world Cup 06

[Katy]

Germanys begun, with England beating paraquay 1 - 0 im=n a rather poor match. Equador put 2 past poland and Germany beat Costa Rica 4 2 despite two good goals from Paulo Wanchope.

Whether you love it or hate the world cup, any opinions on the games could be posted in this thread.

i watched the first half of the germany/costa rica game yesterday and i have to say i was pretty disappointed with germanys performance, i thought they played quite poorly

today i watched the england/paraguay game, i think england played really well in the first half, but they came out for the second half and werent playing that well at all, its like they thought the first half is over we dont have to try as hard now! and i thought svens choice of subs was stupid as well! oh and also i thought the referee was a bit unfair in places

the ref seemed to have it in a bit for poor Gerrard, first the yellow card and then not letting the physio onto the pitch for him when he hurt his knee

yeh he did seem to have it in for him, and crouch. i think he was more unfair to england than paraguay but he was pretty strict with both, like when he gave a free kick to england cos the goalkeeper held the ball for too long or something?!

Weh-hey Here's the lovely thread I was looking for!!

England won 1-0 to Paraguay!! Didn't really watch the match because I had to go to a wedding.. me and dad was complaning all through it and mum got a bit 'annoyed' with us But we came home for the last bits, watched the highlights.. just enough to sum it up for us!!

Dosen't seem like I missed much though since there was only 1 goal scored througout the whole game but it's good enough

Go On England!!

Who scored please?? I was out.

david beckham kicked a free kick and it rebounded off on of the players from paraguay into the goal so basically it was an own goal.

I felt really sorry for the paraquay goalie i hope hes not out for the rest of the world cup. Trinidad and tobago did England a big big favour as the managed to keep sweededn to a 0 0 draw with 10 men. They were fab all the way through. Shak Hislop was a complete legend and he wasnt meant to be first choice goalkeeper, kelvin jock who plays for dundee was injured walking back to the dressing room after the prematch warm up and Shaka had 10 minutes to get his gloves on. Looking forward to the trinidad and tobago England game now.
