Guest ks Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 brazil is going to win the copa.... france never mind, from the scenes against uruguay... it is clear to see the french have lost their touch.. spain, argentina, and italy are the other strong teams.. about the dane senegal match, it was funny to see the poor danes melting in the heat of the second half... thomasson is very good though... i think france has its work cut out just to reach the next round.. if i was a gambler, i would place my bets on senegal and denmark to go through to the next round from that group... but watch out for my favorite team brazil... denilson is going to score one of the most amazing goals of the world cup.. and the two ronalds are back in form.. now only if that scholari would let his best players play they would win... juninho, ronaldo, rivaldo, denilson, ronaldinho, kafu, roberto carlos man what a team... the tip world of football.... oh yeah us beating portugal was a joke,.., one that still hasn't sunk in yet...

Guest yellow submariner Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Using my "superior" American brain power somehow I deduct Järsimähäiriö is from Finland. Unfortunately I could not Finland in the World Cup. Why is that? By the way the best sport is Hockey but again Finland's participation (in the Olympics) was very short-lived. So please DO NOT get wise with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Järsimähäiriö Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 And what has hockey or Finland's absence do with this thread about World Cup football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yellow submariner Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Perhaps you missed the question? Where is Finland in the World Cup? Since we Americans are so ignorant about football how come we still have a team that is participating in World Cup? The WHOLE WORLD is watching WORLD CUP without Finland! Basicaly you have no football team nor a hockey team that is capable of playing in World Cup and/or Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Järsimähäiriö Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 So you are saying that Americans actually are football-entusiasts? It's a really big sport over there? Wow, I mean that's not what the owners of the MLS-teams say... Also, Broadcasting-companies seem to disagree with you as well. And, staying incredibly calm despite your attitude, I could add that I'm not so sure if USA would have made it to the World Cups finals if they had to play in the same qualification group as England and Germany, with only one team succeeding and number #2 heading to further qualification-matches... To play in the "North- and Central-American" group is something completely different, I mean competing against such football-giants as Guatemala, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago and Honduras isn't exactly to be considered as tasking for any even half-decent team. And yea I can tell you that despite the fact that our team is not playing there this time people are really keen on the games, many people have taken some vacation to be able to watch the matches every day. And to be quite honest, I'm not quite followin what are you trying to prove here... First you come posting in this topic (The official World Cup thread) about how nobody cares about such stupid sport, yet now you are bragging about how you and your countrymen are all for team USA... which is of course good for you if this is the case... So how is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Järsimähäiriö Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Also, I guess you are implying that just because Saudi-Arabia and China are playing there now while teams like Holland, Norway and Greece aren't, Saudi-Arabia and China are better teams? Hehhee, right... It's actually quite stupid that some of the best teams in the world don't make it to the World Cup finals solely for the reason that there are so many good teams in europe... But I also understand that this kind of qualification-system encourages the nations of North-America and Asia to really get into the joys of football as there's a good chance of getting into the World Cup finals without having to be too good at it.

Järsimähäiriö Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Nice. So what did you win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Psychedelic AllabertA Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 :D Croatia - Italy 2-1 )) Although even 2 goals by the Italians weren't recognized because of an offside and a foul on the Croatian goalkeeper... Sorry guys, simply bad luck :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Järsimähäiriö Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Hmm, there was no foul committed against Croatian goalkeeper, nor was there an off-side... I think those refs won't be seen on the field anymore in this tournament. Anyway, Croatia looked great, a totally different team compared to the dreadful performance against Mexico. I'm quite amazed and wish they'll be the other team going forward to the second round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yellow submariner Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Did Finland score a goal or was that called off sides as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ks Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 yellow go get a life man.,.. wat you wasting everyone's time here for... dude, you are just showing yourself to be ignorant and since you seem to be a self proclaimed ambassador for the u.s., i think its best you shut up or reply responsibly.. Dude soccer is played in every country in the world, while hockey is played by no one except for people in north america and europe... anyways dude go and watch the lakers - nets series and stop pissing people off in a world cup forum.. and finland has a population of approx 5.5 million, while the us has 200 million... stop being so goddamn ignorant, you give americans a bad name... the world does not revolve around your suburban pizza place, if you know what i mean... to explain it in a languaqge you would understand, imagine an italian, spansih, asian etc. person coming to a hockey thread and shooting his mouth off about the us getting their asses handed to them in the last olympics by CANADA..
