2006 World Cup Thread

judging by that less than thrilling game they had with Ukraine being 0-0, it will be much of the same, a wacky list of superstars, 20 minutes of attack and 70 minutes of defence hoping to win 1-0, to be followed by Giuseppe and his brother Vito from Woodbridge driving up and down Dufferin and St Clair in their souped up purple Civics honking horns after the 1-1 draw :D

Come one. Give it to the boys. And like I said in the other thread, I am very impressed by Crouch's play. The more confidence he gets the better England will be.



Hey Becks: what about Crouch,s new "robot dance" after he scores.
Did he develop that @ one your parties on the dancefloor? I won,t
have a problem with IF he keeps it up starting next weekend..

Ukraine was playing without Shevchenko and they still almost won the game. Voronin had a good chance at the end but couldn't score. Overall it was a typical game fro Italy. Not many scoring chances, mostly boring and the score could have been 0-0, 1-0 or 1-1. I would rather watch someone else. Also Gattuso was very aggressive and almost injured one of Ukrainian players.
 
3-2!!
