Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
Germany got called for offsides about 15 times, and scored 4 goals. Coincidence?
wow, ronaldo makes it into an art form
drogba should have taken that shot
ivory coast made a hash of that final corner kick attempt
players kept cramping up? What's that stuff they spray on the legs

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
The commentary for the game summed the Ivory Coast vs Portugal game up nicely.
"I'm going to give my fee to charity today because I don't feel like I've earned it after that pathetic game".

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
I DVR'ed the game. I take it I should save 90 minutes of my life and delete it? Sounds like it was dreadful.

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
I've been anticipating this World Cup for months and it has been a disappointment so far.
I'm wondering if this will be remembered as the World Cup of the (B)Zzzzzz later on because of boring matches and the vuvuzela. We were 3 who bought internet access to matches and the other two are watching the matches with no sound on. I've gotten used to it, but as someone said, you can't really hear the crowd. A commentator on Norwegian TV commented that when Drogba entered the pitch it was the first time you could hear the people cheer over the vuvuzelas' monotone sound in the entire World Cup.
I'm curious to how the reaction will be if we can't hear Brazilian samba and crowd cheers in the match later tonight. And when it comes to the footballing itself, a friend of mine in Germany said it best: "It's a sure tell its a boring tournament, when the best team is Germany". I'm hoping Brazil will make some goals. I'd say 18 goals in 11 matches it not that great.

I'm sure the others in the prediction thingy feel the same.
If you do want to change anything I would appreciate if you just deleted the original predictions and did a complete new set. I go through the predictions after the matches are over so there is no problem with changing.

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
Ah well Brazil have scored two so far I suppose
Brazil 2 North Korea 0 Capitalism Strikes Back
ha ha Brazil 2 North Korea 1
Portugal or Ivory Coast are gonna struggle to break these guys and after the earlier game today I am sure there plan was to hammer North Korea. Looks like it's not beyond the bounds Portugal or Ivory Coast could end up catching the flight home

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
I think Brazil-NK was the best match. A good finish by New Zealand as well. We do need more teams punishing bores who take a 1-0 lead and sit back to defend it for 50 minutes.
I was reminded of why I want Portugal to lose; Ronaldo's ever present diving. A boring game as well.

I disagree. His diving is amazing. Other people wait until they get bumped or pushed to take a dive, he throws himself to the ground when there's no one within a yard of him and gets the call because it looks completely real.
-
Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
I think Ronaldo's diving is so good because he only does it when he can see a foul coming. If he thinks there's more to be gained from the free kick, or if he's about to lose possession, he'll just let the other player go through with fouling him, only he makes sure he doesn't take a bad knock.

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
What a boring tournament so far, gah! It seams every team is playing to avoid defeat instead to win...lack of shots to goal, lack of attacking atitude, teams are scared of each other? lack of goals...completely lack of...everything...gah, gah and...GAH!
I hope Spain can do something good tomorrow. I mean, a good game! goals and performance!
Ps: Let's make a twitter or facebook group to stop that f******g vuvuCRAPS MOSQUITO NOISE!!! I hate that sound!

He's a master of the one and a half reverse pike. Should have been a swimmer.

I prefer Portugal vs the Netherlands. One of the most entertaining World Cup matches I've ever seen.
