Well i do actually think that when italy play you need a strong ref
Did you not see the last world cup?
as for tonight
reckon Ronaldo might hit a few tonight 4-1 to Portugal (wishful thinking?)
And i think Turkey are a good price at 2/1 to beat a Swiss team with no forwards
Not to mention greasy Spaniards, ruthles Germans, surrender monkey French, mad Turks, dour Russians, boring Swiss......absent English.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
czech 0 - 1 portugal
switz 1- 1 turkey could be a fiery game bit of history between teams remember they kicked lumps out of each other after match in a world cup qualifier not so long ago

Not to mention Hakan Yakin...switz 1- 1 turkey could be a fiery game bit of history between teams remember they kicked lumps out of each other after match in a world cup qualifier not so long ago
Did you see the 2002 WC? Italy had plenty to complain about.

First time in the championship a team has come back from behind to win. Not sure (open to correction) that the win made much difference for Turkey since they still have to beat the Czech Republic to be sure to qualify in the last game or will a draw do as they have a better goal difference than the Czechs? Swiss only did well when it was water polo. Turks deserved their win and are more passionate about football. "Turk-EE-Ev"...
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Thought Ronaldo was pretty average for Portugal yesterday, although he is an excellent finisher and it was good play to set up Quaresma for the third. And Simao has played terrible in the two games so far, don't see how anyone rates that player.
Deco put in a quality performance, the way he received the ball under pressure and skipped away from his marker time and time again was a joy to watch.
Great win for the Turks - the Swiss are extremely limited and it still hurts to think a team like that could've knocked us out of two qualifying campaigns. Now Turkey and the Czechs have the same goal difference and goals scored, I think it comes down to yellow cards if they draw - is that right?
It will go to a penalty shoot out if its a draw. THey are equal on every other criteria.

Regulations
Article 7.08 reads: "If two teams which have the same number of points, the same number of goals scored and conceded play their last group match against each other and are still equal at the end of that match, the ranking of the two teams in question will be determined by kicks from the penalty mark, provided no other teams within the group have the same number of points on completion of all group matches."
Yep, peno kicks.

Does anyone have a link to a vid of Yakan's amazing miss last night from point-blank range? Felt sorry for the guy, because I like him - but it was pretty incredible.

Portugal Czech Republic was probably the best game yet. The Czechs were a lot better than their first match. I feel like a **** for writing off the Portuguese earlier on.
Ronaldo had a very effective game. He drifted in and out but he had one very good finish and then did well to set up Quaresma. Sionko and Matejovsky both stood out in the Czech side. Plasil did well also.
The Turkey Swiss game was a funny one. The weather destroyed it in the first half and if it had kept on like that the Swiss would've one. But Turkey did very well to get back into it. I do feel sorry for Patrick Muller though. If he hadn't tried to heel the ball, Arda wouldn't have scored.
I also approve of sides that play to their strengths and for a long time, that's what Switzerland have done. If Ireland are better, they should've finished above them.
I must say, I've taken a shine to Kobi Kuhn over the years. Maybe it's because he's the spitting image of Jack Lemmon.

No, the refs can't apply 'common sense'. They apply the rules, the players should have the common sense to know them and stick to them.no it wasnt

Oh I would love that, I don't support either team but penos after 90 mins would be such drama.
What's everyones call on todays games ? I say Croatia 2 - Germany 1; Austria 1 - Poland 1.
Have you not seen a penalty shoot out before or do you not get out much then

If Croatia play as they did against Austria they will be well beaten. However, I think they will raise their game as they have the ability to put it up to Ze Germans.
I think it could be a very open and exciting game - I'll go with a 3-2 win for Croatia.
And Poland to beat Austria 3-0.
I'd say Croatia will loose 3-1 to Germany and Austria 1-1 with Poland. The Austrian team that finished against Croatia will start today, instead of Vastic. who'll I say will get on for the last half hour or so.
Pull my finger!!!
I really thought the Swiss would get out of the group stages. That has probably cost me the work competition I entered at work
This afternoons game should have plenty of goals. Croatia will improve (and they'll need to to match the Germans) and should earn a decent draw in what I hope is an exciting game.
