FIFA 2010 World Cup Thread

[Alongside Death]

The match opening the Cup was great, though South Africa was more determined I think, Mexico had an godawful goalkeeper. Discuss the Cup you bastards!

Viva la espana!

 

[entanglement]

We already have a thread for this man. But yeah good ending to the opener. The first half was boring, but SA surprised.

 

[sevag00]

Yeah. The South Africans had a late chance to win, but they hit the post. Good game from both teams.

Has it ever struck anyone that France almost never has any ethnic Frenchmen on their teams? What's it gonna be today, Ribery?

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Gourcuff, Lloris and Toulalan are the only ones I consider French.

Anyway personally I thought it was a pretty crappy first day all round. Both games bored me. And the entire atmosphere is completely ruined by those piece of shit horns.
Football chants and the atmosphere it creates is almost as important as the football itself, hence the 12th man. In this case you cant hear any cheers, booes, songs, just a constant uuurrrrnnnnnn.

Stupid, thick my pals, learn how to chant/cheer.

Tommorw I hope USA kicks England ass.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Ok yes you're on ignore, but you stupid thick as shit retard it's not the UK, its ENGLAND. Read a book you fucking idiot.

 

[Badbird]

Well Enlgand is part of the United Kingdom. I just fixed it.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Oh I dont have the time.

 

[chuj666]

Those trumpets drove me crazy. The first game was o.k. the second game was boring.

Both were pretty good games. Also, half of the players in the French team don't know their country's anthem.

SCREW YOU MR MAKESHIFT ENGLISH GOALKEEPER.

Where is that Hart guy? He's so much better!

 

[hexwind]

Green was dressing in green, he sucked. USA has a good team tho

 

[Episteme]

Pretty disappointing game on England's behalf. I have to say though USA's keeper made some pretty nice saves.

 

[hexwind]

yeah indeed he did.
So far, none of the three big teams that played (France, Argentina, England) were THAT good. The "little" teams (with all due respect) were more entertaining imo.
I'm waiting for Algeria's match tomorrow

 

[Badbird]

USA did good today. Also I already made a thread for this so this one should be lock.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Well well, England will still get past their group I think, despite of this crappy game.

 

[no country for old wainds]

COME ON ENGLAND... GIZZA GOAL!!!

i agree. both green and james are mistake-prone as fuck, joe hart's only problem is his dodgy distribution which is hardly so problematic. he has an air of authority about him too whilst the other two are all too self-conscious.

i have england making the semis on account of them having a relatively easy draw. haven't seen anything to make me think otherwise; this isn't a particularly strong world cup, most of the big teams are either defensively very frail or lacking a creative spark. there's a major gulf between brazil/spain and the others (granted both are yet to play, but i think this will become abundantly clear). wouldn't put it past italy to grind out another WC win mind you. interested in seeing the krauts today - that group's the most fascinating one by far.
