You're almost right. And i fucking hate that aspect of the game. Diving should be rewarded with a yellow card no matter the situation. I get so pissed every time i see some asshole lay down and whine. But other than that it's a brilliant sport.
Go Portugal! but...Spain will win the world cup.

I never said I didn't like fucking assholes. I enjoy putting it in the butt on occasion.

Lets go France!! I would cheer for Ireland if they didn't get screwed (ref got paid)
If England gets through I'll cheer them on, but I'd rather not have to cheer for damn red coats. ;)
as you can tell I'm a mutt...

Second half you didnt do shit except that lucky goal and thats it. You put Blanco (An old fat forward) and Hernandez that touched only one ball. Southafrica had Mexico playing on their own side all the second half and you were lucky enough not to lose with that 37 years old goalkeeper. I really dont understand why the coach of your team replaces the goalkeeper that took you to the World Cup with this lousy old man.
Hey, be objective, South Africa owned that shit and deserved victory.
No way Mexico, was taking the ball more to S.Africa side. If S. Africa truly deserved to win it. They would have put more effort into it. They had like two easy shots and they ruined it. I'll be honest Mexico was being a bunch of lazy asses sometimes.
I cheered for South Africa when they scored, always nice to see a host team score. They aren't the type of team to push the play, just capitalize on mistakes. Well from what I saw.

I think a tie was a fair result for them both. Mexico dominated the start of the game, South Africa were better in the second half.
Mmmh, yeah, my analyze wasn't the best. You're right, Legs.
Allez la France!!
maybe if i wake up early enough tomorrow at 6:30am i can watch my team greece. doubt it though. still don't care for this futbol thing.
Weak, weak play from both France and Uruguay.
horrible match france-uruguay
Weak at its best. Tomorrow pretty early to wake up to see Greece-Korea
Watch closely to nº 7 from Argentina - Di Maria.
He plays in Benfica - Portugal, my team :)
Saw him play a couple of times with the national team and didnt impressed me at all. I really dont know what this coach sees on that midget, the same with Aguero and Tevez. 2 idiots that only play good in their teams otherwise they plain sucks. Argentina's game will be based around Higuain and Messi.

Yes
Argentina-Nigeria
The final score is kinda a lie because Argentina (Messi) had at least 5 chances denied by the goalkeeper. Tevez and Veron didnt do shit except lose balloons, I hope not to see none of them next game. What did I say about that midget Di Maria? He didnt do shit as expect it. Very nice play but as I said this match should have ended at least 4-0 in favor of Argentina.
Next England-USA a very great match indeed :D
I know and I have to miss it cause I have to work...BOOOO!!! >:(

let´s go USA!
On the second half USA deserved a little more than 1-1. Tomorrow very early Argelia-Slovenia, then Ghana-Serbia and then a very nice match Germany-Australia.
We are just getting started :D

lolz @ the english goalie indeed yes... :)
Ghana won with what it had to offer.
Coming up Germany-Australia
Anyone thinking on an upset by Australia?
deutschland ist dominating
Shit, Australia got their ass kicked in the strongest way.

Maybe the score would have been different if Australia scored that first attempt on the first 10 minutes. Germany played really good but like I think it is bullshit that it has 5 players nationalized germans. Tomorrow Japan-Cameroon and Italy-Paraguay, which would be the big game tomorrow.
QuoteI think it is bullshit that it has 5 players nationalized germans
so u think ure only a german if youve german blood or are born on german ground?
Stoked the Aussies lost...and lost bad.
I was quite happy to support them on an equal basis as New Zealand till they showed their true colours in the friendly.Dirty cheats equates to fail in the world cup and their fans are sore losers to boot.Even the coach admits to it.
I love Aussies but that team is full of bitter and dirty players.See you next time, hopefully with a mature team.
Go the All Whites, at least we will lose with honour and if we win I'll get naked with baby oil.
Nice little game by Denmark & Holland. No surprise in the score.
Holland 2 - 0 Denmark
Holland, as usual in their opening games, sucked balls. Only after 70 minutes did they play decent.

