The 2002 World Cup Thread

wHOOPs, what do you mean WHOOPS
Bloody marvelous!!

 

[Gord]

Great

The Italians have no complaints

They brought it on by an inept display of boring cynical negative football

They might have more talent but sometimes you have to go out and win a game

 

[District Line]

Yep.

Unbelievable, there's no way anyone could have predicted this at the start of the tournament.

Unbelievable ! Well Done.

 

[cybergirly]

After that last 25 minutes, I'm glad I started watching this sport!

 

[District Line]

The difference was that South Korea really tried hard to win the game.

If they hadn't the fans might have killed them.

What an earth is going on in the World Cup?

Upset after upset after upset...........amazing!

Welcome to my Time Machine... Step inside and don't spill anything.

The US goes in over a boring and slow Germany.

South Korea triumphs over a slower Spanish team completely awed bythe home crowd, setting up the second meeting between the South Koreans and the United States.

The US, who has already faced that home crowd pressure, evens the series in the Cup and advances to play England who withstood an incredible Brazilian effort and spanked a plucky Senegalese squad.

See? My prediction can still work, and isn't all that unreasonable.

I'm an Italian supporter for this game.

I'm Irish and I want England to win the World Cup. So, mixed up as I am, I think the Italian Korean game was excellent.

It was very exciting and I was on the edge of my seat.

WOW!

Well after today - I would not discount anything - I only hope that the u do beat the Germans - I would not be that confident if England faced them - they do tend to do OK in compt

 

[fanzee1]

south korea/italy

what a great game. I wouldn't want to be anybody taking on the koreans right now.


They ran the Azzurri into the ground. Incredible.


England over Brazil. bank on it.

 

[fanzee1]

Anybody else think they could have skipped about 55 mins of this match?

cybergirly sounding like a veteran fan already.

Well I wish i shared your confidence - It is going to be a hell of a game

The whole country is going to grind to a halt for 2.5 hours on Friday morning !!

Shit or bust as they say as the semi is eiither Turkey or Senegal - but bearing in mind the results this WC has tossed up - I think Id rather face Argentina again !!

And I was even drinking a dark ale while watching the match.

 

[Mountain Man]

Just to clear some things up...

I checked the World Cup Web site...

BRA /ENG winner plays the SEN/TUR winner
GER/USA winner plays the ESP/KOR winner

Who would have thought that Korea would Beat Italy.....what this world cup has become is incredible...Amazing to watch...just need to catch up on some sleep eventually

i still think it'll be GER vs Sen in the finals


GO USA!!!!!

 

[fanzee1]

And I was even drinking a dark ale while watching the match.

next thing you know, you'll be chanting on the couch!

Everybody, the way this World Cup has gone, don't be stunned if senegal or turkey win it all.

Haven't you heard?

If we win Friday's cancelled...

The whole thing is slowly getting closer...

to JMJ's prediction and my personal worse case scenario...

An England vs USA final.
