Well I saw France play for a long time and I can say that this year, they won't win except if they show more against South Korea and Togo...But I'm pessimistic. After it's Spain or Ukraine (or Tunisia) XD

And Argentina is sooo... <3 :P

Argentina vs Serbia Montenegro 6 - 0

Goals:
18. RODRIGUEZ Maxi (6')
5. CAMBIASSO Esteban (31')
18. RODRIGUEZ Maxi (41')
9. CRESPO Hernan (78')
11. TEVEZ Carlos (84')
19. MESSI Lionel (88')

Argentina gave a fearsome show of attacking strength as they swept aside Group C rivals Serbia and Montenegro 6-0 in Gelsenkirchen on Friday, 16 June 2006.

Jose Pekerman's team equalled their record FIFA World Cup™ win against Peru from 1978 against opponents they had, coincidentally, dismantled by the same score at the 2004 Olympic Football Tournament. More importantly, the victory took them a big step closer to the second round, while leaving Serbia and Montenegro’s hopes hanging by a thread.

The flow of goals began in the sixth minute with Maxi Rodriguez and after Esteban Cambiasso had doubled the lead in the 31st minute, Rodriguez struck again to make it 3-0 ten minutes later. There was no respite for Serbia and Montenegro after the break as, following the dismissal of Mateja Kezman, Hernan Crespo hit Argentina's fourth in the 78th minute. Substitutes Carlos Tevez (84') and Lionel Messi (88') completed the scoring in the final ten minutes.


Holland vs Ivory Coast 2 - 1

Goals:
17. VAN PERSIE Robin (23')(HOL)
9. VAN NISTELROOIJ Ruud (27')(HOL)
14. KONE Bakary (38')(COT)

The Netherlands booked their place in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup™ as goals from Robin van Persie and Ruud van Nistelrooij earned a hard-fought 2-1 win over Côte d'Ivoire in Stuttgart on Friday, 16 June 2006.

Their second win in Group C means the Dutch advanced with a game to spare, along with Argentina who also have six points after beating Serbia and Montenegro 6-0 earlier in the day. Côte d'Ivoire, like the Serbo-Montenegrins, can go no further in this tournament but they certainly pushed the Dutch all the way.

After Van Persie's 23rd-minute free-kick opener, Van Nistelrooij doubled the Dutch lead four minutes later but the Ivorians hit back through a spectacular Bakary Kone effort and threatened an equaliser on more than one occasion.


Mexico vs Angola 0 - 0

A brave performance from ten-man Angola saw them hold Mexico to a goalless draw in their Group D meeting in Hanover on Friday, 16 June 2006.

Angola, who lie 53 places below El Tri in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, frustrated the Mexicans due to a combination of some resolute defending and some superb goalkeeping from Joao Ricardo.

The Palancas Negras' task was made even harder when they had Andre sent off in the 79th minute, but the African side held firm to register their first ever point in the FIFA World Cup™ finals.




England won't be afraid even if they have to meet Argentina. Argentina was beaten by England on World Cup 2002. Yeah, I just remembered. With history and drama filling the dome in Sapporo, Japan, in World Cup 2002, England threw Group F into chaos with a 0-1 victory over old enemies Argentina. David Beckham scored the only goal of the hard-fought match from the penalty spot and kicked out Argentina from the WC2002. This was belief that Argentina had a big trauma against England.

BUT, they have to play better than the first 2 matches like when they made a history defeated Germany 6 - 1 on friendly match years ago. England is NOT only that. They have more! ;)

But you must remember that Argentina won in 1998 against England even if Owen scored a wonderful goal, Batigol was here :biggrin

And Argentina in 2002 is totally different from Argentina of 2006 :punch You can see that everyone can score and when we have on the bench players like Cambiasso, Aimar, Messi, Tevez, Milito,... :toast

Mwahahahaha :evil :P

Sorry Fanny I had a bug after Cambiasso's wonderful goal :huhuhu

And Lucho Gonzalez has nothing dangerous, he would play against Netherlands :horny

The ref and one of the linesmen got it all wrong throughout the match. Noticed some offside decisions were very very debatable. And of cos pablo mastroeni's red card. Watched it on abc sports and the commentators were really angry with the referee. Even the zambrotta yellow was debatable.

the 1st red card on US seemed like the referee was trying to match the numbers up
the 2nd one should have been a yellow since it was a push...

anyways, Japan and Croatia 0-0
Japan will play Brazil on the 22nd
I don't think Japan will go to the next round =/

YUI Lover & Knight!

France vs Korea Republic 1 - 1

Goals:
12. HENRY Thierry (9')
7. PARK Ji Sung (81')

Summary:
Korea Republic fought back to earn a 1-1 draw with France as Park Ji-Sung cancelled out Thierry Henry's first-half opener in Leipzig on Sunday, 18 June 2006.

The point salvaged here put the Koreans top of Group G, at least until the end of Monday's match between Togo and Switzerland in Dortmund. The evening began promisingly for Les Bleus when Thierry Henry scored their first FIFA World Cup™ goal since the 1998 Final with nine minutes on the clock.

However, Korea Republic drew level when Park bundled the ball over the line in the 81st minute. To compound France's disappointment, Eric Abidal and Zinedine Zidane both collected bookings which rule them out of their final group game against Togo.


Brazil vs Australia 2 - 0

Goals:
7. ADRIANO (49')
21. FRED (90')

Summary:
Brazil booked their place in the Round of 16 after overcoming a tough challenge from Australia with a 2-0 win in Munich on Sunday, 18 June 2006.

The FIFA World Cup™ holders took the lead four minutes into the second half through Adriano but they had to survive one or two nervy moments before substitute Fred sealed the victory with a tap-in in the 90th minute. Brazil's second Group F win secured their advance to the second round with a game to spare, while Australia are well poised to join them, holding a two-point advantage of Japan and their next opponents Croatia.


Japan vs Croatia 0 - 0

Summary:
It was a story of frustration for Japan and Croatia as they played out a goalless draw in Nuremberg on Sunday, 18 June 2006.

The pivotal moment of the match came in the 22nd minute when Japan goalkeeper Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi saved Darijo Srna's penalty, although Croatia were also breathing a sigh of relief when Atsushi Yanagisawa missed when it seemed easier to score early in the second half.

The result left Japan rooted to the foot of Group F with one point and Croatia ahead only on goal difference in third place. It will hardly help the mood in either camp that both teams will be without key players for their third matches after Japan captain Tsuneyasu Miyamoto and Croatia's Robert Kovac collected their second yellow cards of the tournament.

Korea was not just lucky. But they also did well in pressing France line, especially in the 2nd half. You have to admit that tha Korea played a lot better than France. Their fighting spirit deserve the goal. Blame Barthez and Gallas for the 2nd goal. :P Seoul Kihyeon was the one who put France into danger with his crossing then Ahn Junghwan headed the ball into the middle penalty box than suddenly Park Jisung's striked. Interesting, the goal scorers that time were ManUtd's Park Jisunga and Arseenal's Henry. It seems both club rivalry reached World Cup level. :)

Forty years too long for England
The first nation of football and the global distributor of the game, England are long on passion but short on actual prizes with their 1966 FIFA World Cup™ success on home soil still their only major tournament triumph.

Summer 2006 will mark the passing of four decades since Bobby Moore lifted the Jules Rimet trophy but England will travel to Germany among the favourites despite a qualifying campaign that, while largely comfortable, did provide a bump or two towards the end. After opening with a 2-2 draw in Austria, Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side won six games in succession before suffering an embarrassing 1-0 loss to Northern Ireland on 7 September 2005.

Add a 4-1 friendly defeat in Denmark a month earlier and England’s credentials were suddenly open to question yet Eriksson’s team responded with home victories over Austria and Poland that secured them first place in Group 6 with a record of eight victories and just one defeat in ten matches.

England have made eleven previous FIFA World Cup™ finals appearances, starting with their debut at Brazil 1950. Since the glory of 1966, however, the furthest they have travelled in the competition was to the semi-finals in 1990, where they lost on penalties to West Germany. Four years ago in Korea/Japan, they were losing quarter-finalists for the fifth time, going down 2-1 to Brazil having taken the lead through a Michael Owen goal.

Two years later they fell at the same hurdle at the UEFA European Championship in Portugal, beaten on penalties by the hosts, but found some consolation in the explosive form of the then 18-year-old Wayne Rooney. Now 20, this prodigiously gifted forward is already established as the player the national team look to for inspiration.

Rooney is not the only world-class talent in a side that also boasts striker Owen and the midfield trio of David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. In defence too England are strong with John Terry emerging as a genuine contender for a central role alongside Rio Ferdinand or Sol Campbell.

Swedish coach Eriksson has been in charge since 2000 and has not enjoyed a finer hour than England’s 5-1 win in Germany in a FIFA World Cup qualifier in September 2001. The question is whether he can rekindle that magic when they return there next summer.

I'm surprised that I haven't participated in this thread earlier, but I'm rooting for Korea all the way ^_^ ! The first half of their last game was just so frustrating because I was so worried that they'd lose XD . As for now, I'm only hoping for them to get to the top 4.

What bites though is that the channels that I'm watching the games on aren't showing all of Korea's games, they tend to keep the slots for the games that have European teams. I haven't even been able to see any of Japan's games, which is the second team I'm supporting, I only get recaps on the news :( .