If you cant hear the chants and crowd reaction you lose the atmosphere.I have yet to hear ANY international commentator that hasn't admitted to watching the games on mute.
The thing I can't get over is how constant the noise is, it's like you'd expect the European supporters to be more reserved in their use but it seems even they're at it. If i spent all that money to go there and some special needs guy was behind me blowing a horn in my face for the entire match i'd be pretty gutted.

Yet another draw ¬¬'
horrible gama. again.
Paraguay was totally absent during the second half.
It's all too cagey in the opening matches
Wahoo!!!!
Awesome game by New Zealand to draw and the last second goal was awesome.
Big thing for us to front up like that and it's the first time we have ever had points in a world cup.
Stoked.

It's just the way the game is these days man. It's always happened, but as players move from country to country, league to league, club to club, as they have for many years now, they pick up things along the way. For example, although players have always dived, it really began to get worse in the Premier League in England when the 'foreign invasion' happened. Players would come across from Europe and bring with them certain habits picked up in other leagues. It's now at the point though where it's part of the game. It'll never go away unless there are harsher penalties for it.
Without foreign players though, the Premier League would not be where it is today. The standard of football being played is awesome and the money involved attracts huge stars who, whilst once upon a time brought with them a style of bending the rules that wasn't often talked about, now bring a style of football that forces everyone else to change their game.
I'm chatting shit, but while in some ways football is turning into more and more of a joke, in other ways I think the standard of football being played these days has never been better. It's pure beauty sometimes.
Regarding the World Cup.. The only half decent performance I've seen so far was by Germany. Fuck them.. But they played some outstanding football the other night.
And I think a certain Lionel Messi has a lot more to show.... ;)
Good game just now, I wish Cote d'Ivoire won... Oh, and that we FINALLY get to see some goals too...
I guess that for the next one (Brazil - North Korea), we'll be up for some though... :)
Too bad I'll be in bed !
i say brazil 7, north korea 0
The first 2 matches another draw !!!!! Lets hope for some goals now for Brasil-Korea
(http://cdn.wl.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/vuvuzela-haters-gonna-hate3.gif)
I wasnt impress by Brazil's victory today. It just showed a mediocre display of soccer like the rest of the games today.
Tomorrow Chile-Honduras, Spain-Switzerland and starting second round on their group Southafrica-Uruguay
Looking forward to tomorrow's games.

Argentina owned that match tough I gotta say it took them 30 minutes of the second half to explote completely.
Higuain played great and Messi still cant score with the national team which sucks.
go Mexico, GO MEXICO!!!!
let's see what happens tomorrow with the rest of the matches.

yay greece finally won a match.
Germany got defeated. Wow. ;D
Say what?
Germany 0 - 1 Serbia :D
if i was the USA i would be PISSED. they were all getting held back in the area and still scored?!?!?
I really didnt understand that "foul" and it was clearly a valid goal.
Germany lost yeah and they couldnt score a penalty shot
Baically slovenia were doing so much holding and shirt tugging that the ref got confused and thought USA were holding back Slovenia
It's what happens when they get refs from non-football nations to ref world cup matches. they dont have the experience and fuck things up like this
That REF sucked!!! US should have won!
This is the most fucked up world cup i've ever witnessed so far in my life. It doesn't make any sense.
Well, England were disgusting. The papers are gonna be savage in the morning....
I cannot believe how bad we were.
But at the same time, I can.

We just got a 1-1 draw with the world champs.
Holy.Fucking.Shit.
Epic day for our football fans.Epic.
Italy ain't doing so hot this wc tho, but a draw is a draw is a draw.........
Italy's game this world cup is so bad. New Zealand deserved the victory but that shitty referee awarded Italy a penalty shot.
Brazil's game was good until but the second goal was with a little help of his arm and hand. Paraguay had no struggle on their victory.
N. Korea is getting raped! Roooonaaaaaldo!!!
oh yeah!
Portugal on fire :D

