Even disregarding Cahill's yellow card; would you say that he is more effective later in the game when he comes off the bench?

 

[otay]

Hmm i don't know if he is more effective coming off the bench. I mean just coz he's managed to score from the bench a few times recently doesnt mean that is where he is most effective. For me the most tellin substitution was bringing Kennedy, and I do think he is an impact bench player. I feel like Kewell should also come off bench and play Timmy since he can create havoc from word go. However whether he starts from bench would probably more be due to the yellow card situation. All I know is that Aloisi needs a good run, as he is a proven goalscorer against quality sides (re: Confed cup last year not to mention La Liga)

it will also be good if each side gets 3 red cards and a swathe of yellows

predictions:

equador 2 - costa rica 1
england 1 - t&T 0
Sweden 1 - Paraguay 0

btw has any1 spent 100 bucks with centrebet and heard back from them yet?

OK. why did the world cup have to take place this year.....just when there's a couple of months left for our exam?
it's seriously fustrating grrrrr and it's on so late at night! ><

-I fall asleep in class coz I watch every single game, even when I'm not interested in the teams
-I can't do my hw, assessments nor study
-instead of using the net for research, I go n check the world cup sites
-I'm actually even starting to watch the news for updates

lol I'm going crazy, but I should stop complaining coz,









it's all worth it!
btw, I'm gonna be 21 years old by the time the next world cup comes along.....I don't wanna grow old

Ok, seriously shut the fuck up. Oh noes your exams are a few months away, whatever will you do about your exams that are a few months away. Most people in this thread have exams on while the cup is happening, and noone wants to hear your whining.

It would be better for Australia if Japan beat Croatioa 1-0

Actually, you are right.

I was thinking along the lines of it leaving both teams with one point after two games, but then with that, Croatia could beat Australia.

Either way, I am still hoping both teams make it - Croatia and Australia that is.

It would be better for Australia if Japan beat Croatioa 1-0

I'd much prefer 2-0, as japan would only have a 0 F/A score after that match, croatia would have -3, we would have about 0 pending the brazilian result. then brazil should beat japan by a few. then we can even lose to croatia by a goal. ultimate winnrar!

too right, i've resorted to strategically counting the number of hours sleep i need and exactly what time my exam is,

but really, staying up till 5 am when you have an exam the next day is just not an option,

i just hope we win so i can see them play again in the next round

Do they send the voucher out to your home address?

Do they send the voucher out to your home address?

...I suppose they do. Where else would they send it?

 

[Paragon]

Well finally. I've been counting down for more football action by the minute the whole day.

I'm so hooked.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

Goal.

 

[Paragon]

Goallllllll.

See, this is what I've been missing the whole day.

Encore, encore.

 

[johnny_87]

Anyone picking 3 wins tonight?

Although Sweden are a bit of an unknown after their fights

 

[sunjet]

ecuador are awesome

 

[Paragon]

Isn't Agincourt the unofficial Socceroos base? Problem is it gets packed out really early, there was no room after a few minutes the other night when we played Japan.

G&G Army base, and yeah, it does get packed fairly early, but seeing as the Brazil match will be at 1:30, there's less chance of a massive crowd there. I'll be there though.
