Fifa Germany 2006 - world cup thread

Zizou!!!!clap 💃

Great play acting by Henry...hehe. Boy we sure have seen some good performances by some supposed class players in this cup.

Nevertheless, France took advantage and executed their chances and deserved to win. I don't think Spain was honestly expecting to win with just a penalty. If that's all they could muster to day then they deserved to lose. Good for France, good for Zizou and good for Henry. He got the last laugh against that racist spanish coach. Now we have a repeat of the '98 finals....hooowoooo!!!!

Btw, Adriano was offside twice on that 2nd goal by Brazil but no matter, Ghana couldn't complete any of their chances. They played with a lot of courage and heart tho, just came up short on their finishing.

Hmm...let's see how many predicted Spain to win?

Amazing game by France, it just keeps getting better and better. The 98 World Cup Rematch between Brazil and France in the quarter finals, now that should also be one amazing game.

Wow, looks like the old guy still has some tricks up his sleeve! 😛

They also had an offside decision that wasn't offside, so it evened out.

Not I.

I said 3-0 Brazil, and 2-1 France, as AC or Bardock can testify.

i think i predicted penaltys lol.

that could've been like 7 - 0 brazil if they would've capitalized on those chances at the end, they had 4 or 5 really good ones. then again, if ghana would've finished better the entire game it could've been 3 - 3 so...

😆 That was ridiculous man, you could see what he was trying to do in the replay. When i first saw it i thought it was a foul to, but another angle clearly shows Henry running into Puyol on purpose. The clutching at his face was pure improvisation by Henry, acting at its best.

Yes, it does. The man isn't a genius, he thrives on service, he's nothing without it and the game against the Swiss proved it. That's like calling Owen a genius, although you probably would.

Second, that shouldn't have even been a penalty.

-AC

He's a genius!!!! You're not gonna change my mind, so don't even try, stop with the pathetic attempts to always be right and admit being wrong for once in your miserable life!!!!

Woo-hoo, Shevvy baby!!!!

Best striker in the world bar none!!!

Hahaha, too funny. "You're not going to change my opinion, so admit you are wrong.".

Followed by "Shevvy baby!!!!". You're too buried in him.

-AC

I did that to piss you off, the Shevvy baby part

I have decided instead of listening to your stupid, pointless drivul

That i'm just gonna ignore you and force my opinions on you, the way you always do

Whatever you say is your opinion and if someone else doesn't agree with it, it doesn't mean they're idiots or wrong

Just grow up and show a bit of maturity, and accept that people have different opinions to you

Haha "Show some maturity", after a comment like "I did that to piss you off.". Not exactly the wisest of choice comments.

Oh, so you actually believe he's the best striker in the world bar none? Are you the same guy who said "I'm knowledgeable and know my shit."? I guess if you don't say it, who will? I pity you, I laugh at your naivity, but I accept that you think he's a genius, you just don't accept that I don't agree. It's as simple as that.

If I'm speaking purely from opinion, then I don't act like it's fact. You're calling Shevchenko a genius, off the back of what? Seeing as we're having a discussion, what makes him a genius? I want to see if you've looked further than just screaming things out.

5-10 reasons why Shevchenko is a genius. Go.

-AC

I do know my shit, and I don't believe I have to explain myself to you

I have seen enough of Shevchenko to know he is the world's best in terms of strikers

I wouldn't expect you to agree, because you still think fatty is the best striker in the world

1)207 appearances for Ac Milan with 127 goals...
2)31 goals for Ukraine from 60-odd appearances...
3)Champions League highest ever goalscorer
4)2004 European player of the year
5)Listed in FIFA100 by Pele
6)Serie A top scorer 1999-2000 and 2003-04

there's 6... not that he's a genius, but he's undeniably good

What he said

Anyway, what do you guys predict for the Quarter-Finals??

Just a reminder, the matches are as follows:

Argentina vs. Germany
Brazil vs. France
England vs. Portugal
Ukraine vs. Italy

What do you think the outcomes of these matches will be??

What he said

He didn't prove, nor give reason to believe, that he's a genius and admitted as such. So it remains, give me 5-10 reasons why he's a "genius". Bearing in mind "genius" also applies to Pele, Maradona, Van Basten etc. Df02 proved that he is, or has been, a prolific goal scorer. This wasn't contested by me, what was called into question, however, was your claims of him being a genius and the best striker in the world bar none.

These are idiotic claims, and you can't back them to save your life.

You do, infact. If you choose to make claims, then back them up or don't expect people to believe you know your shit. You know nothing.

I'm waiting for any kind of reasoning as to why he's a genius.

You're the guy lecturing me on immaturity and yet you continue to call Ronaldo, a man no "fatter" than Wayne Rooney, "fatty"? Where are Rooney's World Cup records? Wait...where are Rooney's World Cup goals?

Second, I don't think he's the best in the world. You're a complete moron who convinces himself that he knows a lot, you can't back it up, hence this post.

This post smells......of BULLSHIT!!!!

You never cease to prove even further that you're an idiot

Keep ranting on and on, I find it so amusing

Oh and I changed the subject, roll with the times you idiot

And Rooney as fat as Ronaldo?? Gimme a frickin' break you moronic fool!!!

As for the games, Argentina or Germany will get Italy or Ukraine and I think Argentina or Germany can beat either of thos. So my money is on Argentina or Germany to be in the final.

I want Ukraine to win, but it could go either way. Similarly with Argentina and Germany, I haven't got a preferred winner, I like both.

Brazil Vs France I feel has the potential to be a brilliant game, but I'm not sure. I naturally want Brazil to win, though.

Portugal can beat England, have beaten England. I think this will be England's first time facing a team who can spank them at every mistake, but it's also a team who can fail to take that opportunity.

Everyone seeing this or just me?

"I know my shit you fool! THIS IS BULLSHIT!", "Back it up then.", "Nah...".

rooney is naturally that weight. ronaldo has put on a few pounds.

not many people can be called a genius, i dont think shevchenko is one, nor do i think pele is one either. maradona or ronaldinho are two genius's imo.

shevchenko is indeed world class though
