big-will 7 Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Zidane definitely out of the first game is a blow for France, ne? First games have a habit of being not kind to the defending champions and pulling some surprises. Link to post Share on other sites
OzOzOz 2 Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Something to remember: In football it's not always the better side that wins, it's the one who scores the most goals. Often overlooked. Link to post Share on other sites

Wizz 11 Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 What the F? NHK - instead of showing the opening ceremony, they interview friggin Kimutaku while its going on in the background. Sky are showing it all. Whats that all about then???????? Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Did you just hear that? Out of the France 23, 5 play in the French league. Out of the Senegal 23, 21 play in the French league. [This message has been edited by scouser (edited 31 May 2002).] Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Wizz, is that what they did? Well that figures. What amazes me about this is just how little involvement there seems to be between Japan and Korea. You could almost be forgiven for thinking that it was Warudo Kappu inu Japan. I was expecting a bit more bilateral exchange but it seems that both countries are happy to maintain their traditional respective animosities. (I was hoping my local supermarket would have specials on kimuchi or something. My local booze shop has started selling Korean nigorizake which is horrible...) Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Wizz, I saw that too. Forget the Korean opening display, let's interview Kimutaku. Tis sad indeed. Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 With you on the hope, go-ireland, but I'm not too sure how realistic it is. First rounds of the WC - a 1-0 win is all you need. The time to peak is in the second half of June when it really matters. For now, just get through. Ganbare greens Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Check this out. Never liked this guy.... ==== Rivaldo faces ban after faking injury SEOUL, June 4 (AFP) Brazilian star Rivaldo could face a severe ban and a fine after faking an injury that led to Turkey's Hakan Unsal get sent off in the closing minutes of Monday's Brazil-Turkey World Cup match. The Barcelona player collapsed at the corner flag clutching his head after Unsal kicked the ball at his his leg. Korean referee promptly showed Unsal the red card as Rivaldo rolled in agony. FIFA's disciplinary committee were studying a video of the incident on Tuesday and were expected to give a ruling later in the day announced FIFA spokesman Keith Cooper. Before the World Cup began players were warned that referees had been ordered to clamp down on cheating. "In the last World Cup it was the tackle from behind, this time our target is simulation," explained George Cumming, head of the referees commission. After the match Rivaldo admitted he had feigned injury. "Obviously I exaggerated the incident for the guy to be sent off," he said. "The ball hit my hand and my leg. It didn't hit me in the face but that kind of attitude (kicking the ball against an opponent) must not be allowed on the pitch. He deserved to have a red card." Rivaldo, in his second World Cup, has always been perceived as an under-achiever at international level, despite an impressive scoring record, and has much to prove in South Korea and Japan.
