Nope, but expected better performance...

In soccer, anything could happen.. "Did anyone expect Senegal to knock out France in 2002"? hehe!

[Sazabi]

Yeah anything could happen, Cameroon vs Argentina 2002 (1-0)

[Mike]

Didnt expect them to win, Was hoping for a draw. But was hoping for a much better performance. Was like watching Under 12's junior soccer sometimes. No one knew where they were suppose to be and who they were suppose to mark.

Anyway. Hope they do well next game. Will be a tough one.

off Australia topic for a bit.
i cant believe ITALY drew to Paraguya (think i spelt it wrong)
there way better than the way they played. paraguya isnt that good of a team and italy should of capatilised on that.
hope to see a better performance to my team

It's called "underestimating the competition"....
And the other team is Paraguay

[Poncho]

Paraguay's actually pretty good. They did well in qualifying against the likes of Argentina and Brazil but I still would have bet on Italy to win.

I saw the German coach being interviewed on the news today saying that the match against Australia was a good warm-up Sorry, I'm half German and hoping that they can go all the way this time. If not Germany, one of the African teams - IMO their style of play is the most exciting to watch.

yer i know but i think we all know that italy had that in the bag if they played rite.
thanks for the spell correction, had a feeling i was close.

I'm sorry Brett, but I still think Korea Republic (South Korea) is a more awesome & exciting team to watch..!!

[Poncho]

Yeah, they are pretty exciting too. Great foot skills but not as aerial.

[golden_dase]

Well... considering they're asian, they're vertically challenged (like me! )... so aerial shots will be to a disadvantage... lol

Just watched the kiwis, quite a good ending for them, yellow card so worth it cos they wont' get another goal in the tournament LOL

[werdna]

Go the Kiwi's. That was an awesome goal. And I agree, the yellow card was totally worth it. You could see the goalies heart sink when he realised they scored, with like 30 secs left.

On a side note, if New Zealanders are called Kiwi's, why aren't Aussies called Kangaroo's?

[Sazabi]

Kangaroo are a mouthful, which is why they are called Aussies

[Donna]

because Kangaroos aren't birds.....we would be the Emus....

[Sazabi]

*sings* I believe I can fly....... I believe I can touch the sky............

[Donna]

LOL Emus and Kiwis are flightless birds

[Sazabi]

Which is why I sing I do believe..... hahahhah

[sandgroper]

Aussie called skip.

[theonetruepath]

Aussie called skip.

I think you'll find that Aussie soccer players are called rootards.

And the coach was doing pro bono work for his home country...

[golden_dase]

South Korea vs Argentina match starts soon! It's going to be a great game, I'm hoping!

GO KOREA!!!!!!
