World Cup

[Limited]

Yes, oh god yes, the biggest tournament of the biggest sport in the world kicks off tomorrow, it what maybe the most watched tournament ever.

The last world cup had a combined 26 billion viewers (counting viewers each game).

I'm totally pumped, the streets are decked out in the good old Saint Georges flag here, every one is in a party mood :D

For England, first game is against USA on 12th, what a cracker it will be.

Obviously my first team is England, second and third are a split between Holland and Spain, Spain are looking very menacing and could do it this year, then again this is Englands best chance!

If we go out on penalties, again I will go ape shit.

If you want Americans to care about soccer, you're going to have to trick them. Try renaming the sport to football, maybe that will get them interested

There used to be a whole lot more kicking (for the record, the sport is almost nothing as it once was) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_division_football), you novice ball juggler (read: fellatio amateur).

[cheezdue]

The teams I'll be rooting for are Mexico, Spain, Brazil, and Argentina. I got my hands that Spain is going to win this time. But if Mexico looses again to Argentina like the did the last time, I'll be pissed.

[sdavis117]

America, the underdogs, the "they don't care about soccer" nation, were able to pull it together for an amazing....

1-1 tie. God damn you soccer, you ruin everything.

[InnerGoat]

omg omg omg

[Limited]

"Managed to pull it together" what are you rabbiting on about. Americas goal was a calamity goal, keeper howler that should not have happened. We were all over you guys, offside decision near the end was bullshit, Crouch was 2 yards on side.

America does have a good team, 7 of the 11 men on the field play in the worlds best league, which does say alot and means they have good skill.

Englands goal though, superb.

Outrage is occuring in English pubs though, the HD version of the broadcast cut into a advert break by accident during the 3rd minute, England scored in the 4th, and everyone watching HD feed missed it.

Appalling, should be banned from the whole tournament for that piece of bad sportmanship.

[paladin]

Ah, have you played soccer or futbol before. That happens all the time when you jump for a header. Also Australia proved today that the suck even more as a country. German Supremacy.

Not Delightful. At ALL.

4-0. Clearly Germans are indeed the master race...Deuschland! Deuschland! Ja, ja, ja!

[CN3089]

It's Deutschland.

[Warsaw]

I spelled it that way originally, and because it almost was 2:40 in the morning, I thought it looked wrong. All I have to say to you, good sir, is "oops."

New Zealand just drew against Slovakia, what a joke

Yeah, would have thought Slovakia would have won.:nsmug:

Slovakia should have destroyed them, bad showing from them :( Gotta support fellow hockey countries~

[paladin]

Brazil should have been leading 5:0 in the first half of Brazil vs PRK

[Limited]

What an incredible goal by Maicon, pulling a Roberto Carlos, must be a Brazilian thing :D

Tomorrow is the Spanish game, which should be incredible, their warm-up match was fantastic, the fluidity to their passing is just unbelievable.

Torres's hair cut though, wtf?!

[paladin]

I feel bad for PRK, KJI is prolly gonna have them shot. DEFECT NOW

[Limited]

Well Spain game was a shocker, beaten 1 - 0 by Switzerland. First half the swiz were very defensive, the majority of the possession was Spain but they lacked that final ball and the spark of talent. I'm very surprised.

South African goalie has just been sent off for a reckless challenge, Forlan stepped up for Uruguay and scored a cracking penalty. That could be the blow for SA's world cup hopes =\

[Warsaw]

Personally, I like seeing the favourites beaten. It makes the series interesting and blasts away egos.

[NullZero]

Uruguay win 3-0 against RSA

[CN3089]

Welp, looks like South Africa will be the first host to not advance. Sucks for them, but maybe on the bright side the fans will be less enthusiastic with those fucking vuvuzelas.

[Warsaw]

I hear they are discussing banning them. I hope they do.

[CN3089]

Jesus this serbia-germany ref is fucking nuts and also serbia just scored FUCK

Even if that penalty kick goal hadn't counted, the US should have at least gotten another with the way Slovenia was holding two of the US team.

Today sucked. I woke up at 4:30 to watch a joke of a game to see the ref give out bullshit cards. Havent seen the US game, about to watch it on dvr

[CN3089]

Mathchat: Pretty sure it's actually still possible for the United States to win the group, hilariously (and improbably) enough


So don't murder the referee just yet!~

[Limited]

Didn't see the game but haha Germany lost, Klose got sent off AND they missed a penalty, wonderful result for the English.

Well England play in 30 mins, gotta winthis game means slit, we gotta stamp our authority on the tournament. Calmamity James in goal, yet he's a great shot stopper.

USA drew so England could go top with a win.

I'm hoping for at least a 2 goal win, I expect alot from Rooney.

Koman Coulibaly is a motherfucking cocksucking piece of shit. Fuck him I hope he gets investigated and they find corruption....or he ends up dead in his hotel room.

Unless Germany takes second in their group and you get owned by them in the next round :v:

it's gonna own

[Limited]

My god, what the hell is up with the English team? What an appalling display, no one played well it was awful. Seriously need to step it up in the last game. You wouldnt believe the players earn $250k a week.

What a shamballs.

