3-2! Wanchope exposes the German defense again for his second. Game on? (73 minutes)

Smart play by Frings to fake an injury and break CR momentum

Sdpm100 · 06-09-2006, 02:36 PM

I know, I hate it when players do that, especially when those who are really injured badly have to wait for a stoppage in play as the other team doesn't always kick the ball out as they think he's faking it like the others.

And Klose won't get a chance for the hattrick as Neuville's come on to try and nullify the CR attacking outlets.

theasfl · 06-09-2006, 02:45 PM

holy goal from Frings

bababui · 06-09-2006, 02:45 PM

Amazing goal!!

Sdpm100 · 06-09-2006, 02:45 PM

Frings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sdpm100 · 06-09-2006, 02:52 PM

And Frings' screamer from 35 yards is the final goal - 4-2 is the final

theasfl · 06-09-2006, 02:52 PM

Germany 4, Costa Rica 2. Final.

thomasthomas · 06-09-2006, 02:57 PM

Pretty amazing opener, and a lot different than Senegal v France 4 years ago.

Frings has the #1 goal of the WC so far.

Dougiestyle · 06-09-2006, 03:13 PM

Amazing shot from Frings

No doubt. Not only was Wanchope offside, but so was another of his teammates. Game should have been 4-0. Wanchope was offside on both his goals.

No he wasn't. After the game they showed with a line on the screen that Wanchope was onside on both occasions. And in his second goal, although his teammate was in an offside position, if the referee/assistant didn't think he was "active" (interfering with play) it couldn't have been offside.

So in that case both goals were rightly awarded.

EDIT: to clarify the second goal and rule

Now that's what international soccer should look like. Hopefully mroe teams will adopt an attacking mentality. If Germany can go all out, anyone can.

Sdpm100 · 06-09-2006, 03:59 PM

Somehow, I get the feeling that this game may not be quite so popular.
