far much better than the first of their games...\nRonaldinho was Ok, didnt give his all....\nOverall.. a good team effort...\nBut as before... Ronaldo is Finished... he must go back to the Amazon.. buy a big boat and start fishing... may be then he can lose some weight in the hot and humid rain forest...

In normal time Argentina was dominating the game, with tight defense and interesting scoring opportunities. Germany was able to get some scoring opportunities, specially from crossings, nothing new actually.\n\nBut Jose Pekerman wanted to strength defense and keep a 1-0 win, and put Cambiasso instead of Riquelme, the offensive power lost there. Then Argentina's great goalie got hurt and had to be replaced by the other guy, who I never saw playing.\n\nThen he made an stupid move by making his last substitution, taking away Crespo and putting some other guy I don't know.\n\nGermany drawed, with a goal given to Klose, probably to get the most goals, with a head crossing and Klose finished with a good heading. He was being completely useless so far because of Argentina's great defense, and the goalie didn't jump to get that ball, which the main goalie would CERTAINLY get it before close, since the head-crossing was slow.\n\nArgentina lost because their keeper got hurt imho, I feel relieved we will face Germany in the finals now though, I thought the game would be even but Argentina played alot better, Germany got lucky, very lucky. Brazil will not put their best offensive players out, and the german defense looked very confused against a strong team.

A sad day indeed... Besides the fact that he was the best natural goalscorer in the history of the game, he was a model for a sportsman's behaviour as well. A rascal with the ball, and a true gentleman after the final whistle - an example for kids both on and off the pitch.\n\nBut don't give in to sadness, my friends! Let us celebrate his god given talent and recall magical moments from his outstanding carreer. There are many of them... I'm quite sure that's what his message would be like. Let the legend live on!\n\nBon voyage, Puskás Ferenc, we will miss you a lot

Stupid Van Basten kicked him out of the netherland\n\nlook\n\nThere were also calls for Van Basten to call up Dennis Bergkamp who had retired from the national team 6 years earlier for a final hurrah as he was retiring that season. Van Basten then revealed to the media that he never intended to do so despite Bergkamp's own willingness and the national team's lack of a playmaker.\n\nAs a coach, he soon established himself as a man of strong principles. Van Basten famously dropped superstars like Clarence Seedorf, Patrick Kluivert, Edgar Davids and Roy Makaay, benched Mark van Bommel, because all five were either past their prime, injured, or constantly underachieving. and even van nistelrooy now

OMG, JUVENTINA, I TOTALLY AGREE. :) i mean, hes such a great player and not that many people know him! i dont know why! :/ youre right, he doesnt get the recognition he deserves, he deserves a standing ovation for his 200th goal! :) hes the best, and i love him! its really sad cause people dont know him as well as they know other players that arent even as good as he is! it makes me so mad! :/\n\nlol, i saw that game, the one he made his 200th goal. :) hes so cute!

I was so touched when Kahn was talking to Lehmann before the pk's :).  I think Lehmann did a good job of anticipating the goals and in general he is a superb GK.  It doesn't mean that if you're a really good goalie you have to save every SINGLE shot.  He predicted correctly and saved 50%, which is a lot better than most goalies could say for themselves.\n\nGood job Lehmann! :)

Wake -up call for all present:  Ronaldo was just replaced in the 69th minute.  He's a little overweight and not performing that well.\n\nKlose is now an easy pick seeing as he already has 2 under his belt - no-brainer and #1 favorite.  Same goes for Rosicky.  \n\nCrespo - maybe.\n\nDrogba more than likely won't make it past the next round.  \n\nOwen also left the pitch earlier than planned - as soon as Rooney is healthy again, he can go back to Newcastle for a long vacation.\n\nHenry also needs to make it into the half-finals.  They won't.\n\nRaul maybe\n\nShev maybe\n\nVan Nistelrooy longshot, but feasable\n\nAnd now the player you forgot:  Ronaldinho.  He will win the Golden Boot 2006.

I'm hoping Nakamura, just because he's the rising star.  Topalov is by far the better player - he's got 80 elo points on Kramnik, plus he's been way more active and is in better health.  Clearly he's the overall better player, and I hope (not that it'll happen) that he dominates the (mini)match in september.

I'm watching Portugal -1 vs 0- Kazakhstan, Portugal is all over Kazakhstan.\n\nEdit:  C Ronaldo just scored. 2-0\n\nC Ronaldo, Deco and Simao are playing a stellar game with beautiful strategy.\nIt isn't Nuno Gomes' night, he missed 3 good chances and the poor guy has the crowd booing.\n\nSimao has one more, it should really be 6- nil.\n\nIt is 20h10 and I am finally watching France vs Greece, Hector why didn't you tell me that Zidane was in the crowd, they zoomed on him for a long time.

I'm Dutch fan as well, I think the game was a complete mess. The referee was awful, and the Dutch team was worse. Why Rudd didn't play, I dont' know. The kind of match that it was, I think he would have made some kind of impact. KUYT played really bad. I knew it was going to be a low scoring game, I just thought it would be ther other way, not how it ended.

Yes, that Fernando is certainly LOOKING good ;).\n\nWell in all seriosity, I think Spain's 1st half was kind of shaky, but luckily they picked up 2nd half.  I really want them to maybe get to finals but it's still a bit iffy.  Good chance, though!

i was totally blown away by his performance against spain. like everyone else said, never pin down a football icon, coz they always have something up their sleeves - especially one who's playing each match as if it's his last. he looked like he was really having fun tonight, i think that's why he played so well. i really hope he just gets better for the match against brazil though i bet he'll be a tightly marked man that night. brazil could've never forgetten what the "magician" did to them 8 years ago. hail ZIZOU!!!!\n\noooh..and that last goal by him was MARVELOUS!! i love that man's dribbling skills.. puyol never stood a chance against him. from the words of Simao Sambrosa "Goalkeepers become anxious just seeing him touching the ball."

Revelation with a lot of potencial.Fiorentina has found a reliable weapon in their attack the thing that remains to be seen is if he can keep up to his current form.So only time will tell,but up to today he has definately played some huge games...

you are right,it was steve davis.\n\nit was in the lada cars classic in 1982 against john spencer.which is a coincidence cos john spencer made the first ever 147 in a major tournament,which was held in slough in 1979,but not televised.\n\nall steve got for his was a lada car!\n\nnext player was cliff thorburn,the first man to do it in the world championship.his break started with a fluked red.\n\nthen kirk stevens did it against jimmy white in the semi-final of world championships.\n\nhowever like most people you are under the mis-apprehension that a 147 is a maximum,although i can forgive you for thinking this as even the commentators and players themselves,call a 147,a maximum.\n\nhowever the maximum break possible in snooker is 155!\nunlikley,but if you got a free ball with all 15 reds still on table, you could take a colour as a red,then a black,and still have 147 points left on table.\n\nthere have been many 16 red clearances,but nobody as yet has managed 155.\n\nthe highest ever score has been achieved twice by different players and stands at 151.

I agree. He cheated in a vital match when he used his hand.\nHe is good but not great like Pele, George Best & that ilk.
