In 30 mins. Mexico will meet Argentina on a friendly match.
As many of you know, Argentina has a 'world cup' level when it comes to soccer, meaning it has been world champion many times,
so lets see how Mexico does this time, I want to be confident
of my team, but Argentina, well, its something. :unsure:
Here inMexico it will be aired in varius networks,
I don't know about the rest of the world, but it could be a good
match by the looks of it.
Let me know how it turnes out because here in the U.S we dont get a lot of soccer (football). Hope mexico wins :clover: la raza :01:
lol... Its over now,
the final score was: 1 - 1.
I thought it would be worst.
i dont understand...no1 wins?Quote:

Or you could look at the circumstance of the teams involved; if one team is higher in the league, for example, then to get one point out of the game could be considered a victory of sorts - the team higher in the league may consider the solitary point to be an insufficiant reward.
In this case (Mexico Vs Argentina) the game was a friendly, meaning it wasn't part of a competition, therefore the main goal of the teams would have been to try different players, new tactics and so forth. The result is unimportant, to an extent.
Altho' many fans don't see it that way.
So, that's as clear as mud now, eh.
Damn, that was exelently put 'manker'!
Hey, might I ask how do you know it? or did you
googled for it?
Its pritty much common knowledge in the UK and other Footballing countrys. Like this week one of the best teams drew 0-0 with a bad team and in the race for the championship when they need to win pritty much every point they saw it as a lose of 2 points, where as the worse team who were fighting to stay above the bottem few teams saw it as a massive victory because they gained a point of one of the best teams in the world.Quote:

I didn't google it. I didn't think I put it that well, Peerzy's is probably more succinct - but I did feel Ziggy deserved an answer after me being a bit sarky earlier in the thread.Quote:

I guess I tend to forget that European people like soccer too,
what Im trying to say is that here in mexico, its the No. 1 sport, unlike the US.
But when I come to think of it, Europe's soccer is considered the best in the world, at least by many people I know here, many of them would rather watch the "EuroCup" than the "Copa America"...
well, it's good to know I'll have some one to talk during the Germany 2006 WorldCup",
in this forum.
And I know I can speak to Peerzy about the Champions League at least :lol:
Correct me if I'm wrong, young Dan, but isn't this Chelsea's first foray into the later stages of the CL since ... well .. it's their first foray into the later stages of the Champions League.
A little humility wouldn't go amiss :dry:
Yes it is their first foray and they are doing really well.
Wouldn't it be funny if they won it first time round? :tehshame:
Its probably also worth mentioning it was a Chelsea player that scored both the goals that knocked Man U out
enough now i think :P
No :mellow:Quote:
