It's not like Ronaldinho is injured.. Brazil didn't choose him because he is no longer any good.

excuse me? have you been living under a rock?

Has anyone noticed that most teams have been playing defensively in their first match, highlighted by the 1-0, 0-0 scorelines? :S

 

[zombie omie jay]

not the krauts

 

[onur91]

probably due to it being their opening match, very crucial. But Germany wasn't playing defensively, more on the offence...or maybe that's because Australia's offence was shockingly horrendous.

Tonight:
$10 on Spain to keep a clean sheet @ 1.67
$5 on Uruguay to win @ 2.20
$5 on Alexis Sanchez to be first goalscorer in Chile/Honduras @ 6.50

Predictions:

Honduras 0-2 Chile
Spain 3-1 Switzerland
Sth Africa 1-0 Uruguay

i think the ball also played a small part in keeping the scores low

That's true, the ball is just too light, players are over kicking.

Close to breaking even so far, deposited $150 at the start as stake for all of this.

north korea defend better than soccerwhos

edit: and new zealand attack better

With the first round almost done, Australia are easily the worst team at the world cup... only Honduras have a chance at beating us to the title now

ur joking...we only lost by 4 because of 10 men and germany are superior...most of the other games have been boring as shit...the first game sth africa has been the most exciting thus far

 

[Crestwood's_G]

The Brazil match against korea was pretty fun to watch hehehe

i saw the highlights...it wasnt bad...but wasnt realyl a fair even match haha

We were already 2 down when Cahill got sent off and we easily would have conceded again anyway

Tactically we were the most inept, our players were a joke individually. I said we were the worst team, not our game was the most boring.

 

[AbaKaan]

but that first goal by maiconn..... damn it was something

Damn....good....

dude, you cant draw those kind of conclusions after one round. if you could, australia would be knocked out and germany would be awarded the world cup.

why dont you wait a few weeks before you begin to proclaim a team, any team, as being the worst at the world cup.

(and btw, you cant logically determine who the worst team at the WC is anyway, no matter what happens, which is why i said what i said)

i agree with who ever said the games have been boring. i do imagine that the next 2 rounds will involve a much more risky and attacking style of play since there is an increased sense of urgency now
