FIFA world cup update...

England out of the CUP ...

Brazil is going home too...just lost against Portugal 😢

The countries playin' in Semi-finals :

GERMANY ( GO boys 😛)
Italy
France
Portugal

the next match will be Gernany V/s Italy ( lets see who beats who Vanessa 😛)

Damn!
I'm gonna have to cheer out for Germany now!
and they lost against that good for nothing France of all team!
nothing against the French, I actually think that they played superbly well today, but I just don't believe that they are of the caliber of Brazil...

ya i was kind of sad to see Brazil lose today coz they are GOOD.... i was supporting Brazil after Germany...

sad we have no south american team playin the semi finals 😢

England Squad after they lost against Portugal...( they were all Teary....)

oppps i meant Brazil lost against France not Portugal

Brazil VS France----- 0:1

Portugal VS England-----1:3 ( penalty shots )

Yeah, it was sad for the English as well...
The final is going to be boring to watch because it's only European teams now left. European football is quite boring to watch. And yeah, it sucks that there isn't one South American team left. even Argentina is better than nothing...

'...Oh well, I hope Germany Wins....'

GO GIRL 😛😛...... Germany has a good chance of winning this year 🙂 but u never know with soccer.. the penalty shots are the part i HATE coz its soooo easy for even the STRONGEST team to lose if it comes to penalty shots 😢.....

When both teams are strong ( like Germany and Argentina are) they dont let each other score anything.....and that leads to penalty stage....

Like England is a good team and they played really well today but Portugal is good too and so itz really hard to beat them...i have never seen any team score like 10 goals coz all the teams that r playin in the world cup are very Strong otherwise they wouldnt have qualified to play the WC ....

soccer is Amazing...

u can never really predict the outcome of WC coz one silly mistake of a player or goal keeper has the team kicked out....and thats wat happened with Brazil today.... one silly mistake... jeeezzz....

Eliza you're really into the World Cup! Fair play 2u. I only have a very passing interest in soccer but enjoy the World Cup. I keep hearing that France is bad but they did very well in their last two matches and they've got some very good players like Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry. But yeah I noticed that they exceeded people's expectations in their matches against Spain and Brazil. Allez Allez Le Francais! Ah no I don't really mind who wins. If Ireland had qualified obviosusly it would be a different matter tho ;P

*obviosusly - obviously

...one silly mistake of a player or goal keeper has the team kicked out....and thats wat happened with Brazil today.... one silly mistake... jeeezzz....

I agree the outcome is really never set in the World Cup. That's the beauty of the game and the competition.
But Brazil was absolutely mediocre today...absolutely. I don't know what happened!!
They started playing badly in the competition, picked up a bit and I thought that they were going to keep it up. But their performance was aweful, especially today. What with the coach only introducing new players in the field in the last 15 minutes of the game! Football is not a game that is won in the last minutes. It demands careful planning and strategizing. A team only rarely wins last minute and under extreme circumstances! that is to level the score and then go over it to win against france today. It would have been better if they'd lost on penalty as with Argentina, cause then it really depends on one player. But throughout the game, winning/losing depends on the entire team although one or two players come off as the stars of the day.

u can never really predict the outcome of WC coz one silly mistake of a player or goal keeper has the team kicked out....and thats wat happened with Brazil today.... one silly mistake... jeeezzz....

Well spoken Eliza you can never predict the world cup totally...
But I don't agree that it was on silly mistakes that caused Brazil's lost yesterday. They were not playing well at all...from the beginning of the tournament though they'd somewhat picked up...
Also, football is not a sport that is won in the last moments of the game, unless God is watching out for you or there is a huge gap between the teams.
The Brazilian coach waited for the last minutes of the game to introduce new players and change tactics...it's unforgivable.
But anyway, thought you'd be interested in this NY times article:

Actually Brazil lost because of Parreira's OVERCONFIDENCE if nothing else:
"I wasn't prepared for defeat," said Brazil's coach, Carlos Alberto Parreira. "It never crossed my mind we wouldn't come to the final. It's a very hard moment."

'...lol Eliza, Italia will kick some deutsch ass!!!...'

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....Sweetheart Italy shud start packin coz they will be kicked out of Germany this coming Tuesday 😛😛

we'll see who wins...GO GERMANY.... 😛

'...Eliza you're really into the World Cup!...'

MD,

im not really into soccer but i do enjoy watchin' WC as long as Germany is IN...
but if they lose then i lose interest in the cup too.... but itz amazing how they always make it to the semi finals atleast since 1998 when i was first introduced to the WC by my German BF 🙂

Does this mean we won't get to see you for a week?

Yes.... well as if u guyz care 😛....

jeeeez im CRAZY...why do i feel for Germany?? Im not German........

OH NO Eliza, I'm sorry 😢

so germany lost in the semi-finals today *sigh*. would have been great to be in the finals in our home country, but for some reason, i'm not that sad. semis were more than i had expected. and i felt so sorry for england, they played a great game considering they were only 10 ppl for the most part. and then they lost in the shoot out. hope france wins the cup, to give zidane the farewell he deserves (i'm not a big fan of the french team, but zidane is one of the best football-players, he has those moments of magic).

Just look at the Naked French Players & you will be fine 🙂

pisces, do you have a link to a pic of the naked french players? lol

tupeline
