allardjd 1,853 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 It appears there's a good chance of a UK vs. Argentina game in the offing. Are you guys ready? Where's Maggie when you need her? John Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Better than that John, it's England - Germany next, so Winston is who we need... As for the USA, you have Ghana. That will be a good game to watch, either could progress. Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 USA Were above us due to goals scored. Germany followed by Argentina, after that who's left that we're had a fight with? I work for ze germans, really hope we don't loose Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 As I understand it, after points, it's "goal difference" which is Goals For minus Goals Against. But what do I know, I'm American. John Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 So much for the claims of the Americas dominating and Europe being nearly out after the group rounds... Europe - 6 Americas (incl. Mexico and US, which are really North America) - 7 Asia - 2 Africa - 1 ...after that who's left that we're had a fight with? Japan. Also, Japan and South Korea, if they were to meet, might be about more than soccer. John Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 A shame the Koreans didn't meet each other, that would have been entertaining! I still can't pick a winner of the whole thing! Link to post Share on other sites

simi_av8r 0 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Well, it was fun while it lasted. Go England! Go anyone but Ghana!John feeling a bit sore after that exhilarating 120 minutes of great football john? It was so close, the whole game it could have been either team progress, great football from both teams....but we needed a winner and, fate decided that the 1st QF is uraguay vs ghana! C'mon ghana!

rob16584 42 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I saw a comment before the tournament began from a Ghana player saying they were targetting the semi-finals at least. Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 John, i'll retract my last statement....based on Englands' performance today, i'm be embarrassed to be supporting them in this World Cup! We just about got away with the draw against the USA, couldn't step up to the challenge against Algeria, and, although we played averagely, we scraped through against Slovenia...to step up to play a much better, tighter, and more creative Germany was far too much of an ask. Yet, come August, Wayne Rooney will be blasting the goals in all from over the place, Gerrard and Lampard will be on top form, and their clubs will all be fighting it out to top the Premiership!

allardjd 1,853 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I'm really sorry, guys. I was hoping England would go all the way. Probably Argentina and Brazil in the finals, you think? John Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Time for a few transfers Simi made them already Mut...reserving the decision to remove Milner until i'm 100% Brazil / Argentina / Portugal / Spain are through!! Still, quite glad i had Suarez (2 goals) in yesterday, replaced him with Gyan (1 goal) and Muller today (2 goals)...now, do i remove Muller and replace with David Villa.....i dont know!

wisemanp 0 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Well wasn't that just atrocious?! I'm behind any team that plays good football... Japan seem to be right up there in that regard! Link to post Share on other sites

TapA321 0 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 In terms of the Germany-England match, I think that had the first half been fair and truthful, England would have entered the second half with a different opinion, and perhaps the defence would have been slightly stronger, rather than trying everything to squeeze and equalising goal. However, even though Germany seemed to beat England by a long way, the 2 goals that England scored in a single minute shows some serious weaknesses with the German defence, and against a team with completely different styles such as Brazil or Argentina, Germany would have no chance. (We'll see in the Arg-Ger game). In terms of other games, I desperately wanted the USA to beat Ghana, as I felt they really deserved it after that 92 minute goal against Algeria. I'm pleased with Holland's performance - although I think Brazil will see them back off home, unfortunately. As for France and Italy? Well..... Definately looking like a Brazil-Argentina final Cheers, George Link to post Share on other sites
