The Golden Boot race is pretty close, seeing that no-one has scored 2 apart from Vieri!

Germany(Pedro Rodriguez,mail)-Finland(mickey fuxxx,pes fan) 2:0
Deisler 39’ (assist Klose)
Neuville 62’ (assist Ballack)
Shots 9-1
Fouls 3-1
Possession 46-54
After the defeat from Paraguay Germany manager Pedro Rodriguez reacted quickly and send me totally changed tactics. And this time,it worked. I must say,though,that I expected more from fuxxx’s Finland but it seems Germany was too big for them. Finland thought until that 39’ when Deisler scored first goal. It was more-less classic goal just not from the same angle. Deisler stood diagonally of the goalie,about 15m far, and shot was so strong that goalie couldn’t do anything. Then Finland dropped the pace and decided to stop fighting. I don’t know why. I only know that Germany had so many chances in second half,including crossbar hit from Klose with a scissors kick. Germans confirmed that they are good headerers in 62’ when Ballack centered and Neuville scored easily. Things are really heating up in group D and instead of being one of not-too-interesting groups maybe became very interesting.
Man of the match: Miroslav Klose(Germany)
Spain(wixon,pes insight)-China(CPU) 1:0
Guardiola 94’ (assist Raul)
Shots 14-0
Fouls 1-3
Possession 52-48
You know it just isn’t fair. Chinese really earned a point here,although statistics tells different. Why? Because their goalkeeper was so damn good. Spain had so many chances but Bao Jian or something like that deserved to be the man of this match, no matter China lost. At the end Spain took three points thanks to Guardiola. Those three points claim their advance to next round of competition. Chinese left empty handed. They just showed that they don’t belong here. They didn’t have a shot whole match,but I guess the fact they have 7 offsides tells something too. Congratulations to Wixon team. His Spain are first team that can relax now when they advanced to the second round. Nobody have to be sorry for China which is run by CPU.
Man of the match : Bao Jian(China goalie)
Holland(Homer J,pes insight)-Ukraine(bluescouse,pes insight) 3:0
Van Nistelroo 9’
Kluivert 16’ (assist Van Hooijdonk)
Van Nistelrooy 63’ (assist Overmars)
Shots: 7-4
Fouls: 3-2
Possession: 54-46
I really thought that this is going to be good match. Ukraine played very good against Cameroon but they just couldn’t repeat it in this match. Holland was too strong for them. Van Nistelrooy scored first goal when shot by Kluivert was punched by goalie and then Rud easily scored. 7’ later Van Hooijdnk made an assist for Kluivert who scored somekind of classic goal from the penalty kick. Final goal in 63’ scored by Nistelrooy again,this time header. Overmars centered the ball and Nistelrooy with a header shot put the ball in top left of the net. I must say that I really expected more from this match. But this was one team show and Holland won to claim their position in next round.
Man of the match: Rud van Nistelrooy(Holland)
France(Paul B,pes insght)-Scotland(fagin,mail) 1:0
Trezeguet 92’
Shots 10-3
Fouls 2-3
Possession 54-46
Just can’t believe it. You know most of the match was pretty boring cause there weren’t any chances. Scotland defended very good and France couldn’t create any good chance. All shots went in the sky. But it was worth watching whole match cause of the last five minutes. Scotland had a great chance in 87’ . Mccan made a low pass from the byline and Dodds got the ball on five meters from goal. He didn’t get it right,though,and the ball went near the post. Then counter attack and really good shot by Wiltord. He hit the post and Trezeguet was in the right place to score a goal. Pau B’s team had much luck in this match and won,although didn’t deserve. In the whole cup Scotland doesn’t have any luck. Not in this match not against Portugal. Well they can hope for even better showing against Yugoslavia and victory at last.
Man of the match: David Trezeguet (France)
Denmark(Cobi,local guy)- Sweden(The_Turk,pes fan) 1:0
Madsen 68’ (assist Rommedahl)
Shots: 9-10
Fouls: 2-3
Possession: 50-50
Yellow cards:
Jorgensen
Well,suprisingly,Denmark claimed their place in second round before Argentina. This match also knocked-out Sweden. Unfortunately,The_Turk’s guys couldn’t win again,but they didn’t control play. Sweden can now just beat Jamaica in third round to save themselves from the shame. Anyway,the only goal scored by Madsen was somehow masterpiece> That’s because he shot from dead angle. The ball hit goalie,then the post and finally net. Sweden had couple of good chances,especially free kick taken by Ljungberg but missed. All in all it was pretty even match but Denmark did that something needed to win.
Man of the match: Dennis Rommedahl (Denmark)
Rep.Ireland(nmaher61,iss extreme)-Norway(tomo 1811,pes fan) 1:1
Carew 86’ (assist Flo)
Roy Keane 90’ (assist Holland)
Shots 7-8
Fouls 6-4
Possession 54:46
Yellow cards:
Rilse
Carr
Two first round losers played in this match. And neither of them couldn’t manage to win in this game. Ireland had more chances but Norway used their only real opportunity in 86’. Flo made a nice pass for Carew. He turned and went elegantly next to Carr to score from the penalty line. In that moment whole stadium thought that Norway is gonna take three points but Roy Keane,Ireland captain tied after great action played. Quinn centered the ball and Holland made beautiful head assist for Keane who pass the goalkeeper and walk into the goal. Ireland had many chances before those two goals,but Robbie Keane and Morrison didn’t score goal. Both teams still have chances to pass in the next round,but it will be harder for Ireland cause they play with England.
Man of the match: Roy Keane(Ireland)
Italy(lukazan,pes fan)-Australia(gangsta9,isse xtreme) 0:1
Okon 48’ (assist Lazaridis)
Shots 7-6
Fouls 3-2
Possession 50:50
Perhaps Senegal beating Brazil was a surprise,perhaps Wales draw against Turkey and N.Ireland’s win against Republic of Ireland is a surprise but this is a SURPRISE!!! I so brag Italy’s play in the first round,but this was tottally other Italy. Australia played really good they played extremelly good and they won. I’m not going to talk about about Okon’s goal,it was pure classic goal after Lazaridis’ pass. gangsta9’s tactics changes are really great and thay have really good chance to advance to next round if they win Japan in third round. italy is definitely gonna have hard time against Czech Rep. Instead of being perhaps the easiest group on the cup,it can be really interesting. Is lukazan going to do something? Or his going to stick to this tactics? This is real blow for Italy cause their place in second round isn’t 100% sure right now.
Man of the match: Harry Kewell(Australia)
Brazil(dannypea,big-football-forum)-Wales(mufc_rule,issextreme) 2:0
Ronaldinho 9’ (assist R.Carlos)
Ronaldinho 76’ (assist Denilson)
Shots: 8-4
Fouls: 1-2
Possession: 54:46
Well Wales managed to earn a point against Turkey but Brazil was too big bite to chew. It all started in 9’ when Roberto Carlos made a great forward run and centered and Ronaldinho put the ball in top left of the net,in the place where Jones just couldn’t get it. Wales had only one chance when Giggs shot and goalie punched the ball,and then Bellamy missed a dive from 5 meters. Changed tactics worked for dannypea’s team. Ronaldinho proved that he is a great player by scoring another goal. The same scenario,only this time Denilson centered the ball with little sharper angle(it is done by tapping circle twice) and Ronaldinho’s head again was in right place. Brazil managed to pull up in this match but they didn’t claim their place in second round and cause of that they must give the best against Turkey.
Man of the match: Ronaldinho(Barcelona)
Argentina(oseany,pes fan)-Jamiaca(da wuu,pes insight) 2:0
Claudio Lopez 67’ (assist Aimar)
Aimar 82’ (assist Claudio Lopez)
Shots 12-5
Fouls 2-2
Possession 51:49
It was nothing but a routine win for Argentina. Oseany one more time showed that his team is world class team and will be in the final draw. Jamaica played good,but they just don’t have what it takes to win against stronger teams. Claudio Lopez and Aimar were the best players on the pitch. They played two actions with the same scenario,just reversed roles. First goal was scored when Aimar cenetered and Claudio Lopez scored with a header. Second goal was all the same.
Well this is the first group where everything is solved. Denmark and Argentina will play for first place,and Jamaica and Sweden for first place.
