Ferdan said on May 27, 2002 13:59:

I only say...... poor Sweden!!, they’re between 2 big powers..., with really little chance :(

Vamos Argentina carajo! :)

According to you, who´s going to win the championship?
For me...well...with my nickname... what do you suppose?...eh?
Come on Bati gol!!!
Cheers and good luck!
Hey do you think Mr PG is going to Korea-Japan to see the championship. I don´t think so. He´s better things to do!!

Vixzter said on May 28, 2002 05:49:

Ferdan - I say poor England.....if we qualify for the next round it will be a bloody miracle......still if we don’t....Sweden will and then I can still watch the world cup ;) I always did like the colour yellow ;)

-Edu- said on May 28, 2002 12:06:

I preffer Cameroun to win.

Vixzter said on May 28, 2002 16:20:

Shearer and Ince?? ;) they haven’t played for years!!!

Anyway....it will be worth watching England just to see David Beckhams new haircut ;)....gotta love that guy....even if he does play for Manchester Utd.

tiny - can’t say I like Diego Simmeone either....but then I guesse thats another David Beckham thing ;)

felicity-brown said on May 28, 2002 20:29:

Yeah, well, I still have my dreams for England. I think Sweden and England are kinda in the same league - it’ll be close *fingers crossed*. A real shame though that our little Gunner, Ljungberg, is gonna be playin against us! :(

Vixzter said on May 29, 2002 16:39:

Brazil will win.....coz I have them in the sweepstake at work.

felicity - Oh yea....Freddie is bloody marvelous >:) pitty he plays in yellow....England could use a midfield player or 5 ;)

felicity-brown said on May 29, 2002 21:55:

LOL Vix. Ye of little faith :) ... although I too have my doubts that any good will come out of this for us ;(

“Kaka” sounds like “poo” (caca) in spanish..

well.... Palermo is not in the world cup..... and Crespo? well... i don’t like him at all, I preffer Batistuta.

fear us :))))

Vixzter said on May 30, 2002 18:52:

Ferdan said on May 31, 2002 13:01:

nah dan.... nuestros partidos son a las 2 A.M. :)

TinyTim.... if you watch football just to see some male butts that doesn’t mean everyone else does it for the same reason :)

PerFanatic said on May 31, 2002 17:28:

Well of course they do... I thought everyone in Europe & South America lived and breathed soccer:) As a proud American, I hope the US team gets their butts kicked right out of the first round. That shouldn’t be too much to ask for considering their pathetic history. After so many horrible years of no success, you’d think they’d quit shoving it down our throats. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this in the last decade... “Well, it looks like the Americans certainly have a great shot to make an impact in this World Cup.” Well, as we all know, that’s pure crap! Americans should stick to what we’re good at. Baseball, basketball & football... quit trying to pretend you’re a world power in soccer because it will never be true!!! Of course, I’m supporting Sweden too...

Haha...sometimes you get luck...sometimes not...

Sayonara, Arigato or whatever mr. korean referee...

You’re only helped if you create something...that’s my excuse for friendly whistles...anyway, 3 points granted...

Ferdan, it’s really Kaká (or Cacah)...he’s a very skilled player...well, not a master, but he looks better than that brush-hair Aimar...haha...And...I don’t watch football to see their butts...I’m satisfied with mine. I watch it to see the female fans, specially the spanish and swedish ones...if Norway were in this cup, oh well...well, I watch to Argetina’s matches, also to see how Verón is looking more and more with BSB’s A.J.!! Hahaha!!

I will ask for sorry even before what I’ll say: But...Raúl..well he has a doubtful skill and he’s the nastiest player I ever saw in my life...he thinks he’s a white Pele

it was an excellent match for us.

in 1994 Bulgarian team starts with 0:3 against Nigeria but after that we become 4th in the world,
sending at home such r great teams as Argentina and Germany...so don’t fight–lets see at least 2 matches..

Michael Owen, please let me have your babies! Failing that Freddie Lungberg...let me have yours instead!

Vindaloo la la!

PerFanatic said on June 7, 2002 19:24:

So, if Sweden either ties or beats Argentina, they’re in for sure, right? But, if they lose to ARG, ARG will have 6 pts meaning Sweden must hope for Nigeria to beat England (unlikely).

Let’s just hope the Swedes can at least pull off a tie against Argentina. It would be nice to see England and Sweden advance out of this group!

