World Cup 2006 - Germany (World Cup ONLY)

[vamologocomisso]

lets stay focus on the topic, because some others topics about football were contamined(a word that akoss like, hehehe) by all kinds of sttuff besides football. Its true that hungarian volleyball and danish handball or even brasilian "cuspe" competition are very interesting and all, but how about not talking about these great sports here ?  :evil:  :cry:  :-D  :-D

Im really excited abou the beginning of another world cup and Im about to quit my job so I could watch every game, hehehe (im not macho enough

well, I will put my predictions bellow, and I must say that I would love to commit lots of mistakes, because this is the beauty about the biggest sport event ever.

Let us see the last, youngest results of the Croatian team (2005, 2006) :

1:1 Croatia : Brasil
3:2 Croatia : Argentina
2:1 Croatia : Italy
2:2 Croatia : France
4:1 Croatia : Austria
1:0 Croatia : Sweden (2 times)
3:1 Croatia : Bulgaria
...

P.S. Italy never won against us, we played 5 times, 3 victories. I think they hate us

P.S. Vamologocomisso, you should renew your prediction list

I guess most of Hungarians like Croatian team. Me too. Although my favorite from your country was Suker.

[Mislav]

Oh yeah... Suker...the best goalgater of 1998 World Cup. We miss him also But the new generation of players is taking its shape, we have a good team also. I hope our small country can surprise some giant nations on this world cup!

[BonzaiJoe]

My favourite was Zvonimir Boban...

Also, one of Denmark's most famous goals was scored against Croatia, the famous wind goal :-)

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

BJ i remember that goal that was hilarious

my favourite Croatian player was Robert Jarni

my favourite Croatian goal is also from him: of course against Germany (3-0) in 1998 :D:D

and yes i also like the Croatian team

Remember 2002. How I liked the results of Uruguay, Senegal, Denmark, France group...  :-D  

[vamologocomisso]

Mislav, I respect Croatia alot, and its the strongest team besides brazil in our group, but like I explained before, I like the surprises that allways occur in world cups, and I just tryed to discover wich ones would happen (bad for croatia in my prediction, hehehe, maybe bad for brazil in reality, but I really dont think so

Kryss, France was the biggest deception I ever saw in world cups, in 2002. Maybe Im still mad because 1998 and I hate the french football team ever since (its problably this), and the french normaly play well against european and (sadly) against south american, but not so well against asian and african. And I have to say that the last friendly game france played (I think it was one or two weeks ago. It was a 0 x 0 and horrible game), it was again bellow my expetation, mainly because of trezeghet and henry and their midle-field companions.

Once again I repeat: I hope to commit many mistakes in my predictions (except for brasil performance, hehehe).

Just one thing its NOT acceptable: Argentina and France may NOT win the tittle!!!  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

Its really amazing all those results against strong teams!
But you know that its not rare that some teams play very efficient before the tournament and when it start...  :cry: . Im not cheering against croatia (not yet :roll: ), but its statistics, like the opposite of this = some teams play awfully before the championship and with the ferocity of the real thing... :shock:

well, sometimes its even an (maybe dirty) strategy, I dont know... :!:

conclusions:
- the game only its finished when its finished;
- Im really excited to begin

WHATS GONNA HAPPEN Im dying here
:?  :shock:  :cry:  :oops:  :cry:  :shock:  :oops:  :cry:  :shock:  :?

[Mislav]

So many Croatian fans here, wow, I'm so happy you all, especially our Hungarian neighbours, should make holidays this summer in Croatia! Swimming in the see, watching world cup and nice girls in bikinis. And a lot of drinking

Everything here is already in the world cup fever, everybody's talking about it, everybody takes vacations for the World Cup period, the TV sellings jumped 40% up only because of the upcoming football matches on the program!

Of course Vamologo, I understand your way of predicting I also like surprises from the "underdogs", like Euro2004 when Greece won, and they were predicted in gambling as the weakest team of the championship!!

About Brasil - it will not be a surprise if you stay world champion. It is always nice to see how you play, really PLAY football, most of others just WORK football

My prediction: Brasil or the Netherlands as world champions!

And of course Croatia

[vamologocomisso]

most of others just WORK football

exactly!!! :cry:
I dont like the german, the english, the most of tall teams(like norway), because they play an "ugly" football. The word you used was perfect - they WORK (all caps like you) football. Some others european teams play that way in many games, like italy (now they are saying that their team is all about offense and nice play, lets see), france sometimes (their defense is something marvelous, I must say), and many others.

Some teams just dont have any technique, and dont deserve the "work football" definition, altough they dont play nicely.

Of course england played some awesome games in world cups (who can forget that game against argentina, one of the best, or against brasil).

Mislav, its true that croatia is know like the european brasil ?
You sure play a nice and enjoyable football.
Im starting to consider to change my predictions about croatia, hehehe ;-)

[Mislav]

Hehe, the European Brasil sounds good... I heard it somewhere already, but we are not as good as that yet to be called so. I really enjoy our way of playing but the problem is, if we have to strong opponent (Brasil for example , we loose the simplicity of PLAYing...then it becomes WORK haha!! But our team couch is WORKING on that problem

[vamologocomisso]

Mislav, Mislav..... what hapened with croatia ?

A draw with loss flavor. :twisted:

At 52 minutes of second half tsc tsc tsc :twisted:
and a legitime goal wrongly anuled by the referee.

hummm, yellow signal had lightned :roll:

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

I guess Brazil and Holland will play the final, and the Brazilians will win by 2-1. Italy will take the bronze. Don't know if it's possible or not, it's just a guess without watching schedule.