As a proud Irish man I am taking great delight in the collapse of the French team!
Karma's a bitch eh!
Controversial referee Koman Coulibaly was left off FIFA's list for the next batch of World Cup matches following the error that likely cost the United States a victory against Slovenia.
Yahoo! Sports revealed on Friday that Coulibaly was "highly unlikely" to take any further part in the tournament after being given a poor evaluation by assessors following his decision to disallow Maurice Edu's 85th-minute goal. FIFA confirmed Sunday that Coulibaly will not play any part in Tuesday or Wednesday's matches, which will include the USA's critical Group C finale against Algeria.
Instead, as they step into the arena of Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday with their World Cup life at stake, the Americans will be officiated by a man who has just witnessed a combat far more brutal than any game in the tournament.
Belgian referee Frank De Bleeckere will prepare himself for the occasion by watching a DVD of the movie "Gladiator" before taking center stage in a game that decides the USA's destiny – with a victory guaranteed to put the Americans through to the round of 16.
FIFA deliberately assigned De Bleeckere, a highly experienced and respected referee, to this game in response to the storm of controversy that came after the United States' 2-2 draw with Slovenia. De Bleeckere has been in charge of big matches many times in the past, most notably a Champions League clash between Chelsea and Barcelona in 2006 which came a year after a pair of explosive matches between those European super clubs.
"I don't look at reputation or anything that has gone before," De Bleeckere said. "I will watch the previous games of USA and Algeria to help me understand their tactics and work on my positioning. But I will watch 'Gladiator' first."
Referees at the tournament have come under heavy criticism after a series of bad calls compounded by a stubborn refusal to explain their actions publicly.
On Monday, the FIFA referee committee tried to go on a charm offensive by inviting the media to an open day but totally defeated the object of the exercise by refusing to answer questions about specific decisions.
Neither Coulibaly nor Stephane Lannoy – the French referee who erred in sending off Brazil's Kaka against the Ivory Coast on Sunday – were present. Coulibaly's assistant, Inacio Candido of Angola, was in attendance.
When asked if the controversy following the Edu no-goal had affected Coulibaly, Candido replied: "A referee is like a player. When they lose an opportunity to score a goal, they put it behind them."
Im glad if that referee is send home because he fucked up big time.
Portugal was on fire today 7-0 ! Chile did a pretty good job but I tought the official of this match was a pain in the ass for all the players, 10 yellow cards and 1 red.
Spain should have won at least by 7 goals like Portugal, but instead they did a pretty decent job. They even missed a penalty shot which I think it was so stupid.
Tomorrow matches Mexico-Uruguay, France-South Africa, Nigeria-Korea, Greece-Argentina.
Fucking Mexico!! Fuck that I'm rooting for Portugal now. :-\
Sad story for France, really.
Quote from: MxKnife on Jun 22, 2010, 03:44 PM

it's not quite over for Mexico. Both Uruguay and the Mexicans advance.
has any country in south america even lost 1 match yet?
uruguay just beat mexico, so yeah. I can't remember any others.
Honduras just got sent packing yesterday
that's right.
well, TECHNICALLY mexico and honduras are in central america, which is really part of north america.
but the point is, while teams like England and France are kind of choking (England's still in it, but barely) south america's Chile, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina are playing insanely good right now.
Huge, huge next game for us. I don't know what to expect.
the Revenge of Mexico vs Argentina??
I hope so, really hope SO!
What a sorry end for France. Argentina and Uruguay both won and it was obvious that both were going through. Mexico lost and now they have a tough match. Tomorrow England decides their future.
I'm calling it. Argentina vs Mexico 3-1.
Bravo, USA. :)
I nearly had a heart attack watching england, so glad we held on and played well for the whole match
so USA was 2 minutes away from being eliminated, but end up winning group C? awesome.
USA deserved it so much. They got fucked last game by a referee that didnt know what foul he saw. In my opinion, England doesnt deserve to go to second round because they showed a shitty display of soccer. Algeria did a much better display than England. Coming up the Germany-Ghana a very interesting match.
Kick Ass!! It's about time we had some good luck! WTG USA!!!
The USA/Algeria game was so painful to watch, but well-worth the end. I'm really getting sick of the refs and commentators (I watch ESPN). I know it's inevitable that commentary will sway political at times, just because it's an international event, but jesus, sometimes it's so unnecessary.
England had their share of luck to survive the group phase, but now it's over. Germany to win on Sunday.
I want us to win so bad but..... I think its gonna be Ghana vs Uruguay and Germany vs Argentina.
either way it only gets harder for us.
England will beat ze germans ya!
Italy just got erased from the World Cup. They remembered to play the last 30 minutes of the game. Slovakia's last goal was just ridiculous, all the defenders were like "Oh lets learn to throw in and score" and boom ! The last time that this happened to Italy was in 1974. Paraguay-New Zealand was a snooze.
Coming up Cameroon-Netherlands and Denmark-Japan.

