oops yeh aus will vs italy

 

[stazi]

DAMN IT italy v australia on the 25th

 

[matt#1]

Czechs down to 10 men. Polak sent off. Is this the end of the FIFA #2 ranked nation already? I hope not...because they are one of the most entertaining teams.

 

[stazi]

wow for all of you following the score of the ghana match, seems like its a great game

 

[sunjet]

Spoiler

2-1.. penalty goal just scored by ghana thanks to acmilan who's watching espn

 

[acmilan]

Yeah lots of action in the ghana vs usa game. Watching it live, pretty good.

well, they're used to playing with 10, after last week against ghana. I still have faith they can equalise (although I think that's a very slim chance

Ghana would obviously have been a more favourable team to face...but Italy is ok. We can prove to the world just how good we are and how overrated the Italians are. Besides...Guus has knocked them out before with S. Korea.

Looking forward to the Ghana replay.

I'd like to see both Italy and Australia go far. For that to happen the Czechs need an equaliser... doesn't look likely though with 10 men against an Italian defense =/

XXXXXXXX thanks to acmilan who's watching espn

can you please put spoiler tags around that? some people may want to watch that game after.
you dont need espn, just go to www.soccernet.com matchcasts

 

[_dhj_]

Yeah spoiler tag would have been nice

 

[stazi]

well, the czechs still dont look like they're out of it. *crosses fingers*

 

[stazi]

this is terrible, italy is swamping their half with players, leaving the czechs no room at all

 

[stazi]

Australia v Italy it is then

well, guus did it with the south koreans against the italians, so, perhaps, we do have a chance.

 

[_dhj_]

Damn... looks like Italy will have to go out early again. Would have been great if they were in a position to knock out Brasil

hate Brasil. Anyone to win the world cup except for Brasil,...

 

[Captain Gh3y]

They must be pretty happy with Ghana, free entry to the quarters for Brazil.

 

[stazi]

not a bad game overall. bed time.

 

[AsyLum]

Italy v Australia, best chance, take them to a penalty shoot out

Brazil v Ghana, cracker of a game, two attacking nations

Hey guys, World Cup Website said Zeljko Kalac > Mark Schwarzer.

Discuss.

I have a feeling that this is going to be the WC of revenge. Italy to beat Hiddink's Australia and Spain to beat Korea in the R16 is my bet.
