Interviewer on TV just asked Klasnic about referee and he said that besides some minor mistakes he hadn't seen Simunices cards
Oh my! I could not believe what I saw! This game had everything except the kitchen sink. Yellow cards, Red cards. One player getting 4 cards before he actually went off the pitch!!! How crazy was this game? What would have happened if this player after receiving two yellows had scored a goal and the his team wins? My heart was in my mouth. I screamed and yelled and cheered and booed! It had it all! Gotta love this game!!
The ref was awful. (& apparently he is one of the best in England pffffft) If that geezer had scored after not being sent off when he had 2 yellows it would have caused uproar, Australia would have gone mental, and rightly so. Such a great, exciting game to watch though. Especially the last 20 minutes. Glad I didn't watch the Brazil match.
Australia deserved to win this game with 3 goals in difference, Poll was on our side and (I just can't believe reactions after the match) Kranjcar had guts to say that there was foul before Tomas played with his hand and that there was offside when Australia scored second goal. But what about obvious penalty in 7" when Simunic wrestled Viduka or when Tomas played with his hand another time in second half? What about Simunices THREE yellow cards? And after everything Kranjcar has guts to even mention referee! I am very disappointed because of the army of out supporters in Germany but on the other hand I have to say that Australia deserved to go on because they were brave and wanted that victory (or draw) more than us. Go Soceroos! Believe me, Croats are with you in the rest of the championship!
Brazil, Brazil, Brazil. A team of champions. But are they a champion team? It's do or die time in the next round. I hope Brazil get knocked off just to shut the people up who jump on the bandwagon. There are plenty of other good soccer teams out there.
Mike, your thinking is towards the right directions I fully agree Yes they are!! I fully agree there are plenty of good soccer teams but, Brazil is better
Well... I bet 50 bucks that France go through the qualifications. I lost (well i think, if they do not win against togo which is highly probably regarding their dispicable playing on the ground....) , the BLUE are OLD and they S**K! Brazil is my second favorite ~ Go Go Brazil !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Argentin are playing the best football out of all the teams I've seen. I'd still Brazil rather won it though.
Is that because of the wars you were with Argentina Yes, Argentina is playing nice but I still don't see anyone mentioning Spain as potential winner. They also played some good games and they have good substitutes, which is, in my opinion, very important in later stages of the tournament...
It because of the war that I have to say that through gritted teeth You're right Spain are playing well, though they still have to meet a really good team. They have a lot of strength in their reserves though, I saw their substitutes and they could almost have quilfied using just a reserve team!
Spain is performing well. They are likely to reach quarter final but, I don't think they go beyond that
I think Germany's looking pretty impressive, and I would love to see them matched up with Brazil in the final. They do have the home advantage and have won all their games so far......
From what if seen the only teams that have a chance of winning are Brazil, Germany and Spain. All other teams are playing well but don’t have what it takes to be the champions.
