fabiano is 4/1 to score 2 goals and evens to score anytime (last time i looked)

looking forward to this match

4-0 brazil

brazil have been in superb form of late,being top of the south american WC group etc

Vokes

Good shout. They've been averaging something like 3 goals per game in the last 6 matches.

Looking forward to seeing those FBs bomb forwards on the overlap.

The South Africans seem to equate annoying noise with atmosphere.

Glico Man

at the time of posting it is 3 mins 10 seconds into the brazil and egypt match and those horns are driving me mad already :mad:

kaka strikes

defending was awful but a lovely finish by kaka

Tom65

Nice goal. That Kaka lad could amount to something - anyone heard of him?

I know, they should be banned (the horns, not the South Africans)

mayordenis

2-1 fabiano, nice.

~Marky~

And its 2-1 to Brazil Fabiano

Eire-Dearg

Great free kick, good header, Fabiano makes it 2-1.

too bad i didnt put money on it

dont ya hate when that happens

Tom65

I was going to go Brazil 3-0 and Fabiano to score twice, but Paddy Power failed me. Probably for the best, so.

MementoMori

Anyone else distincly unimpressed with the state of the pitches?

All of them seem to get cut up ridiculously easy.

blood rte at it again.

Kaka is playing pretty well

Headshot

how good are brazil at the set pieces,great stuff

civis_liberalis

If we qualify for 2010, they better fcuk of somewhere else with them fcuking horns when Ireland are playing.

MementoMori

Peter Collins is having a shocker in the stating the bloody obvious stakes.

3-1 Juan simple goal header from a corner.

Egypt a pretty decent side - playing some nice ball - can see them giving the other two sides in the group a game.

Was just thinking along similar lines - for all the creativity, they sure do seem to realise the importance of taking advantage of set-pieces.

I would imagine the vast majority of the crowds at the games are South Africans, with very few fans having travelled.

I'd be very surprised if it was a similar situation at the World Cup games.

Fingers crossed anyway.

Eire-Dearg

It's like there's that annoying insect in the room, that keep buzzing around, so annoying and it must be dealt with.

MementoMori

3-2 Egypt Shawkey of Boro

3-3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Zidan

adm

Zizouuuuuuuu!!!!!

titan18

Headshot

mike65

What a game! 3-3 Zidane scores!

~Marky~

All I can say is wtf :eek: :eek: :eek:

MementoMori

In fairness Egypt had been far the better side in the second half

See what Brazil are made of now

Mikeyt086

Crackin game!

Delighted Brazil cant coast to victory now, lets see them.

Headshot

Egypt ftw


at 6/1

MementoMori

Twice Peter Collins has referred to Kaka as the most expensive player in the world.

Also managed to mis-identify Kaka as Robinho.

Awful stuff.

He is still the most expensive player in the world. Ronaldo hasn't completed his move yet, only had a bid accepted.


But yeah, he can be a really dull commentator.

Well he is, Ronaldo deal still hasn't been completed yet

jesus_thats_gre

He is the most expensive player in the world though? The Ronaldo transfer hasn't been concluded yet. He explained himself at the start of the match like.

Great game to watch, also Dunga has a shocking sense of fashion:eek:

Defo.. Going by this match, you can see why Egypt are the African champions.

and their missing a few players like zaki and mido

Eire-Dearg

Mido is ****e.

Edit: No insult whatsoever to the player, but he's decreasing in any quality whatsoever since he first arrived in England, and increasing in weight.

Davei141

Well done Howard Webb.

Headshot

thats was S.taylor level acting there

Headshot

thank God

MementoMori

Def pen

Kinda harsh on Egypt because they have kept Brazil pretty quiet in the second half.

Kaka 4-3

Holsten

Hard luck to Egypt.

Tom65

Jaysus, what a match.

Unlucky for Egypt not to get at least a point, but it was a definite penalty. Yer man was some plank, going down clutching his face. That'd just make me certain it was a handball.

Eire-Dearg

I remember a lad from our team got away with it once, while I was in goals. Long range shot coming straight for me, next he stuck out an arm and wait down holding his face. It was comical.

Headshot

what game that was


superb
