What a Brillaint start to the world cup! Quality games from Everyone so far...I am well impressedd...except for England...what a load of utter shite that game was...we deserved to lose 2-0. We need to pull our socks up or we aren't going to get far at all.
Well done T&T for holding the swedes to a draw - they played passionately and were a joy to watch. The Ivory Coast vs. Argentina game was a gem too...too bad teh argies won!

(Jun 11 06, 14:06)i was extremely excited during that match. ivory coast played such great football it almost made me cry. argentina was completely pwned by them and did not deserve to win, at all.
the moral winners are the players of ivory coast anyway!

Yea they did everything but win. I was laughing though since they are playing the Dutch ... are they going to wear all green?
They have to I imagine, or white. They don't have that much clout ... yet.

haha i was thinking the same, flavor..
but as i remember it is mostly us who change colors in situations like these..
i wonder if there's some rule for this, who has to change color??
i HATE it when we play in white or blue as we do sometimes..
orange is more aggressive and intimidating..
it has been proven that agressive colors, esp. red, wins more matches then other cooler colors like white and blue. there was some scientific research on this.. last year or so.
pretty interesting.

(Jun 11 06, 14:06)Definitely the best match played so far.
Holland game was pretty exciting for the first half, after that it went to the shitters.
It's funny edgar davids, patrick kluivert, stamp were all left out of this world cup. They went with much younger side this time around.

---it was the terrible heat. both parties suffered the slowdown due to the weather.

(Jun 11 06, 15:45)I like Marco Van Basten has done with the team. Younger side is the way to go.

I'm not going to fault Van Basten for his player picks - he's got talent out of this world and mgmgt skills to boot.
The proof will be in the pudding I suppose. Passing and dribbling was exquisite for teh first half...

I probably won't be in this thread during the weekdays as I'm taping all the games and trying to not hear/see anything of them until I get home.
Though I am taking a long lunch for the US game in a few hours.
