FIFA World Cup 2010

[peyudosmith]

it's a shame Mexico will get to play against Argentina

they play very nice and it would be awesome seeing them go further but Argentina is too much of a team for them imo

 

[Atlus8]

Actually, I'm glad Mexico is playing Argentina! What good is winning the World Cup if you didn't be some heavy teams?! I'm excited for this Saturday! Sweet rematch from four years ago!

 

[MikeKirby]

Mexico Vs Uraguay was quite a matchup. Uraguay played some really nice defence. Mexico gave up too many turnovers. They gave that last stride in the middle of the second half but couldn't get a goal off of it. Close game overall.

France... well... given the way they qualified, what happend to them was Karma in action.

Mexico Vs Argentina... I hate to say it but given how Argentina's been playing, Mexico is going to have to really pull it together to win this one. I got my fingers crossed.

 

[Teran]

Greece are the most disgusting team in football.

They're actually painful to watch, they intentionally kill the game.

I'd rather watch a MK player win the game by an IDC stall than watch Greece play their bull****.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Hahahahahaha France.

 

[Slhoka]

To be quite honest, I think that the French squad wasn't playing that bad before Gourcuff was sent off. Without this red card, I don't think they would have lost.

 

[Dax]

Great goal by SK right now. It's the first goal on free kick? I don't remember. I think that they deserve to advance more than Nigeria or Greece.

 

[-Rei-]

i'm glad the french didn't get through

the first goal was a free kick and one of the koreans made it with his head along with one of the nigerian's foot


omg goal for argentina as i typed this lol

 

[peyudosmith]

I wanted SKorea to advance too, they play better than Greece and Nigeria IMO and I like them better

yeah, I think that one was the first free kick goal of the world cup. **** jabulani.

 

[Pikaville]

Did you guys hear about North Korea?

The "media" over there claimed they beat Brazil 2-1, so they decided to publicly televise the Portugal game......bad call hahahahaha.

 

[~automatic]

looooooooool amazing read Kim Jong Il.

Citation needed tho.

 

[Slhoka]

Citation needed tho.

Confirmed. I read that on AFP, which is a very reliable source. However, it did not read that they claim to have won against Brazil. But since the article was in French, I'm not sure it's really useful to post it there.

As for the prediction contest, here's an update about Aniolas setting up an incontestable domination :





I had to to this quite quickly, as I haven't much time right now. Therefore, I didn't adjust the amount of games sent too late. Therefore, the percentages are screwed up and I decide to remove the color code for this time.
However, I added everyone's predictions on pool winners. Quite a few people won't have points on these prediction, though, because I estimated that too many games had happened and that it was too much of a help to guess the winners.

Because of ESA4 (big tournament near Paris) approaching, I'll be more and more busy until the 29th. So I'll only update this quickly, and maybe not every day. Sorry about that.

 

[Fuelbi]

Wow... 5 points?

 

[Dax]

Did you guys hear about North Korea?

lol, I won't be surprised it that's again the typical press bull****.

I mean about the brazil part, eh.

 

[Teran]

The team is going to be gassed.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

They got wrecked.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Prediction on America vs. Algeria: Tie.

Again.

I almost feel bad for the North Koreans.

 

[Atlus8]

There is so much pressure on Spain this Friday!

 

[-Rei-]

spain better come out or i will rage

 

[Terywj [태리]]

There is so much pressure on Spain this Friday!

Score-wise they're the underdogs, too. Hopefully they can do this.

oh my god. ><;

The team is going to be gassed.

this. I felt so bad watching that game, not because they were losing embarassingly, but because they were likely going to get shot :/ poor guys.

 

[Mota]

Australia playing again soon, against Serbia, we need to win by 3 goals to have any chance of progressing. We better have a cool ref If the Aussies get red carded and screwed over again FFUUU
CMON AUSSIES!

 

[Jim Morrison]

They'd best get some asylum now.

 

[Pikaville]

Poor North Korea.....

I'm looking forward to the Spanish game!

 

[peyudosmith]

There is so much pressure on Spain this Friday!

indeed

but we'll manage

btw slhoka tell me about esa4 when it's finished! so sad we couldn't make it this time, honestly

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

I want Chile to win.

 

[Teran]

It was so funny I was watching Argentina and South Korea's games at the pub for the second half.

Took a seat in the Korean corner. Even though there's a Korean supermarket on my road I never guessed the community would be so big. **** was live, screaming Korean girls.

Victra would have passed out.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

That probably would have been more annoying than the vuvuzelas.

 

[Teran]

Nah it's fine, I'm a big fan of screaming football fans. Showing vocal passion is better than simulating the sound of flies circling the dead bodies of starved african children.

 

[Mota]

I have faith in Spain.

Messi needs a goal already, guys been assisting everyone else.

 

[GoldShadow]

Who cares about Spain, USA is playing today!

 

[X1-12]

is it just me that doesn't care in any way about the vuvuzelas? I've never had trouble hearing the commentators or anything..

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Nah it's fine, I'm a big fan of screaming football fans. Showing vocal passion is better than simulating the sound of flies circling the dead bodies of starved african children.

Eh, screaming screaming annoys me. Especially women screaming.

 

[Slhoka]

Yeah ! USA got it at the last minute !

But they'll be 1st of their group, so that means that Germany is likely to face England in the 8th of finales. I don't really like that =/

The red card for Algeria was nothing but another stupid mistake by a referee...

Edit : True, Dax, that's pretty sad for Slovenia.

 

[Dax]

Lol, I feel a bit sorry for Slovenia, meaning that they probably believed to still have made it until the end.

 

[Nihonjin]

Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!

 

[Atlus8]

Lol, I feel a bit sorry for Slovenia, meaning that they probably believed to still have made it until the end.

Seriously! That clutch goal from U.S was crazy!

 

[Nihonjin]

^And well ****in' deserved!

 

[-Rei-]

USA USA USA USA USA USA

i literally cried with joy when they made that goal

 

[OFY]

USA was robbed 2 goals mate 2 FREAKING GOALS, I am so proud that they made it USA USA!
