Didn't realise I missed a match on Saturday, which it turned out, was on at half one in the morning (Japan vs Ivory Coast), which probably accounts for why I missed it. :p So I watched it on ITV player earlier, and like just about every match in the tournament so far, it was a good game. Ivory...

Bosnia were very unlucky. :( They deserved to get at least a draw out of the game. Argentina played a little better in the 2nd half, but they couldn't have got any worse than they were in the first! Bosnia did themselves proud. Argentina are going to have to start playing a lot better if they're...

Argentina were totally awful in the first half! Just so uninspired, flat, and dull. Bosnia were definitely the better team, and so unlucky to be behind because of that own goal. Hope Bosnia can get something out of the game!

Parts of the rhythm to the solo also reminds me of Glenn's lead break in that song. And yep, the drums are weak. Not Scott's playing of course, which is great as always, but the mix doesn't do his playing justice.

I was so pleased when Switzerland scored that goal in added on time, particularly as it was justice for the disallowed goal earlier which was definitely onside. There hasn't been a dull game in the tournament so far, they've all been exciting. I hope it continues! :)

Yep. The second lead which I think is by Glenn actually reminds me in parts of his lead in "Between The Hammer And The Anvil". As for the sound, it sounds more like a raw demo, rather than the final mix. Which is fine if you're playing black metal, but not so much for traditional heavy metal...

Dragonaut in it's entirety! I really like the song, though the sound isn't great. Could have been a little longer as well... The lead break sounds like it's Richie first, and then Glenn.

Yep, friendlies shouldn't be taken into account. They're rarely an indicator of a team's true form pre-tournament.

I also said in the same comment "Should Italy go through this time? Absolutely. But it's definitely not a foregone conclusion." That was basically me predicting that Italy were going to go through, yet she accuses me of saying people shouldn't be predicting that Italy will go through? I don't...

Even though I quoted nobody, mentioned two other teams in the same comment, and was talking about the World Cup in general? No-one else took that comment personally, and I have no idea why you did...

First of all, that comment was a general statement, I wasn't just talking about Italy. I also mentioned Greece and France in the same comment. And all I said was "You can never be totally sure how a match will pan out", which wasn't even directed at you, and nor was it even a reference to Italy...

Precisely. It's going to be an interesting match though! :)

Where did I say that you (or anyone else for that matter) can't make predictions? I didn't say anything even remotely resembling that... :\

Of course, but I never suggested otherwise. I certainly wouldn't have predicted that Italy would go out in the group stages of the last world cup, but they did. That, and other previous upsets certainly won't stop me from making predictions on future matches though. lol

Haha! xD So, what score would Germany have had to win by, for it to have been classed as an easy ride? 12-1? :P

Who said it was all a matter of chance? Just because nothing in football is a foregone conclusion, that doesn't mean you can't predict the most likely outcome of a match/tournament. Saying that upsets can happen, is hardly the same thing as saying that everything is down to chance...

True. The side they had in 2010 is arguably stronger than the side they have now, and yet they managed to finish bottom in a group which contained New Zealand. (!?) Italy are definitely favourites going into the first match, but I wouldn't put it past England to pull off an upset there. With no...

The saying is, football's a funny old game, and that's certainly true. You can never be totally sure how a match will pan out, and that's what makes it so exciting. France were knocked out in the group stages in 2002, and the same thing happened to Italy in the last world cup, in a group they...

Italy and Uruguay are definitely the favourites to go through in England's group. Then again, Italy were in an easier group in the last World Cup, and went out in the group stages, so it's definitely not a foregone conclusion that those 2 teams well go through. However, if England were knocked...
