World Cup 2006
- Thread starter epicstruggle
- Start date
So Brazil crank out an unconvincing 1-0 victory. I've seen this before somewhere...
We've now seen all the big teams, and they all look like one-man-bands to me. Take Ronaldinho out of Brazil, Riquelme out of Argentina, Rooney out of England, Henry out of France, Robben out of The Netherlands... and those teams become a different proposition. The only team that played with real conviction were the Czech Republic - who may well play Brazil if Italy win the group.
The tournament is getting more interesting.

My wife told me Ronaldo has 5 water bubble on his feet. He said this week that probably he could have a problems during the game and maybe not play at all.Deepak said:Yeah, Ronaldo is a pale shadow of his former self. Seems like he isn't fully fit, moving very slowly.
Bad of the brazilian coach not take seriouslly the Croat team.
Congratulations Croats.
Ill take a win for brazil however it comes. 
God, i hope ronaldo doesnt cost us another world cup.

France and Brazil's games today totally underwhelmed and disappointed. I was expecting fast, technical, counter-attacking football with a bit of flair from the French, and a sexy samba display that destroyed Croatia.
Instead I got shit, and more shit. Meh, both teams sucked big time, compared to the promise of their players. Viera, Henry, Zidane, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are some of the greatest players to ever kick a football, all of them match winners able to destroy the opposition in an instant, and none of them did a damn thing worth getting excited about.
If they carry on like that, England do have a chance

"Us"? I thought you were Indian?
They're all still holding back and saving the energy for the more important games, so they'll all just try to shoot a goal and take it home and nothing more yet. They'll start really playing as soon as eliminations start.
Yep, but i lived in brazil for a little over 10 years, and while growing up in brazil, players such as zico were my heroes._xxx_ said:"Us"? I thought you were Indian?

Saving energies?! They play once every three or four days! What kind of athletes are they if they have to "hold back" to save energies for 2 matches a week!? This is Brazil we're talking about! They're fit, they're young and full of..........
ok got over excited...