Brazil is already a Legend!
Could you imagine a World Cup without Brazil!
Even if Brazil is not going to win the WC, for sure, in the next WC, will be one of the favs to win...
I´m very happy about England...after Brazil, England made me happy last Friday!!

Everybody had a bad day sometimes or not???

Yashar said on June 10, 2002 09:12:

@onlywhenidream : He was Rivaldo not ronaldo.

@Ferdan:Fifa didn’t put them in an easy group.It was only lot and chance.
I agree: That penalty was not true,but that movement had equal chance of goal in compare with a penalty.There was only goal keeper in front of him.

Above all these, Alothough I like Brazil,but they are not as powerful as they were in 1994.

Yashar said on June 10, 2002 10:06:

@dan rox: Yes! It was more successful than the other teams.

tinytim said on June 10, 2002 16:04:

Argentinians complain about Maradona’s block when he was entering Japan, Argentinians complain coz we are in an easier group, Argentinians complain when Ronaldo kicks their asses...Argentinians complain, complain, complain...

First of all, Rox Argentina, that penalty kick wasn’t paid...I agree with Yashar’s comment. I know Luizao, he played for Corinthians, my fave team, and he’s a killer..he wouldn’t lose that shot.

BTW, that was a very fair reward against that anti-fair atittude from the defender...as the chinese ones did with Ronaldo. And, just for finish...never, never in history, Brazil needed a ’mano de dios’ (hand of god) like your cocaine addicted main idol did. It’s strange how much you able this ’example’ to talk for your country...even considering that he was almost a bandit.

In 1990, Brazil’s left-defender Branco, said that he experienced bad physical sensations during the match of Brazil X Argentina, when Argentina put Brazil out. He said that Diego offered him a bottle with water. And since that, he felt like if he had drank a Valium or something.

Argentinians players are dirt, and excellent actors - they have technique and skill, but are FAKE!

The only decent argentinian player is out of this Cup, coz Bielsa is a perfect dumb - his name is Riquelme, a ballet dancer, a Gardel with kick shoes.

That’s all.

Ferdan said on June 10, 2002 20:19:

Well... it’s natural to have that kinda “relationship” if the 2 best teams in the world are so close geographically :)

“”In 1990, Brazil’s left-defender Branco, said that he experienced bad physical sensations during the match of Brazil X Argentina”“

just words..... it was really easy to prove, just a blood test.... but... why he didn’t do it?..
anyway, it’s the first time i heard about that.... and, sounds really stupid.

and about Riquelme, that is very true :( he should be in the team... he and Aimar can take a really good midfield and foward control of the ball.

Vixzter said on June 10, 2002 20:56:

@StillFar - LOL! ;) 2 biggest heads maybe ;) oh now theres a controversial comment if ever I did see one. :P

Gessle said on June 11, 2002 01:04:

Dear Friends, Let’s face the facts :

1 - BRAZIL - 4 times World Champion
2 - Italy / Germany - 3 times
3 - Uruguay / Argentina - 2 times
4 - England / France - 1 time

So... we’re number one !!! :) Only Italy and Germany can draw these numbers with us, and nothing but draw !!!

Brazil is the BEST team ever... We breath football ! :)

Vizxter, about the relationship beetwen Brazilians and Argentinians... well, it’s not that bad, we love Argentinians... they were always a great NUMBER TWO here in South America !!!! :)

Go Brazil - with our team, we will go... go home :(
Gessle

PS: Rivaldo will move to Hollywood, after his amazing performance in the incident with the ball in the game against Turkey !! :) What an actor !! :)

Vixzter said on June 11, 2002 05:43:

Maybe my biggest head theory was right ;P

@tiny - would have to agrree with you about Maradonna.

Although he scored one of the greatest goals ever agaisnt England.....that goes no where near to making up what he did for the first goal.
He saw, we saw it.....the stadium saw it...the whole world saw it.....but the referee didn’t, that referee was struck off after that match.......I wonder why!

But anyway....thats the past....this is the present....lets just see what happens in the future...its the most open world cup in ages...which is great......just remember Brazil.......you haven’t played a real team, so don’t start celebrating just yet!! ;P

PS. Poor Poland....totaly destroyed by Portugal....and Portugal didn’t even play that well for the first 45mins. (weather conditions permitting...but they were still poor) wake up Figo! :P

Next match with Senegal
GO Sweden, Go!

