Larian Studios Forums General Chat World cup fever

Actually, I was hoping that an Australian on these boards would weigh in. I believe the game was an unexpected upset, but I'm not totally sure.

I give you another simple one - for the same reason they turned upside down the result table in today´s match vs. Asian Champion Japan against all odds (incl. the referee on Japan´s lead!):

He is just a sheer Wizard in Football, man, just look at that !

Ragon, the admiring Mage

[color:"orange"]Can anyone explain to me the reasons Uruguay lost to Australia in the qualifying match to enter the Cup? I don't know too much about it. (My wife's family is from Uruguay.)[/color]

There wasn't just one qualifying match, there were two. First, Uruguay bet Australia 1-0 in Montevideo. After the regular time in the Sydney match, it was 1-0 for Australia, so they first played overtime (or extra time, as the British call it), but neither team was able to score, and the winner had to be decided on penalties. In this case, each team gets 5 penalty kicks, and the one scoring more goals wins. The Australians apparently had the better nerves or a little more luck and won 3-2 (so the overall result of the Sydney match was 4-2, but if the winner can't be determined in regular time, the rules about home and away goals don't apply anymore).

the Argentine side was quite good but they didn't do well enough in front of the goal & somehow allowed the germans to equalise. their loss = germans' gain <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

England vs Portugal; well to have the game decided by penalties is not really fun to watch.

Brazil vs France; couldn't keep my eyes open to watch this one as it's 3am here when the game started. somehow my hope of having Brazil meting their match was more than just fulfilled. feel sad for Shyon but happy for Barta.

viva les Blues! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

'Bout Argentinia vs. Germany : Both sides played imho very well ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> In my opinion, it was *really* difficuult for *both* sides to get a goal ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

currently, we have a discussion going on about the last few scenes on the place, after the ordeal. There was a small riot (?) between a few players, and this is something, that shouldn't be, imho. There are discussions going on about that throughout Germany.

Apart from that, I'm still kind of das that both Ghana and Swiss didn't make it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I liked both, Swiss, because some good friends in a different forum are from there, Ghana, because nobody knew about it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Portugal 0 - France 1

Les Bleus again rise to the ocassion! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bday_jump.gif" alt="" />

hope they will play well in the finals. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />\

congrats, Barta! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Boo France! Yay Italia!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

It's the Eye-Tye's for me.

No need to congratulate me, I was not running behind the balloon.



Hope they will win the final.

Barta

and so ...
