Deni0517 Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Zidane still has it! I got 7 of 8 teams right that will be in 1/4 finals, only team I didn't see in 1/4 finals is Ukraine, up $450 on sportsbook beating, would be much more if I didn't bet on my stupid Serbs to tie some games 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest musicalmissionary Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 The only downside was Thierry Henry holding his face after he was elbowed in the chest - another incident in favour of using video after the game to punish cheating that is missed by the referee. 8)Totally agreed. I'm not gunnu whine cuz Spain didn't deserve to win... but this diving bulshit makes me wanna kill somebody FOR REAL. He wasn't even elbowed anywhere... he had already blatantly pushed the defender down to the ground before he played the victim. There's no amount of intelligence that can argue that plays like that should be reviewed after the match and players suspended. I guarantee you players will stop diving like that if they face possible suspension. There's not a single camera angle that doesn't show Henry should be penalized for that bullshit.Oh well... go BRAZIL!!!... beat the piss out of the french pussies.

Guest Cosmigonon Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Well, we got almost all the former world champions in quarterfinals: Brasil, England, Germany, Italia, Argentina, and France.Unless Portugal or Ukraine do something extraodinary, we won't have a new member in that exclusive club...

A yellow card awarded after the game for incidences like this would soon stamp it out. Hopefully FIFA will grow some balls in time for the start of the new domestic season...

Guest Cosmigonon Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Extraordinary? Portugal has been playing better than the English.If C. Ronaldo plays, I'm picking them to win.Meaning that there's only 1 in 4 chances of having a new world champion. Not saying it's imposible, but right now history has weighed a lot more than in the previous 3 world cups... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 Dam history repeats itselfSpain once again chokes dam they can never advance atleast to the semisAs for Brazil they made it to the final 8 without really playing anyone.Just like Germany until they play Argentina this friday.Brazil will walk all over France,to think the only team I thought can give Brazil a fight was Spain : I see Brazil in the finals already (hopefully my predictions are just as bad as Ricks) vs the Germany-Argentina game.

Guest Major Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 ARGENTINA vs GERMANYWell i almost got my prediction right on mexico beating Argentina, so i'm going for it again, i'm going for home advantage to beat the arrogant cocky Argies. The teams are evenly matched hopefully we'll see a lot less diving from certain players I can't wait for this match, it has the potential to be the game of the tournament.It should be a classic!Come on Germany!!!!!

Guest Dj_Peace Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 the best thing about the world cup thus far is the emeregence of serious contenders for years to come, such as Ghana, Ecuador and possibly TNT. My best experience so far - watching the World Cup at a bar in Beijing last week with about 300 rowdy fans drinking Sake and Tsingtao beer! And ya know what i learned - Goooooooooooooooaaaaallllll! is the same in every language - thats why you gotta love football -it is the common denominator and the great unifier of the masses!

Deni0517 Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 Will history repeat itself, how people come up with this I don't get it ;DArgentina won in 1978+1986=3964Germany won in 1974+1990=3964Brazil won in 1962+2002=3964Brazil again in 1970+1994=3964So 3964-2006=1958 which means Brazil again.England screwed up this "statistic" in 1998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deni0517 Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 Watch out for "funny" calls and offside's in 1/4 finals also.Ref from games Cro-Aus and Por-Hol have been sent home because I guess they didnt do job right, Cro and Hol were suppose to win those games.Ref from Ita-Aus is going to be ref on Brazil-France and ref from Brazil-Ghana game will be ref on Germany-Argentina game.And this is all coincidence, I don't think so. So I'm guessing ref's will be going towards European teams to go through (Fra and Ger) or maybe towards Brazil and Germany, in either way I don't see them going Argentina's way so in orded for Argentina to go through they will have to play against 13 (ref and home court fans). Also ref for Eng-Por game is from Argentina. I saw this on one website, I hope it's not true but I don't see why they would lie about it.