Ferdan said on June 12, 2002 13:37:

Go Sweden Go :))

we f*ucking deserver to be out of the cup..... our team forgot they were argentinians..... why i am saying this?... it was only centres and long balls in the moment of definition.... argentina has to “penetrate” a defense like that diving the players..... it happened in the past.... it happens everyday in our leagues... they didn’t look that way..... but it was obvious they had the directive to play with centres and long balls close to the goal....
The best moments Argentina created were when someone tried to dive in the swedish defense....
one of those was the one that gave us a penalty kick...

but anyway...... we deserve to be out......

tinytim said on June 12, 2002 15:53:

Hah...now, according to a web site, Brazil is the #1 in London’s bets...

Some weeks ago, Vieira from France said that Brazil was living a decaying stage...

Yeah, Vieira, yeah...

Of course we are not playing that well...but there’s an old saying here in my country...translating it, must be something like “A fish dies through its mouth”.

There’s another “footballistic” saying here...”Football is played inside the four lines”, what excludes nasty quotes before the matches. That’s why I’ll never say that Brazil is good coz won 4 cups. It WON 4 cups - and every cup is a different history.

I’m sad for the argentinian people. They are living very hard times and we all know what’s the effect of a south american team playing in a world tourney like this. It raises people’s happiness. I guess they deserved 90 minutes of happiness every week for a month (but not in June 30, hehehe). The argentinian are nice people. I had a friend from there, called Musri Leandro. Well, they have strange habits for us brazilians, like kissing goodbye everyone, including men, in the cheek. He did that and I turned red. They also flirt on our girls, but we are 170 millions, so we have a lot. They just make me angry coz they do that in the south region, where the babes are, grrrr....But in football matter, we’ll never agree.

I also don’t agree with people saying that Brazil is going fine...it’s not. It’s playing in a very slacky way, and well...I dunno...let’s wait to see...

RoxArgentina, you didn’t offend me, even a bit (???) Where did you take that?

I hope that you, your family and your friends’ families can get through these hard times.

I wasn’t against France, but remembering some phrases from France players as Lizarazu, I’m really happy with their exclusion...au revoir!!

That just proves that they defeated Brazil, only coz it was crashed for the almost death of Ronaldo in the hotel before the match.

Haha...time to show it...

Vixzter said on June 12, 2002 18:55:

..... yeh plays like a girl.... *sigh*

Rox-Argentina said on June 13, 2002 03:46:

Well...Bye, bye WC...but well we deserved to be out of the tournament. This should be a great education for all argentinians... for all of us...” we don´t have to be so arrogant!!”
My sincere congratulations for Sweden!!! and as I posted on the first time and as my country is out of the competition...I want sweden to do a great tournament!!

@ Tinytin, thanks for your support. Here we are passing through very difficult moments and I don´t know where and when this is going to finish. We´re a sad country and nowadays for us to lose the opportunity of the WC is just a little part of our sadness.

Good luck for all the teams that are still playing, specially for Sweden.

tinytim said on June 14, 2002 15:52:

He kicked really well, Ferdan...he kicked strong, close to the ground and with effect. Maybe that’s why Caballero couldn’t even move...

There’s a player from Brazil, called Marcelinho Carioca who does the same. He kicks to the middle of the goal, with a very soft touch. He pretends that is going to kick strong, but jus taps it, and the keeper jumps to one of sides...hahaha...it’s funny...also Djalminha from La Coruña does it. Coincidently, both Marcelinho and Djalminha started their careers in the same team, Flamengo.

So, Vix...you wanna to doubt about Brazil’s merit in its victories so far, huh...OK, Brazil was placed in a “easy” group. But, I believe that it accomplish with its role, then. We played against “weak” teams, so, our duty should be win them with a high score...well, we did it! Maybe in the first match that would’t happen, coz naturally, every team feels the pressure of being in a World Cup. Specially this Brazil’s team, that suffered lots of pressure during the qualifying. I said that when Brazil was raffled to this group, it was raffled to a group according to the football that it was playing (we lost to Hondurasm remember?). But, since then, Brazil grew up...Ronaldo returned, slowly, but he did...other players turned themselves capable of dressing that yellow shirt, like Ronaldinho, Kaka, Júnior...a feeling and atittude of union, like it didn’t happen for a long time took over all the people envolved with the World Cup; players, coach team, etc...so, we passed “easily” through this stage.

