woot Brazil is on next

[Kazan]

i'll be out of the thread until after i view that game

[Flipside]

Who they playing?

[Shade]

Probably a good idea. What kind of time delay are they showing the matches at over there?

[Edit] Croatia

[Edit 2] Whoa... they've always had some chequered pattern on their shirts, but damn... this time round you could play a game of chess on each of those guys Might be a tactical advantage though, kind of a zebra effect when closely packed...

FIFA ordered the Croats to have less white on their shirt, apparently.

EDIT; well, that was a screamer.  I feel sorry for Croatia, they've been playing so well.

[Night Hammer]

very very nice shot

Roberto Carlos takes a lot of shots

[Shade]

Yeah, real good goal. Croatia may be down, but if they can keep that play up they're definitely not out yet.

[Edit] Nice security there Guards every 10m, yet the guy manages to get past them, over the adverts, across the whole field, over the adverts on the other side, past those guards, and manages to kiss the feet of the Croatian manager before being escorted from the field.  That guy would rule at Armoured Wankball, noone could ever stop him.

Superb effort by the Croats. Deserved a draw at the very least. Brazil was a bit disappointing though, plently of skill but not much spirit or willingness to work for it. Good game

[Black Wolf]

Shiiiiit... That second spot is looking mighty difficult for the Socceroos all of a sudden...

[Col. Fishguts]

Well, that was ****ing turgid.

I agree wholeheartedly, it was a pain to watch. I think since both teams know each other so well from the qualification , that they effectively nullified each other to a point where no actual gameplay was happening.

But hey, a point is a point

[Night Hammer]

eh....

[Col. Fishguts]

Ah, I was talking about the France : Switzerland match, not the Brazil game.

[Night Hammer]

yeahyeah so was i, that about how i felt about it... eh

[Colonol Dekker]

Colonol Dekkers from Wing Commander 4 onwards,
Brazil played god aweful.
Switerland were too defensive, And Thursdya should be good fuun.
PS- I hope Poland beat the Germans..

[Shade]

Wow. Spain look strong as hell. 2-0 in 17 minutes. Ukraine needs to switch up a couple of gears or this will be a total rout.

[Colonol Dekker]

Hmm the Ukraine switching up a gear,...............

[Shade]

They're good as a team, and players like Shevchenko are no joke to be up against. They just don't look it at the moment against Spain. Spain does seem to have switched down a gear after their 2nd goal, but they are still dangerous, still maintain like 70% possession and aren't letting anyone get too close to the goal.

[aldo_14]

Spain are flying.

I got coverage over IPTV at work

Unfortunately, it's ESPN, so the commentary is vapid, uninformative tosh.  And there are loads of adverts and a stupid bar cluttering the screen.

[Shade]

Nice, score one for football over work

[Night Hammer]

yeah unless its in high def i always watch it on the Spanish speaking channel

why isnt Cesc Fabregas playing?(not like hes really needed)
