WORLD CUP 2010

[Haphazard]

USA disallowed goals: 2

England total goals: 2

I swear they're trying to kick the USA out because they know we won't watch.

Quit whining yanks, Japan are the stars of the show now. great performance from them!

 

[JocktheMotie]

Definitely very good. Their set pieces have been wonderful and Honda has a great touch.

Yet another reason I love the World Cup: the game commentary destroys commentary in other sports!

After Honda's goal, "Japan's clutch player, opens the throttle! Honda, puts Japan on top!"

Love it.

The Danes should not have scored that goal, Agger dove.

 

[Quinlan]

New Zealand bow out undefeated and ahead of Italy, that practically makes us world champions.

Tomorrow is the fun day. Switzerland can definitely beat Honduras. Can Spain defeat Chile and by enough?

 

[tcda]

Chile are a good side. Mainly thanks to Bielsa, probably the best coach in the world.

Certo, sei un bastardo figlio di puttana

That's such a terrible thing to call your mother...

So, six of eight matches for the round of 16 are set, right?

Uruguay-South Korea

United States-Ghana

Argentina-Mexico

Germany-England

Netherlands-Slovakia

Paraguay-Japan


So, who are the last four to make it, and who do we think advances to the quarterfinals? Argentina-Mexico and Germany-England should be fantastic matches.

I have a feeling that England would beat Germany. I want the German side to win because they provide more entertainment due to their strength, speed and the attitude of never giving up. But they lack the experience the English side has. No matter how good you are at the end of the day experience does matter and the German side compared to the English is far behind. And apparently their squad is the youngest squad since 1934.

You've got some of the quarterfinals matches wrong. The winner of Uruguay-South Korea gets the winner of USA-Ghana, and the winner of Argentina-Mexico gets the winner of Germany-England.

You´re right. I was talking about this with my Argentinian friends today. As it is presented in the FIFA site, we found out that only way that our national teams could face each other is in the World Cup Semi-finals.

We wished each other the best, though.

EDIT: I´m from Uruguay.

Who cares? It's Uruguay.
































Uruguayan.

 

[Oberon]

Football hooligans. Who knew we had 'em at TypoC?

 

[MacGuffin]

What a shitty match.

 

[Donna Cecilia]

Uruguayan.

You got it right.

Not all South-American fans are hooligans, though. I reckon they are a common sight, but not every fan is a hooligan.

What a shitty match.

There have been lots of boring matches on this World Cup so far (Paraguay-NZ, the most recent). Say that same thing around here and you will surely get whacked. Not by me, but some hardcore fan would. Argentina-Uruguay is one of the matches with highest TV ratings, and tickets sold, in the regional tournaments (second only to Brazil-Argentina).

If you understand Spanish, I can suggest you some football sites from around here.

I attempted to learn Spanish, but I'm a worthless American and failed.

We do have an Argentine over at INTPc, so we get plenty of Maradona-love there.

 

[Donna Cecilia]

I know. I have 32 million next to me.

Still, if I had to support a team after my own, I go for Argentina.
