Tomorrow seems like a fun day, I also think the winner of the world cup will come from this side of the chart.

Well, to be fair with Italy, Paraguay is a great team, they beat both Brazil and Argentina and finished 3rd in south america behind Brazil and Chile(goal difference). Way better team than USA at least.


Yup, Paraguay has an excellent team. And they can do great things in this WC, if they get their attacking straight. There are a lot of similarities between both the playing style of Italy and Paraguay, mostly defensive oriented and playing on the mistakes of the adversary. 

I think that Santa Cruz isn't on his best form yet though.

I can't see italy scoring any goal at this rate, the strikers simply SUCK and I still believe Italy needed Cassano or totti creativity, Lippi is a successful man but being stuborn won't get you anywhere.

Tomorrow. 

Portugal - Ivory Coast. 

Will the road to a dream World Cup begin for the Tuga team?  Or will it only shown a weakened Portuguese side? 

Let's go Ronaldo, Deco, Dany, Simao, Raul Meireles, Bruno Alves and the lot!!!

I believe in you


This guy has always been underrated, I hope he steals the show tomorrow :)

He was our (F.C.Porto) hero during the excellent two Mourinho years, when we won both the Uefa Cup and the European Champions League in consecutive years (We're the second team in the history of both competitions to do it, consecutively First one was Liverpool).

It's a shame that he got so underrated when he went to Barcelona and Chelsea though

 Germany was certainly the best team so far, although Australia was very disappointing with such sloppy positioning. in the first goal it was ridiculous how Neill thought there would be another man waiting for the ball, it was Podolski closing in instead lol

Serbia and Ghana was terrible too, Ghana was better and deserved the victory though.


they didnt deserve to win aynthing in that match. the only reason they won is because of stupidity of kuzmanovic  who played with hand in 16m area ( i dont knw the real name for it in english lol ). Sure they had bigger ball posseion %, but serbs had more and bigger chances than ghana.

ghana didnt defeat us, we defeated ourselves.



Well I think Ghana played better than Serbia as well.

0:0 would have been a fair score too, but I can't say the victory for Ghana is not deserved.



im not saying serbs deserved to win either, hell no, in fact, i was probably disappointed the most with their performance, but i really think the game should have been 0-0

it okay :). if we can play draw with germany and if australia defeat ghana and if we defeat austraila and germany defeats ghana we will proceed in top 16. But of course, thats lot of ''ifs''. it would have been much easier if we have won over ghana. This way, we have to defeat germany and australia to go further for sure, which is incredibly hard, but not impossible
