ali110: Dutch won ....Go to home aussie
It doesn't matter that we lost... the fact that we played brilliantly is the best..
and that we are the lowest ranking team... and we gave it all we had... that is what is important.. and we gave the highest ranking team a scare... and brilliant goal from Cahill...
Now... you just have to be proud if you were an Aussie...
Fantastic goal... from Cahill... and bloody beawdy mate... from the team...

Merriweather: Yes... you might have made the balls.. which is cool... but really Ali... you have no idea how something like this event pulls the world together..
just one congratulatory comment would have sufficed... !!!!
Merriweather: sorry Guzman... but you have to be happy for us down unders... and Ali... stick it... we only have 22million in this country, and 99% are football not soccer fans..
It's not the kind of thing that makes me happy or angry, but thanks.
uptall: Just not the team they were mate
Back luck
Perhaps the problem is that the most of them are the same team than in South Africa. We need new blood.
The greatest cup/game isn't socccer for me but I've been watching most of the games. They've been pretty good. I always go for England but they never do well! I will be missing tomorrows game! Argh!
GUZMAN1: Chile pushed from the very first moments, it could have been worse.
The Spanish players have great talent,the problem was Del Bosque.- The question is... """Do you change a winning team,after winning the World Cup, 4 years back????""",and my own answer is YES, you do,because keeping mainly the same team for 4 years,in soccer is regarded,as a long time.-JMO
An end of a great era in international football. They have achieved a lot, but like most things, it cannot go on for ever, and they can hold there heads up for what they achieved in the past. Spain has many young players to replace them, and I am sure they will continue to do there country proud.

No doubt the chileans surprised the spanish the same as the dutch.

Sadly the younger players appeared just near the end.
In response to: i myself have voted for italy.25/1 for tournament specialists is a bit too long in my book.i encourage you all to back them in a score draw with england in the first group game;).
..it was sad to see the cameroons knocked out last night......they played so well last time........???????.
Merriweather: Oh .. for Pete's sake... do the right thing and barrack for your team... Jeez..
...hi Merri/ I do.....I want them to prove me wrong.....but somehow we don't have that killer.instinct.......to get goals....we always play...a retreating defence.....+ long passes...don't hit the mark.....
