    Bahahahaha! Except for maybe athletics and swimming, the Olympics mean fuck-all.

    They may not be top 5, but: - That was a friendly. - Many of Australia's starting XI played only minor roles at the World Cup itself. - Australia played at a much higher level. Generally, they were poor in all three of their friendlies (Greece, Holland, Liechtenstein)

    Germany had a very difficult match against Poland. In terms of going forward, anyway. This is going to be such a huge game, all of the Germany games have had an intense atmosphere, and this shapes as maybe the match-up of the tournament. As good as the Argentines have been, I think that if...

    According to Eurosportnews, that commentator claims no responsbility for the incident, claiming he can't remember saying those things, as he was caught up in the heat of the moment. On that note, how annoying was that Spanish commentator that you could hear during the call in the Spain-France...

    Spain, Spain, Spain. All of a sudden France have risen from drwas against the Swiss and Korea Republic to dominate and send one of the favourites packing. Thoroughly deserved as well. Spain ONCE AGAIN GO MISSING, how can anyone ever trust the Spanish. Germany v Argentina Italy v Ukraine...

    Wow. That just blew right open. Great finish to the half, France with their tails up for the second half. Zizou and Vieira playing to extend their international careers. No bigger moment now. PS How do defenders of legendary status such as Lilian Thuram make schoolboy errors like that?

    Go the Indominatable Li......oh. But go the Ghanian side anyway. It is very hard to see them getting on top - Micheal Assassin is just too big of a loss for them. Hopefully they can get a result...or otherwise I hope Brazil school them. No more honourable losses for this tourney, it is all or...

    - Francesco Totti probably won't be "rotting away in Serie B." Four teams are to stand trial - Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Juventus. Totti plays for ROMA. And I thought Totti was quite influential when he came on, to be honest. Anybody who has watched Roma play in the past few seasons will...

    Arse. The team was reaching its collective peak - many of them will not be back in four years time. We will have fuck knows who coaching us. In terms of the draw we will be faced with a completely different situation. (Judging by the standard of this match, semi finals would of been very...

    That is the fourth night in a row that somebody has recieved two yellow cards in the first half! The oranje have been given a lifeline with Costinha being sent off; otherwise it was just about over. Even now, I think the only way that they can get back in the match is through some brilliance...

    Ecuador have certainly come to play. I for one am very surprised, I was pretty sure they would lose their momentum after losing 3-0. Very, very tight contest, I'm not sure which way this will go. Does look like one goal will win it, though.

    WAAAHHHHH. Crazy. So absolutely spent, haven't been to sleep yet. - Zeljko Kalac, you are one lucky man. You would never have been able to walk the streets of Australia again had we lost. - Josip Simunic, you WONT be able to walk the streets of Australia again, you cheating f*ck. I can't...

    Both Spain and the Netherlands have dramatically improved in the past two years, just as Portugal obviously have.

    The Official 2006 FIFA World Cup thread.

    The overall standard of Euro 2004 was relatively poor, especially in comparsion to this tournament. Also Portugal didn't really beat anybody of quality. (Although some may argue that England are quality) Portugal have always been thought upon of a team full of individual brilliance, but lacked...

    1-0. Mexico may yet be going home? (Although I doubt it) Portugal are really surprising me in this tournament. 2nd Round v Argentina/Holland is going to be epic.

    Yawn? That was Germany's best half they have played in four years. They have both pressed and sat back, and Ecuador have not had a chance. The Klose-led German machine is beginning function. I don't really know much about Ecuador but imo they appear to be a confidence and form team. They...

    Great finish to Group A, I have been looking forward to this game very much since last Thursday, when Ecuador dominated the shit out of Costa Rica. Should they perform here, and I expect that they will, they may very be quarter final contenders (or better). Very interesting to see how Germany...
