The US got more the Italy?!

Guess there's no substitute for practice.

At least the US cards were simply "roughness" cards. Italy's was one of malice. Typical, if you ask me..

What?! Italy?! Never!

I still recall sometime in the latter half of the '90 when one italian player has over a meter away from Hagi and fell down and got a free kick. It's how they play the game. Something along the lines of "either you or him must fall down".

One word to describe the Italian players: "Unsporting".

Wow that match was painful to watch. I'm glad we got the much-needed point, but geez. This kind of football is just not our game.

I wouldn't be surprised if the suspension is longer. I think it was the last World Cup where one of the judgets went mad and started handing out cards (even red ones) for things that should just have been a free kick. I expected the players who got them to only have to have a 1 game suspension, but they all got at least two.

Australians everywhere must be tearing their hair out because of Kewell. The bloody goal was empty.

2-0 for Brazil. But their game was pretty dull, and they didn't seem to be trying. Hopefully saving themselves for the final.

It really is.Athough I expect it to be a draw soon.

EDIT:Sooner than I expected.

ANOTHER EDIT:This second goal was expected.A nice one nevertheless.

2-1 Spain. Nice fightback. And bye bye Tunisia.

DaemianLucifer · Unread postby **DaemianLucifer** » 19 Jun 2006, 20:47

A nice opportunity for tunisia,and even nicer one for spain after that.But it stays 2-1.The spain just dominated this game.

EDIT:A penalty?3-1
