FIFA World Cup 2010

[Knyaguy]

Dear god, Robert Green will be the most despised man in London tomorrow. I feel that a cardboard cut of of Robert green is a better goalkeeper than the real Robert Green. I mean honestly, at least the ball would of bounced off of the cardboard, while Green just sucked. As for the rest of the tourament, allez les bleus!

I haven't seen the games as I am hosting a smashfest at my place, but here's an update on the forecast contest.

While most people managed to score points on the two first games (especially Argentina - Nigeria), the draw between USA and England was quite a surprise, allowing those who found the correct result to make a significant jump forward in the ranking.

I thought I was participating in this.

Nevermind, I remembered the deadline for yesterday

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

I'm doing pretty badly in this LOL.

But it's OK, I did it in like 5 minutes.

 

[TheMike]

Brazil will win. No worries.

I haven't received your results on my spreadsheet. Did you fill the forms ? (see http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=10484154&postcount=69)

Edit : I just saw you only filled the form for the 2nd day of pool games. You can still fill the first one, you just won't get any points for the games that already happened).

Edit 2 : I also added the forecasts you gave in one of your previous posts.

I'm doing pretty badly in this LOL.

No johns

Spoiler

(and more importantly, that doesn't really matter)

 

[Mota]

Lol at America substituting in the last 10 second of stoppage time.

England, I expected better. Same goes for Argentina.

 

[Kole]

lol @ england vs. USA

 

[Fuelbi]

Revolutionary War II just happened.

Looks like the US didn't have France there to help them this time didn't they?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

**** I wish I had in on this.

 

[-Rei-]

LOL

****ing green

well i'm american and that was the ugliest goal i've seen but i'll take it

there were so many opportunities for england to untie

usa seemed to have been shaken from the early goal and didn't come together until they had that free morale boost

also they need to actually communicate, there were so many times were they could have passed but instead opted to shoot

 

[Fuelbi]

Good opportunities

Bad thing that Rooney or what's his name is missed a lot of them

 

[trademark0013]

i dont think rooney deserves sympathy like messi

/subscribes. forgot to look for a WC thread. lol

 

[The Greater Leon]

whats up slhoka? :D

 

[Mota]

Going to get thrashed by Germany, but CMON AUSSIES!!

 

[peyudosmith]

i was the leader till yesterday! nice..

i also did that in 5 mins., i don't think anybody has taken more than that, it's just for fun

usa vs eng 1-1, glad i saw that coming, most people were expecting england but usa is def. a tough team

i did pretty bad today btw, algeria got beaten by slovenija so no points at all

 

[~N9NE~]

Good win for Slovenia, poor goalkeeping again.

Come on Ghana.

Finally entered the prediction thing, I have a feeling none of my predictions will come true lol. How can we check outour predictions lol I forgot what I put.

 

[BlackLightning90]

Ghana's defense was really good. That penalty gave them more chances to winning.

 

[Atlus8]

I'll take that penalty!

 

[Teran]

Going to get thrashed by Germany, but CMON AUSSIES!!

I want the Aussies to win too.

Not a huge fan of Germany's national team.

 

[Pluvia]

I'm sick and tired of hearing about football already. The English sure know how to whine and moan about things.

 

[~N9NE~]

lol Pluvia, only the best part of a month left for you to endure. You're from Scotland right? Understandable you've had enough of English moaning.

Germany are just ruthless.

 

[Frames]

aaaaaand australia got *****...tough break *****s

 

[-Jumpman-]

The Netherlands beat Ghana 6-1 like a week ago. Tomorrow The Netherlands vs Denmark. Denmark did better than Portugal, so I'm excited.

 

[Jane]

LOL australia sucks

 

[-Jumpman-]

Australia wasn't too good heh. I never expected them to do good though.

 

[Teran]

I didn't think Australia were terrible, it's just that Germany are fantastic as a unit.

Australia have Brett Emerton though LOL what a legend he should've had man of the match for his epicness.

No Harry Kewell. ;__;

 

[Slhoka]

Yeah for Germany ! It was finally great to see an really offensive squad. Hopefully, the Netherlands and Denmark will give us a similar show tomorrow =)

Here's an update for the prediction contest :

Only a few people managed to score points on today's two first games, but almost everyone won a point thanks to Germany's victory. No one guessed the accurate result, though.

 

[GoldShadow]

Germany had a great showing against Australia, but historically speaking, no European team has ever won a World Cup held outside of Europe. Spain is looking strong though, as well as Brazil among others.

As far as tomorrow's match, I'm all for the Dutchies.

 

[Sraigux]

North Korea will win. If they don't, armegeddon.

 

[Mota]

Hahahahah 4-0, even I didn't expect Australia too lose that badly. Was hoping for a draw.

****ing biased bull**** referee, that red card on Tim Cahill was uncalled for.

 

[Frames]

uh no i'm all for hating on refs but the red card was legit, tackle from behind = auto red

 

[Fuelbi]

God after today's match against Germany, I've come to the conclusion that the Aussies suck at soccer

I don't know why they didn't put Kangaroos on their team, I bet you that they could've kicked the ball so hard that they would've knocked down the German's goalie. I can see it now "Kangaroo Jack Plays Soccer"

It'll be a box office hit I assure you

 

[~N9NE~]

On first thought it was never a red. Looking at it again, yeah it was late and from behind although studs weren't showing. A case can be made for the red.

 

[Teran]

uh no i'm all for hating on refs but the red card was legit, tackle from behind = auto red

Nah iunno he was slightly late and you could see Cahill retracted his legs and put no studs into the tackle.

That's way more yellow material.

There was another far more vicious tackle (can't remember who by) and he got **** all.

So I'm thinking that Referee Zorro was being a bit overzealous with that card.

Maaaan...

Brett Emerton is such a G

 

[Fuelbi]

Does anybody hate the shoes that FIFA makes these players wear?

 

[Teran]

Brett Emerton had bright shiny shoes, because he's a G.

 

[-Rei-]

i heard complaints about the new ball and its control

but that usually happens

 

[Teran]

I heard it was the grass/synthetic weave that was the problem.

And those ****ing vuvuzelas omg.

Sounds like the flies circling the rotting corpse of a gazelle. Bloody Africans.

 

[Frames]

yea those ****in vuvuzelas...

people are making johns about the ball but they do every cup...although i will say i do see a lot of weird **** this cup and maybe it is the jabulani ball...keepers are hatingg on it for sure
