The French performed horrible today. The failed cross and the failed corner at the end of the match made it even more disappointing..

Deutschland looks great!

[tomazws]

Deutschland looks great!

With Australia playing like that, would've been 4-0 already if not those close misses xD

Let's score more after half time!

[Nial]

GERMANY No way, the day I`d want Germany to win anything would be the day after my total frontal lobotomy.

I`d prefer to see ANY other country win over Germany.

Dont get me wrong, I like Germany and Germans, but when it comes to Football we are arch enemies.

I'm hearing lots of good stuff of USAs Howard on goal

[dustin15brown]

I woke up at 3am to go to the game here in Sydney at FIFA Fan Fest and it was crazy. The US, I thought, played relatively well and I was stoked for the 1-1 tie. That was more than anyone should have expected. England played pretty poorly IMO. Oh well!

[BonzaiCelica]

ARGENTINA ALL THE WAY HAHA

[Rusty]

New Zealand 1 : 1 Slovakia

New Zealand 1 : 1 Slovakia

Not a bad result there, you're way below them in the rankings

[Supersprynt]

Kinda like England & U.S.

[Rusty]

hmm NZ's getting excited over its 1 goal, its kind of embarrassing

[manphibian]

Was a great match, I was right behind the the goal posts

Here I am. And I was well chuffed (that's how you guys put it, right?). I expected either a tie or 2:1 for Spain, but wasn't really expecting a win. I have to say that the game started out slowly, but defense at the end was incredible. I felt like we could've played Brazil. Would've been a tie had that that amazing strike not hit the top bar (hit by Villa, I think). All in all, pretty incredible game. Holland is doing great as well, so I'm very pleased with the Cup so far.

A draw or 2-1 ?! Spain are the favourites to win the thing, i expected them to win by 3 or 4 goals at least! Massive shock. I reckon the Swiss have used up all their good luck now though

Hopefully England will make a few changes for Fridays game, as we really should be easily beating Algeria....

[SwissFerdi]

^ Yeah well, I have faith in my team Lukey. It'd be awesome if Switzerland could keep this up, would be fun if it was Holland vs. Switzerland in the final.

And England will be alright, as long as Green puts some glue on his gloves. I feel bad for the guy, he's NEVER living that down...

[dabazied]

Green was just showing some American spirit Gotta love how on the replay you can see him saying f*@k me lol

[Numba1Stunna]

Go England!!!!!

[Supersprynt]

I can't watch either games tomorrow, MEH.

Cheese-eating surrender monkeys lost. Pretty decent game though.

Can't wait for Holland to take on JDM land on saturday.

[Supersprynt]

SO disappointed right now. Germany losing to Serbia.

[easternpiro1]

i know im late... REAL late, but i been looking for a brit to antagonize ALL FREAKIN WEAK with no success then i realized 6gc is crawlin with the limeys!!

with that bein said.....







GEAUX USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EAT IT ENGLAND! LOL!!


when is brazil playing? i pull 4 them too...

[SwissFerdi]

LOL @ geaux. I've used that a few times myself.

Wow, Serbia won...it was playing too early for me to care, but did anyone watch it and can say it's a good game? I wouldn't mind seeing some Germans getting their ass whooped, so if it's worthwhile I'll watch the replay.

And if England loses to Algeria, I'll...I don't know, I'll be really excited. What an awesome Cup so far, so full of upsets.

[Supersprynt]

Well the Germany/Serbia game was a crock of sh!t, yellow cards left and right.

The USA is totally blowing it, because apparently they suck hardcore, losing 2-0 to Slovenia.

NOT a good day for football.

Now ESPN3 streaming isn't working and I missed both of the USA goals. WTF.

I didn't necessarily want the US to win, but I feel bad that the win was taken from them. It wasn't even a chance at the win, it was literally the win taken from them...that call was bull****.

Agreed minus the first sentence...... They will eventually lose but we shall see how far they can go, if they don't get bs calls like the one today.

[Supersprynt]

World Cup needs an instant replay. Refs have ruined 2 games for me today.

[manphibian]

Absolutely gutted. England are an absolute disgrace. Bunch of overpaid bottlers.

(and to super, no football does NOT need instant replays, don't try to turn it into a slow boring US sport with more stops in play than action.... the speed of the game and the controversy, and arguments at work the next day is what makes football the best game in the world ((except when england play it ))

[Nial]

Shocking display from England, embarrassing and shameful, bunch of overpaid premadonas need their heads knocking together, that was one of the worst football matches I have ever seen England play. Boooooo England.

i really don't see any way back from this mate, do you??

I just don't know what is going on? Are they tired? Too much pressure? Or is it that the foreign players they have around them in their teams make them look better than they are?

It's actually made me sad watching that

I have no idea if they can come back from that shower of ****......they are playing like its the first time they have played together. I bet we could get a better team together from people from 6GC. They wasted every chance and should be ashamed at their performance.

I recon its those dam vuvuzela horn things putting them off

HUP HOLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

Quite the conflict of interests for me...I'm a Dutch guy driving a Japanese car...but I still hope JDM land will get buried tomorrow. Awesome Cup so far though, seeing as all of the favored teams are not doing well (except for one or two ).

yep. But they hardly created anything.... i literally cannot believe the amount of times they just gave the ball away, or just didn't look interested.... It's as if they had just ran about 10 miles before the match....

I thought for a bit it might have been an altitude thing.... but the match was played at sea level.... It's just so disappointing. Did you see Rooney spouting off as he left the pitch, about the fans, that they were booing....

Of course they were booing! I'm considering going down to Heathrow to boo them off the plane!

yep, it's all gone so very very wrong. Unless there is some magnificent turnaround that is....

It's true most teams have looked poor for some reason or another.... It's hard to even pinpoint what the problem is!?

Let's just blame the ball, eh!

i cant belive USA caught up after getting scored on twice. I turned the minute USA got scored on the 2nd time. i was disgusted.... i wanted to kick the dog.... i really would have been mad if i would have seen that call... might have had a broken tv lol... ah well.

I almost feel like it should've been 2-0 because toward the end, we had two extremely good chances, but a win is a win and I'm not complaining.

i agree! from the vuzuuelas to the soccer ball complaints to french coaches getting cursed out by their own players, there is DEFINATELY somethin weird in the air about this years world cup... cant put my finger on it (other than the usa not gettin their asses kicked)

i can only say it may be that is sort of like drifting US has caught up to japan and surpassed in talent, and sort of like basketball the entire world got better so its an almost even playing field i guess?

But lo and motherfukcing behold, Fernandez shoves Inler in the ****ing neck ON PURPOSE and he only gets yellow. Way to be fair, dickweed. I hope you spontaneously combust.

not to mention dat miss at the end of the game

[SwissFerdi]

^ The only time that they really messed up. Benaglio could've diverted that ball (and prevented the goal) by sticking his arms up, but he's done enough so I don't really blame him. Derdiyok, on the other hand, should've hit that ball up and over the goalie, not right into his arms. Sh!t happens though. We played well enough with 10 guys, can't say too much when half the game was run by biased ref.

We werent allowed to stop and watch the England game today, though our dealer principal did decide that he was feeling unwell just before kick off and he had to go home. We checked the cctv logs to find that he had logged in from home and was checking what people were doing during the match...
