Compared to previous tournaments, the Dutch are playing some very boring football so far in this world cup. :(

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

Woohoo 1 : 0 :D

Not the most exiting match but i guess we keep the best for last.

Next time more Afellay and hopefully Robben.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

LOL, Nicolas Anelka is probably being sent home to France. Apparently he unloaded like a ton of bricks on team manager Domenech at half time during the Mexico match :lol:

Latest WC Update

All future England matches have been moved to the Gay Adult channel. Apparently the sight of eleven arse hole's getting hammered frequently for 90 minute's has been deemed too explicit for ITV and BBC. :-)

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

If your watching it, check out Rigobert Song . Scary or what ..

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

HMMM you know what sod the bloody football its going to be the rugby world cup for me next year this is just too bad for me to even comprehend England really need to sort their bloody act out but then again whats the bloody difference to any other Football world cup. At least we have a chance in the rugby.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

Meh, imma bet 2-0 to Denmark ;)

Big Ben will make 1

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

Probably a draw like most of the games, or at least half of them.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

What to expect?

That the best team will win.

I simply dont know enough about cameroons team, so its diffult to say, although I naturrally hope that Denmark will win.

I know they have Eto and I know we have almost zero offensive skills available on the present Danish team, so...welll.

Who knows?

Hopefully some great football!

Expect the unexpected.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

ESPN says that the ref from the US-Slovenia soccer game may be axed for the rest of the World Cup.

Serves him right, too. I was reading around on some websites where they were saying that he comes from an anti-American family who claims that early ancestors of his were taken as slaves back in the 17/1800s.

We'd be leading in our group if it weren't for him.

Also he really doesn't know or speak English so when the players complained to him, he didn't really understand and just ignored them. That's probably the biggest flaw in international sporting events, there needs to be referees and other officials that can speak the langauage of one of the teams on the field. If the ref was fluent in English the U.S. probably would have won the game.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

Actually even if the ref understood the language their explanation wouldnt matter...its his job to ignore the complaints of the players. (the FIFA rulebook says so)

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

Yeah, I however think that there should be a check on the ref, IE, he should have to explain his actions, either directly, or through FIFA. There is no reason why this should happen.

The only thing that I can see resembling this, is the case of the umpire who royally fucked up the perfect game for that one pitcher. The difference is, that umpire ended up being very sorry, and cried. I felt bad for him, as he truly was one of the best blue's in the game, and I respect the fact that he was willing to call the game the way he saw it.

This Ref however, is a disgrace to FIFA and to soccer. I am more pissed off at the fact that he doesn't have to explain himself ever.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

1-0 for Cameroon..

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

Eddie nailed it. That umpire felt like shit, and he admitted within an hour that he just blew the biggest call of his life. The pitcher was tremendously good-hearted about it, and what started as a really lame story became an awesome display of sportsmanship.

The FIFA referee, on the other hand, just ignored the players and continues to ignore everyone. What an ass.

Also, did anyone else notice that he gave a guy a yellow card for an intentional handball after it hit him in the face and then grazed his hand? What a moron.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

Im loving how Americans are finally getting behind football, been a long time coming (and apparently Soccer is the most played Sport in the USA)

And well done Denmark you just scored!

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

Way to finish with a nice precise kick Thomasson.

:P

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

lol it's a really enjoyable game, both teams full on the attack.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

We only care about soccer every 4 years.

I don't think soccer is the most played sport in America though. It's probably bowling or basketball.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

GOAL!!! 2-1

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

Surprisingly, a USA player scored the first ever hat trick in the world cup back in 1930.

No way it is. Where did you hear that? It's popularity is definitely on the rise though.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
 

It's the most popular sport for youths.

Also, that Danish guy got blasted right in the head. That had to hurt.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
