I'd love it if they pulled off a result. Be interesting to see Senderos up against his team-mate Henry as well.

Senderos looked good during the short bit I got to watch. Zidane looked like the "Old Master" that he is (and both words apply).

 

[NakaNaka]

What game tomorrow will be the best one?

 

[kalster]

italy has looked best so far for my money, I picked them to win it all this year

Senderos did look very good - I'm surprised France didn't apply a bit more physical pressure on him as that's when he tends to crumble in the Premier League.

Yeah - and the joke potential is enormous with that one too

Should be interesting - Poland have to go for the win and Germany's defence is not brilliant. I would imagine with Ballack due back that Poland won't improve on their poor record against the Germans.

Best scenario IMO would be a Poland win followed by Ecuador picking up 3 points against Costa Rica tomorrow. That would leave the group in a very interesting position.

I am responding to stuff and making predictions here. I use the other thread for "discussion" type posts...

Doesn't matter as long as the chatter is there...

What an awesome ending to the Tunisia - Saudi Arabia game.

They wheel Sami Al Jaber out of retirement and sub him in with 10 minutes left and he scores the go ahead goal and then Tunisia scores in the 93rd minute to tie.

WOW! :Q

Yeah that last second goal was a backbreaker.

Probably very late to this party, but my Soca Warriors had a great showing against Sweden for the draw. And no, it's not unfair for them to draw from "two countries" because the nation is, and has always been, made up of two islands: Trinidad, and Tobago. Is it unfair for the USA to draw players from 50 states, plus possessions? All of which are probably bigger than TnT? :|

Great result against Sweden but I'm afraid I can't wish you luck today! :beer:

Today's prediction:

Shaka Hislop said he could die happy after T&T tied Sweden. It's nice that he feels that way because he is going to take a beating today!!!

England 4
T&T 0

I so hope that happens! Actually, I'd be happy with a 2-0 win and a safe return for Rooney!
