Hardy Pyle Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I was a bit disapointed with Portugal as well. They missed Deco. I was surprised the pace Figo showed (he's about 34) to set up the first goal. C.Ronaldo will likely miss the first game of the elimation round if the three yellow rule is in effect. He picked up one this game and he seems like he's ready to have a temper tantrum. Overall, Portugal didn't show me enough to really be impressed. Glad to see the Mexico result! Hopefully, the Borgetti injury isn't serious.
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Well folks just a few hours to go before the USA takes the field.

That was absolute brilliance the way he feigned a shot, and then basically led himself, blew by the Angola defender, and made the cross. That guy is dangerous. I didn't realize Ronaldo had the reputation he does, but I was getting a kick out of his facial expressions. He seems to have a fair bit of talent, though, too. That header that he put off the crossbar was pretty slick. If they can harness whatever they were doing in the first part of that match, I don't want to play them.

Looked silly.

ajzepp Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 I see your really into soccer! 706875[/snapback] Yeah, I get pretty excited about the World Cup
GoodBye Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Yeppers 706879[/snapback] I kinda wished the US game was today instead of 9am tomorrow. Oh well...you'll have to let me know who wins!
Pete Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Dang, I pulled a Meazza and slept through the game....hopefully the next two will be good 706659[/snapback] tivo
ajzepp Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 What a great goal by Italy....Ghana was giving them all they wanted, but they just don't quite have the precision to put the ball in the net. So far this game is a lot like the Portugal/Angola match....both teams coming out swinging, lots of good action, but one team is just a bit more technically sound.
Chef Jim Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I've started to watch a few matches but realized I had more important thing to do. If anyone wants to know how long it takes paint to dry just PM me. I now have the answer.

ajzepp Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 I found jabbing ice picks in my testicles was slightly more exhilarating, and much less painful than the game... 707283[/snapback] I wonder if Jack Bauer knows about that technique
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Dang, I pulled a Meazza and slept through the game.... 706659[/snapback] So'd the US team...
ajzepp Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 So'd the US team... 707305[/snapback] No doubt!
kegtapr Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I found jabbing ice picks in my testicles was slightly more exhilarating, and much less painful than the game... 707283[/snapback] Sad part is that game was probably more exciting then 90% of the Bills games will be this year.
