Haha that was truly great

Is that keeper perchance Hans-Jorg Butt? I remember he's the German keeper who takes penos and used to play for Hamburg, think he went to Leverkusen on a free if my Champ Man knowledge serves me correctly so I'm pretty sure its him

hilarious! did da ref let the goal stand?

[Kayzee]

yea its the bayern leverkusen keeper in one of their domestic games, dead ball specialist - like the Sao Paulo keeper.
and the goal did stand - in the refs eyes the keeper was " on the pitch" would have been really contaversial if it was in the champions league knock out stage or sumin but funny none the less.

less than 24hrs to go folks...... its getting all exciting (am xtrmly bored of da whole rooney fiasco tho).....

neway, 2mro at dis time...... germany will b playing costa-rica......its such a shame ballack is out.....so, any predictions? i say 2-0 to the host nation.

and wot abt poland-ecuador? 2-2

post-match analysis are more then welcome...... well, i gues dis is wot dis forum is for...... let da games begin

[chadtnl]

The first game of the world cup and playing at home, I would say that Germany will not allow for any nasty surprises! I say 3-0. Two of these will be scored by Podolski and one by Schweisteiger (the spelling is probably wrong! sorry).
As for Pol-Ecu. The poles are 100-1 for the whole thing, as for Ecu they are 200-1. If this is anything to go by, u would have to say Pol hands down but this is where I would like to see the fisrt upset. i'm going Ecuador 2-1.

day1 gone already!!!!
germans looked good going forward but their defensive system was school-boy.... they didnt knew if they were coming or going.... and no cover from mid-field either..... they wont have any problems in their group but in the next round, if they faced persumably england/sweden...... they wont have a prayer!!!!

lahm and kuntz goals were good but i think it was more to do with the way the ball is floating in the mid-air rather than player's technical ability......we r going to see many more goals like these, which i dont know is a good thing or bad!?!?!?!

lampard/gerrard would be jumping with joy seeing the way ball moves

so any predictions for 2days games?

england-paraguay...... 3-1 eng
sweden-T&T..... 4-0 swedes
argentina-ivory coast.... this is gona b da best game so far..... 3-2 argies
