Got beat 3-2 by Slovakia. Finished bottom of their group which had Slovakia, Paraguay and New Zealand. France the other finalists of 2006 are out too.

Puts things into perspective doesn't it???

Cracking game though, mental drama at the end.

 

They were shite too, until the last 10mins.

 

What a 10 minutes though, great stuff.

 

Awesome game. The end was anyway. Was uber-unlucky to be ruled offside, even if he actually was by the letter of the law. He didn't get any benefit from bending forward slightly. I'd have given him the benefit of the doubt after they'd already had one decision go against the them on uncertainty.

 

Only saw the last thirty minutes or so, but was a hell of a good game then. Italy looked like they were for it, but fought back and perhaps deserved to pull level.

Credit to Slovakia though, nice to see a good upset, the tournament has lacked drama so far in a lot of games.

 

Wow two big upsets there!

 

was a very good game last 10 mins was fun to watch lol and seves them right really they took shite players and the best ones where on the bench so gutted for them

 

Capello should have a word with the Italians, see when they are heading back home. He might be able to catch the same flight as them if they wait until Sunday.

 

its so hard to predict how the world cup will go down
i wouldnt be surprised see spain make an early exit tommorow either,they got a tough game

 

i say holland vs argentina final

 

i think we going see real a dark horse in the final this time
one of these four uraguay,mexico,chile or england

 

The goal by Quagliarella at the end was jaw dropping! Chip from there!!!

 

i can see england beating germany but argentina i carnt but your right there are some lowwer teams that got good draws

 

Wonder what flight the welsh manager should get. Oh that's right, he hasn't left wales due to an utterly shit team better luck in 4 years time

Shame for Italy

How good do Japan look though

 

that goal

 

what about hondas goal then what a free kick and that endo japan look strong

 

.

 

Yeah! and the second freekick wasn't too shabby either!

 

I don't care about football, But this comment from the interweb made me lol

 

Could be a good shout there.

I think its crazy that one of Uruguay, Ghana, South Korea or Yanks will reach the semi finals of the World cup.


Yes both awesome weren't they. First one Ronaldo whack like and the second more of a Beckham technique curler. Japs were brilliant.
