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.

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
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.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread
Ronaldo got booked for diving, which was nice. He'll have to be careful about his flailing in the next game. I thought it was hilarious when the Germans ate two yellows for diving, of course they went to the non-Germans Cacua and Ozil, but still, why did they think diving would be necessary against Australia? Divers are a plague on the game.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
At last some points for Brazil...and me.
Brazil is just as I expected. Their lack of motivation due to the fragile-at-sight opponent was almost costing them dear but N. Korea, despite having flown higher over what I've expected out of them definitely, lacks tournament experience and organization. Just have a look at Japan in 2002 and what has become of them today.
Brazil is Brazil no matter what. Whether it is their most humble eleven or not, they are the reason for football.
Congrats go to N. Koreans on surprising determination and late strike.
Tomorrow's predictions are as follows:
Honduras 2-3 Chile
Spain 1-0 Switzerland
South Africa 0-2 Uruguay
