World Cup 2006....babbbby!

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

Indeed Ghana played great, major congrats.

Just got home to watch Italy in the half now, so I see 1 - 1 and lots of blood amazing. Just came from a Portuguese tour through little Portugal and little Italy, lots of fans on both sides in the streets, this is the best sport hands down.

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

I don' t get it, Italy with a history in football (soccer) from the late 1800s can' t set USA straight and at least gain 2 goals over them....geeez. I was actually cheering on Italy in the last half that I watched. Sorry not a fan for USA in soccer, but are they that good to hold Italy at bay with there generations of experience.

Ouch.......I so thought 2 - 1 but the funny part that was almost USA with 2 - 1.

Bob not grinding Italy just thought they would teach USA a lesson in war so to speak.

[Shad0w]

No doubt.. Im very disappointed...
I cant believe italy scored on themselves and it cost em the win

Italy better get its **** together before next game

[.derek.]

go france.........

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

Yahoo France moved forward

So final 8 are:

France
Portugal
Germany
Italy
Brazil
Ukraine
England
Argentina

So congrats to those teams moving forward.

Today was the beginning of getting the final 4, with Italy taking out Ukraine 3 - 0 and Germany going threw a shoot out at 1 - 1 and penalty shoots at 4 - 2.

Tomorrow is a big deal for Portugal with so many yellow cards and a few reds, will struggle with England, but it should be interesting. Then France facing Brazil, one side my nation otherside a great team with major talent.

[Aaron_S]

it's been a long time since I've ever posted here...but good thread to come back to!

I pick Italia vs Brazil in the Finals. Always pushing for my country of Italy!
England will probably beat Portugal tomorrow morning but I don't think they'll get past France or Brazil. I'm also pretty sure Brazil will put it in the bag. Making them the only South American team to push to the finals. I was going for Argentina over Germany and they ALMOST had it.

[Aaron_S]

Going to the semi's... Italy vs Germany. Portugal vs France.

I can't believe the two powerhouses are gone! Soccer has chance for anyone to win. Although both the winners played well but I think England outplayed their opponents even with 10 men and two of their best off.

VIVA PORTUGAL





VIVA FRANCE

What a day, 2 of my national teams move forward, sad in a way was thinking Brazil but honoring nationality has to be first on my mind no matter what.

Can' t wait for next week.
