1. Write a parser script to get the page from http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/group/index.html and output to HTML files (group_a.html, group_b.html,...)
2. Modify parser.php :
a. Add some special tag for example :WC2006GroupA: :WC2006GroupB:
b. Add a new function "do_wc2006" to check tag and include HTML corresponding file at step 1.
3. Run cron job on script 1. to update automatically
That's all

England 1 - 0 Paraguay
As usual, England played like a world class team for 45 minutes and like a pub team for the next 45 minutes.

Re: Football world cup - Germany 2006
England ftw!
Re: Football world cup - Germany 2006
I think England really do look very promissing this year but teams such as argentina, france and brazil are a big threat as always. Being english i obviously want england to win it but i think brazil just have that little bit more skill.
Re: Football world cup - Germany 2006
Germany.
Btw interesting fact is that Brazil's 23 man squad has a market value of 410 million Euros. 
Re: Football world cup - Germany 2006
The current odds are
Brazil - 5/2
England - 8/1
Germany - 8/1
Argentina - 17/2
Italy - 10/1
Holland - 14/1
France - 14/1
Span - 14/1
Portugal - 25/1
Those are likely to change based on todays performances.
Re: Football world cup - Germany 2006
England have a chance... and they can beat all the big teams on the right day..... unlucky for us that day is not often enough.
Re: Football world cup - Germany 2006
England have a chance if they remember that football matches last 90 minutes not 45 minutes and the blessed Sven leaves the most important players on the pitch for the whole match.
Update
Sweden 0 - 0 Trinidad
Oops!

And that was a big surprise! Actually Argentina and Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire) was a big surprise too.
Re: Football world cup - Germany 2006
Ivory Coast should won this one .... they had much better play ...but Argentinians play smart and that gave them the win .... I doubt Argentina will do something with this kind of play they showed us today
Re: Football world cup - Germany 2006
I watched Italy - Ghana yesterday. It was a very entertaining match. At least the first 45 minutes of it. Italy won 2 - 0 in the end and that was probably fair, but I think Ghana deserved at least one goal.

Brazil didn't do too good... they left alot of chances =/ As we say here in Flanders, "knoeiers" ^^
Re: Football world cup - Germany 2006
And they got lucky for scoring that one goal because of Kranjcar mistake. I can't wait today for Ukraine to play against Spain. It should be very good game
