----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Jun 14, 2006 4:00 pm FIFA World Cup 2006 ----------------------------------- Oh come on, don't tell me no one is watching it :P Its crAzy! Just watched Germany's second match, they scored in the last 2 minutes (or 3) 1 nothing against Poland which means they should be going to the to the next stage (whats it called?) http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/worldcup/2006/scoreboards/today/ ----------------------------------- Ninja Wed Jun 14, 2006 5:26 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Jun 14, 2006 5:31 pm ----------------------------------- trinidad is gonna win! w00t w00t 1000:1 odds, im bettin 10 bucks! that means im gonna get $10,000 outta this :D ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Jun 14, 2006 7:04 pm Re: FIFA World Cup 2006 ----------------------------------- 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. Its crAzy! I refuse to believe you actually did that. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Jun 14, 2006 7:15 pm Re: FIFA World Cup 2006 ----------------------------------- Its crAzy! Just watched Germany's second match, they scored in the last 2 minutes (or 3) 1 nothing against Poland 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. ----------------------------------- Andy Wed Jun 14, 2006 7:17 pm ----------------------------------- its match, not math.. i found a way to stream live games on my laptop.. been watching them in class ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Jun 14, 2006 7:20 pm ----------------------------------- hey Andy - was it you who hooked up Gareth with live stream? Because we were doing just that on his laptop, and he keeps on saying how someone just hacked the app for him. ----------------------------------- Andy Wed Jun 14, 2006 9:22 pm ----------------------------------- lol yeah that would be me. he lives up stairs and we hang out all the time. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Jun 14, 2006 9:38 pm ----------------------------------- ah, cool. We should all go and play some pool at Dooley's 8-) I don't think I've seen you since U of T camp. ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Jun 14, 2006 9:55 pm ----------------------------------- Oh God. It's the Waterloo bulletinboard back again. ----------------------------------- Andy Thu Jun 15, 2006 12:48 am ----------------------------------- yeah we should definitely meet up.. maybe grab a beer one of the mondays for wings night ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Jun 17, 2006 5:24 pm ----------------------------------- Today Italy vs. US- I think the ref was a real IDIOT, I wanna KILL HIM. Italy should be been ownt if it wasn't for America losing 2 of its players -.- this game really pissed me off o.O ----------------------------------- Mazer Sat Jun 17, 2006 7:04 pm ----------------------------------- America lost? Why so upset? :wink: ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jun 17, 2006 7:31 pm ----------------------------------- Today Italy vs. US- I think the ref was a real IDIOT, I wanna KILL HIM. Italy should be been ownt if it wasn't for America losing 2 of its players -.- this game really pissed me off o.O are you kidding me? US players played dirty as hell. Italy played a bad game anywho.. but it doesnt matter since as long as they dont lose to czech, they'll advance.. i really doubt US is gona be ghana ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sat Jun 17, 2006 8:14 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Jun 17, 2006 10:40 pm ----------------------------------- 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? :roll: ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Jun 17, 2006 10:49 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- Amailer Sun Jun 18, 2006 9:27 am ----------------------------------- 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) ----------------------------------- Andy Sun Jun 18, 2006 10:35 am ----------------------------------- shots on goal is defined as shots that would go in without the presence of the goalie, and no they didnt have any ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Sun Jun 18, 2006 1:41 pm ----------------------------------- shots on goal is defined as shots that would go in without the presence of the goalie, and no they didnt have any They might have had shots of goals if they had 1 more player =\ ----------------------------------- Andy Sun Jun 18, 2006 5:38 pm ----------------------------------- hey, you play dirty, you ge punished, that's how the game works ----------------------------------- codemage Mon Jun 19, 2006 9:13 am ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- - IzAk - Mon Jun 19, 2006 1:20 pm ----------------------------------- ok who here saw the huge upset of ghana and czech republic? ----------------------------------- Amailer Mon Jun 19, 2006 1:24 pm ----------------------------------- I did :P Pretty sad, but I'm happy for Ghana :P ----------------------------------- - IzAk - Mon Jun 19, 2006 1:25 pm ----------------------------------- heck yes
