Not true, you're rather good at producing fumbling keepers. :P

 

First there was Calamity James, and now we have Blobert Green.................... :rolleyes:

^Not as good as Norway :shame:

 

First Myhre, then Opdal, then Jahrstein and most recently Knutsen. And this is all in the last 3 years.

denmark have it worse. brian jensen is danish. fortunately he's always been their their number 4 or 5 choice so never made it but he thought he might get called up last year. the worst goalkeeper of all time.

I think Slovenia will come out convincing winners they overcame Russia in the playoffs which is no mean feat. Algeria results in the friendlies are not too convincing only a win against UAE and their team is in disarray.

 

My predictions

Algeria 0-2 Slovenia

 

Serbia 1- 0 Ghana

 

Germany 2 - 0 Australia

First there was Calamity James, and now we have Blobert Green.................... :rolleyes:

Must not forget David Seaman, Paul Robinson, Scott Carson................. :rolleyes:

you're all writing off the aussies!! just wait we'll show you all!

Woo, Australia! :dance:

Ok just over 4hrs to go. im getting some sleep so i dont pass out half way through the match. bring it on Deutschland

No more than 2 goals in a game so far. It's a popular excuse, but I do think the ball is a big factor in the very low scores we're getting. Players are constantly over-shooting crosses, and the ball is bouncing very high so the majority of through-balls don't check-up but run off the field. Some of the fields are partially synthetic, so that might contribute to the liveliness as well.

oh snap! Ghana get a PK.

my team for work sweepstake, go Black Stars!

 

South Africa ponders vuvuzela ban

 

South Africa's World Cup organising chief Danny Jordaan may ban vuvuzelas from inside stadiums after complaints from broadcasters and supporters. The constant sound of the high-pitched horn-like instrument has so far drowned out much of the atmosphere-generating singing usually associated with games.

 

And Jordaan, when asked if he would get rid of them, told BBC Sport: "If there are grounds to do so, yes. We did say that if any land on the pitch in anger we will take action."

 

France captain Patrice Evra has already blamed the noise generated by the vuvuzelas, which has been likened to the drone of thousands of bees, for his side's poor showing in their opening group game against Uruguay, which finished goalless. He said: "We can't sleep at night because of the vuvuzelas. People start playing them from 6am. We can't hear one another out on the pitch because of them."

 

Jordaan conceded that while the noise was irritating for some people, they were doing all they could to minimise the impact. "We've tried to get some order," he continued. "We have asked for no vuvuzelas during national anthems or stadium announcements. It's difficult but we're trying to manage the best we can.

Can't see how Australia are gonna score being how defensive their coach likes to play Germans should nick it by the odd goal.

I'll go for a 3-0 win to deutchland

Good match everybody. May the best team win.

Cahill lone man upfront. :\

 

The Aussies N98 jacket look good, the national anthem was nicely sung by the crowd.

Come on ya Aussies

Aussies should have brought some didgeridoos to add to the horns. :p

This could get ugly for the Aussies

At least the Aussies have got the excuse that Association football is ranked at least 4th of their national sport (Behind Rugby, Cricket & Aussie rules Football) ;)
