SOUTH KOREA EQUALISES AFTER...

9.30 minutes.

What a game!

And it's only just started...

:D :D
 
S. Korea vs Turkey

Wow ! They're really going at it.

I didn't know if anyone else was watching this.

15 minutes into the game - the scores is 1 - 2.

This is a bloody good game so far.
 
No goals for the last 10 minutes...

but they're both going at it hammer and tongs...

Great stuff.

:D
 
Turkey running away with it now...

3 - 1.

But the pace and the skill is still fast...

:)

Can they keep this pace up for 90 mins? If so, this is going to be great...

I suspect tempers are going to get a bit short in the second half.

For a while, I thought we were going to get a goal every five minutes, but the defenses sem to have woken up just a bit.
 
Yeah, the defenders must have woken up a bit, no goals for a while now. They must have had some strong coffee at half time. ;)
 
The steam's gone out of South Korea...

at the moment.

This just may be one game too many for them.

:)

Having said that, they're now putting Turkey under tremendous pressure.

Yes.

But will there be enough time....
 
South Korea scored in the final minute.

Final score Turkey 3 - South Korea 2.

A good game. It was a pity one of them had to lose.

I'm not sure the final will be as good and exciting as this one.

:)
 
Turkey wins !

Third place in the world, that's still an amazing achievement.

Players from both teams celebrate, gestures of good will and sportmanship abound.

Nicely done boys.
 
After 90+ matches, 4 weeks, some dodgy refereeing decisions and...

some great football, we're finally here.

WORLD CUP FINAL DAY!

My forecast?

Germany 3 - Brazil 2

:)
 
Let's not forget....

after all the lost sleep, by us American fans...
having to watch matches in Spanish...
and still not regretting a moment of it...
Bring on the World Cup Final! :D

I nominate all Americans for receipt of the FIFA Golden Ticket Award for their unquenching interest in a game which is new to many of them and having to get up in the early hours of the morning to watch it.

And especially to cybergirly 1989 who only started watching it a couple of weeks ago and watched the semis in Spanish.

Well done and welcome to the world soccer fraternity! :)

After that little speech I only hope the game today's a good one. It promises to be with Germany and Brazil leading the rest of us in the number of times they've been World Champions.

Brazil four times and Germany three. Germany will want to equal Brazil's record.

With Brazil being one of the best attacking teams on the planet and Germany being one of the best defensive ones, the whole match has a lot of promise going for it.

The excitement mounts...

:D
 
G'morning football fans.

Today sees the conclusion of four years of qualifying rounds spanning all the inhabited continents of the world and four weeks of intense World Cup tournament football. The day is upon us.

The football World Cup final.

Yay !

I hope the Germans win.

Got a £5 bet on them to win 2 - 1 but Rivaldo to score first goal at 95/1

Hiya solid_ !


But oh no NOT THE GERMANS ! Please ! Arrgh ! :eek: :D (j/k) Lol.



I give the German credit though, they've done well to recover and make it to the finals.

I'd like to see the legendary Brazilians win. (A German can win the formula one title).

However, I just can't make a call in this World Cup. I've no idea idea whose going to win this one.
