Round 16 and Beyond

[alternative]

If we merge, can you make sure Pauline Hanson never sets foot in New Zealand? And no, we won't take back Derryn Hinch.

We can always send Pauline Hanson to England...

Getting a headache just reading this thread.

Instead of the 6 pages I just waded through I will summarize

Some England fans are happy Aus were knocked out- I get it
Some Aussies and strangely some Kiwis take exception- I get it
Certain comments were made- I get it
They were responded to- I get it
Discussion desends and people on both sides act like nasty venomous children- I get it

Reading peoples attitudes here it would make sence for me to regret supporting Australia last night, but you know what I dont. People just need to chill.

BTW, It was never a penalty

It would be fitting if Italy and Argentina meet in the semi final with the amount of Argentines who play in Serie A, and one who was born in Argentina but plays for Italy, the amount of Argentines in the team who have Italian hertiage (Burdisso, Scaloni, Mascherano, Abbonzeri, Franco, Cambiasso etc.).

yep i'd definately love to see that semi-final along with England vs Brazil.

 

[GIMH]

Argies will relish the prospect of an Eng-Bra final, as they hate both nations, what an incentive

 

[Pedro Delgado]

Please let Henry score tonight, just to see the look on Aragones' face.

Allez Les Bleus

 

[Jono]

Ronaldo!

Ghana have gone all out! Its just counter-attack to counter-attack. Awesome to watch.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

What a match, beautiful to watch so far. Refreshing after that Switzerland v Ukraine snore fest.

 

[Jono]

Wow, Ghana really should have scored there.

 

[GIMH]

I would have friggin work to do when a classic is in motion. Finished it now though, so might sneak off to the break area for the second half

 

[Jono]

That's gotta be one of the flukiest saves I'vve ever seen.

 

[Jono]

2-0!

What a counter-attack from Brazil. That was beautiful (offside though).

I had money for "next goal Brazil" so I'm reasonably happy, but I feel sorry for Ghana, they really should have been 1-1.

 

[Pedro Delgado]

Poor Ghana. Adriano offside twice there.

 

[GIMH]

Can't see Brazil surrendering a two goal lead. Mouthwatering quarter-final against Spain or a rematch of the 98 final against France beckons.

 

[steds]

This is the first time ever that Cloete has been the most mature person in a thread.

Agreed, except I couldn't regret supporting Australia. Italy deserve to go out after trying to take out McBride.

 

[Jono]

Talk about leaving the Ghana goalie left for dead!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Ghana should've scored at least 3 times if not for bad finishing. Oh well. Bed time very soon methinks.

 

[Jono]

I'm tired but I want to stay up for Spain vs. France, particularly since I have a fair bit of money riding on that match.

Time for a Red Bull me thinks.

 

[GIMH]

If Brazil wore white, and sat on the other side of the Channel to France, they'd be hugely castigated for their performance, regardless of the scoreline

A team with decent finishing ability would have beaten Brazil today.

 

[aussie]

oh geez Brazil are hitting top form.