Now Brazil, will fight against Belgium. Then, maybe England and Brazil will meet...we can talk later..I mean...if Brazil defeat Belgium, and if England defeat the excellent and organized Denmark team.

By the way, I wanted that Denmark and Sweden played...the cuttest female crowd we could ever see together per m²...oh well, some day I’ll go to Scandinavia...some day...

Vixzter said on June 16, 2002 14:27:

Unlucky Ireland.....you should’ve won that one. Good move by Spain to take off both centre forwards thinking they’d won the game with 30 mins to go.......if only Ian Harte had scored that penalty.

dan-rox said on June 17, 2002 08:28:

hey Spian played much better than the irish, of course thsi don’t means that the irish didn’t play vey well, it was a very good match, but we have 12 offsides ( sorry my english is not as goodas i would like ), and one for sure of Morientes wasn’t and this was a goal, two goals that Frisk did’t accept, a penalty in minute 89, Casillas great, we aarived lot of time, and as all teams will do, with 10 players or better say 9 because Luis Enrique was injured try not to lose, and we played better, at the end i can admit this is just by luck and because Casillas is thousand of times better than Given we won by luck, but during the match we played better, so don’t say stupid things, you have be ashamed for have scored juts with the help of Frisk and at minute 89, you haven’t hit any times and do you think you played better ? scored at teh end is very sad, this means you haven’t done anything the rest of the match.
We are better than the irish and you don’t want to accept it, open your eyes and see the truth we played better and we are better than you.
You played very well, especially Harte, but you have nothing to do with us, be careful now all people think seriosly i us, before the championship nobody trust in us.
GO ON CAMACHO’S BOYS !!!

Look at the Mexicans who couldn’t win against USA.
This cup is so strange.No one can guess the results.

StillFar said on June 17, 2002 15:06:

poor Mexico..they played so good against Italy!

And Ferdan, talking about panalties...the goal against Sweden, shouldn’t have counted! Crespo was moving before the ball has been touched....oh well, didn’t really matter at the end!

PerFanatic said on June 17, 2002 16:32:

Oh great... thanks to a crappy pool and a lackluster Mexican team, the USA gets to the round of 8. Thank God they won’t go any further. Germany, please put us back in our rightful place... at home watching the final matches on TV!

nedved said on June 17, 2002 18:11:

hey dan-rox, I´m still laughing with your comments. What match did you watch on tv? Are you sure it was Spain - Ireland? because I think you need to watch it again. And don’t blame the refree, the penalty was clear. By the way, no more arrogant comments, be a little humble, I think you need it. Oh, and I forget it, I´m Spanish but I can’t be proud of my national team yesterday, it was really patetic.
GO IRELAND!!!

Oh, please...until when will you complain about referee? Brazil played lot lot better than Belgium in the first half...it deserved to score. And, Vilmots really supported him on Roque Junior’s shoulder...it’s clear...these argentinians don’t have any worth interest in this Cup, so they support against Brazil...you stupid, idiots...don’t you know that if a South American team wins, that’s good to the whole South America football?

And n_e_1 (????) yeah, Maradona “es mas grande” e es mas adiccionado que Pele”...but not in Football...Pele’s last hospital report (last week)...coma? no...overdose? no...allergy? Yes. To cocaine? To marijuana? To ecstasy? No...to iodine, used in a check-up exam...ha.

Stand by me...nobody else knows the way it’s gonna be...

freshold said on June 20, 2002 17:02:

..well....as I said earlier Korea will win because referees will help them...this time referees are against everyone, including Brasil, what was proved once again in the match with Italy...and once I liked soccer - now, this world cup is a parody with all the goals claimed not to be the goals .... I think I’ll switch to the American football and I wish the usa all the best in the upcoming match :) .... if only Holland was there ahhhhhhhhh.....

you are crazy and blind nedved for not accept the truth, i know very weel which match i saw, i can’t say the same as you, when Spain plays bad i accept it, but when they play very well and better than the other team also, and Spain played against Ireland better.

Bye! Bye! England!!!
I´m so sorry, but it was expected!

freshold said on June 21, 2002 09:48:

I would be more careful with making such statements vix

“Eu” queria que gane brasil.
Nice :)

StillFar said on June 21, 2002 13:24:

I’m sorry Vix..well next time...
USA is going home :))))

tinytim said on June 21, 2002 15:45:

What now, Vix? What now Ferdan and all the argentinians here? Did the referee help us?? Did he NEED to help us? What now, Vix...didn’t Brazil deserve the victory??

