It would be better if you put the names of the teams next to their respective uniforms. It's kind of hard to identify a team soley by it's uniform (and without memorizing the groups).
-
1) Brazil
2) Australia
i think the Aussies have got a pretty strong offence, I read earlier that Hiddink has signed a pre-contract to coach Russia after the WC :-X
-
australia are 4th favourites to qualify from this group
-
australia are 4th favourites to qualify from this group
What are the odds? I think the other three teams are pretty even.
1. Brazil
2. Australia
-
on BetFair, Australia are 3.05/1, Japan are 4.4/1.
-
my bad, my source must have been the exception
croatia are going for between 50/1 and 60/1
aussies for about 125/1 to 175/1
you can get odds on japan for 300/1
-
1) Brazil
2) Australia
-
This is the most interesting group for me... Brazil should be a sure shot but besides that everyone could advance...
... my bet though:
1st Brazil
2nd Japan
-
1 Brazil
2 Croatia
Hiddink is a great coach but I don't think they're gonna make it tho
and even tho they played 1-1 against Holland yesterday :D that says more about Holland than it does bout Australia
-
1. Brazil
2. Croatia

1. Brazil

Yup, but you never know with teams like Croatia, all 3 places behind Brazil is open in this group.

Yeah, you never know with Croatia, but Serie A has regenerated two of their key players: Tudor and Robert Kovac. Their defence is ok. I think they can survive in this group. Plus a few months ago they tied with Brazil in a friendly (great Kovac)...
-
Brazil
Croatia
-
1.Brazil
Then its a hard one. Equal teams if you ask me.
-
Brazil and Japan Hopefully
-
WHAT? you guys are on crack, whose Brazil? :D
I pick Japan to be 2nd seed
MatchDay 6
Brazil 3-0 Croatia
Aussies 1-2 Japan

Here's a list of when the games are gonna be played, you live in the U.S right?
http://www.worldcup2006ontv.com/games
And this is a pretty cool site that covers football and it shows the results of each team's past three friendlies

-
1. Brazil
2. Croatia but i think Japan has a legit chance of grabbing that 2nd seed. they have some real good underrated talent
-
hey man this group aint that bad either, the battle for 2nd will be tight coz we're all countin out the aussies and they aint bad 8)

- Brazil no doubt, really lookin forward to their matches.

Brazil
Australia

1. Brazil (will probably win the world cup)
2. Australia (any of the three teams have a chance though)
-
1. Croatia
2. Brazil
3. Australia
4. Japan
this will be the final standings. Only difference will maybe be that Brazil finishes 1st. But thats a big maybe ;D
I watched the Holland - Australia game, and I really wasnt impressed with Australia. Technicaly they suck. While watching the game for a minute I thought the Aussies were playing rugby, not football, when they injured 3 of Holland players. But they do have a heart. Thats their edge.
And Japan & South Korea will never pass through group stage again. Mark my words. Last World Cup was a disgrace. Referees were responsible for those two teams makin the second round. When I saw that South Korea games versus Italy and Spain it was all clear. Fucking Sepp Blatter and his referees from Ecuador and countries like that. When Collina was referee at Japan - Turkey game then it was no bullshit and Japan got kicked which it fully deserved.
On another note I cant wait for the 13th of June when Im going to Berlin to see Brazil get beaten by Croatia ;D

Australia proved Guus Hiddink is a great manager.

the refs might have been a factor in those games but u gotta admit south korea (My team) did pretty well against spain and italy...i was suprised how they are able to keep up with them...
-
fuck cant believe the aussies scored 3 goals in like 10mins,lol damn :(
-
Schwarzer was unlucky not to get a whistle on that goal, but regardless, he should've been in a much better position in the first place. But given that the ref apologized to him afterwards is proof that it shouldn't have been a goal..
The last 10 minutes was electrifying in my home.. we were all on the edge of our seats screaming..
The aussies are coming..
Prepare for world cup history 8)
-
Australia will beat Japan.
AHHHHHH! AUSSIE STYLE BABY! AUSSIE STYLE!!!
-
brazil sucked lol
-
brazil sucked lol
ronaldo didnt exist
-
Croatia were unlucky tonight
Thought that they deserved a draw
Prso was immense for Croatia, covered the whole park and done a lot of good work
Srna, Kovac R & N all had good games for Croatia
Ronaldo was shocking
Great goal by Kaka
The group IMO will be
Brazil 9 pts
Croatia 6 pts
Australia 3 pts
Japan 0 pts
-
yeah croatia were good.. but what u expect.. they came 3rd last time!
people always seem to overlook em..
i think the deserved a draw really..
and yeah ronaldo is shockingly bad.. they dissed the shit outta him in the commentary here
-
1. Brazil
2. Croatia
Yeah, you never know with Croatia, but Serie A has regenerated two of their key players: Tudor and Robert Kovac. Their defence is ok. I think they can survive in this group. Plus a few months ago they tied with Brazil in a friendly (great Kovac)...
I told y'all Croatia was a good team.
-
Lol at people dissing Ronaldo. Yeah hes fat and everything and doesnt run at all but he still is a great striker. Although he was injured a lot this season he was still the 1st scorer for Real. And you'll see that he'll be the first scorer on this WC too. I mean I really like Adriano but if Ronaldo was in his place when he missed that shot, Ronaldo would score 100%.
-
Australias gonna beat Brazilia! :banana_llama:
:sun: AUSSIEEEEEEEEEEE AUSSIEEE AUSSSIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :sun:

lol oh god

Ronaldo didn't even get near the ball. I can only remember him having one shot. He was walking all over the pitch and didn't seem to chase at all.
However, I suppose he is the type of player that can just turn it on and it is worthwile keeping him in the starting eleven.