NZ really did themselves proud, I mean considering you don't even have a professional nation league you put up a fight against a lot of well paid 'pros'

It's the best we have ever done in football which is a huge minority sport here.Watched every game, the draw against Italy was HUGE but I thought we let ourselves down a bit playing Paraguay and were close to making the 16.
Either way I plan to greet the team at the airport with a few friends and hope to shake a few hands.So proud of what the team did for themselves and football in New Zealand.
Fully supporting Slovakia for their maturity and respect towards us when we played them and the fact they are major underdogs, like we were.
They also use as much hair product......just.

Next time wait for your lousy nation to qualify instead of giving stupid predictions. What a stupid idiot. I wonder if you said the same on spanish talking boards, if you did I hope you are getting "nice" messages and I hope you get some of those nice messages here on this board from fellow chilean fans. Asshole.
I hope we (the netherlands) loose, all the orange stuff is making me vomit.
Do all you other countries have that much WC related goodies as we do? Here you get something at every darn supermarket.
And not to mention the infamous 'Orange dress' which l think looks like a potatoe bag with a fancy rope.
We even have a company that gives away one free year of electricity if we win the world cup to everyone who signs up before July.
It's !$%^& ridiculous.

It'll be a very interesting match, but I don't know, I don't have favorites but maybe Germany will win... who knows, really, ut it's from what I've seen..
Argentina is playing surprisingly good, since the team was kind of fighting between themselves in a subtle way an year ago. It has become a really good team.
Argentina is the most solid team of the tournament, so far.
Im very pissed off and sad for USA. They didnt deserve to lose this fucking way. Only 2 chances for Ghana and they scored, what a fucking lousy and lucky team.
I really hope Uruguay fucked them up really good >:( Fuck you Ghana Fuck you lucky bastards. Thank the referee too, he was your 12 player. >:(
yeah the last 25 minutes or so of that match is exactly why i dislike soccer, and why it will never be a popular sport in the US.
Booo :(
Quote from: bright lights, big city on Jun 26, 2010, 09:13 PM

That's absurd...
i know i probably shouldn't have said that, it will piss people off, but seriously i've realized with this world cup that soccer players are the biggest floppers and whiners and divas on the planet. plus the "strategy" of playing keepaway by ghana for the last 25 minutes... fuck that, that's bush league.
To be honest USA should have held on to their 2-1, if they let ghana back in it ofcourse they will try everything they can to keep themselves in the match, they were the underdogs and the last african nation in the worldcup! Howard should have saved both, to get done at his near post for the first with his amount of experience isn't good enough. USA's attitude has always been very good though and to be honest they could have sailed through the match on another day.
Obviously between England and Germany there is lots of history. Should be a tough match, but England didn't beat Germany in a while, and today it's not going to be any different.
I wonder how people in Portugal and Spain think about their upcoming match, considering both nations are very proud of their football team and would hate to lose against their neighbor. Spain might have the stronger team, but I am sure the Portuguese are not planning to give away any presents.
Well, I think that robbed goal totally killed England motivation. Germany destroyed the second half.
The second half could have been entirely different. If the teams were tied at half time, both teams would probably have been more careful, and maybe the end result could have ended up entirely different aswell. With that said, i think Germany would've still won. They have so much quality in all parts of the team, and they play so well together. It's such a joy to watch the young guns like Özie and Müller ripping the English team to shreds. I'm guessing Germany go all the way this year, allthough i really hope Spain will win.

