I'll be rooting for Italy this game. Only because of their pasta. I really don't know much about the Ukraine.

Nikki · 06-30-2006, 01:38 PM

I think I'll be able to watch all of the next game before we leave to see the Marlins. Should be exciting.

Hahah thanks Shim, we do have good pasta

Nikki · 06-30-2006, 01:40 PM

My better side of the family is from Czech/Ukraine so that could be part of my reasoning...lol.

From attendance figures I didn't think anybody in SoFl actually went to Marlins games...

Haha, well I've never been there so I figured I'd check it out and it's something to do. I'm a Yankees fan, my family is from New York, but since I moved down here two years ago and since they're in a different league I can root for both teams. Plus, the Red Sox are in town so I can have an even better reason for wanting the Marlins to win lol.

Argentina played better at first, but i knew they dont have stamina to complete the game like the germans, after 60 mins, it was germany's match!!!!

gtg have dinner b4 Italy's match!!!!

Up next..... DA DA DUM.... ITALIA!!!!!!!

Placement of the ball requires skill ms. Bella. If you put it in the upper corner every time, no goalie will ever get it.

flush01 · 06-30-2006, 02:01 PM

damn i wanted argentina to win

next is ukraine.... GOOOOO UKRAINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your right, but in reality.. if every single player shot it in the upper corner, i dont think the goalies would have to guess.

When i talk about skill not realy being involved, i meant in the context of the teams. If one team is consistently dominating and has an obvious advantage but cannot produce a goal, and goes into PKs, the outcome can not be predicted. You cannot measure the skill of the winning team by PKs.

Haha do you kinda get what i'm saying?! lol cause i dont know how to type it out hah

puck724 · 06-30-2006, 02:18 PM

nice game..talk about not knoing who will win...tough break for argentina though they played a good game, i agree with the announcers though. they sorta goofed on some substitutions. granted haveing their goalie come out sorta messed things up...

Nikki · 06-30-2006, 02:40 PM

Song isn't working for me. Video works though.

This stinks-they have women's golf on ESPN instead of the game so it's not in HD.

Our cable company, Adelphia, is going out of business so we get Comcast in July and they said we'll get ESPN2 in HD then.

leeJ · 06-30-2006, 02:45 PM

video? song works. it's in spanish... well at least in the beginning. Hey Bella, are all Italian girls just like you? I mean.. they are so passionated about soccer

Nikki · 06-30-2006, 02:49 PM

oh it works now, my cat must have pushed the mute button on my keyboard while we were away hahaha.
