Surprised nobody made a topic yet, the games just about to start.

Your prediction? I say 2-0 Tunisia.

Bump? Nobody cares?

I forgot completely...:( Suprised you made it...

Ukraine by 2 or so.

Spain-SA is also on, but this game is far more decisive.

Tunisian just yellowed, looks like he just fell though...

2:0 for the Ukraine.

Ukraine 2 - Tunisia 1

I hope Ukraine don't repeat the Spanish game - they were dreadful.

Ukraine defender gets a yellow (name too hard to spell for me)

Bah, I'm watching the other game in the hopes that spain would start racking up the goals. Hasn't happened yet, 0-0 is the score in the 'other game'.

And why is there no scoreboard in the Ukraine - Tunisia game footage? Is this the same for everybody?

Depends on your own TV station.

It's the middle of the night here, and we have british commentators, so I assume the whole package is being beemed in by the BBC or whoever.

Still scoreless and no team seems to be terribly effective in trying to score either.

Halftime.

Tunisia is down to 10 men. >_>

Tunisia down to 10 men as someone got sent off. Ukraine should get a draw from here (or win if they try).

Ukraine's been laying back too much so far. I think Blokhin will give them a good shouting down in the break, and they might come out firing.

2nd half was started. Hopefully things get more exciting.

And we start with a yellow card to Ukrainian. :p

Tunisian just yellowed, looks like he just fell though...yup, it has been like that the whole game.. the zebra is gone bananas.
Tunisia is being red and yellow carded for nothing..

Another yellow card to Ukraine ...

Oh, Spain 1 - Saudis 0

Oh what a boring game. Why the hell don't they fucking broadcast the other game?

Penalty kick!

Penalty to Ukraine (rather dubious one).

AND scored - guess the scorer?

Shevchenko scores the penalty! 1-0 to Ukraine.

1:0 Ukraine. I said 2:0 - still need another one.

The commentator sucks, the referee definitely sucks in this game and they play in Germany but only one station broadcasts one game? Aarrgh! :mad: :mad: :mad:

GOAL! Shevchenko...penalty though, but who cares?

Bah, I missed it cos I'm watching spain piss around in the other game :(

Tunisia should wake up do something now!

You didn't miss anything! Is the Spain vs. Saudi Arabia game at least watchable? 'Cause this one ain't. Worst game I've seen so far. Bah!

There was just a yellow card to a saudi for diving. First one of those I've actually seen.

One of the Tunisians got booked for diving this game too, 1st half.

And rightly so.

Boy, you can tell that the audience is as bored as I am - They're celebrating the German team :D

Well by 'watching' I mean it's on the tv over there while I'm paying most of my attention to the computer :p

Saudi Arabia have played better this half, and Spain have still created the odd chance. Spain are just going through the motions now though.

Man, should be showing the Spain vs SA game.
According to ESPN soccernet, Spain had 21 shots on goal so far.

Mmh. Sounds like we're "watching" (<- same applies here) the "same" game. Man, both teams sucks so bad...

You given up on Germany :eek:

Intriguing potential Quarter finals

Germany vs Argentina
England vs Holland
Brazil vs Spain
Italy vs ?

Can Spain beat Brazil?

You given up on Germany :eek:

Like I said in another topic, it's "We can't win" syndrome. Sweden looks unbelievably good to me, and I don't know why.
