FIFA World Cup 2006 - Germany

[Adster]

we can now say we were knocked out by the world champions int eh last 10 seconds due to a dubious call

well then it makes us feel a lot better now the wold champs had to dive to beat us!!

thank fuck the world cup is over I was getting tired of it it got ery boring with all the stupid diving if not for the aussies making it id say worst world cup ever

EPL cant wait for games are much better and free flowing

I guess we can look at it like this. We were beaten by the best, meaning we possibly could have been ranked 2nd. Considerring they had to cheat to beat us, we are infact Number 1, Number 1, Number 1!!!

I figured the country shaped like a boot would beat France.

Btw, stop being in denial.

im not in deinal at all im going by facts of what I have seen and what I think

[suprafreak6]

Zidane>Italy

agreed

[Adster]

meh I hate france more glad they didnt win it

[GoDoFCh33se]

god it must suck to go retire just because you headbutted someone. i think zidane overreacted but i guess hes still a legendary player. as for italy, congratulations. it was kinda by a fluke when italy won because of that penalty kick went in :\

That dive by Italy to win those penalties

Five for one foul outside the box seems a bit harsh though.

USA drew with Italy so that means they are in fact better than Australia, so the World ranking should look like this:

1. USA
2. Australia
3. Italy


I bet they use your type of logic to work out the FIFA rankings...

I dont agree with Ad at all...would be nice to see Australia in the top 20 by the end of the year (we can all dream).

But im sure they have used this logic to get USA to 5th in the world! =D
