World Cup - Page 3 - Aircraft of World War II

I will take my camara on Wed. when I back downtown to watch the Germany - Poland game. It is a lot of fun and the people are just going insane. The whole country right now is in complete Pride Fever or whatever I dont know what to call it. The people are in great spirits (thats right Udet, not depressed like you think they all are).

I would love to go to Nurnberg today (I wont though for obvious reasons) to party out at the Mexico/Iran game that is playing there in a coule of hours. The President from Iran is flying in for the game and the Germans are staging a large protest outside of the stadium (that is the obvious reason why I will not go). Our town of Ansbach right now is filled with Mexicans staying in our hotels waiting for the games tonight.

The whole country right now is one big World Cup Party. It really is something to see. You can not go anywere without seeing Black, Red, And Gold flags flight from every window, every car, every hand. Man it is awesome out here.

Back to games though: England beat Paraguay 1-0 only because the Paraguay Captain headed a goal into is own net. England played very well and strong in the first half, completely dominating Paraguay. In the second half however they were outplayed by Paraguay.

Ecuador beat Poland 2-0 which was no surprise to me and in a real shocker Trinidad and Tobago tied Sweded 0-0. Right now Netherlands is playing Serbia-Montenegro and they are still scoreless 0-0.

I watched the England game and I have to say from my observations that Beckam is waaaayyyy overrated.... He did contribute to the one goal scored, but he was manhandled the whole game, couldnt outrun anyone covering him, and turned the ball over more times than I copld count....

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 06-11-2006, 08:59 AM

Beckham normally plays better than he did. The funny thing is though, that the goal that he contributed on, he actually passed it to the Captian of the Paraguay team and that guy actually headed the ball in the net. If they keep playing as they are right now, I dont expect them to get to far in the tournament.

Typical England performance. They started quite strong, then they sat back(allowing pressure to be put on them). In the second half England fell to bits and they were very lucky not to loose, Paraguay could have scored several times. England may win thier group but will be knocked out strait after.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 06-11-2006, 09:24 AM

They will win there group only because it is a weak group.

lesofprimus · 06-11-2006, 09:25 AM

So far the Germans have put the best foot foward so to speak...

GermansRGeniuses · 06-11-2006, 02:11 PM

Go Brasil go.

We'll see how they do on Tuesday.

For me too

lesofprimus · 06-11-2006, 02:25 PM

Im interested to see how the USA is gonna do againts the Czechs....

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 06-11-2006, 05:09 PM

That will be a tough game. The Czech have a very very good team. One of the best in the world.

In other news:

Mexico beat Iran 3-1
Portugal beat Angola 1-0

plan_D · 06-12-2006, 01:41 PM

The England game was a farce, England are going nowhere. And you're right, Dan, Beckham is a wash-out. He always has been, he can't even take a penalty and aim to get the ball between the posts.

The best goal of the tournament so far has definately been that 32 yard smash from Germany.

Gnomey · 06-12-2006, 01:41 PM

3-0 to the Czechs, the US were never really in it. In the other game the Aussies beat the Japanese 3-1 (all 3 goals in the last 6 mins).

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 06-12-2006, 04:03 PM

Yeap the US is not going to get out of there division, especially since they still have to play Italy.

In other games Italy beat Ghana 2-0 as well.

syscom3 · 06-12-2006, 04:06 PM

Maybe (just maybe) the US team will lull the Italians into a false sense of security and we will beat them.

Funny thing at work today was no one cared about the game, and all the sports fans were only talking about Mexico's victory over Iran.

Erich · 06-12-2006, 04:10 PM

time for the US to go home .......... they have no pride right now . Better they go to a good Bierhaus and soak up the atmosphere cause it's all over for them

go Deutschland !
