im watching it too, although i missed the germany math cause i was at school playing soccer lol. but its been really good so far. One thing ive noticed, this year every team is doing excellent, specially the ones that werent so important in the past. Like the trinidad and tobago math, they played an excellent game, and no one expected them to do so good. Its really hard to say whos going to win this one but lets see, its only stage 1 right now lol. Im a big football (soccer) fan and ive watched the fifa world cup as long as i can remember. I also used to be the goalkeeper for my soccer team in india |

CBC doesn't seem to have any televised coverage of the event for some reason, and I haven't got cable or satellite. That leaves me with the likes of Fox and ABC, neither of which seem to care about football (and yet, they go ape shit over that thing with the ball you pass around... what is it? "Football"? No, that can't be right...), and I've never been too crazed about podosphere to warrant spending bandwidth on it. But hell, I'll give it a try. Amailer wrote: Its crAzy!
I refuse to believe you actually did that. |

I was watching that game in a library on a computer in 89's minute Germany has hit the pole... twice! Then a minute into overtime they scored the winning goal. A buddy of mine jumped up screaming before he realized where he was. Heh, pretty funny. |

That whole game was crazy. Both teams played rough, so they both got punished. Blaming the referees seems like a big excuse from my point of view. |

Pff I don't like the US- but I just found that game unfair. This has to be the first match in this 2006 world cup where players get a red card for sliding, insted of a yellow card -.- Also, did no one see the elbow by the Italian dude?  |

http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/match/25/mr.html USA had 0 shots on goal... so i wouldnt exactly say they lost cuz they had 1 less player than italy |

True but, if they had 1 more player than italy they would have at least scored once. And they did have shots on goal, some close ones too o.O (Italy's, the most expensive golie in soccer, was good though) |

shots on goal is defined as shots that would go in without the presence of the goalie, and no they didnt have any |

I think people would be less upset if the FIFA world rankings were actually realistic. USA ranked fifth? Argentina ninth?? Germany 19th?!??? Of course it looks strange to have your fifth-ranked team probably exit without winning a single match... unless you consider the possibility that their odds-ranking (gamblers know best) places them around the low 20s overall. |
