Well... the Second Round seems like:

Sweden v Senegal
Japan v Costa Rica/Turkey

Denmark v England
Brazil v Russia/Belgium

Spain v Ireland
Korea/Portugal v Croatia/Mexico

Germany v Paraguay
Italy v USA

Interesting... Now all the good teams aren't in our half...

I think the Korea/Portugal v Croatia/Mexico and the England v Denmark are going to be the closest games of this round I can't see either of Brazil or Italy slipping up.

you cant really say " oh they are missing some players " cause even Brazil are ( Romario )

I wouldn't have said Romario was missing as he's not been picked in years!

Found out the French excuse - Quote Desailly - "The 2nd goal was not a goal so we lost"

Right, so that would make it 1-0 then?

Also Wilfred Schafer, Cameroon coach, blamed their defeat yesterday on the German being sent off :I

[lord_of_darkness]

Although i want Senegal to win they are playing Sweden who are doing well

[Neil Pickup]

Okay, after Italy join the list of screw-ups, this is now how it looks. Damn you Ecuador!

Sweden v Senegal
Japan (unless they don't beat Tunisia) v Turkey

Denmark v England
Brazil v Russia/Belgium

Spain v Ireland
Korea/Portugal/USA (can't call Group D) v Italy

Germany v Paraguay
Mexico v USA/Portugal/Korea

Hmm.. we need Group D to even itself out.

Brazil vs Belgium, could we be in for a surprise?

 

[lord_of_darkness]

Im not too sure

Brazil is in great form and Emerson is back

but then again who knows

 

[Neil Pickup]

So.. The Quarters:

Sweden/Senegal v Japan/Turkey
Denmark/England v Brazil/Belgium

Spain/Ireland v Korea/Italy
Germany/Paraguay v Mexico/USA

OK.

My team that I am going for is South Korea . Yet, I don't think they'll go any further.

How has the TV coverage been to all you guys. Here in PERTH, AUSTRALIA the coverage has been the greatest. We have had every game live except for when there was two games on at the same time. Then it was one after the other, but the best part is the fact that they have not given the results away!

They show one game and then say what the result of the other game will affect the known result!

SBS Television has been BRILLIANT

We get good coverage in NZ on SKY but if you dont have a satellite dish its all replays.
Luckily there are a hell of a lot of people here with SKY. SKY created a channel just for world cup so its good.
It's funny, you see the crappiest houses- faing apart and all- and they have a satellite dish sticking out... its interesting where peoples priorities are...

 

[Neil Pickup]

Full coverage on Terrestrial which is good.

Matches during school time which isn't so good.

But they showed the Nigeria game in school in the morning so hopefully in their infinite wisdom they will make the same decision for the Quarter Final. Hint, Hint.

Well done Senegal for beating Sweden 2-1! Hard luck Ireland. You deserved to win, you battled hard.

(From Neil who picks up on everyone else's poor spelling / grammar) No team who can't score in 270+ minutes of football deserves to progress.

No team who can't?

Speak English boy!

Right. That's it. Any mistake from you and I'll be onto it like Ally Brown on Darren Thomas. Come August I'll be so far ahead that you won't be able to see me!

Our little 'competition' thingy... I will be a huge amount ahead. I hope.
