No, actually I really do. Australia will do what the other 3 teams have not done to Italy and that is press them. Guys like Materazzi and Pirlo suffer when this happens.

Hiddink knows the Italian team and Italian league very well. He alone is good for half-a-goal.

Pabs< don
t pretend to be against Itlai. We all now it's a reversed jinx, since you are "salado".

by **Buzzz** on 24 Jun 2006, 14:28

de Rossi is suspended for four games. I think Australia has a good chance of winning against Italy.

by **Buzzz** on 24 Jun 2006, 14:31

uh-oh what is this I hear on CNN about a clash between English and German fans? :cry:

It figures that CNN was going to focus on the few negative incident to happen during this WC.

fucking Brits and neonazis

by **Pabs** on 24 Jun 2006, 14:57

Well I'm glad you guys are more confident about Italy than I am, but as I've said all along, the stars have to align perfectly for this to happen. Moreso than other teams.

too old, too banged up, not mentally strong enough, Serie A's in a scandal, you name it.

Lionel Messi turns 19 today, so happy birthday to him. Unfortunately he will be on the bunch so non of his & Tevez's antics on the feild today. Those two can certainly be very entertaining.

Referee: Massimo Busacca (Switzerland).

Early goal for Mexico

by **Axé Brasil** on 24 Jun 2006, 15:21

Another goal for Mexico, but ths time it was own goal. Crespo wants it for himself sayng the ball touched his leg, but it was clear that Borgethi scored an own goal using his head.

by **Falc** on 24 Jun 2006, 15:22

1-1 on an own goal but someone explain to me how Crespo was not called for dangerous play.

by **Axé Brasil** on 24 Jun 2006, 15:23

I agree with you ,his leg was too high.

by **Falc** on 24 Jun 2006, 15:25

Penta - They just showed the goal again from another angle. Not only was his leg very high but he was pushing Borghetti. If a defender does this, it is a PK. But strikers get away with it all of the time.

(Guess what position I played?)

by **Axé Brasil** on 24 Jun 2006, 15:34

hehehe, spectator? ref?

Strikers are a different class, they earn more and can make things the others can´t without punishment

by **Axé Brasil** on 24 Jun 2006, 15:38

Have you noticed that La Volpe wasn´t on the field by the time of the national anthems? and his vibration when Mexico scored? kinda 5% of Pekerman´s vibration with Argentina´s goal.

by **Felix K** on 24 Jun 2006, 15:58

Great first half. Impressive defense by Mexico.

I need to see the replay of the scene where Heinze got yellow shortly before H/T. IMO he was quite lucky for not being sent off.

by **Pabs** on 24 Jun 2006, 16:00

all calls correct

- Argentina had another man back there for cover

- Crespo's goal was good and it did indeed go off his right toe, then shin, then in.

by **agentesecreto** on 24 Jun 2006, 16:02

La Volpe was trying to avoid the whole Argentine-Mexico thing. He is not known for being overtly emotional over goals. It was quite early. I told you guys we would own them Argentine bitches.

I guess I missed the wedding ceremony.

by **Pabs** on 24 Jun 2006, 16:03

First half comments

awesome start from Mexico. They put Argentina on the back foot and made them pay. Argentina struggled just to get in the Mexico end.

Now Argentina have played decent, but not great.

This game may very well go to ET's and then PK's like the Confederations Cup semi-final last summer.

by **Pabs** on 24 Jun 2006, 16:03

how you holding up, palo ?

by **agentesecreto** on 24 Jun 2006, 16:07

I cleaned the back yard and worked out beofre the game. Left during the second half of the Germany game, which was over to get a hair cut. My boy is watching the game with me at home and we';re both going nuts. I am typing just to not shit on myself.

Vamos Mexico. Vamos!!

by **Axé Brasil** on 24 Jun 2006, 16:36

I think the only thing that lacks in this mexican team is some dribbling abiity, they missed some great chances of counter attacks now due to that.

by **Axé Brasil** on 24 Jun 2006, 16:39

Borgetti doesn´t like Brasil, first he always scores against us, and now he´s scoring for Argentina, hehehehe. He almost got a red card now complaining at the ref since he didn´t call a fou when an argentine hit him in his face.

by **Axé Brasil** on 24 Jun 2006, 16:51

Mexico better be aware. Messi is entering.

by **Axé Brasil** on 24 Jun 2006, 16:58

I wonder how mexicans and argentine are now. The game is thrilling.

by **Felix K** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:04

That linesman is crap

He continued the tradition of the SPA vs UKR match by disallowing a regular Argentine goal shortly before the end of regulation.

So it's extra time. Let's see who Germany gets to face...

by **Pabs** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:04

I hate to say this but Argentina were called for offside in the 89th minute when it didn't exist.

by **agentesecreto** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:04

The whole country has come to a stop. Fubol is religion down there.

Fuerza Mexico!!

by **Buzzz** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:04

That was a bit boring. I am a tad bit disappointed in Argentina but two tumbs up to Mexico for holding them off and playing so well.

by **....** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:06

Ref also fooked up when he gave Castro a yellow card for Torrado's foul. Unfortunately for Mexico, they're starting to look a bit spent.

by **....** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:12

I don't think Argentina have disappointed, Buzzz. They've simply met a very good opponent today.

by **Buzzz** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:14

2-1 ARGENTINA!!!! :woohoo:

by **Axé Brasil** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:14

Damn it! F**cking golaço by Maxi Rodriguez

by **Axé Brasil** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:17

Maybe some extra cm coud have made the Mexican gk save tha ball

by **....** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:22

hehe I dunno. That looked unstoppable to me. Argentina seem to be playing the great football they did in 78 (I know 86 had Maradona but I think the 78 team was more complete and played better football as a team).

by **Pabs** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:24

nobody's fault. That was just a world class strike right there.

Agreed with Mark. Mexico look dead tired. In attack they are looking predictable. Zinha has disappointed since he came on.

by **Buzzz** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:24

The commentator remarked that is was past Messi's bed time. hehehe That is what I like about this sport, you are not over the hill by the time you are old enough to vote.

by **Pabs** on 24 Jun 2006, 17:25

oh. And Scaloni sucks. Maybe he'll make me eat my hat down the road, but he is a big liability.
