Aussie defence looking pretty damn strong.

ghana's playing like crap but the boys from oz look dead tired.

Yeah, too much ground to cover with only 10 men. Valiant effort though.

ref is handing out cards like they're candy

 

[lupi]

subs for oz bringing some motion back to the game, should have changed out some sooner as time's about up.

 

[KeithTalent]

Looking like a draw now. That was a nice save by the Aussie goalie there.

KT

 

[lupi]

holy shit, you see the amount of blood on that guy.

 

[lupi]

and another draw, well at least you can say the final games of about all the groups are going to be exciting from the number of draw matches we've seen so far.

 

[KeithTalent]

Damn, can't believe Ghana could not pull that one out. Good effort by the Aussies being down for so long.

Cought a little bit of the last match and I thought Ghana did pretty good.

Next up is Cameroon vs. Denmark.

Should be good. I picked the Danes, the Cameroon team seems to be pretty dysfunctional, but who the hell really knows what will happen.

All isn't well in the French camp.

France striker Nicolas Anelka has been sent home from the World Cup after verbally insulting coach Raymond Domenech during the Mexico game.

Danish defense trying to make the US defense look good

 

[lupi]

danes get an easy goal with bad goalie play after letting the roons play most of the half in the dane box.

 

[Udgnim]

no defense soccer is entertaining!

 

[lupi]

what a series of should have goals.

 

[KeithTalent]

Hell of a game so far! Both defences looking terrible!

Watched the first half out having lunch and most people seem to be cheering for Cameroon. :hmm:

KT

 

[KeithTalent]

Holy freaking crap!!! What a goal! Wooooooooo! :awe:

KT

 

[KeithTalent]

Damn it, that should have been 3-1 for sure. Wide open.

KT

 

[KeithTalent]

What a save!

KT

 

[KeithTalent]

Yes, FTW! Shocked Cameroon did not tie that up considering how much pressure had been applied.

Now this was a game worthy of World Cup. Cameroon didn't deserve to lose, then again, when you ruin so many chances, you often pay for it... Great game.

 

[nCred]

Weird game but Denmark usually plays unusually.

 

[sdifox]

So another African team bites the dust.

Cameroon v Denmark was probably the most entertaining soccer game that I've seen..in my limited exposure.

Horrible defenses allowed me to actually watch 2 teams set up offensive plays, good 1v1 matches on each possession. I could tell that soccer teams would try to establish certain positions on the field on each side, try to set up plays and such, but this was the first time that I've gotten to see it happen.

I think I was mostly pulling for Cameroon b/c they were so damn aggressive. the yellow socks also made it easy to follow their placement on the field.
