Ballack out of opener

From the beeb's site:

That'll be a lot of quick Dream Team changes then.

Germany to win the opening game, even with Ballack out i think theres enough quality to get them through this important game, they'll prolly go hard early and i think they'll be 2 or 3 up by halftime.

Some weird swerve on that opening goal...

Hehe, equaliser lovely.

Wanchope = legend

Germany are *****.
Always have been ... boring, defensive ***** football.


Honestly don't care what people say about that comment .... but to today/tongihts match ..... most attacking German team i've seen. Hence, I think they are decent. (Awseome goal to begin the world cup!!!!)

Irrespective of that, germany are crud. All teams in group A are crud, .... Wanchope to get Costa Rica through

Germany, Costa Rica, Poland, Ecuador.

3-1

I was wondering what on Earth I was watching in the first half, no diving at all.

Germans making up for it in the second half, rolling around like fairies whenever they get the slightest knock. Back to extreme loathing for them.

3-2 now...

3-2.

Costa Rica are cool.

Any team that apparently has a trio of 'shaven head' players is cool in my book.

Lol, never cease to amaze Scaly.

Looks like 4-2 will be the final score. Was a pretty entertaining match to watch whilst doing some late-night study.

Hey if I can't be slightly racist during a World Cup then what is this World coming to?

Anyways I think in a few years time they're going to be using helium filled footballs that weigh a few grams and then float off into the atmosphere when the space-age plasticky outer skin wears off.

I really hope you aren't seriously thinking that ...
