I'm afraid it's all going to be boring games today. But who knows?
there will be no boring games in this tournament....not even the score will determine whether a game is boring or not., they will all be good games

Yeah this is a win-win situation for me with my predictions.🙂 If my prediction is wrong , the Aussies win!!(or draw😉 )
I still dont see who's going to give Australia their "midfield spark" , unless Cahill has a blinder of a game- which he occasionally does🙂
I do believe both teams have 11 men each, so they are evenly matched....
once the games start then you will see...
Germany are a very good team, but they still havent won this game yet

Originally posted by hopscotchI think it's working well. Every tournament is the same. New ball, everybody complains, new ball becomes a fixture and everybody is happy again.
Does anyone have opinions on how well the official Adidas Jabulani ball is working so far?
So far I've noticed that when kicked with power the ball just keeps on going like there's no gravity. There've been many way over the top shots at goal. I think this is going to be a problem with long range free kick shots and specialists like Lampard and Ronaldo ...[text shortened]... uge lateral swerve, as shown by his excellent strike that was saved by the Nigerian keeper.
I think too much hullabaloo is made about balls.

Depends on how germany plays, I hope they don't play like Germany. Also I don't expect australia to be good enough to break down germany's defence.

Originally posted by PalynkaLots of teams seem to be coached by foreigners. Why does the same rule of nationality not seem to apply to coaches? Where's England's heir to Ramsey?

Capello is not as good a coach as he thinks and commands a huge salary for fielding a subpar team which seems like it's not gelling.
I just realized how few African coaches there are. It's only Algeria's Rabah Saadane and Portugal's Carlos Queiroz (born in Mozambique).

Originally posted by trev33Germany are a lot more attacking these days under Klinsman. I reckon Klose is a decent bet for the golden boot.
