chaoogie Report post Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) ronaldo wasnt doing much of anything think he touched the ball 2-3 times and shot once. and croatia wouldnt of won by that much if it was a weaker goalie, as they only got about 3-5 decent shots also i get the impression that ronaldo is waiting for later on in the world cup to score/do more, just to add some suspense to him breaking pele's record...

dragburn Report post Posted June 14, 2006 Korea:2 Togo:0 it was a fun match to watch...really great goal kick in the 54th minute by korea..togo would've had more of a chance if one of their mid? def? didnt get himself a red card..wouldnt have mattered if it was yellow though it would have been his second.

Nah, he is just plain fat and its not playing good football for a long time. Brazil playes with only 10 players every match (since Ronaldo does not count), keep that in mind. Oh, and i am brazilian and we won, so yay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest stalag Report post Posted June 14, 2006 The important in this kind of cups is not play well in first place is to win like Filipão says Ronaldo is a shadow of is past now, i miss when he and figo played in barcelona together that was a wondeful thing to see.

dragburn Report post Posted June 14, 2006 magpie was the 2:1 thing in reference to the scores? or were you simple stateing that togo was outmatched bigtime? if it was scores then when did togo score because like the last ten minutes of the game korea just ran down the clock and it was still 2-0 at that piont...unless my memory is failing...

Tater Report post Posted June 15, 2006 (edited) The score was 2:1. http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/matc...th=06&year=2006 On anouther note: Brazil doesn't look strong this time. Croatia should have beaten them! On a personal note, I've been watchin brazil play for a while now, they usually start slow during the first rounds jus like Italia. And even though they are a monstruous team, the coach aint makin good decisions and the high expectations will cause em not to reach the finals. In my opinion, i think the finals are gonna be either Argentina vs. Italia or Mexico vs. Italia So yeah y'all know im rooting for Italia ADDED: I bet Italia is gonna beat US 5-0 Edited June 15, 2006 by Tater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorck Report post Posted June 15, 2006 Brazil's teams grow up against strong teams. I dunno why this happens, but the players deticate themselfs more on big matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwain Report post Posted June 15, 2006 Brazil's teams grow up against strong teams. I dunno why this happens, but the players deticate themselfs more on big matches. Croatia is a strong team imvho, I just suppose that brazil wants to save its energy till the final phase of the world cup (they assume they will get into the finals, so they want to save themselves as long as possible) Cheers. Ps: We Italians winning 5-0? i think more of a 2-0/3-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagpieLee Report post Posted June 15, 2006 I've used this excuse for England but... Its OKAY to play shit in these early rounds and still win because you don't want to outplay yourself and run out of steam in the latter parts of the competition. Germany didn't play that great against Poland but they won. The same with Brasil (imo they had an average game) and Croatia where Brasil still won. England played rubbish against Paraguay but we still won. As long as we play good by the knockout stages then its alll gravy. dragburn: Togo actually scored first. Daldora: I don't think the Germans have the depth to win. Take out Ballack, and the Germans aren't the force they can be. Tater: Italians scoring more then 1 goal? Not likely! Hardcore: Holland and Spain are renouned for international unacheivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Piper Report post Posted June 15, 2006 Daldora: I don't think the Germans have the depth to win. Take out Ballack, and the Germans aren't the force they can be. Take out Ballack and they win 4:2. Let Ballack play and they win 1:0 in the 93rd minute of the game. Sounds funny, somehow Piper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagpieLee Report post Posted June 15, 2006 Yeah I knew someone was going to pick up on that. But Germany were not the strong force they once were. Costa Rica were especially poor anyway, and put them up against a stronger team (i.e Poland), even WITH Ballack, and they will see how it is. The match with Poland could have been better though if Klose had tucked away his chances. Germany were quite unlucky when they hit the bar twice too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
