So. About that final Group A match that decides the winner, who do you think will come out on top? Currently, Ecuador is in first and Germany in second but only by a goal differential of 1 goal. ECU and GER face off in the final match. Not that it's extremely important to me, but I'm kinda filling out this bracket I have and, although it's impossible for the other 2 teams to qualify since ECU and GER clinched the 2 spots, that final match will decided the positions and, therefore, their spot in the bracket. I guess I just wanna get a headstart.

Should be a great game. Although I've seen ECU play MANY MANY TIMES during the South American qualifiers, they've actually impressed me in this cup. MUCH better than their play in qualifiers.

I wish I had not watched it. >.>

You people watch those teams that stink? I didnt even know they were playing.
When i saw on the program Mexico-Angola, thought, what the f is that...and skipped.
I watch teams as Portugal, Czech, USA (well USA seems to stink but its USA).
Still there is like 5 hours to the first play..so i thought i could check the board out..

omg. I'll have heart attack during this game for sure. But I hope Germany'll win. At least they almost won the last World Cup.

Mexico is actually a pretty darn good team and that is why I watched. I had also placed a bet on the game with my dad so that was another reason for me watching.

I just watched the match between Portugal and Iran, I expected much much more from Portugal. Iran had their chances but they blew all of them. I hope that Portugal will get more organized in the future.

Sorry for being late, but I didn't really think the match between Ivory Coast and the Netherlands was too awesome. Ivory Coast was much better than the Netherlands. The match was more exciting than the match between dutchieland and Servia Montenegro though.
But I think the referee was really really against the Netherlands. I mean, one guy from Ivory Coast kicks Van Der Sar, and he only gets a yellow card? I mean, it was a little kick, but most certainly not needed. And it was just horrible to see from both teams how those "sport gods" were in such "pain" after a little fall on their hip or something, and when they get up after hearing they got a free kick

One part I hate about soccer.
I loved the way Van Persie played. He was just awesome, and he's gonna get better in the future, I just know it.

Well done Ghana, excellent game of football. Nice to see Africa get thier first win of the tournament. Cech was awesome, also great saves by Kingston at the end its gonna be an exciting final day for this group.

**Oceantron** · 06-17-2006, 01:05 PM

Hate to say it because I thought the Chechs would win, but Ghana killed them! They had so many fantastic plays that it was getting ridiculous! I just hope that Italy will come out of that locker room with a lot of energy against the US or else the same thing could happen to them.

Go Italy!

Karmen · 06-17-2006, 01:31 PM

Ghana did an excelent match!!!

Let's wait what happens with Italy!

**mercury_amy** · 06-17-2006, 02:33 PM

Holy crap on the red card on Italy. Poor McBride. It's tied so far, let's see who can score the next goal!