Man of the match: Pablo Aimar(Argentina)
England(Zygalsky,pes insight)-Northern Ireland(fastcow10,pes insight) 1:0
Owen 81’ (assist Scholes)
Shots 7-5
Fouls 2-2
Possession 51-49
Well guess there were few guys that expected better performance from Northern Ireland. They won Ireland,but just couldn’t beat England,too. Zygalsky’s team really played good and created couple of chances. The best one was for Owen after through pass by Scholes in 81’. And he used it to bring three points for England. England advanced to the next round and Northern Ireland is gonna fight Norway to win a ticket for the next round.
Man of the match: Michael Owen(England)
Czech Rep.(guise,pes fan)-Japan(pete7stephens,iss extreme) 0:0
Shots 4-6
Fouls 2-2
Possession 42-58
The most boring match on the cup!!! There just isn’t anything that I can mention here. All shots ended in the sky,many mistakes from both teams...I just can’t believe that CPU can play a match like this on 5 star difficulty. Well,things in group F are getting complicated. Czech Rep. is first with four points Italy and Australia have 3 points and Japan 1 point.
Man of the match: nobody deserved
Turkey(galatasaray1979,iss extreme)-Senegal(markony,chairman) 1:1
Sukur 38’
H. Camara 51’ (assist Diouf)
Shots 5-7
Fouls 4-1
Possession 42-58
My team really played good in this game and from “neutral” point of view he deserved a point. Kidding aside,Senegal and Turkey both played good. Turkey lead cause of Sylva’s mistake. Sas centered the ball and Sylva,instead of catching it,just touched it to Sukur. Sukur scored a goal with head. Senegal tied when Diouf played through pass and Camara Henry scored classic goal. There’s just something wrong with Turkey. Instead of beating Wales,they draw. Instead of beating Senegal,they draw. Now thay are gonna have hard time against Brazil.
Man of the match: Henry Camara(Senegal)
USA(saintsmike25,iss extreme)-Paraguay(Hugo_viana,iss extreme) 1:1
Cardozo 77’ (assist Gavillan)
Mathis 90’
Shots 2-6
Fouls 3-1
Possession: 50-50
Instead of taking three points,Paraguay took only one. Americans had only one chance in last minute and Donovan shot but Chilavert punched it. How ever,Mathis was near and scored a goal. And Paraguay lead with an excellent goal from Cardozo. Gavillan took the corner and Cardozo jumped and scored. It really was nice goal. Well,Paraguay has match against Finland,and USA is playing Germany in third round. It will definitely be interesting.
Man of the match: Jose Saturnino Cardozo(Paraguay)
Belgium(eliottume,pes insight)-Uruguay(stasman,iss extreme) 1:2
Magallanes 12’ (assist Silva)
Magallanes 65’ (assits Guigou)
Mpenza 80’ (assist Wilmots)
Shots 4-15
Fouls 1-3
Possession 41-59
Uruguay seemed mad in this game. Mad for losing against Spain. Well,they revenged Against Belgium. Tottaly one-sided game,but nice game,however. Magallanes played header after centershoot from Silva for 1:0. In second half Guigou made excellent through pass for the same player and it was 2:0. Belgium managed to score one goal. It was nice goal from Emile Mpenza after through pass by Belgium’s captain Wilmots. Eliottume’s team just didn’t play well,but they have match against Spain to fix it. Uruguay will play China in third round.
Man of the match: Federico Magallanes(Uruguay)
Cameroon(jag87,pes insight)-Nigeria(wozbaca,iss extreme) 0:1
Babangida 61’ (assist Okocha)
Shots: 8-8
Fouls: 1-2
Possession: 51-49
In this match we could see classic african football. Lots of running and chances and very attractive and good actions. It was no how boring match. Cameroon just can’t win on this world cup. They lost 0:1 from Ukraine,now the same result against Nigeria. They can forget second round but Nigeria is going to fight for a place against great Ukraine. Babangida scored only goal in this match with his head. It was more-less classic goal.
Man of the match: Tijany Babangida(Nigeria)
Portugal(bonzo,pes insight)-Yugoslavia(t406jaw,pes fan) 2:1
Figo 45’ p.
