World Cup 2006

[Aoi Kurenai]

This game was a real bore until the last 10-15 minutes. But that just goes to show that when they're really trying, South Korea is a true world class team. I think it's just that they sometimes they let the fact that they have great endurance go to their heads. If they had been playing this way all game, or even just most if it and scored 1-2 goals, they could have won the game.

Now a little rant of mine on Brazil, they're completely top heavy, all flair and individuality in attack but lacking in defense. 11 individuals are not a team. They'll most likely get to the quaters but it's not as straight forwards as everyone expects. They'll face either Italy or Czech Republic(maybe the US) in the second round of the World Cup, depending on who wins that group. That alone is going to be a very hard round to get out of, Saudi Arabia as a whole is playing like a great team, so I expect them to get into round two and maybe take down Spain. I'm expecting that it'll end up as Brazil v South Korea in one of the quarterfinal matches. If that happens and if Brazil plays they way they have been lately and South Korea goes in knowing how much is on the line, I can say that I honestly see South Korea beating Brazil

Korea drops down to 2nd place in the standings.
They must win on Fritday in order to advance.

Lies, Spain will pwn.

Lies, Spain will pwn.

After yesterday's game, I'm starting to think that myself, but the Saudis usually have one game where they lose by a large amount.

The World Cup at it's most sexy.

On the sidenote, can someone make a banner for me with the pics?

 

[Aoi Kurenai]

Well...damn.

So the US is out now, Ghana will face Brazil next and I hope they can beat them.

Whoo. I missed that game. I'll have to catch up on the highlights. So US went down to Ghana, and I'm assuming Italy beat Czech?

Right on both. Ghana was doing a great job, taking advantage of the holes in the US defense, doing the best that they have with their players, I wouldn't be surprised if Ghana takes out Brazil.

That would be nice if Brazil were taken out. Brazil and Ghana is a wall other teams have to break. Hmm...too bad US.
