why don't you record it and then watch it the next day? I know it'll sound boring once you already find out the scores, but it's all about watching how they got those scores n how they all played....lol if you get what I mean

anyway, that game is going to be so effing tense......both my favourite teams are versing eachother Like if Australia didn't have a team, I would have gone for Brazil anytime....

yeh i know wat u mean...when australia gt kicked out im gonna go to brazil...but my number one priority goes to australia...then brazil

n lol..im not gonna record the match...i'll just watch the highlights at 5 ...but i'll be anxious all night wanting to know the score...and in the morning i'll probs run to the telly to see wat happs...but i know im gonna have trouble sleeping coz i'll have a gut feeling that we mite loose...i know i shudnt think that but yeh these things alwayz get to me...so i pray that we win...i'll make sure that i do pray the night before ...coz i did on monday when we were 1 down...and then all of a sudden we were 3-1...God is on aussie's side...woot

<3 Turkey. I also want Switzerland to fail, for obvious reasons.

I would have been inclined to tip a Poland-Germany draw previously. However, having watched the 1st round and their respective approaches:

Poland will struggle to score with a 4-5-1, their best bet would be set-pieces now given that Klinsmann has rightly decided to ditch the shambolic offside trap.

With Germany going gung-ho in front of the home faithful, and the return of Ballack in the centre of the park, Germany should get 1 or 2 on the board.

Hence, Germany to score more than Poland.

nah, i am really looking forward to this one. am just quickly eating dinner, showering and watching origin before it starts!

 

[sunjet]

France disappointed me, they better not continue their '02 fashion, domenech would of copped a lot in the papers

 

[copious]

im multi betting 3 wins, spain + tunisia + germany.

 

[sunjet]

spain better win.

 

[*Minka*]

I'd really like to see Spain stop being such underachievers. I felt horrible for them in Korea Japan after that fucked up Ref decision cost them a Semi Final place, so it would be nice to see some redemption from them.

 

[Paragon]

Hm, Spain haven't lost a single match since their defeat to Portugal at Euro, two years ago. They've basically never lost under Aragones.

Ukraine on the other hand were the first European team to qualify for this WC, besides Germany of course. With Spain expected to play a 4-3-3, it should be some attractive football tonight. By the way, I don't see why Ukraine should risk playing an unfit Shevchenko, especially given that Puyol doesn't like him very much.
