I watched the game. Brazil could have won by 5... Neymar is going to be amazing.
Brazil should be allowed like 3 national teams cause its a shame that all these players would start on any other country lol

Chicarito 1 - 0 Spain within 10 mins. He can't stop scoring.

Already posted in the Bundesliga thread, but here we go:

Germany 2 : 2 Denmark

Gomez, Helmes, Rommedahl and Juncker (sp?).

Germany played guys like Schulz, Schäfer, Riether and Hunt. Total waste of time...

[AdamTheGreek]

Greece took down the Serbs 0-1 behind a nice Salpiggidis header as the Fernando Santos coaching era has kicked off.

[BlackMamba]

Mexico 1-1 Spain.

Chicharito scored Mexico's goal, and like j-far points out, he can't stop scoring. I think he has 6 games scoring in a row.

About the game, boring as hell!!!!

[Stretch82]

Turkey 2-0 Romania

Game was boring, both teams struggled, no fluent play whatsoever and a wrong penalty call decided the game.

[IronChef]

Gerrard scores two great goals and England wins. They looked far better than at the World Cup, but they didn't really set the bar too high at that point.

Haven't commented on it yet but USA looked bad against Brazil. Very ugly and I'm really pissed that MLS is holding Landon hostage...

[Smoove]

Didn't I make a thread like this before? I think its on some old ass pages.

[Lionel Messi]

Argentina vs. Spain next week. Should be a good one.

[5DOM]

Argentina owning Spain. 2-0 already

[Lionel Messi]

4-1 Argentina.

Mascherano and Cambiasso were wonderful together (REALLY wanted Cambiasso to play in the WC).

That one run by Messi from like 55 yards away and then the through ball to Di Maria that got called offside was MAGIC, along with his goal obviously.
Banega needs some work but he (along with Pastore) can be a solid replacement for Riquelme.

Some good signs in this match.

[5DOM]

Brazil vs Argentina in less than 2 hrs

[Lionel Messi]

Brazil vs Argentina in less than 2 hrs

Probable Teams:

Brazil

Victor, Daniel Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Andre Santos; Lucas, Ramires, Elias, Ronaldinho Gaucho; Neymar, Robinho.

Argentina

Romero; Zanetti, Pareja, Burdisso, Heinze; Banega, Mascherano, Pastore; Messi, Higuaín, Di María

Banega hasn't been in terrific form lately, hopefully he can take on some of Cambiasso's duty despite not being a CDM. Glad to see that Demichelis probably isn't playing.

[Lionel Messi]

MEEEEESSSSSSSIIIIIIII
Game winning goal 92nd minute.

Lavezzi was brilliant when he came on, assisted the game winner but such a typical Messi goal.

[5DOM]

Couldn't watch the Game. How did Ramires, Neymar and Luiz play?

[Lionel Messi]

Couldn't watch the Game. How did Ramires, Neymar and Luiz play?

Ramires was Ramires...a scrub.

Neymar was very dangerous, although he is a diver and didn't finish plays off once he got in a dangerous position.

Luiz was good, very physical, a bit dirty.

[5DOM]

has got to be one of the worst lineups in recent memory.

[Lionel Messi]

Ronaldo was robbed of a beauty goal in that first half. Nani is such a moron, heading it in off the goal line when it's going it.

He was ruled offside. Selfish idiot.