Anyways, I'm not really supporting England, but they do have nice jerseys :thumbsup: . I like the cross in front of the shoulder :lol: .

Arab Saudi vs Ukraine 0 - 4

Goals:
6. RUSOL Andriy (4')
11. REBROV Serhiy (36')
7. SHEVCHENKO Andriy (46')
19. KALINICHENKO Maksym (84')

Summary:
Ukraine made amends for their disappointing start to Group H when they defeated Saudi Arabia 4-0 in Hamburg on Monday, 19 June 2006.

Oleg Blokhin’s side, who had suffered defeat by the same scoreline to Spain in their opening match, look desperate to make amends in this match and began in the best possible manner.

Andriy Rusol fired Ukraine ahead in the fourth minute, while a Serhiy Rebrov wonder strike double their advantage on 36. Andriy Shevchenko headed a third just seconds after the restart, while Budweiser Man of the Match Maksym Kalinichenko got the goal his performance deserved six minutes from time.


Spain vs Tunisia 3 - 1

Goals:
12. MNARI Jaouhar (8')(TUN)
7. RAUL (71')(ESP)
9. TORRES Fernando (76')(ESP)
9. TORRES Fernando (91+' PEN)(ESP)

Summary:
A second-half turnaround saw Spain come from behind to register a 3-1 over Tunisia in Stuttgart and consequently book their place in the Round of 16.

The African team got off to a great start when Jaouhar Mnari opened the scoring in the eighth minute. Roger Lemerre’s side held the lead until half-time when his counterpart Luis Aragones made a bold double substitution.

Luis Garcia and Marcos Senna were replaced by Raul and Cesc Fabregas and the pair were extremely influential in Spain’s equalising goal. With 71 minutes gone, Fabregas’ shot was parried by Ali Boumnijel and into the path of Raul who gratefully slotted the ball home.

A brace from Fernando Torres, taking his tally in the tournament to three, gave Spain the victory. It leaves them on top of Group H, three points clear of their nearest challengers Ukraine and five points clear of Saudi Arabia and Tunisia.


Togo vs Switzerland 0 - 2

Goals:
9. FREI Alexander (16')
16. BARNETTA Tranquillo (88')

Summary:
Switzerland surged to top of Group G with a convincing 2-0 win over Togo in Dortmund on Monday, 19 June which leaves the Helvetians leading the section on goal difference.

Victory was secured by goals from Alexander Frei and Tranquillo Barnetta in the 16th and 88th minute respectively, the second of which took Kobi Kuhn's side clear of Korea Republic by a single goal. All the Swiss now need is a point against Dick Advocaat's Taeguk Warriors to guarantee their place in the last 16.

Togo, though impressive in flashes, could have few complaints at surrendering all three points, and Otto Pfister's side remain without a point and anchored to the bottom of a group in which Switzerland and Korea both lead on four points from France, who have two.

England failed to score a victory. Gotcha Aditz :P They played well though..At least in the first half when I watched them (I was so sleepy at the second half that I decided to sleep >_<)

They dominated the game and Joe Cole played brilliantly, he was really the man to fear at the defense line. And his goal was fantastic too..I dunno how Sweden managed to equalize twice since I dun watch it..However it doesn't matter to England..they keep the first position in the group...Congratz!

The problem with Ribery is that he can't stand a full game with France. Against Switzerland, he couldn't play all the game. ^^'

But against Togo, Domenech will put Henry-Trezeguet as forwards and Ribery-Malouda as offensive midfielders. Malouda is better than Ribery I think but Ribery can become the Malouda on the right side :P


The worst with Walcott is that Eriksson doesn't want to let him play XD

I think Sweden's 2nd goal is a luck. Stupid Campbell not clearing the ball well. There's "something" between England and Sweden that England could never beat them since 1968. That "something" is called myth! And someday hopefully England could defeat the myth.


As for the latest update:


Ecuador vs Germany 0 - 3

Goals:
11. KLOSE Miroslav (4')
11. KLOSE Miroslav (44')
20. PODOLSKI Lukas (57')

Summary:
Germany sealed top spot in Group A in impressive style, with a Miroslav Klose brace and Lukas Podolski's first goal of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ sealing an emphatic 3-0 win over Ecuador.

Both these sides had already qualified for the Round of 16 prior to this match, but it is Jurgen Klinsmann's side who will march on to the next phase in more confident mood after a performance that simply oozed self-assurance.

The sell-out crowd of 72,000 at Berlin's Olympiastadion were certainly treated to a terrific showing from their side, for whom Klose - now tournament top scorer - was particularly impressive up front.

Ecuador, meanwhile, opted to rest a number of the players who had helped secure victories over Poland and Costa Rica in the South Americans' previous two matches, and did not look as potent without the likes of key striker Agustin Delgado.

