Well, it seems to me that Germany didn't play that serious, particularly the defence line. They could've done way better.. prolly because they thought it'd be an easy game. Ah well, they did score 2 superb goals (top corner) from Lahm and Frings.

Finally, the forum's back up.
Now on yesterday's England vs Paraguay game. As is usual with Eriksson, great first half, boring second half. Taking Owen off and putting Hargreaves and Downing in? Just WTF was Eriksson thinking? And what's the point of bringing Walcott if he's not going to use him? More and more questions about his decision not to include Defoe in the squad. Plus I strongly demand Gerrard be allowed to roam freely, he's wasted in a defensive midfield role. At this rate, England are going to have a tough time beating Trinidad. Now on to Trinidad, congratulate them on holding Sweden to a goalless draw. Shaka Hislop and Dwight Yorke were just excellent in leading their countrymen, mostly plying their trade in the English lower divisions. As a tennis fan as well, I have an interesting dilemma today, should I watch Serbia-Montenegro play Netherlands, or should I stick with the Federer vs Nadal final? |

First my computer literally blew up plus i'm now completly broken, england won and sweden in a tie, and none of my lottery numbers were picked, shoot. At least Argentina and Ivory Coast delivered a nice match, i still cannot believe that sweden didn't scored, come on Larsson score like you scored for celtic. |

Well this has been a very promising first half, so far one of the better matches we've had (although yesterdays Argentina - ivory Coast was certainly very good as well. The dutch are pretty much in control, Serbia sticks to fast attack no real build-up. It's still uncertain though how the game will turn out, Serbia is quite a dangerous opponent |

I'm not very good in arguing, but I hope my opinion got clear. I do NOT want to be rated the same, as those people. Although I'm not that soccer fan, I like the idea that one can get into contact with people from lots of other nations. And the news also show that soccer connects the people in a way. They celebrate together and it does not really matter, from which country they are. ----------------------------------- By the way: Yeah, the Dutch won. My school-friend is definately very happy now. She studies in Amsterdam at the moment. |

There are areas in Germany where you shouldn't walk around being colored, as there are areas where you could easily get into trouble being white. Every bigger city has its own areas where it is not safe to venture *at all* just as in every other country. Making such a big thing out of it is racist. Discriminating Germans because of our heritage again ... see? |

full-expose on the problems and how many Football ruling entities in Europe (mainly Germany) all but ignored it...The reason being is they really don't consider it a "big thing"...tell that to those players of color who are shown at the near breaking point, having to be restrained by teammates, refs and EVEN players from the opposing squads from going into the stands and doing something about it themselves (In this expose there was no slanting of the issue, it was clear by the images and accounts)...I saw this with my OWN EYES....That's why I am initially concerned about it being there (Which has nothing to do with those Germans who are fair-minded individuals, I am being quite specific)...

^..mate seriously.. less talk on politics and more on the footy aite?
and dude, if you don't have anything to say about football, be a good samaritan and go express your petty thoughts in another thread. holland won..wohooo!!! arjen robben was awesome, a bit selfish though Iran didn't make a good account of themselves against mexico, i think they're a good side, pretty skillful, but had too many fouls. my tip for the world cup? germany may be causing the buzz, but i think they'll burn out.. a good bet is always brazil lol, i didn't get to see the argentina match, but i heard they were superb as well.. and later, italy v ghana.. it's gonna be a 3 am match that one.. will the italians be worth watching i wonder? |

What a waste. Japan lost 3 - 1 to Aussie. They had a good run before halftime and everything went downhill after that. I gotta say that the Japanese have to train their stamina if they wanna play big games like that. They're just lacking physical fitness. Ahh well, Aussies deserved their win anyway. I hope South Korea won't end up like Japan. xD

Australia 3 - 1 Japan
After trailing from a controversial first half goal, Australia made quite a remarkable comeback, Hiddink has done it again through his tactical substitutions, which contributed to all three goals. (Cahill with two and Aloisi finishing them off near the end. ) It's a pity Kewell missed that shot in the first half as well. Now Japan have a mountain to climb. But I don't suppose the Socceroos could beat Brazil, but who knows. |

Wow! Australia beats Japan 3:1 Before the match started I was going for Aus to win.. but towards the end I had doubts.. they were 1 goal down in the 83 minutine mark but were still playing good offensive football, they attacked better in the second half after they got all the Substitute on, and it showed with goal on the 84' 89' 92' In the end a Good match! XD

@ 1.0.7,
You should have seen Cote D'Ivoire vs. Argentinia. It was one.. no it was the most beautifull match so far (class of soccer vise). @ wingdarkness, What you may have seen, are the ultra rightwinged neonazi (type of hooligans here). Since many of them are known to police and FiFa it is unlikely, that such individuums come near a FiFa soccer arena (or have a ticket for the game). Some 2nd and 3rd league soccer clubs have problems with such "Fans" but I doubt there will be such incidents in the world championship. Also there is a problem with freedom of speech: news link1 news link2 But think in general it won't affect the world championship very much. @ all, I assume we (germany) will have to play against not so strong teams until in the quarter finals, thats strange luck (and very well known from the last worldchampionship ). But its very hot here now, I pity the teams that have to play today I'm sorry for japan
