Well, yes, my underwear had a nice brown color earlier today but they got through. Del Piero, Panucci, Cannavaro (who saved 2 goals) had great games. I really like Montella playing with Del Piero and Vieri.
Totti did not show up. this guy has no heart and he looked like he could care less. When the opposite team keeps a shadow on him throughout the game and doesn't give him enough space he just doesn't perform. I feel bad for Trappatoni because the poor guy used his whole bench and couldn't buy a goal. I would really like to see Del Piero become the hero for Italy in this WC same way Baggio and Toto were in the past. He really deserves it.
Hope Portugal loses or ties. No need to play thme in the round of 16.

I do and maybe if you played some soccer you wouldn't have those chicken legs that you bitch about.
Did you see some of quads and calves on those players? That's what I call quads and calves. Some of the calves I saw looked freaky!!! Gotta love freaky calves.

The first 5 Minutes of the US / Poland game....
Poland gave the US Defenders a "CLINIC" on penetration and Shots in the box.
I'm was sitting in the GYM sweaty and waiting to Shower watching this game.
People were walking by me as I stared at the TV looking at me like "WHAT THE HELL IS HE WATCHING"?
The US Midfield was doing excellent ball movement in midfield, but when they got near the Poland Goal, their Defenders would collapse in front leaving few open shots.

U.S., South Korea through, Portugal out.
Donovan's (unfairly) disallowed goal in the fourth minute pretty much doomed the U.S. Poland scored on the restart and that was that. For the remaining 85 minutes, Poland played the defend and counter game which they did well.
I don't know about the clinic part, Y Lifter. Poland had a dream start, that's all. They certainly relished having nothing to play for. The U.S. dominated the match with 65% of the possession and 15 shots to Poland's 7, but it was all set up by the two early goals.
Sorry about Portugal, Varnsen, but again don't blame the U.S. Your guys had been playing together since 1988 or so. They should have been ready to play from the start, but seemed to be looking ahead to the later rounds.
What should have happened is South Korea should have beaten the U.S. and then Portugal would have advanced on goal differential, but still - if Portugal had taken care of their own business they wouldn't be checking their bags for Lisbon.

I feel bad for Portugal but they play as individuals and not asa team. Korea took it to them the entire game including when they were playing at full strength. I still think it's a choking job on their part. All they needed was a tie and they couldn't get it.
The US really showed their colors today. THEY STINK! USA/Mexico know each other well but i don't see the US coming out on top.
Italy/Korea should be a great game but i don't see how they'll score against an Italian defense when they couldn't score on 5 breakaways at the end and most of the second half against 2 defenders. We will see!
