click on the time and a window pops up and has a timezone calulator.(if you can't add or subtract Germany is gmt+1)

What's bullshit is my cable tv channel that's carrying all of the games has a "sister" channel that you have to pay extra for, they shows the games live. The basic channel will only show the encore presentations.

Luckily there's a couple other channels that show live games, but they won't show all of them. Just the "good" countries.


I think germany will take it. France will go far this time.(hehe) And watch out for sweden to suprise you.

A goals a goal.

Played well in the first half, then lost it due to the heat, apparently.

In the league stage, points are everything.

Great tournament so far. Trinidad & Tobbago game was very entertaining. I'm glad to see the 1000-1 underdog come out with the tie, they deserved it.

Yeah, I definitely agree.
Great game... Trinidad had such a great opportunity and a fantastic shot, too... right off the crossbar! sad.gif
Would have been nice to see a W, but oh well, right?  I can't believe the underdog tied with 10 men most of the second half.

America just got out-played. The Czech's were so much more agressive on offense, and their defence didn't give up an inch. Americans quit after they gave up that first goal, and it was just downhill from there.
 
 USA was hyped up a lot by those Nike commercials, as well as all the coverage from ESPN. Their not as good as they are supposed to be this year.
 
 I think they'll be lucky if they can even get a tie with Ghana.

Couldnt agree with you more.  They didnt really play like they wanted to win.  They got beat to every ball, passes were off, defense was letting up the whole time not challenging anyone.  It was all around bad. USA has really got to step up their game if they expect to advance.

On the side note Italy won 2-0. Would have liked to see them tie Ghana just so USA has a little less pressure.  But maybe itll be a good thing for them.

ÜBER SCHEISSE!!! There are NO nails on my fingers left. Sweden's up against the nazi's in less than 4 hours. I think we've got a good chance, but we've got the referee and 85% of the audience against us. Praise thy Lord!!!

It looks like Zlatan will start, which sucks ass, as Allbäck's in an awesome shape. Mellberg is solid. Källström is our next superstar, and eventhough he had some problems last game, I'm sure he's going to be strong in Germany's crappy midfield. Larsson finally scored, unfortunately very late in the last game but hopefully it can boost him for this game. If he starts playing well we'll win. And the most important player of them all, Fredrik Ljungberg, will continue to fight and run harder than any defender could ever dream of. And Germany's only played against crappy teams - SWEDEN IS NOT!!!!

ACHTUNG DEUTSCHLAND!!!! ELCHWARNUNG!!

I'm majorly dissapointed of course, I've never felt so "lost" before. I was afraid of Germany doing an early goal, but they made two, and when Sweden tried to get the "feel" of Germany they just kicked some viking balls. It's horrible to say the least, and Sweden should've done better. We could've come back, and we had a great chance when Larsson got the penalty. But eventhough he has more than enough experience, he looked totally fucked by the situation. I'd say there'd be a great chance if he would've scored, but the fact that he, who is the by far most respected player, missed so badly made the whole team insecure. I fucking hate team Germany, cocky assholes, but they had a better strategy and probably deserved to win. I just hope they fall badly in the next game, and I'm pretty sure they will. I will cheer for England(who unfortunately won't go very far either), and Argentina, who I believe will win.

 Ref was terrible. 16 bookings? Way to many. It got to the point where the players were so upset with the ref, that they kept on making aggresive tackles out of frustration.
 
 USA played terrible all tournament. 4 shots on goal for the entire tournament. A baby fetus could have been playing goalie for the opposing team, and it still could have made for three difficult games for the US.

That was one of the dirtiest things I have ever seen in my ENTIRE soccer career.  HORRIBLE.  And from such a good and respected player in the World Cup Finals?
