Arsenal World cup day - Tuesday 13/6/06 [R]

[mixmastermatt]

So today we got a handful of gooners in action. At 2pm GMT we got South Korea Vs Adebayor's Togo. Togo's manager doesn't know whether he is staying or going and today alot of players got chicken pox.

In the evening Gilberto Silva's Brazil are in action against Croatia, should be a good game and a Brazil win.

But the most important game of the day concerning Arsenal is France Vs Switzerland, with the big question being.... where exactly will Pascal Cygan be watching it. My bet is not in the Arsenal Tavern. :D

Bur seriously Swiss Tony Vs Thierry is going to be a cracker. After Thierry's amazingly shit world cup campaign in 2002 he needs to have the tournement of his life here to keep the Titi knockers off of his back.

Croatia is gonna surprise the world tomorrow, you heard it here first.

And maybe this should get an [R]?

Figures that I'm able to watch the Togo-Korea match and not the France-Swiss match :rolleyes:, although I don't think the latter will be that good of a match (0-0 or 1-1 IMO). Brazil will start slow, but turn it on and win by two goals or so.

1-0 Togo at the mo.... what a suprise.

[michaec]

1-1 and Togo are down to ten men.

ouch-who got a red?

[Gunners11]

Jean-Paul Abalo for takling down a South Korea play who was clear through on goal.

ouch-who got a red?
53 mins: Park Ji-Sung's sharp turn takes him clear of Jean-Paul Abalo who hauls the South Korean player down, and having been booked in the first-half, leaves Graham Poll with no option but to show him a second yellow card and send him off.

and would've gotten me fantasy points!

[Ziegler1988]

2-1 South Korea. Very entertaining second half.

[billyho96]

I recall Ed saying over and over "Adebayor is a donkey".........he was awful today.

[Ziegler1988]

South Korea win.
I heard France are playing with Henry as the lone striker with Wiltord and Ribery supporting him. I bet Henry gets frustrated if France struggle initially.

[Gunners11]

Ft. South Korea wins 2-1 after going down a goal.

Could someone do a bit of pbp for the France match since I have to work thru lunch???? Any help appreciated!

Is Senderos starting for Switzerland? I'll be interested to see him take on Thierry.

24' min

first real chance, Swiss bang one off the post. France running whole show through Zidane, good idea 10 years ago not so much now, Henry standing around up front pouting.

One man up front, not working. If Ribery is in the game you can't tell.

Barthez remind anyone of Ringo Starr in the kind luck the guy has had.