nah man they been saying he's unfit, unfocused etc etc for months..
-
nah man they been saying he's unfit, unfocused etc etc for months..
Yeah he certainly looked unfit last nite, nothin like the gr8 striker that weve seen in the past, lets hope he improves 4 the nxt games.
-
Robert Kovac was a rock :o
-
This was the best supporting seen so far. Brazilian supporters were nowhere to be heard. Although we were smaller in numbers, we showed the world what it means to root for your team. Ill always remember that feeling. Something special.
If Croatia plays like this versus Japan, we will have no trouble beeting them. Aussies will be a tougher nut to crack but I think the quality is on our side.
-
ronaldo was horrible but his still an amazing striker, he just seems really unfit at the moment and lost out their, he has no confidence....maye his playing with a injury?.......one of the greatest strikers ever, and he'll get much better in this tournament
-
Robert Kovac was a rock :o
Well he started for Juventus over Lilian Thuram in the last 5-6 games playing great, i was expecting him to be in such a good condition.
-

would be cool.. but for the last year or two i've heard the same of ronaldos state.. i was kinda surprised to see him playing
-
croatia is gonna bi in the second place and THE WORLD CUP CHAPMION
nobody have deffence like Croatia
R.KOVAC SIMIC, TUDOR
Thug Life MOB We Out
RUUUZOO RUZO RCICCEE SVE SAM SUZE ISPLAKO
-
Why did Australia have to picknup so many yellow cards >:(. Newspapers are reporting Guus may rest some of the players withn yellow cards against Brazil so there is no chanch of them picking up another and missing the game against Croatia. The game against Croatia will probably decide second place in the group.
Unless Australia beat Brazil 8)
-
australia will not beat brazil
but i agree the last game
croatia vs australia
it will decide
so we have to wait and see
but first croatia have to beat japan
-
Brazil is lazy as fuck (with the excepttion of Kaka)
-
australia vs brasil is a nice match tho, australia can't just defend now , i love it !
-
Brilliant game, Australia really deserved a point.
2-0 really flatters Brazil.
-
Dida needs some new gloves for next season, he's had butter on them all season long.
-
Australia did their nation and footballing reputation a lot of good with that performance, they could have easily scored on a few occasions; Kewell's chance stands out.
Brazil are not performing like everyone expected, and thats probably the reason- the expectation everyone has. They have a lot of pressure on them to play the sort of football we;re used to from them. But other than Spain & Argentina, I cant think of any nation that is living up to expectation. No doubt we;ll see different performances in the knockout stages from a lot of nations.
-
For those watching in the U.S, check out Univision! :o :o :o
-
A hard win. Brazil are still playing with half power (at least it seems so with Ronaldinho, Adriano, Ronaldo). Robinho is a great player to come in the 2nd half he really speeds things up.
-
australia played well... enjoyable game though, made 15$, 10 on the win and 5 on first goal 8) easy pickin...
-
good game...oz deserved something from it....brazil picked it up after the break but aus looked good too
i'm backing aus to go through with brazil
ROUND OF 16
Czech Republic vs Brazil
Italy vs Australia
peace
-
Brazil needs to pick it up they haven't been playing to their full potential.
-
pretty good game...Ze Roberto played great, brasils defense is solid. Ronaldo finally contributed
We need to work on our set plays and crosses. We will get better each game!
-
Lucas Neil played really well for Australia in defense. Australia missed a few opportunities, but brazil also could have scored a couple more goals.Ronaldo had that opportuinity where he missed the ball
-
whys the greatest set piece player in the world sittin on the bench?
-
whys the greatest set piece player in the world sittin on the bench?
Becuase of Ronaldinho and Kaka...
-
This Croatia vs Australia game looks promising
-
Oh shit. Japan is beating Brazil 1-0 and Australia is tied with Croatia. With these results, Australia is in because of Goal Differential. Japan needs to score 2 more goals lol or hope that Croatia goes back on top and jsut score one more.
EDIT: Darn, Brazil tied it :P
-
fat boy got a goal.. i kinda feel for ronaldo.. he fell off..
he's now the greatest goal scored of all time ever in the world cup because of that goal.
-
he's now the greatest goal scored of all time ever in the world cup because of that goal.
he needs another to equal it & 2 more to beat the record
but he so overweight its raw listening to alan hansen call him a penguin
-
Waiting to know who will face Italy in the next round.. 8)
-
ah yeah.. for brazil though he's clear of their record..
he'll do it in this WC thoguh..
yeah and they compared his lardiness to the sistine chapel lol
-
damn, Brazil was 2/1 when behind, and I missed the bid just before the equalizer >:(.
-
lmao @ the Jap.
how can you go from a world-class save in the first-half from Juninho, to that..
-
Havent seen a team to work just to see one player ( Ronaldo) score.
Thank God he scored, lets hope he gained some confidence now.
-
3-1, Gilberto.
-
felt good to see Ronaldo get those two goals.... go Brazil!
-
i was hoping he'd get one more to get the whole record holder thing out of the way right then.
-
Great game brasil.....We played with our second team. Its not an 11 player squad its a 23 player squad and thats what brasiil plays with.
-
FUCK i hate uni exams !!! i missed Brazil vs. Japan :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
