So happy to see Ronaldo score again :dancing: :dancing: :victory: :applaud:

i'm a bit happy with that too, though sad that japan is beaten to a pulp.
but i still think that ronaldo can do nothing much when they are facing bigger teams in the knockout stage.
but i dont really like the way the commentators making fun of ronaldo. they are treating him like he's a disabled person or something.

It wasn't Ronaldo who was great, it was the crappy Japanese defending. like the 1-1: nobody was marking or anywhere near Ronaldo :grumble:

be that as it may there was no way the Japan was going to hold up against that offenseive onslaught...the Japanese initially played well but i knew they wouldn't hold up against 90 minutes of Brazilian soccer.

21 shots on goal AND 11 corner kicks.....Kawaguchi was working overtime today....

Australia draws 2-2 with Croatia and goes into the next round! YAY!!

Bad luck Japan :(

Aw... that's so awesome! But I know baseball is a bigger deal over there than anything else. They tried so I give them props for that... major! :applaud:

Brazil VS. Ghana is next Monday... heh heh heh... I'm just happy Ghana made it to Round 2! Maybe with a few more cups things will turn around for the less famous countries.

There were some great zings in the paper re: US vs Ghana.

One newspaper headline wrote:
Going, going, Ghana

Some US soccer fan wrote:
[paraphrased] The US showed glimpses of brilliance, sandwiched between hours and hours of mediocrity.

:lol: HAHAHAHA. Great stuff.

almost as lovely as the headline when the Americans got blasted by the Czech republic

REALITY CZECH FOR THE U.S.: CZECH REPUBLIC 3 USA 0
