USA USA USA going to win da worldb owl

Big call, they should get rid of injury time, it's a stupid concept. Just stop the clock like any sane sport does when somebody gets injured or a sub is made, stops time wasting and time-wasting techniques such as faking injury and less rigging power with refs.

And if everybody wants a prediction, I reckon Germany and USA will go their best for a result and it'll end 0-0 anyway so everybody screams rigged corruption and starts hating on them.
This would be the best way to do it, but time is still lost even when injury time is added on. There would've been a good 10 minutes lost during that 2nd half, it's not worth stopping the clock otherwise people will get frustrated because their 2 hour game (Adding in half time break) could go on for a lot longer. It's a bit like AFL, some quarters go 26 minutes, others can go 33.

Wow the atmosphere must be weird as now..everyone looks dead.
ikr how weird was the feeling at the end there. Noone did anything, even Ronaldo when that goal went in, there was hardly any celebration. I think Protugal had accepted defeat tbh, then that cross (10/10 cross btw, far out) hit it's target. It all looked casual and only Tim Howard showed any emotion when the goal went in.

So you're telling me if they stopped the clock then the goal would of still been allowed?

Please win Germany, Ronaldo must play on.

Germany will win but I cant see Portugal getting through. They need USA to lose and to beat Ghana and overcome a 5 goal difference. I can see them winning but dont see them making up the goal difference.

Germany will probably win by 1-2 goals 3 max. So they will need to beat Ghana by 2-3 themselves.

Haha yeah it is unlikely, but I can hope.

Ronaldo to put 4 into the back of the net and take Portugal through. :P

That'd be good as.

Muller to score 4 of them? Yes please.

Looks like an awesome atmosphere JR, I'm sure they would have gone crazy after that late goal was scored!

I'm pumped to watch Aussies last World Cup match, not expecting too much as this WC, but lets hope we can put on another positive display and show a goal or two without Cahill there, as just a sign for the future :P. I also have an exam tomorrow but I slept for like 2.5 hours before so should be fine :D.

We seem to be going forward more then them

Justin Bieber

Spain controlling play well past like 20 mins after we started well.

Just as I write, Villa scores for Spain after a back heel shot :(.

kilbluff1985

I know nothing about our team but our forwards look crap compared to there's, there's look much more dangerous with the ball

It is Spain afterall :P.

We have pace in Leckie/Oar and Taggett (spelling?) is replacing Cahill, but doesn't have that finishing like him. It'll be tough to score for us, but we've done it before ;).

Yeah, pretty clear that Taggert isn't in the same league as Cahill.
