World Cup 2010

[Grahav]

We need techs. Today proves it.

Although: Messi, Ozil, Higuain, Muller, Tevez, Klose... It will be VERY interesting to watch. I dare to say it will be the best match of the cup. Too bad it isn't a final.

 

[Pariah87]

Or Lampard's goal.
*sigh*

Let it go dude, qualifiers will begin for Poland 2012 in a few months and by then we'll have a new manager. (I predict, if he hasn't already, Capello will resign in the next couple of days). So lets concentrate on the future and put it down to the fact that we were pretty much dire the whole tournament.

The fact is, I am not a fan of English. I am Russian and I already had to let it go once after our embarassing display against Slovenia.
So, yeah, although Lampard is my favorite player, I would not begrudge Germany the victory.
But that was utter crap.

Carlos goal the best thus far this World Cup?

Heck of a strike.

It was fantastic, sure, but I would say that Fabio Quagliarella's super goal for Italy was better.
Or Lampard's goal.
*sigh*

You know it, I know it, England and Germany know it, the world knows it. It was a goal. 4-2.

When the sport is being this badly affected by their refusal to use technology, what's the point in even playing it? So unjust. And Mexico got screwed even worse tonight. HOW did that linesman not call that offside...

Yeah. The worst thing is, Mexico was actually pretty damn good. They dominated the whole second half.
This is so unfair.
EDIT: This is what the FIFA.com report says about the Lampard goal: "Meetings between these two sides often provide talking points and this one's came 60 seconds later when Lampard's shot from the edge of the box struck the underside of the crossbar and bounced down, with the referee ruling the ball had not crossed the goalline".
Yeah, no mention anywhere else, no words about how EVERYONE saw it was a goal and no mention of Tevez's offside goal anywhere on the site.
If FIFA is trying to cover up its horrible mistakes, they are doing a horrible job at it.

All we have to do to see FIFA's horrible mistakes is to turn up the volume on our TV...

If it's not 'BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ' it's 'What was the referee thinking?'

What about the one by Honda in the Japan/Denmark game?

One hell of a free kick, even if Denmark's goalie mucked up big time.

The Netherlands is up against Brazil or Chili.

Go Orange! It might have been a boring match, but Robben is still in top form.

So, yeah. Woo!

That would be us against Brazil then, should be a great match!

Paul says we'll win against Argentina, woohoo!

Also, I'm rooting for the Oranje in the match against Brazil.

You could win, Argentina were shit against Mexico, got 2 extremely lucky goals.

I don't want to think about qualifiers for Euro's after the last failed attempt to qualify. Wow we have a diabolical national team sometimes.

Must admit I let out a girlish laugh at that when it went in, what a strike it was. Best of the tournament so far for me.

The England team went out to visit an orphanage in Cape Town on Saturday morning. "It's good to put a smile on the faces of people with no hope, constantly struggling and facing the impossible," said Jamal Umboto, aged 6.

Hahahaha. Nice touch.

I can't wait for the Spain Portugal game. OOOOOHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHH!

 

[Brotherofwill]

It's decided then. They might aswell skip the formalities and not play, I'm sure Argentinia would understand. Good rest for them before the semi-finals.

It was a hell of a game - one of the few that I watched (I'm not overly interested in football).

I liked the commentators talking about the free kick "He may have the posture of Ronaldo, but there's no way he'll ever get that in from there. He shouldn't even try..."

For some reason, the games with the "underdogs", like Japan, have been really interesting and fun to watch, unlike any of my international team's (England) games. I mean, in the last 5 minutes against Slovenia, England just kept the ball in one corner and stood in the way. It may be a good tactic, but it's not very sporting, nor would I call it "playing football".

GO GO JAPAN!!

That's it then. Victory is assured! God, I love that clearvoyant cephalopod.

Also, seconded on rooting for the Netherlands in their next match. I'd rather we faced them somewhere down the line instead of Brazil.

 

[Ekit]

Dammit!

Now all the teams I rooted for are out!

Oh well, Spain vs. Portugal will still be entertaining.

 

[FinalHeart95]

I feel bad for the guy that missed that PK. He must feel like utter shit.

Still, I think South America needs to give other teams a handicap. After all, only one of them has been eliminated so far... and that was against another South American team.

Oh well, GO NETHERLANDS (and their sweet jerseys).

 

[Ekit]

Wasn't Spain's goal offside?
