So, who wins? I think Argentina will win, and I'm guessing 3-1. Of course, that's my one guess that hasn't been right yet, but, you know.

I think we'll beat the Oranjefolk pretty badly

but if that means getting cards and some palyers missing the next game, then I'd rather we lose and not get the cards

the duch will win cuz their cool like that;)

Yes we are :D

However, we'd rather don't injure our players or getting them cards, so we play it cool as well :)

when they go to the 1/8th finals all players lose their cards.

Yeah well - Portugal or Mexico - do they care? - not really - hence 0 - 0

Only single yellow ones. Red ones or the 2nd yellow will still have effect

Considering the Dutch do not have to win to get to the next round they will probably indeed not be motivated to put up a fight. Lazy buggers ;)

Is it only me that the Yahoo log in for the fantasy world cup keeps timing out on?

:p

Argentina will obviously win. ;)

Nah, I dunno. I'm guessing 2:2.

I'd rather play Mexico than Portugal. Portugal was 2nd in the EC 2 years ago and beat us in the semi-finals back then. Overall I think Portugal is the stronger one of the two.

I agree that Portugal is the stronger of the two, but neither are teams to 'be avoided' like Brazil or the hosts (just because they are the hosts and Brazil, not because of their performances.)

Yup, indeed. Also I count Argentina as a team to be avoided. And maybe Spain as well (even though they're normally weak in tournaments), but this time just *wow*.

Also a nice question: Who will Princess Maxima support? She's originally Argentinian :D

Come on Holland. Fuck over the Junta Twats and chief Junta twat herr von Drug-using ball-handling midget boy.

I think Holland is going to win this game.

so close

1:0 to us (Holland)

the duch will win cuz their cool like that;)you say orange.. but your Sig says Argentina. ;)

I think your Sig will kick your ass today. :D

Serbia is up 1-0.

NED 1-2 ARG

My first guess on an actual score.

My mind says that Argentina will win because it´s the best team. But my heart waits that Holland to win because I´m a Brazilian.:p

Ay Chihuahua !!!

My mind says that Argentina will win because it´s the best team. But my heart waits that Holland to win because I´m a Brazilian.:pand My mind says Brazil should get to the Last dance because they will never (till the final day) get to play:

Argentina
Holland
England
Germany
Portugal

if I understant the FIFA system correctly.

BTW Go Brazil.. Penta!! (actually penta already)

Really Brazil is not playing well. Always that Brazil was favourite ..... lost.:rolleyes:

I dunno if Argentina will win. At least according the FIFA historical match up.

Both teams have played 5 total matches against each other.
The Netherlands have won 3
Argentina has won 1
They have pulled a draw once.

NET: 9 goals
ARG:5 goals



So this match historically favors the Oranjefolk, but in this particular match, Argentina is making a lot more close shots than the Netherlands.

That's impossible. Brazil has to play either Argentina or the Netherlands in the semi-finals (if they all make it that far).

ps. Serbia is up 2-1

the Orange is doing a good job containing Argentina.

I was expecting far more scoring. Maybe 2nd half...

That's impossible. Brazil has to play either Argentina or the Netherlands in the semi-finals (if they all make it that far).you sure?
Let me check the FIFA maze again..

so its half time and neather team has scored, how do you think the second half will go?

you sure?
Let me check the FIFA maze again..

Well Argentina and the Netherlands can only see each other again in the finals, because they're in the same poule. So if they're all in the semi-finals one has to play against Brazil.

0-0

and both teams pull a draw.


0-0 final score Agrentina/Netherlands.

and both teams pull a draw.

I'd be surprised if only one of them pulled a draw :p

I'd be surprised if only one of them pulled a draw :p
haha

That would be a wonderfully satirical result.

"England draws with Ghana, but Ghana loses to England, 2-0."

I'm now tempted to concoct alternate rules that would allow that to happen.

All it would require is some kind of handicapping system wherin each team is handicapped independently.

Say
England Handicap -2
Ghana Handicap 0

So England 2 : 0 Ghana after handicap adjustment

For England - England 2 - 2 : 0 Ghana = England 0 : 0 Ghana - a draw
For Ghana - England 2 : 0 + 0 Ghana = England 2 : 0 Ghana - England win

That would be a wonderfully satirical result.

If you switch "Ghana" and "England" here, that would indeed be a most fabulous idea. :p

In other news, I'm one of only 3 people here correctly predicting a draw. Yay me! (Let's just conveniently forget that I predicted four goals too many...)

As much as I hate to say it, Germany might just win *shudders*

Yes, Argentinia vs the Netherlands. It was a nice and exciting match, but in the end the Germans won :p

Aw, I know you love us. :fluffle:

I'm trying to figure out a rule change that would allow that to happen... not coming up with anything though. ;)

Holland gets Portugal. I'm sure Portugal will win that one.

That's what happened in the Spanish Civil War. It was Spain vs. Spain, and Germany won.

I'm not sure who will win that one, however I'm sure it will be a very exciting game to watch :)

Yeah, but war and politics make that sort of thing really easy. No rules, especially in civil wars. All's fair, and whatnot.

That reminds me of a quote: Football is war - Rinus Michels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinus_Michels)

Well, now we know that Argentina B and Holland B are about equal. :rolleyes:

Is Yahoo refusing to let you into update your fantasy teams or not?

I just get a timed out message when I try to log in. :mad:

I can switch people around from the bench. But I don't have any transfers left.
The site seems to work fine right now though.
