Kinda feel bad for Domenech

 

[rode kardinaal]

Those players are all big boys, multi miljonairs. They knew what they were getting into with Domenech. If they didn't want to, as the grown men they are, they should've spoken up before the tournament, and demanded a replacement. OTOH, a coach should know when he doesn't have control over a group.

Anyway, soccer power nation France is looking like a banana republic right now.

What a goal by Fabiano (granted there were two missed handballs, but still...)

 

[Chaplin]

So I guess the new joke of the tournament is that France walking out represents the only time they've done anything as a team since they got to South Africa. LOL

 

[Dr. Jones]

Brazil...... What more can you say?

God I hope they get to play Spain... I am personally waiting for that one.

 

[Chaplin]

Strange ending having the pretty boy get 2 yellows. I could see how Ivory Coast complained about diving, but geez, even if that 2nd yellow was justified, what is the point of flopping around like a dying fish with your hands on your face when you were just elbowed in the chest?

Ridiculous. But then again, have you ever seen a more annoying coach than Dunga? The guy was crying the whole game.

 

[Shzm13]

Glad to see Kaka get kicked out.
Not like it'll be much of a difference for Brazil, Kakas been crap ever since he switched to Real Madrid

As much as the NBA's disciplinary system is a joke, FIFA's is 10x worse.

Obviously I don't dislike Brasil as much as you but damn...... Kaka scored two of their three goals yesterday.

His passing to Fabiano and Alano was inspired.

My calls on New Zealand and Serbia not looking so crazy eh?

 

[dreamcastrocks]

7 goals by Portugal???

Insane.

 

[CaptTurbo]

The great leader msay start a war based on this!

 

[Shzm13]

That might've been a little too harsh of Portugal's behalf. : /
I hope the north korean players dont end up missing again (for good) because of it.

 

[Dback Jon]

Well, in Portugal's defense, goal differential still could come into play...

Who said Serbia were no good? In fact Serbia seemed to be most people's dark horse picks. Don't try and act special.

Lol, we were giving him crap about them and their offense. I still think their offense is crap outside of Krasic though. Aside from their hand-happy defense, I think it's pretty great.

Beautiful gol by Chile

Beautiful gol by Chile

He was offsides before he hit the mini cross.

 

[Shzm13]

He was offsides before he hit the mini cross.

yeah, just saw that on the replay. : /

the gol itself was still nice though

 

[Zeno]

The Swiss/Chile game has been really entertaining. Both these teams could go through, wouldn't that be a shock since pretty much everybody thought Spain would be a lock.

New Zealand is not advancing and Serbia's offense is terrible.

I think Spain will still advance. They'll beat Honduras and maybe Chile. Chile/Brazil in the second round is going to be one of the better games in the tournament.

 

[Shzm13]

The ref during this Chile-Swiss match is about as yellow card happy as the one in Germany-Serbia. 9 total yellows and a red

 

[Zeno]

I think Spain will still advance too, but right now the Swiss have 3 points & Honduras left who they should beat. Spain will have to beat Chile to advance and it could come down to goal diff. To be honest I want Spain to advance, NOT the Swiss, Spain plays a much more entertaining style than the Swiss.

Am I talking ot the world? Im talking to the ASFN posters. In our polls Serbia wasnt even picked to advance let alone win the group. Go do some reading. I was taking heat.
