not sure why I thought it was 6am, thanks for correcting me....

Nice game by Germany (just watched it on Tivo).

Great to see what they're capable of without that lead-footed ballhog Ballack in there.

OK. That team does not need Ballack or Messi...they are a freaking a machine. Obviously the it takes more than one game to be great, but they showed some football man.

 

[Casawi]

aussi player (Cahill) fouled a german player, didn't look that intentional to me but the ref pulled out the red card.

I think the red card was because he was leading the tackle with both lefs and from behind or side ... I can see why the ref gave a red, but in replay it should have only been a yellow.

 

[Casawi]

It was too soft, it threw him off :awe:

I have always argued scoring is far more important than how spectacular it is

Zidane might go down to the dressing room and headbutt that idiot striker that got sent off

:awe:

It was a very very poor performance by Algeria. Ghezzal should not step on the pitch again because he is a idiot...complete classless dumb ass.

 

[ElFenix]

nice save there

 

[KeithTalent]

Damn, Germany sure looked impressive yesterday. We watched in a bar that had about 70% Aussies, 20% Germans, and 10% neutrals. I swear a fight almost broke out when Cahill got that red. Good times though! :awe:

Go Paraguay!

yeah I thought he pulled himself back enough that a yellow would suffice.



however, I am still pissed that brit douche didnt get ATLEAST a yellow for going into howard toes up.

toes up is often a red card because it shows intention to hurt.

and he clealy missed the ball by a good 18+ inches

Japan beats Cameroon 1-0.
Japan hadn't won their last 5 friendlies and their star player is sidelined with an injury.

There will be some happy teachers at school tomorrow.

Eh, just watching it full speed didn't make me suddenly sit up and start yelling for a card. I do think a yellow was needed, but a red was way overboard.

My opinion on the Cahill red card is that it was excessive.

But I have to think the ref didn't do it on his own. Fifa probably told him during half time to red card an Australian player if they didn't stop punking out. The way things were going someone was going to get injured for sure.

They did seem to be acting like goons and it was inevitable somone was going to be sent off. Still was bit crazy for it to be a straight red like that.

yeah I def wondered if they realized it wasnt a rugby match at a few points.

but the hard red seems rough since now he is basically out of the cup

its really given a green light to 'not screw up' and make it to the second round with AUS missing its best goal scorer. They beat AUS and they are in like Flynn because I dont see Serbia beating Australia and Germany.

 

[Anubis]

humm no comments on the Italy game yet?
i hope they lose. hell i don't want them to make it out of the 1st round.

I am recording the game instead of watching it today.

I don't think it likely for the Azurri to not advance.

 

[KeithTalent]

Haha, the head of IT sent out a firm-wide e-mail asking people not to stream the games online because it kills bandwidth, instead they setup streaming from our intranet! Woohoo! Watching the game right now. :awe:

I changed my pick to a draw for this game, but Paraguay is looking pretty good so far. Maybe I should have stayed with my original pick. :hmm:

Holy crap! Perfect header!

[FallenHero]

Beautiful! I love it! Down with Italy!

 

[bigrash]

Nice goal by Paraguay.

 

[sdifox]

Lol the faces of the Italian players while walking to the dressing room was precious.