I said some days before this match, that Brazil X England would be easier to Brazil than Brazil X Belgium. Owen scored for luck...England didn’t exist in this match. So, there’s a certain girl in this forum, called Vicki Benckert who said that Brazil didn’t play against a real team in this Cup yet...yeah, and that still didn’t happen...

Beckham..well, he’s a good boy (at least now) but I should advice him: go wearing Victoria’s underpants and walk on a catwalk...it will be more worth...he won’t feel that depressed...he brought Victoria to celebrate their victory...but if he fails...you know what a lose like that makes with a man’s motivation...well if he fails...he still got his whole collection of gels, glasses, perfumes, and his hairmaker...to make him some company...GO BACK TO MAN U, blondie!!! He said that would make a new haircut to this match...ooohh...in the old civilizations, the people used to shave their heads as a sign of sorrow...nice suggestion, I think...oh no, he did it already...

Owen...well, he strives and has skill...but when the ball came to him, he started to breathe desperately, like if he was going to give a children to birth...he couldn’t believe, he seemed afraid...like the whole team of England...maybe at the end of his career, Owen can get a job as a...a...Super Mario double!!! Today, he seemed smaller than Juninho...a tiny spirit, maybe reflects in your physical posture...

The so famous English air-strike...???...does it really exist? Marcos seems to have the easiest job of the world...at least for today. And Lucio...well, he repaired every mistake by having an almost perfect acting until the match’s end. Yeah... “Brazil attacks better than it defends”...OK, then...

The others, well...I’m sorry but are just others...

I’m being this way exaggerated ‘coz I hate when there are stupid people in the right places. Like all the journals from Argentina and England’s tabloids...hah! They should behave as professionals, but they’re just fanatic supporters with a PC available...and Bielsa... “England will win, DUH”...why didn’t he say that was supporting them at all? Hope that now, Olé newspaper will shut up and finish those stupid reports...we eliminated Argentina’s eliminators...now that their team is out, they have to talk about others and watch it all by the television...hahahaha!

Brazil played today like a real team...showed all the necessary attributes: talent, determination, skill, speed, calm spirit...not the best of the best it could give, but it was better from the start to final whistle...that’s why we won...so, Vix, Ferdan, n_e_1 (?????) please...STOP CRYING YOUR HEART OUT!!! (BTW, n_e_1...yeah, Diego won for 7,000 votes more...but who cares? Pelé scored more than 1,000 goals and probably dribbled more than 10,000 times everyone on his way...these numbers really matter for me...besides, Maradona is a more recent football idol than Pelé and Pelé didn’t play in Europe – that wasn’t necessary to keep him in people’s mind in an “undeleteable” way...)

Ronaldinho was the carachter of some sort of greek tragedy...the hero that kills it all. His goal is fantastic, historic, and intentional, of course...his foul was childish and anti-professional...but, thanks to Cafu, Rivaldo, Kleberson, Roberto Carlos and Edilson, experienced players, Brazil started to tell the rythm...not exactly a samba, but enough to keep the result.

Rivaldo scored a wonderful goal, a killer one...it’s hard for every player kick a ball like that with such precision...

People here are celebrating, with a wide smile in their faces...and we had fireworks from 3:30 AM - 5:30 AM...like if we had a second Happy New Year party, considering the number of spots in the night sky...believe me, the party in Brazil for a World Title is something nice and nothing nasty...let’s see if it’s gonna really come...

BTW, this topic is distorting TDR’s main objective: talk about Roxette and related...so I wrote the following lyrics specially to Vixzie...hehehe...

Vixzter...‘situations change, I know it, it’s the most natural thing / And if you wanna show it, you don’t Owen me anything’.

Get your upset feeling and ‘t-t-take it away, won’t you please go Beckhome? HEY!’

