Surprisingly, Mexico didn't turn down on Argies 'til the final bits of the game. But I have to admit, that last goal was sweet.

It seems to me that japan have all the skills but they lack a lot of agression. Like in the australia game, I dont know if they were milking all their free kicks or not, but they were goin down REALLY easy whereas australia were trying to keep their feet most of the time. Thats also true with set pieces.... like ppl say that japan arent good at set pieces, and thats partly due to their mostly small height, but also because they arent aggressive enough.
I like the japanese team, and I like japanese football, so hopefully they can sort out their coaching problem and I'll look forward to watching them in the next tournament.
On another note, I'm goin to the pub tonight to watch the oz-italy game
. Lookin forward to a good show 
. PS: Erikson sucks balls and so does 4-5-1

...and btw I agree on Klose. I think Tevez, Klose and Ronaldo are the top three in this World Cup when it comes to scoring mentality.

I generally agree with you.
Aussies efficiently disabled our strongpoint and forced theirs on us throughout the game.
They were running like hunting dogs, taking harsh tuckles, firing powerful shots, putting overwhelming pressure in midfield, and so forth.
Before the opening Zico seriously believed we can make it to semi-final....(Ofcourse I didn't believe that!)
And the worst part is that our morale completely collapsed and we played awfully as if we lost the game especially after the equalizer,
while there was still some possibility to win or draw at the point.
Although I know our team wasn't fitted enough to show our ability and the whether was unbearable, but we still didn't deserve advancing to knockout round.
I hope Osim will create well trained, organized, sprited squad in next four years.
I'm sorry for Aussies...
The ref was really suck. I don't think its appropriate to concede ITA the PK in that situation, and I'm not sure Materazzi deserved marching out.
Ghana's Mission Impossible against Brazil is really intriguing, but I don't have enough guts to bet my money on Africa.

Yep, we were robbed. The game was ours until that STUPID decision. Damn that ref, damn him to hell. I wonder how much they payed him to do that??

from what i've heard from my friend in brazil everyone hates ronaldo cause he's put on weight and didnt score in the first game
he may not be as fast as he used to be but he still plays smart and creates goals. cant argue with the job torres is doing for spain either

The Brazillians are probably more pissed off that Ronaldo is taking up Robinho's spot..... cos Robinho is "The Prince" of football (since he has been compared to pele the king), or so they say. Good to watch, and will probably be a great footballer once they give him a proper chance.
I'm really not surprised by the fact how Italy beat Australia, I've been expecting something like this. I hated Italy before, and I hated them now.
Brazil is lucky cause Ghana's Essien ain't playing, hoping for an exciting match. Brazil should play with two strikers instead of using only Ronaldo, that fatty can't run all the time. Robinho would have a great chance to shine on the pitch with probably Ronaldo or Adriano.

I know how most people think of Ronaldo, still, he is unstoppable infront of the goal and with his 14 goals so far, he reached Muller the top scorer of all times in a world cup. Which means he'll propably hold another world record when this tournament's over.
About the weight, I remember how Maradonna played football despite his little belly a few years ago.

Suffered game Brazil X Ghana! Despite of the three goals, Brazil didn't play that good, and they have been much too slower than Ghana. Now, France X Spain will determine the next Quarter-final match. I hope Brazil gets France to payback that 3x0 back in '98.

Letting an inexperienced ref blow the whistle could lead to horrible outcome.... even hookers know about that!!
