Football World Cup 2002 - GROUP E - (Ger, KSA, IRL, CMR)

I think you need to start hoping for the teams that you hate to win matches, maybe then they will loose.

Finnaly. the Germans showing their true color and showing a world cup champion performace, what France couldn’t do yesterday.


Thought I was watching a cricket match not football. The Saudi performance was a disgrace.

Guess what…

Today I won 120 euro’s

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/smile.gif

I predicted 8-0

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/hehe.gif

… Not really!
Yikessssssssss 8-0!!!..
I stopped watching after 4-0.

I’m aware of the fact that you can’t compare the Saudis with Senegal, Nigeria or Cameroon there is huge quality gap and I knew this even before.
I would have seen YOUR team play against Senegal, I’m sure they would have lost 1-3!


WatCh youR tHoughtS; they become words.
WatCh youR wOrdS; they become actions.
WatCh youR aCtiOns; they become habits.
WatCh youR hAbiTs; they become character.
WatCh youR chaRactEr; it becomes your dEsTinY."

Check the results buddy, Saudis are much better team than Senegal, but they still lost 8-0.

Germany all the way!!


Umair,
Can u provide us some stats pleez cuz I always thought Senegal was the better team…could be wrong though

Umair I can't discuss with a person, who has no idea whatsoever about football as Shino said can u provide us the facts?!
And I bet a million they are not better than Senegal, even though Senegal lost to S.A. in friendlys this year.

P.S.: Englands best Goalkeeper (as u said) made a blunder and provided Sweden the equalizer.
The shot was not one of the unstoppables.

After it was 3-0 in just a few min.. threw the remote away and went back to sleep. Waisted my sleep time!!!

Btw, defence, and goalkeeping was horrible. No let's call it ugly.

I was impressed by Ballack's comeback. Pretty good.. pretty good.

Senegal is wayyyy better than Saudi. Senegal even made the finals of the African Nations Cup (which Africa has more competition than Asia). Senegal players are younger, yet still better. Saudi players only play in Saudi Arabia, while Senegal players play in France too.

Big difference if they ever meet.

Ali, Keep your football knowledge to yourselve, Senegal is a brand new country in the football as compared to saudis who have been in the wc previously.

Senegal wins one match and they are a good team, it was one lucky goal that got them to win, France played a better the whole time but one goal difference and a weak display from the French strikers got them to win.

Please don't critize on someones choice, if you hate the germans than good for you but I still like them and they are definately one of the top contenders to win the wc.

Go Germany!


Germany V Ireland will be an interesting match tomorrow, my prediction a draw.

I generally dont agree with UMAIR but this time he is spaeking truth. he he
According to FIFA Saudi Arabia is ranked at 34 and Senegal at 42.

Check it yourself…

** Germany 1 Ireland 1**

Last second equaliser to Ireland, who deserved to win this match. Well played Ireland.

Umair, i have the right to criticize whosoever I like if it doesnt suit you then just ignore my post. Remember we are living in a free country and on free discussion board. As long as I dont start name calling you shouldnt have a problem with it.

Secondly Andah ji, as you already mentioned Senegal is the first time in the WC therefore its hard to get more points for a team who qualified the first time in a tougher qualifying table than Saudi Arabia, compare the opponents and the wins and you will know who plays better. Secondly stats not always proof how a team plays. Remember wALES NEVER ever qualified for the WC, but still in my eyes is a good Team. One who can beat the Germans has to give 110% and be a solid team. Same goes for beaten France.

Back to your beloved Germany, they can count themselves lucky not to lose the game against Irland. Irland was 80 min. the better team and cracking chances and Germans played some ugly and boring defensive football.

Yahooo! Irland 1 - 1 Germany.

Now Germans gotta lose against Cameroon and they are out then. Inshallah.

Yippie! I’m so happy!

If they really loose to Cameroon, we’ll celebrate a biiiiiiiiiiig party!

Heee Ali n Umer,
Tell me y do u hate the german team so much?.. After all u DO speak german language?

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/biggrin.gif

If speaking the same language would be a reason to like each other, Pakistanis and Indians would love each other!


Umer, the Pakistani Brain of Austria

Uffff..dats not what I meant naaa… just curious to know where the hatred comes from.. That language thingee was just a mazaaak

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/smile.gif

It’s not hatred. I’d just call it century old rivalry.

Austrian sport commentators still remember the old days, when Austria beat Germany in Cordoba (World Cup 1978) with 3-2. Hans Krankl (current coach of the Austrian team) shot the match winning goal in the 88th minute.

It's not only this, but the way German football is played is disliked among Austrians and I bet not only Austrians.
And the luck they have.
When I listen to the Commentators on German TV when they praise their Team even when they played very poor they are appreciated.
I hate pride in any sort of form.
