No one thinks Australia could make it to the final? It's a very tough road I know.

[stazi]

i meant the scores the teams win by (with the largest scores first), too lazy to do it otherwise. teams in bold winnarzzz

 

[matt#1]

Fot tonight's match, i'll predict that the score will be:

Germany 2 (Klose, Lahm)
Sweden 1 (Larsson)

...Does anyone know what time is this match starting? Thanks.

 

[Paragon]

I was wondering, lol...


City on Tuesday morning ftw!!!

Speaking of City, apparently Keith Urban was at Circular Quay on Friday morning cheering on the Socceroos, standing on a crate. That was warmingly Australian of him. Go the crates. :uhhuh:

In front of 12,000 fans, at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre complete with a mosh pit, the band started their performance with Square One, the opening track of their latest album X&Y, which was the world's best-selling album last year."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA A Coldplay mosh pit?

 

[stazi]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA A Coldplay mosh pit?

babahhahahahahhahah good call.

 

[Paragon]

Wow,
Germany's into the Quarters already.
Klose's joy-riding on the Swedish defence.

 

[...]

lol sweden -_-


2-0

 

[stazi]

this game isn't 'klose' at all.

 

[matt#1]

At half-time: Germany 2-0 Sweden. What a start by Germany!...I really like their fast, effective style of football.

Despite not getting his name on the score sheet in this game so far...I have been most impressed by Miroslav Klose. Aside from his obvious finishing abilities...he also has superb skill and vision. I think that he might be snapped up by a bigger club at the conclusion of the world cup.

 

[sunjet]

Schweinsteiger sure fooled me

 

[matt#1]

Penalty Sweden!

 

[matt#1]

Larsson you are an idiot. Scoring a penalty obviously requires a bit of luck...but at the very minimum a man of his experience and ability should be able to get his shot on target. From this point..I can see this game blowing out to 3 or 4-0.

 

[stazi]

$10 @1.50 to germany to score a goal next.

 

[matt#1]

$10 @1.50 to germany to score a goal next.

Those look like reasonably good odds, because despite Germany's comfortable lead...they seemingly are not content to just sit back and defend. They look like scoring every time they go forward...so hopefully for your sake they will.