Germany will now face the second-placed side from Group B in Munich on 24 June, while Ecuador will go head-to-head against the winner of that section in Stuttgart the following day.


Costa Rica vs Poland 1- 2

Goals:
11. GOMEZ Ronald (25')(CRC)
19. BOSACKI Bartosz (33')(POL)
19. BOSACKI Bartosz (66')(POL)

Summary:
Poland rescued some pride with a 2-1 victory over Costa Rica as both sides said goodbye to the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Hannover on Tuesday, 20 June 2006.

With both sides already eliminated after two defeats, they went into this Group A match aiming to end on a high at least, and it was Costa Rica who started the better as they took a 25th-minute lead through Ronald Gomez's free-kick. However, Batosz Bosacki drew the Poles level eight minutes later and same player headed the winning goal in the 66th minute.

Poland's victory means they finish third in Group A with one win and two defeats - the same record as four years ago in Korea/Japan. With three defeats, bottom-placed Costa Rica are left to dwell on their poorest return in three FIFA World Cups.


Paraguay vs Trinidad Tobago 2 - 0

Goals:
23. CUEVAS Nelson (86')
5. SANCHO Brent (25' OG)

Summary:
Paraguay’s disappointing FIFA World Cup™ campaign finished on a high note as they beat Trinidad and Tobago 2-0 in Kaiserslautern's Fritz-Walter-Stadion on Tuesday, 20 June 2006.

The Soca Warriors, meanwhile, depart Germany without a win or goal to their name, and yet the pride of Leo Beenhakker’s team remains firmly intact, with this gallant defeat typical of their energetic, courageous performances throughout their debut tournament.

Much of this match was, in fact, dominated by a T&T side who fell behind to the most unfortunate of opening goals, headed past his own, helpless goalkeeper by Brent Sancho in the 25th minute.

The second half provided entertaining and competitive fare, and saw Paraguay weather a sustained Soca storm before securing their only points of the tournament with a coolly-taken 86th-minute strike from Nelson Cuevas.


Sweden vs England 2 - 2

Goals:
11. COLE Joe (34')(ENG)
20. ALLBACK Marcus (51')(SWE)
4. GERRARD Steven (85')(ENG)
11. LARSSON Henrik (90')(SWE)

Summary:
England and Sweden drew 2-2 in Cologne on Tuesday, 20 June 2006 - a result that sends both teams through to the Round of 16 from Group B.

England's prize for topping the section is to play Ecuador in Stuttgart on 25 June, while Sweden must take on hosts Germany in Munich 24 hours earlier. Sven-Goran Eriksson's team had already secured qualification before this match and they were only denied a third successive win by a 90th-minute Henrik Larsson goal.

England had gone in front on 34 minutes through a spectacular strike from Joe Cole. Marcus Allback headed the Swedes level at 1-1 six minutes into the second half but substitute Steven Gerrard restored England's advantage when he headed in their second on 81 minutes.


Iran vs Angola 1 - 1

Goals:
16. FLAVIO (60')(ANG)
3. BAKHTIARIZADEH Sohrab (75')(IRN)

Summary:
Iran ended Angola's slim hopes of qualifying from Group D, as they held the African side to a 1-1 draw in Leipzig on Wednesday, 21 June 2006.

Angola scored their first-ever goal at a FIFA World Cup™ finals when Flavio headed home Ze Kalanga's cross on the hour mark. However, their hopes of catching Mexico on goal difference were ended when Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh rose unmarked to convert Mehdi Mahdavikia's corner 15 minutes from time.

The result left Angola in third place behind Portugal and Mexico with two points, while Iran propped up the table with this, their solitary point of the tournament.


Portugal vs Mexico 2 - 1

Goals:
18. MANICHE (6')(POR)
11. SIMAO SABROSA (24' PEN)(POR)
17. FONSECA Jose (29')(MEX)

Summary:
Portugal made it three wins out of three in Group D as they defeated Mexico 2-1 in Gelsenkirchen through goals from Maniche and Simao Sabrosa on Wednesday, 21 June 2006.

While Portugal advanced as group winners to face the second-placed team in Group C - either Argentina or the Netherlands - in a Round of 16 tie in Nuremberg on Sunday, Mexico joined them in the knockout stage after finishing second with four points. El Tri will take on the Group C winners on Saturday in Leipzig.

The Mexicans trailed 2-0 inside 24 minutes in Gelsenkirchen after Maniche shot Portugal into a sixth-minute lead and Simao Sabrosa doubled the advantage from the penalty spot. Jose Fonseca made it 2-1 in the 29th minute but Omar Bravo's missed spot-kick in the second half ensured a defeat for Ricardo La Volpe's team. Mexico also suffered the loss of Luis Perez to a red card, which means he will miss the Round of 16 match through suspension.
