It's too bad that penalty didn't occur a few minutes earlier, just to make things interesting.

 

[postmaster]

Go Holland!
I have a lot of Dutch in me from my mother's side of the family and lots of relatives living there. I need to plan a trip that way again. I haven't been in about 15 years.

indeed. gotta love the Orange.

Orange and Black = GREAT colors.

Brazil/Chile now. Brazil fans want a 5-0 drubbing.

 

[ritari330]

Both games (so far) have had very little diving in them. Holland v. Brazil will be a great matchup WITHOUT diving. Who has ever heard of such a game?

 

[ritari330]

Thing of beauty... 1-nil Brazil

 

[ritari330]

Make it 2-nil from Luis Fabiano

 

[GagneFire12]

5-0 isn't out of the question...

 

[puckhead]

kaka just looks way too pasty to be Brazilian.


/wait, that didn't sound right.

 

[puckhead]

Robhino(od) has 8 goals in 6 career matches against Chile.
pretty impressive numbers.

Man, Argentina vs. Germany and Brazil vs. Holland - Both of these matches would be great finals, yet they are quarter-final match-ups.

meanwhile we got a kind of sub par matchup in Ghana and Uruguay

I wouldn't underestimate Uruguay. The South American teams have looked very strong thus far. If Paraguy wins tomorrow, 4 of 5 South American teams will have advanced to the round of 8, with the only loss being to another South American team.

Japan will beat Paraguy tomorrow....

and I'm not, they just aren't a traditional powerhouse of soccer even if they did win the first world cup...

this one seems destined for penalties. we are in the 2nd half of extra time.
Has been fairly entertaining despite the score.


(and I don't quite know what your second sentence said)

 

[puckhead]

we are off to penalties (first time in the tourney)

did they just refer to someone as "the man with the golden eyebrows"? wtf?
