    No, Kezman is not Czech (although right now I bet he wishes he was).
    As for mislabeling him, I'm not surprised at all... with how often Serbia changes borders and name, even we get confused at times...

    PS Right now I wish he was Czech too, stupid fucker got sent off...

    4-0!!!!! WOOOOOOOT!!! :D

    Crespo, you bastard...goal!

    Sorry, IP...it looks like this really isn't Serbia's day. Argentina pretty much was the only team playing, even though the possession percentages are quite close (56:44).

    PS: IP...i'm almost done with Chapter 6 of Chimera, would you be willing to give it a read through?

    Heh, we just beat the record! 6-0! And still more time till the end... Too bad I am biased so I can't truly enjoy such a beautiful ass-raping by Argentina... At least the fallout and blame-shifting will be fun to follow...

    Sure, send it in.

    Heh, I luv Oranje..
    Everyone here is orange.. :p
    Even my teachers had orange clothing today (looked veeeery weird)
    My prediction for Holland-Ivory Coast: 1-1, or 2-1 ^^
    I don't think that the Netherlands will win the World cup, but just the Orange/WK-hype here is fun. There are even orange TV's and toasters for sale :p

    Netherlands/Argentina?

    I think you're mistaken...Argentina played Serbia and Montenegro today. The Netherlands are gonna play the Ivory Coast...which should start in a few mintutes.

    0-0 Angola/Mexico.

    I feel as though that was a waste of time..

    Angola's defence was just insane..

    Angola should have won, they played much better and really put their hearts into it... Mexico couldent make a single pass without it going wrong somehow.

    That was a great match between Czech and Ghana. Not so much of a surprise as it may seem at first glance; Czech were playing without their two main strikers, while Ghana has a great team. Still, I hope both of these teams make it to the second round...

    ... which is why I'll be cheering for USA to kick some Italian butt tonight (or at least wrestle a draw).

    ROFL! That was a great first half.

    USA were given a surprising gift when Italians scored that funny auto-goal and Rossi got himself sent off 2 minutes later, but I feel they wasted their big shot to reach the second round when that guy Mastroeni (Italian name? Hmm...) followed Rossi's example. I'm affraid Italians will ground USA to dust with their experience. But one can still hope...

    Ended in a 1-1 tie between USA and Italy. To many red cards got thrown around, made the game quite boring.

    Are you crazy!? That was a great game! The Americans played a truly inspiring match, managing to outlast Italians with only 9 players on the field. Not to mention that Nesta's hand play should have been punished with a penalty (Referees ALWAYS help out Italians one way or the other).

    I agree with Ip that was a good match, i've got far more respect for American football now.

    EDIT: They deserved victory. I smell an Italian bribe.

    Mm its the fact that everyone was getting tired IP. It was amazing that the US managed to keep it at a tie. But the players got tired.. thus less excitment.
