Official World Cup 2006 Thread

I figured it would be easier to start our discussions here instead of hijacking all the different threads. We can discuss the results of the friendlies before the tournament starts and all the results during.

So I'll start off with this question, do you think Sven has any major lineup changes with the news of Wayne Bridge's ankle injury?

I don't see any major changes. Wayne Bridge has got to be upset...

Leo Messi's amazing goal...the last scene really captivates the goal.

Just saw that the injury isn't as bad as originally thought and that it's just a sprain. He's expected to play in the Arsenal match this weekend, so I guess Sven gets a break on his going away party.

Wow, great positioning for that interception and great placement on the shot. The keeper had horrible positioning, but he did make up a lot of ground with that dive and almost got there.

I'm excited, this almost makes up for the lack of football til september.
