I won't watch a match with our national team again, before Jon Dahl is kicked off the team... What a lousy player he is by now.. And he has stated that he plans on staying for the European cup in 2012..

That match was horrible.. But well played by the japanese team!

He played horribly for sure... but it's kind of ridiculous to blame it on one player, when none of the other players played well either. And if he actually got some confidence back in his game, he could easily be the forward he once was.

Having said that, I still think that now is the time for a new generation to step into the scene... if there is any talent that is (Besides Eriksen).

@ David Munch and Laz116

As a (sometimes) honorary Dane I'm disappointed for you - the match wasn't good but DK have played no worse that others who are progressing to the knock-out - England for example

You're right, it's one of the best things going for this edition of the World Cup.

Portugal/Brazil...

BORING!!!

Spain/Chili was better.

A small reminder, in general: Chili is the spice. The country is called CHILE.

Yes, it was boring because both teams were a little bit afraid of eachother and were playing for the most convenient result.

But they never got to the point of Spain vs Chile in the last 15 minutes.

Next tuesday: Spain vs Portugal

In French it's Chili, that's my mother tongue. Sorry!

It's a shame. Football is a show and as such teams should be performing for the public.

Over · 06-26-2010, 07:13 AM

That's nice to say, but the results are also important. And in a competition, your margin for show is much narrower.

BUt I agree the game should have been better. But from now on, it will be different. The winner continues, the looser is eliminated and there can't be draws.

One of the BBC's commentators said "the only flare in this Brazilian side is in their coach's trousers" which I thought was pretty good

Looks like England are doomed to failure against Germany.

The psychic octopus has spoken:

Psychic octopus predicts England defeat

HarryT · 06-26-2010, 07:34 AM

I don't see why he has to be psychic. Perhaps he just knows a lot about football?

Fair point

At least the octopus must have heard the old words of wisdom:
