I'm not really a football guy, mostly because Denmark hasn't had a proper national team since 1992!

I still remeber the finals [;)][:(]




Terminus -> RE: 2006 World Soccer Championships in Germany (6/9/2006 4:52:48 PM)

That was such a cool tournament... I visited Berlin three years later, and people still remembered it...




W Thorne -> RE: 2006 World Soccer Championships in Germany (6/9/2006 4:56:31 PM)

Keep an eye on Brian Ching for the US, number 11. Plays on the Houston Dynamo in the MLS and was the leading MLS scorer until he left for the Championships in Germany.

Generaly the US team is not bad at all. That's why you guys should support it much more. You got a kickass keeper too. Hmm, I wonder why his name sounds so german [;)]

Yeah, well... That was also a very large part of why they won... Nobody expected them to be any good, and by the time people woke up, it was the final...




Speedysteve -> RE: 2006 World Soccer Championships in Germany (6/9/2006 5:31:19 PM)

Kasey Keller is from my town. Unfortunately, he rarely gets to come home anymore...




Trigger Happy -> RE: 2006 World Soccer Championships in Germany (6/9/2006 9:10:34 PM)

my bet is on France :)




Terminus -> RE: 2006 World Soccer Championships in Germany (6/9/2006 9:42:21 PM)

The opener was a pretty good match to start the tournament on.




Speedysteve -> RE: 2006 World Soccer Championships in Germany (6/9/2006 9:44:14 PM)

Decent match with 2 stunning goals.....




Neilster -> RE: 2006 World Soccer Championships in Germany (6/10/2006 7:58:20 AM)

And finally Australia qualified! After being shafted by FIFA for years it was SWEEEEET to beat those cheatin' Uruguayans and get into the World Cup. How I enjoyed the distress that caused, especially after Recoba asserted that they had "a divine right" to qualify. HA! Their deity must have been having the day off.

Having Brazil in our group doesn't exactly help matters though [:@]. Costa Rica would have been handy. No-one expects us to get anywhere which is exactly as we like it [:'(]. It's fun to be part of it anyway.

Watch out for Harry Kewell, "The V-bomber" Mark Viduka, Marco Bresciano and Tim Cahill.

Cheers, Neilster

Jeezz, the last shot from Thorsten Frings was a marvellous shot. Erik Cantona style [;)]

Neilster -> RE: 2006 World Soccer Championships in Germany (6/10/2006 4:19:22 PM)

And notice the non-spinning ball wobbled all over the place? The aerodynamics of this ball are supposed to enhance dip/swerve on the spinning shots as well.

Cheers, Neilster

What Americans call football, because they have another game called Football (with rather less justification!)

As far as I know, the World Cup has never been called the "Soccer World Championships" by FIFA.




Fred98 -> RE: 2006 World Soccer Championships in Germany (6/11/2006 3:22:13 AM)

To some, footbal is so important, It could come under Religion and Politics.

Off to Mad Cow's please!

Terminus -> RE: 2006 World Soccer Championships in Germany (6/11/2006 4:59:54 PM)

Let's just hope some of the more extremist "fans" on both sides don't live down to their reputations...




W Thorne -> RE: 2006 World Soccer Championships in Germany (6/11/2006 6:43:57 PM)

Found over on the Battlefront General Forum. Thought it might be good for a laugh.



It is just before Scotland v Brazil at the next World Cup Group game.

Ronaldino goes into the Brazilian changing room to find all his team-mates looking a bit glum.

"What's up?" he asks.

"Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only Scotland and we can't be bothered".

Ronaldino looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub."

So Ronaldino goes out to play Scotland by himself and the rest of the Brazilian team go off for a few jars.

After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "Brazil 1 - Scotland 0 (Ronaldino 10 minutes)". He is beating Scotland all by himself!

Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext on. "Result from the Stadium "Brazil 1 (Ronaldino 10 minutes) - Scotland 1 (Angus 89 minutes)".

They can't believe it, he has single handedly got a draw against Scotland!!

They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate Ronaldino. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down."

"Don't be daft, you got a draw against Scotland, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very, very end!"

"No, No, I have, I've let you down... I got sent off after 12 minutes"/
