Deco will play,   will not play,   will play,   will not play,  DECO DID NOT PLAY against Angola, and we still won, LOL !!  The Portugal side that played against Mexico is the one that England will face.  Very  GRIM for England.   Mexico  is a FAR better team than England and they lost 2-1 against us.  Kinda makes you think...  doesn't  it really  ?!  And for those who have said that Fig ACTED, the face injury needs to be seen the frame by frame in the replay on DVD... Figo had a chicken egg size injury on the right size of his face, just below the eye.  -Ronaldo was injured only SEVEN minutes into the game.  -Ricardo, after successfully defending a kick, is on the ground when that Dutch a_s kicks Ricardo in the b_lls long moments AFTER the ball was gone. You need to see the match and the incidents frame by frame to understand that hose were Portuguese MEN reacting naturally to uncalled for aggression and violence. BY ALL MEANS ATTACK US, BUT TELLS IN ADVANCE THAT THOSE ARE YOUR INTENTIONS  so that we can kick your asses back, LOL !! Otherwise it is cowardice to hide behind the SKIRTS of the referee... ain't that the truth !!! Come on, reasonable men... you know it makes sense !!!

I saw the match, and on the contrary of what princess spa said the egyptians were doing fine in the first half of the match but on the second was not that good but ivory coast were main concerned to make problems as what derocpa did by pulling the hair of one of the egyptian players and theywere trying latter to kick from behind the ref, that's why they took more than 3 yellow cards.\nThe penalties was great for the egyptians who deserved to earn the cup, their playing was not that great was fine but they were insisting on the cup that's why they gained it. and not to forgot El Hadarry the goal keeper who was great at the match

If we are considering the current world cup finalist, I dont see it happening. However, judging by the performance of African players in Europe and other parts of the world, it is likely that one of the countries would probably suprise the world soon. The exposure and experience is really helping develop african football. The major impediment however is the FA in the african countries. They either lack knowledge of what it takes to win a crucial competition or are too greedy and selfish/dont really care if their country perform well or not.

They may not be able to replay the game, but one would think and expect it would certainly be within their power to overturn the result, whether under protest or not. It's just that they wouldn't. Such is FIFA's arrogance at times. They are very lack to accept any criticism or have their decisions questioned.

I think it's an excellent idea. It will be great to bring a little bit of national spirit to the game and watch different countries have a friendly competition with one another. i would love to see it grow into something big like the world cup of soccer. I'm really excited about it and i hope it turns out to be a success.

Errm, before we talk about the AIDS situation or even crime situation in South Africa, we have to put things in perspective.\n\n1. The award wasn't given this year, but 7 years before the event, in 2003.\n2. South Africa were supposed to win in 1999, but I believe a NZ delegate abstained at the last and Germany won. \n3. Sepp Blatter then announced the Cup would be hosted by each different Confederation on rotation, and after Europe in 2006, Africa would get the nod.\n\nSo, South Africa had a lot of emotional pull to get this Cup, in 1999, when they felt they should get it, I believe they were eliminated in the penultimate stage and promised by alot of delegates that they would have support in the next vote.\n\nSo AIDS and crimes, were never going to sway the voting crowd when the vote came up in 2003, it was always going to be South Africa from Africa, as the richest nation with only Egypt or maybe Morocco having a chance.\n\nAnd that's why South Africa got it, but sticking to your theory, I think the World Cup is going to be a boost rather than a bane for Africa. \n\nThe sheer magnitude of the tournament will make highlight the problems of AIDS, crime and others in South Africa. The government will act and FIFA will play it's part in helping this out, in the media relations side.

Who said the wavers of the St ASBO flag would win at all?\n\nTheir first, much jubilated game, was won by scoring no goal at all (twas an own goal by the opponents) and not much in the way of international classy football ensued after that.\nThe loss of Owen will hardly be noticed as he played like a wet rag in the German heat.  Didn't see much from the short metatarsal saving performance of Rooney and as long as Gerrard and a couple of others are in then the chances are maintained.\n\nWin?  Methinks Argentina and Switzerland have more chance and keep an eye on Oz tonight.  \n\nIf Japan were to beat Brazil (don't laugh - 60% think France will be out tomorrow and tip Switzerland to be in), then Australia could be first with a 3:0 win over Croatia [the points would be equal and goal difference better than BRA due to their losing].\n\nOz retains second place with a draw or better against Croatia as\nlong as Japan do not win AND improve their goal difference by more than 2.\n\nThe line up for the 1/8th finals looks presently like this:\n\n8th Finals  \nGER : SWE  = either/or\nARG:MEX     = ARG\nENG:ECU     = ECU with a good chance\nPOR:NED    = NED\nITA:AUS       = AUS (if ITA continue at present rate)\nSUI:UKR      = SUI\nBRA:CZE     = BRA or CZE is shoot out\nESP:KOR    = The Spanish win\n\nWith all at a draw, England wouldn't even be in the 1/4 finals but, with a win (even if on a shoot out where N Europeans have better nerves than Latinos), the 1/4 finals could be\n\nGER : ARG  wowo super match but GER with cooler heads\nAUS : SUI     The Swiss would win\nENG : NED  The Dutch would win\nBRA : ESP   Super match again with the Spanish winning\n\nSo my tip for the 1/2 finals is GER : NED and SUI : ESP\nBoth good matches and all capable of winning when looking at this year's results and games.  \n\nWho wins if Germany play the Dutch.  Anybody's guess.\n\nThe Swiss could re-find their old glory and drive the Spanish to distraction with their (SUI) "delay and disturb" tactics so that they could win or force a shoot out (where the Spanish are at a latin disadvantage)\n\nGreat watching to come folks\n\nFP

From what I heard from the commentators, the Ghanaian player plays in Israel for a club there. It was a tribute to the club and the supporters there. In no way was it a political act.

No way its to much wot the hell were fifa thinking, the only reason the ban was so long its coz the fifa president is Swiss and why the hell did they give emre a ban. fifa are idiots

Yes, I think that would be a rightful decision. There are others that toiled against much harder opponents and do not get to play. The U.S.A are only playing because in the qualification round, they face countries which only have like a 1 million population, and no wonder they win. Others deserve it more....!

Nah!! Beckham just got lucky with that free-kick. Did you see Posh jumping up and down in the satdium it was hilarious!! I definately think they deserve to be in the World Cup but only up to their match against Ecuador! Ecuador should've won!! As I said Beckham just got lucky!! Portuguese will reduce the English side to ashes and the wind will blow them all the way back to England!

Fixed in whose favour?????????\nFrom what I have just learnt about this card happy referee, that I don't think either team may benefit from, especially the Australian side.\n\nAddition: Since when has FIFA ever made a decision that favours us or done the Socceroo's any favours.

Yes that was the way , but fifa changed a few things this time round, its all to do with the comercial side of it. Brazil had to qualify for the tournament even though they are the champions. Thay know that with |Brazil in the qualifing rounds fifa will get more tv money from around the world. Fifa and sepp blatter suck horses c**k.
