hat's true, but the defence is still the big weakness of the German team. I mean, Costa Rica scored 2 of its 3 goals against Germany, mostly because the defence was positioned really badly. They lack the routine they need and I think that could become a big problem against Sweden, since they play r...

Lots of goal chances often just means that the defence of the teams sucks and that the teams can't turn their chances into goals, both things I hate in football games. Neither was the case in that game. :? Well the english defending on both goals was pretty crappy And putting "giant" Beck...

so, did anybody else see England/Sweden today? I have to say, that was by far the best game I saw in this WC up to now. Both teams played really well, and very fair. I was kind of afraid of them playing a no-attack game since both teams were practically already qualified, but they showed us some gr...

:D Yay we won 3:0 today But Equador didn't really put up a fight, I expected a bit more from them. :? It will be interesting how we will be when we meet the first real good team I saw it and I have to say Brazil played a lot better this time. If they keep improving like this from game to game, they'...

So far I have to say that I was rather disappointed by most of the games. I expected *a lot* more from most of the teams, especially the big teams, and I can't think of a single team that really, really fought to win. :D How about Australia So, who does everybody think is going to win the WC this t...

Group B will certainly be one of the most interesting groups (at least for me) and I think that England and Sweden will pass this round and one of them will beat Germany then (sorry cooks) :D we will see England is propably going to top the group as hopefully do we, so we propably won't meet them i...

Yay a win for England! England 1 - Paraguay 0

I expected a bit more of England though and I am beginning to understand
why they are so deperate to get Rooney fit.


but then they won and that's more than Sweden can say.



:D Go! Trinidad and Tobago! you put up a great fight

In his head, he thinks that once we get married we're going to go on all these road trips that would require us to go off-roading or something :D This reminds me of a guy I used to know who said " Now I own a SUV, now I am going off-roading." :lol: He managed to flip over with his car and...

My question is, why do most North Americans still buy SUVs? I own a 1991 Honda Civic hatchback so it's very cheap on gas. I couldn't ever imagine owning a big ass car that sucks up as much gas as SUVs. :D Perhaps they love to scrub off the remains of the schoolkids they have run over every week. It...
