I don't know where to post that so I thought I'll post it here:

Friendly:

France 1 - 2 Belgium

It was very fortunate for Belgium to win this game. Not saying it coz I'm a fan of that team, but I watched it live and I must say Belgium remind me of the Germans.
France was the better team 70 mins and they should have scored at least 3+ goals.

Hmmm now let's see how this will effect the players at the WC.
Not to forget that the last friendly they played before the EC was also a defeat.

Having read all the comments, we will go as follows:

Preliminary Rounds

One thread per group (8 threads)

** round of 16**

One thread (8 matches)

** Quarter Finals, Semi and Finals **

One thread (7 matches)

I suggest that the 8 threads opened for the preliminary rounds have an opening post listing all the teams and the details of the matches within that particular group.

Now who is going to volunteer to open these preliminary threads

[Ali_R]

It will be a honour for me to open up a thread on GROUP A. As for being a French Team Fan.

Now people c'mon and take over 1 thread each.

Ehsan u just have to give me the signal for opening and I'll be there.

Who cares about opening up the dull french group where France are certain to be number 1.
I will open group F, the most exciting group in this tiurnament where all teams have a chance to make it to the next round.

Well Shino I must be honest here and say that Holland got what it deserved. They played a very poor Qualifying match against Ireland and before that their appearance was never as solid as it used to be.
I miss the old dayz with Ruut Gullit (?) an Co?
It used to be my fav. team at that moment coz they played a offensive and attractive Football.

Hmmmm btw what was the end result of that Friendly?

p.s.: Shino we all will appreciate your appearance at Khail it’s good to see even women participating at this section of Gupshup. As did and does fantastic1.

Now with u and SADI it can only get more interesting.
Especially the discussion.

Thanx Ali… u actually sounded nice for a change

Anhyhow…You’re right abt The dutch team playing a poor qualifing round!..not just against Ireland.I still think they deserved to be a part of the WC bcuz they have always proved to be a very good football nation.
This WC wont be as exciting for me as the previous ones.I still dont know who I’m gonna support. * sighz*…
Lets just hope the BEST team wins (whoever that might be)…but pleeez Lord NOT England

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

I hope the Spanish team does a better job this time…they got great players.

PS) USA 0 - Holland 2

Why are you generalizing, I never said such a thing. Though I'm supporting France, I would wish them best of luck too.
Germans have the cracked up football team.

As for being a great football nation, there I have no doubts, but as I said the latest developments in Hollands Team have proven, that there has to be a major change. A new team has to be created and old players do have to hand over their seats to the young talents sitting and waiting.
I saw the U21 Team of Holland and I must say even this won’t bring a change, the team lacks of offensive play and defensive discipline as well as of talents like Bergkamp, Overmars and Co.
I see worse times coming up for the Netherlands.

Hee Umair… I have nothing against the England-squad!
It’s just that I have some relatives in the UK who r die-hard England fans… and they reallllyyyyyyy annoy me cuz Holland didnt make it

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

… SO I’m just hoping they wont win cuz I’m sure I’d have to hear it another 10 yrs at least!

[Peoples_Champ]

Never should England win.
They still talk about 1966, where in Wembley they won the World Cup. Like.. that was so many years ago, and they still won't shut up about it.

England fans me off.. they all are arrogant, and over half of them don't know the true meaning to the Beautiful Game.

Besides a more stylish team should win, like Italy, or I wouldn't mind to see France win again.
