The Official Group E Thread (Italy, Czech, Ghana, USA)

[Intriago33]

Dissapointing from the Americans, McBride got no service at all.

Tomas Rosicky- best solo-performance of the tournament so far imo.
2 piledrivers from range, (unfortunate on the second), and great close control before confidentally finishing the Czech's 3rd.

Slightly worrying for the Italians now, with the Czech's holding a +3 GD, nobody wants to finish 2nd in this group.

3-0, and that's even Czech without their 2 best strikers, Koller injured early on, and Baros out with injury.

[Jip]

i think its safe to say that america suck

You don't know the feeling we Canadians get everytime we see USA lose any game.

Czechs performed like I expected. Quality side, I thought they were gonna win the Euro's 2 years back and I think they;ll go far this time too. Koller;s injury is a blow but Baros should be fit in time for the 2nd game if not the 3rd. Rosicky & Nedved ran the show.

I think they are using the stupid record against the team you are level with thing rather than goal difference to decide the group placings. They did at the Euros and in qualifying.

Yep, they will.

Should things go as expected, and the Czech's beat Ghana.. and Italy beat USA & Ghana, then there's a good possibility Italy-Czech's could tie, meaning Italy need to rack up some goals in the next two fixtures..

I told you all not to sleep on Rosicky and Nedved. Nedved in particular was on fire before the WC..
Now i'm a little bit worried about Italy. I mean the 2nd in this group will face Brazil!

Yeah man Ghana is playing pretty good. They had a couple of chances but haven't taken advantage of them...Let's see how the second half goes.

[Javier]

Ghana can't make these wide open shots.  This has been a really fun game.

Czech Republic showed today why they should be considered one of the teams that can win the World Cup.

Damn, Czech Republic straight out shut down the U.S wingers...which is their strenght and how they usually soccer.