E: Just saw the USA disallowed goal, awful decision, was 100% a goal. No offside, ref was miles away from the play, he had a clear view, blew the whistle before ball was kicked in the net yet for no reason.

Sorry guys, you were robbed the victory.

That said, amazing first goal by Solvenia.

E2: Haha FIFA are in the shits, a fan managed to get into the England dressing room after fulltime whistle, managed to get past all the security. Prince Harry and Prince William went to the dressing rooms after match too, luckily they had left just before the breach.

Also love the fact Rooney was having a go at the fans for booing..."Nice to see your own fans booing you, that's what loyal support is".

[ODX]

Fucking ARs in the US game were horribly out of position at times.

Still doesn't give excuse for the ref though >_>

[Dwood]

Is there nothing that they can do to challenge the refs decision(s)?

[ODX]

Is there nothing that they can do to challenge the refs decision(s)?This isn't American Football, Soccer is a non-stop sport until a call is made. And once that call is made and decided, it will be carried out since there's no possible way to just 'continue on' with play once it's stopped as in Football (where play stops every 7 or so seconds :ugh:)

You can, however, bitch and yell if you want to red card yourself out of the game.

Brazil vs Ivory Coast right now. My reception went out as Brazil scored. Damn.

[Limited]

New Zealand did a great job with shutting out the current world champions Italy, didnt see the game but must have been good. I assume De Rossi dived to get the penalty.

Fabiano scored a cracker for Brazil :D. French team is falling apart, not even training and the played awful in the match.

E, Fabiano scored another FANTASTIC goal, what superb touch.

E2, WTF?! That is unbelievable shocking refereeing, Kaka did nothing wrong, the other guy ran into him and acted like Kaka assaulted him, I hope FIFA step in and sort this absolute travesty.

[NullZero]

E2, WTF?! That is unbelievable shocking refereeing, Kaka did nothing wrong, the other guy ran into him and acted like Kaka assaulted him, I hope FIFA step in and sort this absolute travesty.

This.

BBC: "I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Kader Keita collides with Kaka off the ball and goes down as if the Brazilian has assaulted him. It's nothing but a coming together, but referee Stephane Lannoy - who can't have seen the incident - gives Kaka a second yellow card and the Real Madrid man is off."

[Timo]

Drew against Italy as well? What the christ?

[CN3089]

Well this game was close for a while and then Portugal decided to stop screwing around I guess



Ivory Coast is pretty much fucked lol

[CN3089]

"Whoa, that was a low scoring football match. Portugal only got one touchdown? I thought they were supposed to be really good!"

[Alwin Roth]

Watching Chile vs Switzerland.


Switzerland seems to be getting a lot of fouls that shouldn't of been given off.

A chile guy trips when the Swiss guy didn't even touch him and he gets a yellow.

WTF?

and I declare BS on that score Chile made, people were off side -_-

[CN3089]

lmbo somebody finally got carded for a bullshit dive

[Alwin Roth]

When Chile playing got yellow card for faking a fall, He should of gotten a red instead, that way all players would stop faking a fall.

Switzerland had a good change around 89 Minutes into the match, but the guy missed it :\

oh well, they're not out yet...

[CN3089]

I don't think you can punish diving with a red


Or at least yellow is the standard

[Limited]

It was a red card, he did it twice, it was unnecessary roughness that you just cannot do in that position.

Chile goal the player was onside, yes it was close but you should always give the advantage to the attacking team.

Portugal, well fantastic display of football, although I completely despise the team, the players are tremendous and at the game it was just a practice match with shooting on sight :D

Ronaldo's goal was funny though :D

I cannot wait for Brazil Portugal, should be the game of the group stages.

[CN3089]

Yeah the Swiss player elbowed the Chilean in the face you really can't do that especially after you've already held the jersey of another one in the same play :downs:



There was a Chilean offside during the scoring play but he wasn't involved so the goal was allowed.

[Limited]

Yeah he wasnt involved in the build up of the goal, so he just floated back onside and rejoined the game.

Spain up next, hoping for a good performance from the, I'd like to see Fabregas start and of course Torres with his blistering pace. It should be a cracker, Spain have the team to completely annihilate Honduras, lets hope we see some fantastic passing from Spain :D

[cheezdue]

Go Mexico!:woot:

[CN3089]

hahaha france in complete meltdown mode, south africa still have a (small) chance

[Limited]

Didn't see he first half, but yeah looks like France have completely lost the plot.

[CN3089]

wrap it up south africailures

[Limited]

Well France and South Africa are out, watching Argentina and Greece, should be a fast paced game but Argentina should win it comfortably.

Hoping Messi starts playing well and getting stick in, he had an amazing season clearly the best in the world but he needs to be careful to not get too frustrated.

[paladin]

<3 espn3.com mosaic mode

[Limited]

OH SNAP you could cut the tension with a knife. Kickoff is only 20 minutes away from crucial matches for USA and England. Personally I hope we both win, USA desires to go through.

Everything here will be grinding to a halt to watch the match, cinemas are showing it live on the big screen, schools are closing early, businesses are bringing tvs in or letting people go home early.