DANGEROUS
(Lyrics: tinytim Music: Per Gessle)

You pack your bags, we take control / You’re moving up from Japan straight to London / Get out of our way! Get out of our sight! / We won’t be stepped by tough guys, no more nights / Hey what’s your work? What’s your game? / You do play something, but it still got no name // Hold on tight, you know Brazil’s a little bit dangerous / They got what they want when play for real / Those gold kicker shooters that dash and thrill / You know they’re a little bit dangerous // You look around, your mind is dry / You’re hiding behind your head coach, but the ball is alive / Get out of our way! Get out of our sight! / We’ll be tumbling some tough guys by other nights // Hey what’s your word? What’s your game? I know you tried, but man, you’re a shame // Hold on tight, you know Brazil’s a little bit dangerous / They got what they want when play for real / Those gold kicker shooters that dash and thrill / You know they’re a little bit dangerous, ooh, a little bit dangerous // Hey, what’s your work, hmmm play any games? / Still got no name // Heeey you, hmm, just a little bit dangerous // Still got no naaame!! Oh-Oh... // Due to exceptional weakness of this team, play them HARD!

Did I forget something? Oh yeah...Vixzter...GO PLAYING HOCKEY!!

No offense...**SMARMY SMILE**
Brazil it isn’t invulnerable to critics, but I had to say it, I was just keeping it to the proper moment...hehehe...

Vizxter:..**CONSTRAINING SILENCE**

Gessle said on June 21, 2002 16:15:

I”LL POST IT AGAIN, CAUSE I’M SOOO HAPPY :

Yuhoooooo... I was going to be quiet, but Vix, you deserve that...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Go Home Beckham !!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... you Loosers !!! :) AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... BRAZIL !!! :)

Hey Vix, you asked us before to tell you when Brazil beat a team with a real defense in this World Cup... oh well, let’s see if it happens in the game against Turkey or Senegal, because this England team is a joke !!!! Go cry at the Big Ben !!!

The throne belongs to the queen, but the World Cup belongs to Brazil !!!!

Ferdan, n e 1, RoxArgentina, dear “hermanos”... learn with us.. that’s the way to beat the English team (And we had only 10 players in the field)

God Save Brazil and God Help The Queen !!!! :) What a glorious day !!! :) Our team is already one of the four best teams in this World Cup... that’s more than WONDERFUL !!

That’s it... Vix, see ya in 2006 (And go learn about soccer, Brazil is the BEST, respect us :)
Bye

Gessle.

hej people, i was in an exam and couldn’t see the matchs, so Brazil won against England and Germany to USA, isn’t it ?

steven said on June 21, 2002 16:58:

Hmmm.... >looks up at Brasil fans boosts<

No doubt... you have a great team, but I wonder if you will be equally vocal and gracious if your team crash outta the competition...?

Maybe to a developing football nation...? :)

RoxiRoxt said on June 21, 2002 17:11:

GERMANYYYYYY!!!!! :o)

nedved said on June 21, 2002 19:49:

England deserves to be out of the cup. I expected more from the English players but I´m very disappointed with them. They did nothing during all the match. Brazil took the control of the game and had no problems; the Brazilian victory is totally fair. I didn’t know Ronaldinho very well, but I´ve seen the match and I have to say that he is a really great player. I´m wondering where David Beckham was; maybe he was with his hair stylist, trying a new hair cut. :o

Yashar said on June 22, 2002 09:48:

It wasn’t right of Korea to win.
The referee cancled 3 goals of Spain.Although it was not his fault.it was his helps’ fault.
Two wrong offsides and one wrong Out.

I can’t believe Korea be in 1/2 of final.

StillFar said on June 22, 2002 20:52:

Everybody is bitching about the referees...referees have to take decisions within a few secs and don’t have TV replays from every possible ankle...

before I forget....bye bye Spain!

Yashar said on June 22, 2002 21:52:

@ Steven & Stillfar :
Yes! Mistakes are natural for referees,but not 3 big and terrible mistakes in one game.
Don’t forget that all of these mistakes were against Spain.

