    Japanese goalkeeper is probably going to be working in the mines now ;(.

    Certainly had good spirit though just... gah.

    Shame to see Australia knocked out, won't be able to show our fighting spirit...

    I cant wait for the goals of the cup, interesting to see alot of teams shooting from long range

    been busy the past week :D ..

    yeah..when england were in training, either lampard or gerrard commented that the ball will be difficult for goalies to catch and therefore they will be trying for long shots more often..
    but i don't really see them trying THAT much :nope:

    shame for Serbia though..thought they might be able to make it through..

    hmm..i am pretty sure that they won 7-0 VS North Korea not Japan :D

    England VS Germany !!! ENGLAND FTW !!!!!! XD XD

    How is this particular match ball harder to catch than previous, I think i should give up football and become goalie for Australia, soft hands is the key...

    From the matches ive seen, they look intimidated to mark/catch the ball, isnt confidence the number 1 thing the coach is implementing?

    Have you played with the ball? It's EXTREMELY light compared to all other balls, and it swerves very unpredtictably at the end of shots. Must say I'm not a big fan of it.

    i do wonder why does it swerves unpredictably though. i do know a ball will sweve irregularly if its out of shape XD .

    Slovakia FTW !!! YES ! Italy is like the worseST title defending team EVER ! lol..i hate italy because of what happened at the last world cup :D .

    btw, isn't Howard Webb like the worse referee ever !?! lol i kinda remember his name. 8 Yellow cards in the match :O

    AND..u turned BLUE ! In a GOOD WAY ! XD ..congrats man !

    USA played really well for the most part, bad calls by the refs. Glad they got top of there team.

    Portugal and Brazil tied and both go on to the next round. That was pretty interesting.

    Mexico has to play Argentina...think they will win?

    Korea DPR 0 - 3 Ivory Coast

    lol. after N.Korea's first match, i thought they might actually have a shot at this..then that 7-0 trashing completely ended everything..kinda impossible for Ivory Coast to win even before this match..they needed like 9 goals in this match to be able to win on goal difference..

    Portugal 0 - 0 Brazil

    bleh..nothing nice in this match i guess..read about the match on soccernet..i hope the finals can be between Brazil and Spain ! would be real great :D..

    i think that Uruguay should be able to win but i HOPE S.Korea can go through XD

    if the US keeps up with their previous performance, they can actually go through to the next round..
