WORLD CUP 2010

[Riva]

All these years I though SolitaryWalker is Italian. Gosh good thing I didn't ask to confirm.

Ps to SW -

Italian Italians (not American Italians whom I know nothing about) are supposed to be quite nice. A lot (I mean a lot) of people from where I am from work in Italy. And most of them have a positive attitude towards the Italians. Considers them to be 'nice' people.

Infact I am yet to meet a single person who has condemned them.

Haha, Martin Palermo scored before Messi in the World Cup!

Isn't Palermo the one with the all time record for most missed penalties in one game?

Well he said he was speaking about the players, not the whole nation, so actually what he said made sense (and I basically agree with him, although not to such extremes). Although now he does seem to be a little bit obsessed

Yes I saw that you agreed. And i am glad you did because the Italians definitely didn't deserve to win the last time and what they did to Zidan was pure racism.
It was not only directed at him but also at others and myself . Because for a split second the cheaters attitude moved from the team to the people in my head. I thought I would share that with him and everyone else so that it would not happen to others like it happened to me.

USA needs a proper team nickname. The Yanks isn't cutting it. So far, I have read suggestions of Screaming Eagles and Devil Dogs. The Continentals? Rough Riders (a little gay on that one)? Personally, I kinda want to take the MNT (Men's National Team) and make it "Mutant Ninja Turtles." And the U20 squad can be "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

2 group C matches today. Anyone wants to put a bet?

I bet England would win. That's if they wouldn't go on the defensive. They should attack like the Germans did when they lost a man.

Tonight I bet on victories for the US and England.

It would be quite funny if Italy won the World Cup. All the Italian members of the forum should make a vid chanting "SolitaryWalker Vaffanculo".

He missed three against Brazil once.

How is rough riders gay? When I hear the term I think of two people... Teddy Roosevelt and DMX. Teddy is the epitome of masculinity to some people and DMX well... actually mid-post I watched the ruff rider's anthem video and there are a lot of topless guys grabbing each other, but there are also pittbulls and motorcycles. I think those cancel out each other. Hmmm... wait just noticed the crotch rocket at the beginning has a queen of hearts painted on it. This is all very confusing.

I think I'm ok if we don't have a nickname.

Try bareback riders. Otherwise the US fans call themselves "Sam's Army". Could it catch?

The U.S. should have acquired a portable guillotine for the sideline to try to psych out the Algerians.

 

[teslashock]

And the US is jipped again!!

 

[JocktheMotie]

Yeah they have terrible luck. The game is very open though, at least it's interesting.

 

[teslashock]

I'm not actually watching atm; just heard about our disallowed goal.

Who is US starting up top?

 

[MacGuffin]

It was offsides, by a leg or so.

I don't understand offsides that close in though. Hockey has a blue line for that nonsense.

 

[pure_mercury]

This team really is snakebitten.

 

[JocktheMotie]

The team can't finish. I don't want to hear about the refs. If Altidore doesn't freak out with a nearly open net and blast the ball over the crossbar, this team is winning. It should be 2-0, even without that dreadful offsides call.

 

[JocktheMotie]

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

/please hang on

 

[ajblaise]

Awesome.

 

[JocktheMotie]

That ending was all kinds of awesome.
