Kewell a little wishful

redmarkYankees · 06-18-2006, 02:27 PM

I think Australia are fairly ordinary actually, and are being made to look good by a relatively poor Brazil side.

I am worried and Im hoping that Ghana gives us the usual footie disrespect and we play a very good game.

Ronaldo out for Robinho...the average weight of Brazil players on the field drops a couple pounds.

bababui · 06-18-2006, 02:34 PM

I love the Aussie audaciousness...its fun to watch em

theasfl · 06-18-2006, 02:35 PM

the defender messes up a bicycle then walks back towards his goal while he left his man open to volley a ball just over the bar...

theasfl · 06-18-2006, 02:38 PM

spectacular save off a spectacular shot

bababui · 06-18-2006, 02:41 PM

should that last one even have been a corner?

redmarkYankees · 06-18-2006, 02:41 PM

This is turning out to be a very weak group, in my opinion. Croatia are past it, Japan are toothless, Australia are hardworking but ordinary going forward. Brazil just don't look fluid (Ze Roberto/Kaka excepted). The top 2 from group E should fancy their chances against any of these, Brazil included. Brazil's best chance (which is sort of how 2002 worked) is that sides are wary of them; if you give them space and time, they do have the quality to create something. Sides like Argentina, Spain, Holland etc look much more fluent at the moment though.

soooo closeee!!!

Even in Robinho replaces Ronaldo??

redmarkYankees · 06-18-2006, 02:43 PM

Kewell is such a bloody wimp. World Cup Finals, 6 minutes to go, ball a couple of feet in front of you - shall I hurl myself at it (head or foot), or raise an arm and claim a corner?

theasfl · 06-18-2006, 02:44 PM

I cant remember Brazil being so constantly pressured in my lifetime.

It'll improve them a little, but not totally. They have weaknesses elsewhere too, and don't play a quick enough tempo. A quick passing team like Argentina or Holland could cut this team apart, IMO.

The Funk · 06-18-2006, 02:48 PM

They need to drop Ronaldo.
