anyone know what the deal was with the Ghanian player waving around the Israeli flag, did he have a momentary lapse and forget what country he was playing for.

it was a sign of respect

I would love to now myself because as far as African jews go its Ethiopian Jews that are known. Not Ghanaian.

Still nice to see a few Bob marley flags in the Ghanaian crowd. Well, I mean Bob's face on Ghanaian flags.

the only logical thing I can think of is that player plays with Maccabi Tel Aviv, so there is a connection there

Yes he does and its his second home hence the Accolade.

I really hope Ghana make the 2nd round

so should we expect Beckham to run around with the Spanish flag, Ronaldinho with the Catalan and Peter Cech with the English, wow John Pantsil has started a trend that will create a whole lot of confusion in the World Cup lol

Japan/Croatia 0-0 eh...I missed the 1st half but Croatia missed a penalty. They could be going out, but after the Australia/Brazil game that group will be clearer.

 

[scouser1]

Brazil beats the Aussies still giving the Croats hope

 

[the_big_E]

how did Harry Kewell miss that open net? He just had to sidefoot it in...but then again, he is Harry Kewell

 

[scouser1]

could someone please throw the French out of the WC, with the exception of Henry they are ageing, slow and boring, here is hoping they dont make the next round

 

[the_big_E]

I couldn't agree more, France is so mind-numbingly boring. Why they dont start Trezeguet I dont understand, why they leave a useless Zidane on I dont understand. You would think they would beat Togo which would put them into position to go through...if Switzerland win tomorrow, and then Switzerland/Korea tie, combined with a France win, they would all have 5 pts...but thats a lot of ifs at this point

 

[Esco!]

France wont make the 2nd round, mark my words

 

[scouser1]

I would rather see a Togo with their stamina and speed in the 2nd round than have to suffer through a potential Spanish drubbing of the French

do you know everytime Brazil won the world cup, the next champion were the host country except for one in 1958 and 1962 Brazil won twice in a row.

Brazil won host country
1962 1966 England
1970 1974 Germany
1994 1998 France
2002 2006 (Brazil or Germany)

 

[the_big_E]

Germany isn't winning this year.

Luca Toni, you breathe on the guy and down he goes.

His wife was critized by local as none FC supporter. She sported club flag on few outings. In Europe, it's common supporter to also sport their home club flags.

Henry played well. French lacks killer instinct. 2nd half was all Korea. Korea came alive in 2nd half.

Just love the Korean & African fans.
