Meshugger Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 You could cheer for the US! Imagine all the people you'll piss off! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't actually mind the US winning, since the trophy has been wandering from South America to Europe back and forth ever since it first started.

Lucius Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 It is difficult to type with my head buried under my desk <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Imagine if they had actually scored on that one but extremely close chance. Anyway, I'm sure it had something to do with you being in all yellow today... the gods did not fancy such an awful sight. DENMARK!

Atreides Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I bought a TeamGeist replica football (by Adidas, just not the $150 version) yesterday and it feels really cushy compared to my Roteiro (Euro 2004). I'm starting to get an idea why people can whack them as hard as they have been. Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguars4ever Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 The TeamGeist football sucks. It's supposed to be the lightest, most accurate ball, but the players have complained that it's too difficult to control. Plus, it's too light, it rebounds too much and it bends too much. All you have to do is whack it as hard as you can and it will automatically swerve - without you needing to apply topspin or backspin. If you don't have the talent or the time to practive then don't worry - TeamGeist will produce the results for you. Even Atreides or I will be able to consistently get 40 yard shots on target with this. Why? Have you ever thumped one of those 'imitation' beach-balls and watched them rocket? It's the same kind of thing. As Atreides said, the Roteiro is much better. However, the favorite amonst both coaches and players (and also myself) is the Terrestra from Euro 2000.

Atreides Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Weirdly enough I have a Terrestra in my room too. I'd prefer the Roteiro over it. Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Anybody watching the Netherlands game? Robben just scored (18), van Persie gave a first touch lob and he ran pretty much half the pitch to score.

Pidesco Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 1-0 for Portugal at half-time. They haven't been playing very well, though. It's like they can't really be bothered to put in a proper effort.

Pidesco Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 It ended 1-0 for Portugal. I get a feeling Scolari decided to tell the team to win the game with as little effort as possible. They played fast, attacking football for the first 5 minutes (until they scored), and then just laid back and waited for the game to end.

Nameless One Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 This portugal game was boring. A very boring kind of boring. Costa Rica wasn't the best test to measure the capabilities of the German team, but it was worth watching (those two marvelous lucky-shots) and it heightened the hopes that we won't embarrass ourselves in the our own country. I'm hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta Truth Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Well so far through 3 days of games the action has been mixed. Germany won by scoring 4 goals ... and on that note GO GERMANY GO.. England barely wins ... Sweden and Trinidad play to a 0-0 tie Portugal only wins 1-0 it seems the games that were the most exciting to watch were the won's people werern't talking about .. Well lets see how it goes tomorrow the U.S. plays the Czechs and Italy is in action how will they do .. lots of questions.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigranes Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 That was an amusing goal, Takahara definitely pushed the keeper out of the way but it wasn't intentional, the crosses bounces in. Probably would have been a foul on most other days.
