I feel for Ecuador

Ecuador had 27 shots against Curacao and failed to score. Not attaining 3 points means even a draw with a powerful Germany might not be enough.

It's a shame as Ecuador play the most South American style of all the teams in the tournament. They will be missed.

I can see them on the half way line

It would seem that reports of Ecuador's demise were greatly exaggerated!

I geddit :)

Glad my concerns for Ecuador were not in-fruition. That game sums up the wonder of the world cup!!  ::wine:: 

Kelly Dalglish says they will probably play England in the next round.  They will put us out!

Not so fast Nick !
Ecuador live to fight another day - most probably v England in the next round.
Loved their passion and commitment today :claping20hands:

Good side, Ecuador. If England face them in the Round of 32, they are out.

When I saw the headline I thought for a minute you were thinking about going there to live.

Marcus is talking about Ecuador I expect.
Although I was impressed with their football.

The German's best chance is to bore Ecuador to sleep and hope for penalties!