Vixzter said on June 23, 2002 16:55:

Been away for the weekend....won’t read all your comments coz I don’t have time and I can’t be arsed....still won’t be supporting Brazil so live with it.....England are out coz they should have changed they’re goalie at half time :P

Come on Turkey.....Come on South Korea....if it gets really bad I might even go as far as saying come on Germany :P (you lucky sods)

I remember back on 28th september 2000 England lost to Germany 1-0 and they weren’t even supposed to qualify for the WC, so I think quater finals isn’t all that bad :P it would have been bloody embarassing for Brazil to loose to a team that shouldn’t even be there!! ;)

Lets hope the ref gives Turkey a penalty that never was ;)

freshold said on June 25, 2002 00:25:

today - we’ll see how referees will act again.....

dan-rox said on June 25, 2002 08:47:

Spain was stolen and it was clear, Hiddink has to be ashamed why corea is in semifinal with the help of the egypcian and the two other men, but the problem is Blatter, he wanted the votes of as much countries as can be posible, and that’s why we had people from trinidad and tobao, benin, vanuatu ... which leagues are there ? do they really know what’s a ball ? we need profesional not amateurs.
Someone don’t lieks Spain, but it’s very clear we weren’t at the semifinal because of the egypcian.
It’s a coincidence that against Corea happened the same as to Portugal and Italy ?
Not, FIFA and Blatter prefers corean money and the population from the country than the honesty of the players and the people.
FIFA has to change and Blatter out of the presidence it’s indignant what he had done, and Villar president of spanish federation has to be out of teh FIFA vice-presidence, we can’t be in a place were the only that matters is to continue being president and the money.
Now i understand how the italians feels.

nedved said on June 25, 2002 22:17:

Congratulations to Germany (I love that guy called Ballack ;)
@dan-rox, go and cry to daddy, honey.

freshold said on June 26, 2002 16:26:

that’s a pity that Korea eliminated such great teams as Portugal, Italy or Spain and lost to Germany. I was hoping that the hosts would go through. Anyway, the match Brasil - Turkey was a blast. It was just damn great. Brasil plays beautiful soccer. :) Congrats Canarinhos :))

dan-rox said on June 27, 2002 08:22:

poor nedved, you passed because Spain wasn’t at the match because the egypcian and FIFA didn’t wanted it, i can go and cry to my dad, you can go down from a hill thinking you passed because FIFA didn’t wanted Spain.
And don’t say stupid things more.

dan-rox said on June 28, 2002 07:32:

hope to see a good matchat the final !!!

Vixzter said on June 28, 2002 17:53:

Come on Germany ;)

Vixzter said on June 28, 2002 21:38:

You wouldn’t belive how much it pains me to say “Come on Germany” but I am ;)

Vixzter said on June 29, 2002 13:26:

So what, couldn’t really care who won it, won’t be watching it.

Vixzter said on June 30, 2002 10:41:

All the big players went out early on coz they were pants ;)

suburber said on June 30, 2002 17:23:

Congrats Brazil!

Nevertheless it would have been great to win... Watched the game in front of a 10000 people audience in Bonn/Germany. It was great fun!

See you next time! Welcome to Germany 2006!

Vixzter said on June 30, 2002 19:21:

Oh wow Brazil won the world cup....well I must support them then....... NOT ;)
I’d just like to say its easy to support winners, what would have happend to the Brazil team had they of lost....you would have thought they were worthless. :P
I’m so naughty that I don’t support Brazil like everyone else ;) I like to be unique!! :P

Still Ronaldo scored some points for my fantasy league team, that was good.

Ferdan said on July 1, 2002 01:50:

oh. so you had ronaldo in your fantasy team...

dan-rox said on July 1, 2002 08:13:

congratulations from Spain Brazil.

Ferdan said on July 3, 2002 16:24:

maybe his shaver ran out of batteries...

Vixzter said on July 4, 2002 16:44:

I saw some bloke with a Ronaldo haircut yesterday!! I thought all the ppls that went out and did that sort of thing were made up......but no there he was walking past me in the street. I’d just like to ask him why he felt the need to look a total prat! :P

@tiny - Fantasy league is where you as a manager pick players (for example : you could choose any player in the world cup)....usualy ....a goalie....4 defenders....3 midfielders....and 3 attackers.....the company running it puts a value on each player ie: Ronaldo was £5 million or something like that....basicaly you have about £50million to spend and you have to make a team out of that.
You get about 8 transfers throughout the tournament.
You score points when your goalie or defence keep a clean sheet.
Your players play a whole match.....or your attackers score and so on....it varies....you also get minus points for letting in goals (thanx alot Fabian bloody Barthez) and bookings and sending off’s

Complicated ain’t it ;) .....the price is set so that you can’t choose (for example) the whole Brazil team coz they would cost more put togethr than your spending allowence.

Its been hard this world cup coz so many teams with good players have fallen at the first stage.
Dunno where I ended up in our league.....fairly low I exepct ;)
