World Cup 06 - Page 5

Hip Priest · 05.30.2006, 08:06 PM

Oh, can you nominate a captain? Right, hang on...

Пятхъдесят Шест · 05.30.2006, 08:13 PM

Yeah, I wondered why Gerrard had it next to his name on Jonny's team.

Hip Priest · 05.30.2006, 08:15 PM

Sorted - thanks.

Park Ji Sung gets the captaincy, although Gerrard may make a strong case later in the tournament. If South Korea and England both fall, then there's other candidates.

Hip Priest · 05.30.2006, 08:16 PM

We've a fourth team!

Пятхъдесят Шест · 05.30.2006, 08:16 PM

I may change mine, Ballack may not be the best choice.

Пятхъдесят Шест · 05.30.2006, 08:17 PM

Ah, who is it?!

Hip Priest · 05.30.2006, 08:18 PM

'querty' is the team, I haven't seen a username yet.

Hip Priest · 05.30.2006, 08:25 PM

Oh, it's dissappeared. Drat.

What on earth is going on out there?

Since the 1930s, only 16 teams have held the World Cup Trophy. In 10 days, the 2006 World Cup will begin. Pick your team, pick your jersey, then find your time.

Andy Roddick, reportedly playing with a foot injury, was eliminated in the early rounds of the French Open today.

Hip Priest · 05.31.2006, 05:46 PM

Tonight's friendlies:

Iran 5:2 Bosnia-Herzegovina
Paraguay 1:0 Georgia
Saudi Arabia 0:1 Turkey
Slovenia 3:1 Trinidad and Tobago
Switzerland 1:1 Italy
France 2:0 Denmark

Way to go, Iran!

Пятхъдесят Шест · 05.31.2006, 11:20 PM

The Switzerland - Italy result is a surprise.

'Its Swiss O'Clock!'

Hip Priest · 06.01.2006, 06:22 AM

Two very interesting friendlies today, I think:

Norway vs Korea Republic
Netherlands vs Mexico

pokkeherrie · 06.01.2006, 07:38 AM

They could be interesting games, but from what I've read Van Basten's mainly going to field second choice players tonight. Most of his first team will stay on the bench.

Also tonight are the semi-finals of the european under21 youth championships

Ukraine - Serbia and Montenegro
France - Netherlands

France playing well and definitely the favourites to claim the title. Netherlands have been a bit disappointing so far, but nevertheless still in it after beating title holders Italy. A bit of a surprise to see Serbia and Montenegro in the semi-finals and Ukrainian football is on the rise... watch out Europe.

Croatia Will Kick Australian & Japanies Asses 100%!
Land Argentina Has Got Lesson From Croatia 2 Months Ago

!@#$%! · 06.01.2006, 12:29 PM

ok i got a stupid fucking question to ask everyone.

WHEN THE FUCK DOES THIS START?

i gotta order me a satellite dish. i detest sports, but i make an exception for the world cup-- it's fucking world war !!!!

i hope a latin american team wins AGAIN

oh yeah...

johnnywinternoshow · 06.01.2006, 12:48 PM

first game is 9th of this month. I CANT FUCKING WAIT

germany vs costa rica i think

!@#$%! · 06.01.2006, 12:56 PM

holy fuck. i think i'm going to have to invade someone else's house, put a sleeping bag on the couch, and hope my screams don't wake them.

it would be fun (though unlikely) if costa rica gave germany a thrashing on the first game in their own turf... ha ha ha... first games are usually boring though. oh but im tuning...

johnnywinternoshow · 06.01.2006, 12:59 PM

if any costarican scores against "Jerry" I hope it's the chope (one of my nicknames was chope after this guy...dunno what relevance it had but it stuck, hence my old board name riffchope... there's something you didnt need to know)

johnnywinternoshow · 06.01.2006, 01:06 PM

I've been looking for this for ages... The diana ross penalty miss!

I wouldn't be too sure that it's unlikely; apart from the Germany team's lack of form, opening games have a tendency to cause a shock eg Argentina falling to the then-unknown Cameroon, France going down against, um, another African nation (was it Senegal? Papa Bouba Diop scored the goal, I think).

Costa Rica themselves famously beat Scotland, back in the days when Scotland ualified regularly for such things.