+1
yup still calling it.
Argentina>Mexico 3-1
EDIT: and yes Argentina was off sides on that first goal. unfair call on the officials.
Goodbye Mexico
I gotta say Argentina played like shit the last 20 minutes and must get tougher for the next objective: Germany
Germany>Argentina 3-2

That is totally fine because Germany is playing really great. Besides we are just talking about this game only, whatever it comes let it come ;) If Argentina wins will you root for the other team so they can get eliminated? LMAO
Argentina (Daddy) sent you home again so deal with it ;)
Anyway Tomorrow's matches
Japan-Paraguay
Portugal-Spain
Damn dude it's just a football game. Don't be a fucking football Nazi. I'll root for whoever I wanna root for. If I want Germany to win vs Argentina is just cause my home team lost. And I want a little vengeance.
Stop being a little bitch, quit fucking belittling ppl on here about football and just enjoy the damn tournament!

My bad tomorrow's games are Netherlands-Slovakia and Brazil-Chile. Pretty awesome games
Argentina-Germany is already a sweet Q/F, but Netherlands-Brazil belongs right there as well.
Ok Today is gone
Tomorrow's games
Japan-Paraguay
Portugal-Spain
Big awesome games tomorrow.

And the winner is:
Paraguay did an awesome job. Spain was spain as always kinda meh. Portugal's goalkeeper was a true warrior today and to be honest Portugal didnt deserve to lose that way. Now we must wait 3 days without soccer :( And then is when things r starting to get tougher.
Oh by the way that Paraguay babe is called Larissa Riquelme ;)
One national team from South America in each quarterfinal, that's pretty impressive.
I'm still hoping for a Netherlands-Germany Final.

holy shit this Uruguay - Ghana game is fucking intense.
You got that right!!! That last minute was crazy and then missed penalty shot.!
Uruguay deserves it more than Ghana. What happened to Brazil is because their ego got too big for themselves.

As expected you are a pathetic mexican LMAO Now Im pretty sure you are rooting for them to win LMAO What a pathetic piece of shit. You give bad credit to the ppl of your country.
Argentina played like total shit today. The first goal was what got this team down. Messi didnt do shit with the exception of losing balloons. I really dont understand why the coach took that long to make some changes.
Coming up next Paraguay-Spain which I think is going to be an awesome game.
There is no better team than Germany. Fact! What a game...

you better shut up dude. As it is shown, and as i've been saying, Argentina didn't have a good team, they were lucky cuz they played against minor teams (even Mexico could beat those chés, but they were victims of their own errors), Mexico started dominating he Argentinians, but since the error from the referee, the lose concentration (and I'm not saying it's an excuse, they SHOULDN'T have lose the concentration, specially during the 2nd goal.)
So now they play against a pretty decent team (IMO the best team of the tournament along with Holland) and they show their real face.
GO GERMANY.
I have to disagree.
Until now, Argentina has been showing a solid game and was the second best team of the Cup, first one being Germany.
On the other hand, RoyalDeftonicBoy, you know it but, calm the fuck down. Your racists posts are not accepted here. First warning.
That was the funniest day in a while. Right after the game we went to the city centre. Today my voice is hardly working.

I'm not against Argentina, Messi is one of my fav players, but same goes for Brazil, they weren't playing that good...

I agree with this. The problem in this match is that the players wanted to show off for themselves and not play as a team, individualism killed the hope. And I sustain think messi did a nice job at first, not playing the Ego role. Germany were clearly more effective and their tactics proved to be more powerful than ours in the right time. Shit happens, I guess.

Tomorrow Germany-Spain I gotta go with Germany because they have been playing like an army of destruction. Anyway Spain might be Spain again and score with 10 minutes left LOL
Netherlands did a great job especially that first goal, but you cant say Uruguay didnt do a great game. Good for them and I hope they get the third spot.
haha that octopus is scary...I'll go today with Spain...we'll see.
owww i want spain but i have a feeling it will be germany the way they have been playing. damm those good germans!
The Germans don't do 'pressure' they will just go in and beat spain, take a piss and go to sleep.

