Tournament Thread : World Cup Football 2006

[Mr-Cricket]

Same here, Sydney. I finished work at 12am and decided at the last minute to stay up for the England game. Well, I couldn't be bothered going to bed more than anything. Looking back, I don't think it was such a great idea.

Off to bed now though.

n what was it the referee ??
couldnt keep hand out of his pocket... 5 yellow cards to the TNT's... thought that was quite biased....
if england plays like this...
God will need to save them
not their old hag queen

Trinidad still got a chance to move to the second round. Too bad they let another one go at the end but that was a damn good goal though.

Trinidad deserved something from the match (although I support England). Hope they get through though.

Sweden 0:0 Paraguay

[ialbd]

sweden denied a clear goal when the sideline referee called a wrong offside,

and sweden almost scored (with the player being off side & the referee missing that) as I write.....

Well Sweden won and Paraguay becomes the third nation to be elimanted from the 2006 World Cup, the others being Poland and Costa Rica.

Argentina go two up - looks like the end of the road for Serbia & Montenegro - possibly forever.

[abdulw11]

Crespo unfairly denied a goal by the offside flag.

[abdulw11]

3-0! Serbia & Montenegro look in danger of getting thrashed.

[ialbd]

serbian defense looked so tight in the dutch game, but I think that was just holland playing crappy...

I'm quite surprised at Serbia's defending, actually. They only conceded 1 goal in 10 matches in qualifying and topped their group ahead of Spain. Even though I thought they wouldn't score too many goals, I expected them to keep their backline tight.

Argentina 3:0 Serbia & Montenegro

Goals:
R Maxi (6')
E Cambiasso (31')
R Maxi (41')

Argentines are breaching the best european defence (on qualifying record) at will. three goals - one from the right, one from the left, two from the middle (though one was judged very harshly as offside). And Riquelem is taking rest after first 10 minutes. Saviola and Sorin doing the damage

What a game by Argentina. 3 goals in first half and simply dominating the second half. Serbia reduced to 10 man.

I am really impressed with my team's performance so far.

[abdulw11]

That third goal was all down to Serbia's complacent defending and Argentina's, or more precisely Saviola's, sheer determination.

[Mr-Cricket]

Kezman sent off. S&M in a spot of bother.

Argentina still only 3 goals up in the 75th.

And theres the goal!

Crespo scores in the 78th!

Argentina 4-0 S&M

All is forgiven.

[abdulw11]

4-0.

Crespo with the 4th for Argentina. S&M look out of their depth!

[abdulw11]

Another great goal. 5-0.

Argentina are asserting their authority on the World Cup.

[Mr-Cricket]

Tevez scores a beauty!

Argentina 5-0 S&M!

This is a rout!

Poor defending, but.

[Miraz]

Crespo and Tevez strikes.
WOW what a game !!

Argentina is playing the best football of the tournamnet.

[sadi]

arg is killing them... 5-0

Defiantely! At the same time, they are also striking fear into potential opponents.

S&M are suffering the worst defeat of this World Cup. Ukraine must be glad.
