Oliver:

You will have to include a picture of argentinians in your gallery, after all ... will
be at the eighths finals playing with Mexico or Portugal that seem to be amongst
the best teams.

Tomorrow you will see most of new arg  players vs. Netherlands saving those
you already  saw, for eighths and quarters.

Fair play and good show to all

Oliver:

Thank you .  Good picture.  If the arg coach (Pekerman) includes her in the
team nobody stops Argentina upto final quarters.
Confidentiallys our secret weapon is to  make other players stare at her
while we goal.

Will see Germany at quarter finals

That's a nice plan, unfortunately the host nation team is playing it's last match Saturday!
If Argentina makes it to the quarter it'll be against another team - Guess who!

dang, dang, dang! was at the NPE 2006 plastics expo in Chicago the last 3 days...missed every match...all I could manage was a sneak at the Germany Ecquador match at "Bayer's" booth...(of course, the Germans!!  )

anyway...came a few minutes back and missed the ARG-NED game too...gotta watch the remtach...a 0 - 0 draw?? hmm..some players were rested, but still, that must have been interesting?

glad to see the board kicking while I was gone...as they say, FUSBOL is a beast of it's own.

some pictures to get u excited.

1.) hey eliteG, you know any of these Portugese babes? (talk about the one on the left  )

Hey Vic.. just so you know it is Ramsburg that is Portuguese..  I'm Israeli and have lived in America since I was 4... and I strongly believe that Argentina should be playing some of their bench: http://argentina.worldcupblog.org/1/who-can-beat-us.html

GO USA!

Hey fellows:

We are reserving the players shown in  Elite G's picture only for semifinals
and after hours celebration.

[Ouch!!!]

Fantastic game Brazil-Japan.
Wild open. 1-1 after the first half.

This is the first time another team scored against Brazil in several matches.
Good. It should wake them up and bring them back to earth.
Or else Germany could demolish them.
And... I lose a thousand bucks.

I'm happy I was wrong about Ronaldo. He's doing great.

GO USA! 

thanks for clarifying...my bad!

anyway, the experts are picking Portugal to win against Nederlands this weekend....very interesting.

[vic666]

okay...time for updates:

Today's matches:

1.) Germany is winning against Sweden with less than 10 minutes to go. Congrats La-onda! 

2.) Argentina is very likely gonna win against Mexico this afternoon

So...Germany vs. Argentina  that's gonna be a ripper!!! very very tough to pick. gotta see how Argentian plays this afternoon. The two German forwards Klose and Podolski are clicking so nicely, but the German defense hasn't been tested as much as I'd like to have seen....lots of that will happen in the game against Argentina 

Tomorrows' matches :

1.) England vs. Ecquador - I think the Brits will sneak through...they definitely have a lot to prove..but let's see how Owen and Rooney clcik together tomorrow.

2.) Portugal vs. Nederlands - I think I'll pick the Dutch, i think they are better overall with a solid defense to hold off Portugal

So that'll leave us with England vs. Nederlands in the round of 8...and for that, I'll definitely pick Nederlands.

Anyway...can't wait for the game this afternoon.

Happy "soccering" everyone!

nice game 

[eliteG]

I was impressed by Mexico.. they gave a great game before losing in extra time.

Argentina vs. Germany.. now that is going to be a nice soccer game... Have to give the edge to Germany for homefield and the ease of their last victory.. but if Messi starts for Argentina   it evens the odds.

England vs. Ecquador.. man England could shine if their talent comes through.. Gerard, Lampart, Rooney.. this will be a test if they can handle the South American style game.

Portugal vs. Netherlands.. ooh tough call, if Portugal can score early it will be their game they have some stars.

futbol!

Well since my daughter has duel citizenship,
Brazilian/American
That makes her a Brazacana.....
I will have to pull for her Home Country.......Brazil !
Where she lives now.......Go Brazil!!!!!!

Take a look at some of the Beauty there.....

As I said in message #16 Germany vs. Argentina passed to quarters.
It's going to be a challenge for different football schools (speed vs.
individuall skill).

Ecuador, Brazil and Portugal are going to be outstanding candidates for quarters

Good luck to all
