Hi,
I later learned that there had been 4 red cards, and 8 yellows. :ph34r: Er...what was that, two grand soccer nations competing in a world cup, or two teenager teams playing in a local rugby tournament? :wacko:
At least I'm having high hopes for Germany now, having seen how many problems Argentina had against Mexico. Maybe we can beat them after all. :D

Quote:It was in the end probably not such a good idea to hire Marco van Basten as headcoach......I'm not that well informed about the discussion about soccer in the Netherlands, but didn't van Basten said from the get go that his goal was to form a successful team for the European championships 2008? I think he never claimed to have a lot of success in the world cup 2006, as his team is very young, and somewhat inexperienced. Personally, I think the team has a lot of potential, and I hope van Basten can continue his work. It's very similar to our German situation, only that the world cup happens to be in our country, which helps quite a bit. :blush:
Quote:What a match....two things are for sure..the referee led his last match on this tournament.....Portugal will not continue to the semifinals because most of their players are suspended for next game.Unfortunately I missed most of it, I only saw one kung-fu kick from a Portuguese player (against Robben, I think) and wondered why that didn't result in a penalty.