Milosevic 47’
Joao Pinto 75’ (assist Pauleta)
Shots: 8-5
Fouls: 0-5
Possession: 52-48
Yellow cards:
Djorovic
Audience really could enjoy watching the last match for today. It was rainy in Virtual city and the pitch was muddy. There were no real chances until Djorovic made a foul in 16m to blame a penalty. He got a yellow card,and Figo scored from a penalty kick. But just after the start of second half Yugoslavia tied. Milosevic made great dribbling,lost the ball but was able to return it and scored a goal from 20m. The main guy to blame for Portugal win is Pauleta. He played beautiful,wonderful,just great hhigh pass(you know,L1+X) and Pinto got alone in front of the goalie. It was easy to score and Portugal win.

Australia(gangsta9,iss extreme)-Japan(pete7stephens,iss extreme) 1:0
Moore 74’ (assist Viduka)
Shots: 9-5
Fouls: 3-1
Possession: 51-49
Yellow cards:
Murphy
Gangsta9’s team showed their real face in second and third round. Beating Italy and Japan is enough to advamce to the second round. Moore brought victory for Australia. Lazaridis centered the ball and Viduka made head pass for Moore,who scored with an excellent dive header. Just great action and teamwork from Australia. At the end of group stage Japan is going home with only a poin,and Australia stays to play at least one more match.
Man of the match: Moore(Australia)
Senegal(markony,chairman)-Wales(MUFC_rule,iss extrme) 0:0
Shots: 6-6
Fouls: 3-1
Possession: 41-59
Well,from neutral point of view,this match was boring match with only couple of chances. But,ny team played and it was very interesting for me. I had really bad feeling about this game before it started and I was right. Wales started really good and on the very beginning had good opportunity but Speed missed it. Senegal was better in air. Diatta had chance after corner taken by Camara,but header shot went touch wide. Well,congrats to MUFC_rule for winning two points with Wales in this cup in this group. Senegal advanced to next round but will he be first or second,we’ll know after the Brazil-Turkey match tomorrow.
Man of the match: Craig Bellamy(Wales)
Norway(tomo1811,pesfan)-Northern Ireland(fastcow 10,pes insight) 0:0
Shots: 10-2
Fouls: 1-4
Possession: 48-52
Yellow cards:
Lennon
After match Senegal-Wales which ended without goals,this match was,for a change,without goals. If CPU continues like this,don’t know what to do.
Anyway,both teams played solid game,but Norway was better,although they didn’t score a goal. The best chance was for Flo when he hit the bar with header. Mick Hewitt had good chance in 53’,too,but unfortunately hit the post from 5 meters. Well it’s all solved in this group. Northern Ireland and England advance and Norway and Ireland are out.
Man of the match: Roy Carrol(N.Ireland)
Sweden(The_Turk,pes fan)-Jamaica(da wuu,pes insight) 2:0
Allback 45’ (assist Ljungberg)
Ljungberg 71’
Shots: 10-6
Fouls: 5-3
Possession: 57-43
It was a match for honor. More for The_Turk’s honor than da wuu’s honor. But Turk ‘s team defended his honor by beating Jamaica 2:0. Da wuu will just have to sign up earlier for next VWC and pick better team. Although this match didn’t decide a thing(except positions) it worth watching it only because one goal. Ljungberg centered the ball in 45’(tapping circle twice) and Allback scored with a scissors kick. But a real one,not fake. Ljungberg scored second goal when goalie punched the ball after Larsson’s shot.
Man of the match: Fredrik Ljungberg(Sweden)
Spain(wixon,pes insight)-Belgium(eliottume,pesinsight) 1:1
55’ Walem(assist Verheyen)
90’ Raul (assist Morientes)
Shots: 8-7
Fouls: 4-5
Possession: 51-49
Yellow cards:
Mendieta
Valeron
Mpenza
Lack of luck for Belgium in this match. They just lose two points in last minute when Raul scored after through pass from Morientes. Belgium scored their goal after great dribbling and shot from Johan Walem,who is man of the match because of this. It was nice action,indeed. Spain are fist in this group and Belgium must keep their fingers crossed tomorrow when China plays Uruguay. And Belgium will advance only if China wins(odd 1:1000000).
Man of the match: Johan Walem(Belgium)

by the way, I'm creating a big file with all the stats of this world cup on.
it currently has: Match Reports (original + re-written), Results, Scorers, Seeds, Team Owners, Groups and Schedule. It will also soon have Group Tables after they have finished. Anyone interested?

I was thinking about that. Reckon it's cos you moderate a forum within a forum. And you moderate both. So it's Zyg squared! Or to the power of Zyg! Scary really!
