World Cup 2006 - Germany (World Cup ONLY)

[Krys TOFF]

Switzerland will beat Togo tonight => 4 points for Switzerland and Korea, 2 points to France and 0 for Togo.
Winning 1-0 versus togo may even not be sufficient to be qualified. Korea has a +2 goal-average versus Togo. If Switzerland does the same, then France will have to score at least 3 goals more than Togo.

That's done : Switzerland 2-0 Togo.
Goal-average for both South Korea and Switzerland is +2 now.
A draw between then could be enough for them both to be qualified if France does only +1 goal-average winning.

Anything else than a huge victory versus Togo could make France sure to be qualified, even if Koeans and Swiss do a draw.

A French victory and whatever result but a draw in the other match and France will be qualified 2nd behind the one that wins the other match.

So, main probability is a France qualified 2nd, and a 1/8 final versus Sapin, as I feared from the beginning. And this will lead to a Spanish victory 3-0 or 3-1.

Anything but a victory for France versus Togo means direct elimination for France.

too sad, but true  :cry:  :roll:

France will pass to 1/8, what can be done ? :?  Go Spain, Go!!! :lol:

Its a curse since that awfull victory against brasil in 98  :twisted:    :-D

But I do like the good football, so it would be a shame if Zidane retires that way. He dont deserve that  :!:

The usual thing again:

Group G

1 SWI 1 1 0 2-0 4
2 SCR 1 1 0 3-2 4
3 FRA 0 2 0 1-1 2
4 TOG 0 0 2 1-4 0

Last round:

Switzerland - South Corea (7-4, 5-5, 4-7): 25% - 50% - 25% (yes, they are crap)
France - Togo (5-0, 3-1, 2-3): 50% - 40% - 10% (France wins by 1 goal: 20%, 2 goals: 15%, more goals 15%)

Sure qualification:

Switzerland and South Corea need a victory.
France has to beat Togo by more than one goal to stay alive.

Depending on the other match...

Switzerland qualifies, if:

- they play a draw and France can't win by more than 2 goals
- they lose but France can't win

South Corea qualifies, if:

- they play a draw and France can't win by more than 1 goal
- they lose but France can't win

France qualifies, if:

- see up there

Chances:

Switzerland ~85%
South Corea ~70%
France ~45%

Let's not leave out the last group - it's still interesting:

Group H

1 ESP 2 0 0 7-1 6
2 UKR 1 0 1 4-4 3
3 TUN 0 1 1 3-5 1
4 SAU 0 1 1 2-6 1

Last round

Spain - Saudi Arabia (9-1, 7-2, 6-4): 60% - 30% - 10%
Ukraine - Tunesia (6-1, 4-2, 3-4): 40% - 35% - 25%

Sure qualifications

Ukraine must win.
Tunesia and Saudi Arabia has no clear way to 16.

Possibilities

Ukraine qualifies, if:

- they make a draw and Saudi Arabia can't beat Spain by 5 goals (LOL)

Tunesia qualifies, if:

- they beat Ukraine and Saudi Arabia can't beat Spain with more goals

Saudi Arabia qualifies, if:

- they beat Spain by five goals and the other match is a draw (LOL) OR they beat Spain and Tunesia beats Ukraine but with worse result

Chances

Ukraine ~75%
Tunesia ~25%
Saudi Arabia <1%

looks like Mexico its not that great!  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

if Portugal wins by more goals (3x1);
and Angola wins by 2x0 (almost happened), the "allmighty" Mexico :roll:  could return home sooner, hahaha  :twisted:

Italy or Czech Rep. could be a deception...
France too (and it wont be the first time, hahaha :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted: )... just kidding - Go France, Go! ..................home :wink:

Best luck to us all!!! :-D  :-D  :-D

[Krys TOFF]

Go France, Go! ..................home :wink:

:lol: Funny joke.
But France will be qualified by beating Togo while Switzerland will beat South Korea.
Then France will go home after being defeated by Spain during 1/8 final. It was my tip before WC beginning, it's still valid.

Sometime in this competition France may wake up and show their best football, like brasil and others.
I was thinking that this would occur in the second round, when the players became less nervous, but I was wrong.
anyway, the championship level its still a bit low  :cry:  but Im joying a lot  \/  :smt038

[Krys TOFF]

Finally an interesting group!
1 ITA 1 1 0 3-1 4
2 CZE 1 0 1 3-2 3
3 GHA 1 0 1 2-2 3
4 USA 0 1 1 1-4 1

That's right. Let's tip :
Czech Rep 3-1 Italy
Ghana 2-1 USA
Czech 1st, Ghana 2nd, Italy 3rd, USA 4th. :-D

15 minutes before the end, it seems I was half wrong.
:arrow: wrong tip : Italy leads 1-0 and Czech are 10 versus 11 Italians.
:arrow: correct tip : Ghana leads 2-1 versus USA.

[vamologocomisso]

Its settle :
27/06 - Dortmund : Brasil x Gana
Time: 17h for you europeans, 12h for us south americans  

[Krys TOFF]

Final results :
Ghana 2-1 USA
Italy 2-0 Czech Rep.
Good result for USA. Sad result for Czech...



I just received a good joke from a Swiss colleague :
23rd June 2006, 21H GMT+2 : TOGO - FRANCE
23rd June 2006, 23H GMT+2 : GOTO - FRANCE

Not optimistic for France, but funny joke anyway. :lol:
