World Cup

[Wahalla]

Oh dear Spain getting their butts kicked by Chile down 0-2

Hell of a game... They just cant put it into the net.... the first goal was amazing a strike passing the ball from a possible scoring postion rather than going for goal.... and a defensive mid feilder two touch to ensure that it went in.... Chile plays like almost 7 years old... they swarm the ball, while keeping the back 5 in shape.......they are beyond fit.... This swaming counteracts the Spanish passing game....

Brilliant world cup!!!!! drama.....ball upsets !!!!!

I fancy Netherlands... Cant see Brazil winning...

England tonight...I loved how england played... first time i enjoyed a England match... but think they will revert to norm of not wanting to lose...

Great summary Wahalla, Chile is playing some great ball too. I'm having the time of my life, the suspense loving it

I am in the office pool so now I am watching with a vested interest and a competitive nature! Its a lot of fun, the next WC we can have the ja.com pool for bragging rights.

[MsExced]

Good idea seemiyah, you guys doing the point system

[seemiyah]

they are using this free site http://www.predicttheworldcup.com/ that you can use to create leagues in and it has rules on the points, so you get a point for the winner obviously, but you get extra points if you predict the exact score or if you pick the wins by a larger margin etc. so it makes it more interesting. Right now I am 8th out of 20 in the pool so I am inching up!

[MsExced]

Okay cool, hope you win big bucks and share some with me

[Wahalla]

I get bragging rights at work....I Predicted uraguay 2 England 1.....at lunch.....

Not a fan of the guy he called a black player the Spanish equivalent of the n word....

Well England have to pray Costa Rica lose go they can have another chance

[Wahalla]

my opnion is : if Costa Rica Play like they did against Uruguay against Italy they will lose... Italy have an ability to win matches they should lose, Batollii (The Ghanian, Jewish Italian below will impose himself on the center half's see below.. the boy man like Bolt) ...If Costa Rica play like they did against Uruguay against England they will beat England...their strike Campbell has an ability to hit the ball hard from outside the six yard box...The problem for Costa Rica is they play Italy first...

the difference between England and Uruguay was Suarez...I think he has the postional awareness of a central defender, ... with a strikers predatory instincts.there was a couple corners that he took surprised me.Hecurved them low to the near post because there was no england defender between him and the goal keeper as he came to take the kick.. twice he had the England keeper scrambling.... still don't like him... or Gerard...



But England defended sporadic...I would give the England Manager Hogson kudos he played to his strengths.. Even though he worked in South Africa under apartheid....

I would want to see the Switzerland France match.... Will be on a plane at that time...

I am in meetings all day with Italians and the supporters dont take costa rica as minnows.. .they expect it to be a tough game.. but htey have confidence in their defence....

[MsExced]

Yea England defense is week, they need improvement greatly in that area

[Wahalla]

Yeah I wanted Iran to win...they played a hell of a game the difference was Messi....

Watching Ghana Germany.. They are doing well...the Boateng Boateng brothers on opposing teams must be interesting.....

Initially Ghana couldn't compete a pass...

I am a Ozil fan....Don't understand why he went to Arsenal....
