The "OMG, Football World Championship in Germany!!!!" - thread

[Sewer Bull]

Very nice game played by Ivory Coast yesterday. They did nicely without Drogba. I'm pretty sure they'd go further in any other group. The Serbians have really disappointed me.
Argentina - The Netherlands sucked, just as I expected. Both coaches' decisions were tactically wise yet it resulted in rather poor showdown. Too bad, as the encounters between these two teams are true WorldCup classics (1978 final for example).

So, we have Argentina-Mexico and The Netherlands-Portugal. Argentina are going to pwn Mexico, no doubt about that. The second match seems to be much more interesting. Both teams met in the Euro 2004 semi-final. Portugal won, but they were the hosting team. And now Oranjes have a chance for a sweet, sweet revenge for that semi-final... Should be a good showdown, imo.

Today is very exciting, because of Group E. Damn, they are so going to fight till the very last second. Group F is boring - Brazil and Australia/Croatia. Possibly Australia, but it doesn't help them a lot, as they are going to be eaten alive by the winner of Group E... whoever would that be.
