2006 SOCCER WORLD CUP - Day 10 Thread - Brazil, France, Audtralia on display
MLSnet.com ^ | 6-18-06 | MLSnet.com

Sunday games in the 2006 FIFA World Cup will kick off at 9 a.m. ET (ABC) in Nuremburg with a meeting between the only two winless teams in Group F, Japan and Croatia. They will face each other knowing that a defeat will put an end to their World Cup adventures.

In their opening match against Australia, the Japanese could not maintain a 1-0 lead and they were scored on three times in the last 15 minutes. Croatia's debut was not any better, as Brazil's Kaka scored to give the South Americans a 1-0 win over the Europeans.

In Sunday's other Group F match in Munich (11:30 a.m. ET, ABC), Brazil will continue the defense of its title in facing Australia, which enters the game with high hopes after earning its first ever victory by defeating Japan 3-1. In that game, Tim Cahill became a 'Socceroo' hero when he scored two goals after coming off the bench.

Leipzig will be the stage of Sunday's only game in Group G, pitting 1998 champions France against the Republic of Korea (2:30 p.m., ABC), with the pressure of improving on their first game in which they could only muster a scoreless tie against Switzerland.

Yellow card. He got one in the last game so he's out for the final group game.

Zidane received a yellow card in this game, and with that he will miss the final game in the group.

France still plays Togo, they probably would still advance with a win. Korea should win the group.

That may also be the last time we see Zizou in an international game ever...

He was a great player in his time.

Happy Fathers day to you, too! I worked today and came home and went right to the couch. I'd of fallen asleep, too, if it wasnt for the Korean fans, they were loud! Good game, and it will only get better from here..

After 8 years France finally scored a World Cup goal against a divided country whose main dish is rice and dog innards. I applaud them, but only with pinky applause.
