World Cup

Tim Cahill didnt deserve to be sent off, but I think Germany just tore Australia apart.

what sucks about that more than anything, it comes with the 2 game ban b/c it was a straight red.

maybe they can appeal to fifa to get a 1 game ban.

I might be able to watch a bit more if not for the ridiculous horns. Sounds like they are playing in a bee hive.

We had a random draw at work for "our team" to follow. Winner gets a prize. I got Spain. I'm told that is good :)

This Netherlands-Denmark game might be the most exciting I've watched so far. Was busy yesterday so didn't get to watch my team (Germany). Lots of action in this one, however.

Funny it was mentioned, because just yesterday watching the games with my dad, he was complaining non-stop about the noise.

then i find these articles on the web, one saying they are considering banning the horns and the other saying they won't lol

I was watching a game with some friends, I didn't know everyone there and this one airhead girl says "wow there must be a lot of bees in South Africa."

No she was not joking I wanted to harry kerry myself right there and then.

Well, you should have replied that they did have a lot of African Killer Bees.... and the horn blowing wards them off!

very boring World Cup so far. When Germany is the best team playing the best football you know you are in trouble. Teams are taking no risks, no exciting plays, no rushes...just tight defensive tactics that choke the life out of the game. Where are the teams that play for scoring goals not for preventing goals? Where are the low seeded teams that have nothing to loose and upset the big guns? None of them even tried. Meh.

We have a weird team. If they get into a flow, we can advance to the semis and dare I say, maybe the finals (depends who we draw). If they can't get their shit together, we might again be out in the round robin (although highly unlikely considering the skill of slovakia and algeria is extremely poor.) England match was the best opposition we'll face until quarters if we get there. And as for that match I'm very happy with the draw. No matter what it should have ended 1-1, but we had the chance to get the 3 points, so I'm more than confident in our ability to advance to round of 16. Hopefully we don't screw up again like 06 and first half of confeds cup.

Ahem, Slovakia's skill is high. Slovenia, not so much.

I thought that was just soccer.

First few games of a World Cup are usually pretty cagey, no surprises with that.

[Fire0nIce228 1]

I've watched 3 games and I am already sick of the diving and other associated bullshit with these mysterious injuries. Where is the honor? I watched some guy trip over his own two feet and go down like a sack of shit, then complain to the refs about it.

A bodycheck from Dion Phanuef would literally kill 3/4s of these guys.

a sniper clipped his ankle, or maybe the noise knocked him over.

[starsfan71 9]

That's the Italians for you.

Sorry about that one.

I'M not gonna lie, I shed a few tears. Gonna crack open the kirschwasser when I get home tonight.

Watches Invictus this weekend.... best quote from that movie,,,, regarding the difference between Rugby and football (soccer)

"Soccer is a gentleman's game played by hooligans, rugby is a hooligan's game played by gentlemen"

Chritiano Ronaldo is arguably among the most talented forwards in the world, yet he is also, again arguably, the biggest diver in the world. He is such a whiny little bitch it makes me sick.

And people wonder why is not as big as it could be in USA.... Because it's a pussy sport played by a bunch of whiny little bitches.

Soccer's Crosby?

Soccer's Maxim Lapierre and Crosby combined when it comes to dives and cheap shots.

he's not diving, he is slipping on the grease that falls off his head.

that's not rain, it grease flying off his head.

[starsfan71 9]

Ronaldo has pretty good hairstyles though. I have to give him that.
