I Hope Brazil get beat by Belgium, unlikly but you never know, that would make our next game slightly easier.

I hope Brazil wins.

WHAT!!! Hope Brazil win! Then England get them. That would be too hard! We want easy Belgium!

 

[Neil Pickup]

I don't think they'll be "Easy Belgium" if they knockout Brazil. Which they could.

GO SENEGAL!
Poor Ireland

 

[Rich2001]

GO SENEGAL!

:O Watch out for them they are going all the way!!!

Iam happy England did avoid them now

 

[Kimbo]

I'm sorry Paul, you seem to have misunderstood... I hope Brazil wins the world cup... or Senegal.

Belgium Beat Brazil ?? haha noooo more like lose 2-0

Go brazil all the way , been my supporting team for ages . Although the defence and mid was so not the greatest. I hope we win against England that way i win the bet against my mate :P

Senegal are on a roll they should easily be able to beat either Turkey or Japan seeing they beat France and Sweden 2 really good teams !

We have a very good chance, because Brazil have gone downhill in the last few years.

 

[Neil Pickup]

What's Brazil's defence

GK - Marcos - dodgy
DMR - Cafu
DML - Roberto Carlos - neither are too good defensively
DC - Edmilson, Lucio, Polga - need I say more.

If Belgium had had strikers they would have won. Same for Turkey. If Owen and Heskey run at Brazil we'll win. 2-1. Heskey to be the hero... (can't believe I'm saying this...)

 

[lord_of_darkness]

But look at Brazils mid and forwards , thats there we make up for mistakes

I agree We really needed Taffarel!! and better Defence ( looks a bit crusty at the moment )

Not happy.

We were, to be fair, poor after we scored. That was the only chance we created and that was due to Lucio's screw up. And no, we shouldn't have had any penalties.

Maybe Ronaldinho's goal was a bit jammy (shades of Nayim..), but Brazil were (hurts) the better side over the 90 and deserved to win.

But the whole strikeforce and midfield was awful in the second half. Scholes in particular, he gave away the rreekick too.

Never mind, build for 2004 and 2006. Senegal and Korea to support now 8D.

I'd be interested in your opinion on both the Red Card and the tackle on Beckham just before the equalizer Neil.

In my mind that should've been a free kick to England, instead they race upfield and turn the game on its head.

Are you talking about where the two players came in on beck's and he was forced to jumped them both and ended about 5 meters out of play?

 

[lord_of_darkness]

i was pretty dissapointed when Ronaldinho was handed a red card, that was just sad !

i dont think he deserved it , anway im a hard brazil fan GO BRAZIL , and to all the english supporters out there, hard luck mate next time

Anyway today i had soccer we played in the morning and we won 9-7 I Scored a hatrick

the goalkeepeers didnt do that well because it has been raining in Auckland for the past 2-3 days continous and they penalty area patch is always shaved more than the rest of the field, hence no grass water soaked up and goalkeepers found it hard to do well

 

[marc71178]

That's what I meant Rich!

And which was Ronaldinho sent off for, the stamp or the elbow? From the referee's view (there was a camera which provided it) I think it was the elbow.

No more Senegal anymore Neil. They did superbly just to get this far.

Yes Senegal did fantastic and Korea are still in there, if they could just beat Germany, and Turkey provide a small upset by beating Brazil then a final between Turkey & Korea would be good.

 

[Neil Pickup]

IMO it was a foul on Beckham by the Touchline. I said that as soon as it occurred.

And the Red Card.. well I haven't actually noticed the Elbow yet but for the lunge on the ankle with studs up... it was as bad as Henry's v Uruguay. Red anyway.

Still Korea left. Come on boys.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

noo Turkey isint gonna beat Brazil ! really hope not

and yea i felt really sorry for Senegal they deserved to go much further !

Germany v Brazil final predicted
