lahm's goal was really good. germany's defence is terrible(at their best), and might actually benefit by having friedrich sent off(for just being crap)

cool first goal

Half Time, Germany 2 - Costa Rica 1

---------- Post added at 17:53 ---------- Previous post was at 17:52 ----------

That was an excellent first goal :)

Let's just see what they're like in the second half.

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
 

i can't believe lawrenson is trying to take as much credit away from frings as possible

very entertaining game, but i don't think kahn should be grinning when his team concedes a goal.

i hope england get them in the 2nd round cos this germany team(except for a select few) is rubbish

i thought frings' goal was just better than lahm's BTW

moving onto a different game for a second, i have no idea why pekerman insists on "hiding"(for lack of a better term) "carlitos" tevez. he is by far argentina's best player, yet pekerman would rather play saviola, who is far past his best(which is sad for a player his age)

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
 

did you see that big, sarcastic grin on Oliver Kahn's face when Wanchope put the second (offside) goal in against Lehman, classic sour kraut. :D

Ecuador seemed to have made a lively start 1-0 up

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
 

I see the **** of a manager that is Alex Ferguson is ****ed off that he got told by Sven on Rooney that now he gone and tried to unsettle Carrick by tabling a £10 million bid, I hope Jol tells him to knob off!!

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
 

I think that you will find another thread here for non world cup posts. ;)

I see the logic there...Sven annoys him, so Fergie goes and tries to get revenge by trying to sign Carrick...okay...you're not a scouse lover are you ;)

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
 

Plus the fact that Carrick isn't even going to be in the starting eleven. How can that be unsettling ? He's probably more concerned with making an impression with Sven, than wondering about where he will be in 6 weeks time.

And just to add, where exactly did this source come from ? If Man U signed every player they were linked with, they would have a squad of 200 every season.

Anyone else think the Embrace single is possibly the worst World Cup song ever?

IMO a football song needs to have more than a hint of 'laddishness' to it (a la Vindaloo, 3 Lions etc) - the problem is Embrace are too middle class to be 'lads'!

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
 

Not even heard that song yet, am i lucky?

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
 

If you're talking about travesty of England football songs - how about Christie's new effort? Flogging a dead 'orse ain't in it... :td:

Own goal in 3 mins by gamarra!

Haha, I don't really like football, but this is fun :D

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
 

Lol! Half time 1-0 to England!

Own goal was so funny... :P

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
 

England 1 - Paraguay 0

Well done England, well played, apart form appearing mega tired near the end... Mind you it was 30'C out there!

What was with the refferee though? Not letting water onto the pitch? Almost everything went Paraguays way in the second half as well.
Noi complaints though :D Keep it up for the rest of the WC :D

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
