World Cup 2010 - South Africa

that heel pass really was awesome...
but the goal wouldnt have been possible without his arm I think,which lowers the level of awesomeness a lot for me :lol:...but one goal more or less would have made no difference for the côte d'Ivoire.
and their fouling at least had the ball involved in any way...Kaka just went "pow!" with his ellbow + he allready had the yellow card. I thought it was cool the referee throw the red one at him haha
the same for klose vs. serbia...wouldnt fuck around too much with a yellow card^^

Both were bollocks red cards, if I see someone coming at me out the corner of my vision my first reaction would be to rease my forearm, there was no infringement just diving on a top class level.

Could have handed out some Oscars out there tonight, total prima donna behavior from both teams.
 
Brazil today was awesome. Even our crap players (Gilberto Silva and Felipe Melo) played very well. Dunga just need to find a way to make plays with that left wing i always forget the name..Michel Bastos. He always plays too alone.

I think Kaka's red car was underserved but he was naive to behave like that. He plays with african guys every year, and Uruguay, Paraguay and other south american countries also play like that often. So he should know better how to respond to hard fouls.

I love african teams, but they've become so arrogant lately. Almost all Cote d'Ivory players, with the exception of Drogba, looked so arrogant, just like Cameron. I was hoping they classified to the next round, but the disqualification was a good shove in the ass on Etoo. Sometimes he's too much of an asshole. Hope Gana gets to the next round - they're the most humble so far.

Capello doesn't really have enough command of the english language to really communicate properly I feel so theres a sort of breakdown or frustration

Doesn't really apply when they've done VERY well under him before now.



It's funny cause this is the first time I've ever supported England (Turns out I should do it more often!) simply cause now I live in Finland I don't need to hear "1966!! WOO! WE'RE THE BEST EVER!" every single kick of the ball.

The whole 66 thing, seriously... let it go. It was clearly a fluke.
 
Oh my soul (seoul hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) Korea got destroyed. They just couldn't cope with portugal on the break, and if they keep playing like that portugal look reallly dangerous.
 
I think Brazil will take Portugal, it'll be close but I think maybe 2-1, or one goal in it.

Still, Portugal are effectively through on goal difference now.
 
Yeah true, but its a joy to watch a game full of goals, so far the match with most goals and the team with most goals, all in one game lol.

Portugal needed this after the awful display against Ivory Coast, hopefully this will keep the confidence up!