Dude, come on. Spanish game wasn't THAT amazing. Germany played the perfect game during the whole cup, and here, they weren't even playing.
Because Spain didn't let them play. It's not that Germany weren't good, what little they managed to produce was really dangerous, but they just didn't get the chance very often.
Yeah it really seemed like Spain had possession of the ball for most of the game. I was really hoping for a better game to be honest but oh well. You have to wonder how the game would have gone if Mueller played in it. Oh well.
It was no good performance at all by the Germans compared to the England and Argentina matches. I'm still glad we got this far in the tournament.

True that... I think Spain did an impressive game !!
So after Germany losing, I'm with Holland.
GO Holland!!!
Barca.... Sorry, SPAIN to own.
gg
germany 3rd place and "champion of the hearts" again ;)
Go Holland.
Let's go Holland! ;D
That was a bad tournament, seriously.

Well, that was indeed a bad game, Spain didn't deserve to win, but Holland did not played well, if it was deided on penalty kicks, it would've been ok though...
I thought it was a great game. Lots of chances both ways, exciting as hell.
Spain deserved to win for its constance despite adversity.Netherlands played their dirtiest match ever, truly unfair play. And that was a truly entertaining and emotive match...oh by the way that referee should get their feet cut or something so that he never steps on a football stadium again. he sucked more than my granny after farting.

Spain didnt deserve shit. Their game was dull and boring the whole tournament and all their matches were won with 10 minutes left. Boring World Cup, hopefully Brazil 2014 would be much much better. I would be so going to watch it along some linda garotinha xD !
happy Spain won. the Dutch played an ugly game imo. it was a good month. now to wait another 4 years..........

Im waitin for the Euro so Netherlands can have their revenge!
Obviously the group with the Netherlands, Portugal, Denmark and Germany will be the toughest of them all.
Denmark maybe the least likely to make it through, but I wouldn't write them off since they got good players in all the big European leagues, so they have an outside chance if they bring a good team effort.
Netherlands and Germany the big favorites, but Portugal can beat any team on a good day ( but also suck pretty hard like the losses to Norway or Denmark in the Qualifying tournament )- So we'll see, I definitely can't wait for it to begin.

Oh you haven't seen the rejuvenated German team then, they're unstoppable. Plus I am confident Netherlands will finally beat Portugal once and for all....
There is hardly a match of the German national team I haven't seen in the last few years... maybe a few test / qualifying games when I had to work or something.
All I'm saying is I think this group won't be decided before the final two group games.
Though that doesn't mean I don't expect Germany to get through.
It seems more like the first game: Germany-Portugal and the last game Netherlands-Portugal will be deciders PLUS Germany-Netherlands.
I think this group by far is the worst group of death. Even more than the last Euro when Netherlands were drawn with Italy, France and Romania.
According to that logic, no matter how Denmark is going to play, the results won't matter anyways. => a.k.a. you're wrong
They're not gonna give away free wins because they're such a cute little country. So I'm gonna stick to what I said.
And I don't get that second sentence either.
For me the worst thing about this group is that only two teams will reach the knockout stage, so what is wrong about it?
May I ask you something - Do you even watch football?
Because so far I'm not sure if you're making fun of it or if you actually mean what you write, at least regarding this topic.

Well, look at the currrent squads of all the teams. Germany and Netherlands are close to 5 star teams, without a doubt their top players will be competing in the Euros. Portugal is a good team too and Netherlands have lost to them twice already in 2 tournaments so lets see what happens this time, Netherlands have a very experienced and talented squad. I am writing off Denmark (no offense to anyone here) because they're not as good as the European giants drawn in their group.
I watch A LOT of football: English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch....
In regards to my second sentence, I was comparing last year's group of the death to this year's group of death. Seeing now there are 3 highly competitive teams and one that isn't very competitive, its going to be interesting
Portugal also thought they'd end up first in their Qualifying group, and in fact it was Denmark.
So it appears they didn't shit their pants cause they had to play one of the "European giants".
But you know, its all good. I'm actually happy we got such a difficult group. We all expect our team to get through, and I prefer a tough group and better preperation for the later stages of the tournament.
