SiriuslyCold Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Italians and Czech and USA equal chances, Ghana outsiders?
Norman_Chan Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Italy and Czech should go through but US will be the dark horse ....
Necrohavoc Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 EA Software simulates world cup and winner turns out to be Czech Republic! http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=9592
Norman_Chan Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Think such thing can only happen in European Cup and not the World Cup ....ha...ha....
SiriuslyCold Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 well, doesn't look like EA software is far off, the Czech certainly look the most accomplished so far - no obvious weaknesses in the team at all; Rosicky looking like Nedved more and more (Arse fans must be well chuffed). Only downside is the injury to Koller - hamstring coul dknock him out for the whole tournament. Scratch the US - their world ranking is obviously inflated due to the wins against less than stellar opposition in the CONCACAF; good news is that FIFA will revamp the ranking system to one which would make more sense
Norman_Chan Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 When Czech play Italy ...the real color of the Czech will show .... was quite impressed during their Euro 2004 performance ...
silencer13 Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 wow, this is now the most interesting group, with all 4 teams having a chance to qualify! Great work by Ghana to beat Czech, they deserved it with some very good teamwork and determination. USA put in a nice performance agianst Italy as well to draw 1-1. Could have won the game in fact. Up to game 3 now to decide who qualifies.
Spunky Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Wah!! Ghana really can play! Their movement very fluid and strikers quick to beat the offside traps! I can't see them losing to the USA...meaning, there's this possibility that they may top the group with 2 wins! It's gonna be quite a game between Czech n Italy!!
Norman_Chan Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Maybe over look on this team ...do you know that they beat South Korea during the friendly game before coming to Germany ...but this Group performance go hay-wire already lah ...USA holding Italy to a DRAW !
Spunky Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 well, Ghana didn't do well in the African Nation cup early this yr. In fact, except for Ivory Coast, none of the other Qtr finalists made it to the WC2006.
Norman_Chan Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Alarmat Italy Draw with US ....ball is really round !
Necrohavoc Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Alarmat Italy Draw with US ....ball is really round ! and De Rossi's elbow is not very round! I feel pain for McBride watching.. :o
SiriuslyCold Posted June 19, 2006 Author Posted June 19, 2006 crap ref, too. on that note, it's good to see Shamsul Mydin getting a third match - he has really been excellent and almost invisible in the matches he's reffed - other than the two well given red cards, you hardly notice him in the game.
sonofdbn Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Alarmat Italy Draw with US ....ball is really round ! In fact it's even rounder than before ;D. From some Adidas blurb: "Traditional 32 panel hand stitched balls have a wider target zone meaning accuracy is hard to consistantly achieve. The new 14-panel design has resulted in a ball with the most consistent performance characteristics ever, enabling the players to show their true skills. There are fewer seams, so the ball is rounder and performs more uniformly, regardless of where it is hit. The more perfect the sphere is, the more balanced it will be, offering greater accuracy due to the predictability of its flight. The new panel shape harmonizes the energy displacement and minimizes the amount of corners, while the larger panels allow for a cleaner kicking area."
