guess if Portugal can score 7 goals in 35 minutes, CIV could get 6 in 20?

sucks for the ivory coast. 4 points, with a positive goal differential, and your only loss is by a goal to brazil, and it's not enough to advance. that really blows.

It Brazil beats Portugal I agree with you here. Should have run up 9 points on NK I guess.

another example of how stupid world rankings are

Quote :
"In fact, the U.S. (No. 14 in the latest FIFA rankings) is the highest-ranked team in its quadrant of the bracket, ahead of Ghana (No. 32) and potential quarterfinal foes Uruguay (No. 16) and South Korea (No. 47)."

^^yea. As I've said before, while they still aren't perfect, I prefer the World ELO rankings for soccer over the terrible FIFA ones.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Football_Elo_Ratings

Uruguay at 11
US at 21
South Korea at 23
Ghana at 28

That is honestly a pretty good ranking of each team imo, at least in terms of rankings within our quadrant.

man, i'm even more upset with portugal. they played two scoreless draws, and advanced because north korea decided to lay an egg. we really have no clue as to what they are made of. portugal went through because of the order of their games, matching up against brazil in a game that had little implications for each team. aghhhh. i'm sorry drogba, you deserved better.