Englands starting line up looks great, love the fan Defoe is starting, he'll help inject alot of pace up front and help Rooney out, was hoping Joe Cole could play on the wing but hes on the bench, perhaps 60 minutes and he'll jump in the mix.

God the wait is killing me, hope to see a massive goal rush by England, I want at least 3, then again I'd settle for a 1 - 0 win if need be.

CMON ENGLAND AND AMERICA!

America cheated out of another goal lmao

[jcap]

ok seriously is there a competition for the worst ref in the world or....????????

The US "goal" was ruled offside, but you can very clearly see in the video that he wasn't.

[Limited]

YES 1 - 0!!!

America screwed out of another goal, was had for the lino but he should have got it right.

Quality first shot by Algeria though, unlucky to hit bar but America need to keep pressing and they should score.

E: We just had one disallowed.

[CN3089]

b-but.. video review would ruin the integrity of the sport!!

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c251/CN3089/Emoticons/ququzela.gif


e: lmao america has forgotten how to shoot


e: also altidore is complete shit

[CN3089]

The United States literally cannot buy a goal. I'm sure even if they successfully bribed the entire Algerian team hurricane force winds would spontaneously erupt and prevent the ball from entering the Algerian goal.



And even if it did the refs would say it was offside

[CN3089]

oh noice job lando, england usa advance~

[jcap]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Third time's a charm.......right????

[jcap]

There's literally no reason in hell that they can't add video review challenges to this sport.

The game would generally remain unchanged. The only difference would be that each team would be allowed TWO challenges per game. If you want to dispute a call (goal, penalty, etc.), you can use one of those challenges. The call would then be reviewed by a panel and decided whether it will stand or not. If the challenge was good, then you get one challenge back and the correction.

This would add minimal delay to the game, since you would have a limited number of challenges you could use, so you would want to use them only when you strongly believe you are right. You would get rewarded for being right when the original call was wrong.

Plus it would preserve whatever shred of integrity is left in this sport.

[CN3089]

no just do it like hockey, reviews of disputed goals only



gridiron-style reviewing wouldn't really work, the game isn't paced like that



e: also landon donovan broke twitter woot

e2:

I unironically hope England goes through and then gets knocked out on penalties against Germany.

heh

[Limited]

Jcap, it is a fast paced sport, hence why referees sometimes "play-on" when theres a foul, we do not like the flow of the game to be stopped. That is why video reviewing isnt in the sport.

Europa league, brought in 2 extra linesmen to stand next to the goal, they look if the ball crosses the line, and help aid the offside calls. The biggest problem in the game isnt offside calls, its whether the ball has crossed the line.

FIFA had the chance to incorporate goal line technology and the extra lino yet they declined, FIFA is just a bunch of suits. They also hate the English.

Cmon GHANA!

[jcap]

And that's why I said it should be limited to two per team per game. If you abuse your challenges, you lose your . You can't even say that every trivial "bad" call will be challenged, because it's a very risky move. If you think you see something, you really can't be totally confident of it until the replay is shown. If the replay goes and it turns out you were wrong and the ref was originally correct, you just blew a call on something trivial.

So that's the motivation to use it for only life and death calls. For instance, if a player gets a red card, or if they get a yellow card due to a handball off the face, or if a goal is disallowed for bullshit reasons.

Also seriously fuck FIFA.

[Limited]

So who is the person that decides to challenge? Striker? Captin? Manager? I do agree o wish decisions could be revoked, such as bullshit red cards that later can been seen by replays as fair challenges, but they can't take them away because the ref did see it, just saw it wrong.

Germany should just have had a player sent off, defender saved the ball off the line with his hand, should have been penalty and sending off. Cheated. Still cmon Ghana.

[Yoko]

Australians go from 0-0 to 2-0 lead in 3 minutes and I had high hopes for Serbia :smith:

[jcap]

So who is the person that decides to challenge? Striker? Captin? Manager?
Higher positions of power, like the Captain (who would probably be able to make the best calls since he's on the field) and the Coach.

[paladin]

This isnt football, futbol doesnt need pussy challenges.

[jcap]

You're right, this isn't football. Refs suck cocks and everyone needs to bend over and get fucked up the ass by them "just because"

[CN3089]

There have been good refs in this world cup just none in games with america

You're right, this isn't football. Refs suck cocks and everyone needs to bend over and get fucked up the ass by them "just because"

shitty ref is part of the game. adapt. look at Germany vs Serbia. They had a card-happy ref. Did they tone their challenges down? No. Thats why there were 9 yellows and 1 red. The ref is part of the game. If they make a bad call you can either throw a fit or do something about it.

[CN3089]

[Limited]

Good freekick although goalie was at fault in first one he should have stayed in his area. Good strike though very ronaldo-style. Endos was good curl.

[Bodzilla]

considering it's a game that often ends with scores like 1-0, and the amount of bullshit diving that happens giving penalty shots at the goal... i think you'd atleast like to get the decision right.

vote vid refs

[CrAsHOvErRide]

Go Brazil! Germany..I could kill the game commentator for being such an ass...pure luck, especially Lahm's hand foul to prevent the goal.

[Timo]

Sucks NZ didn't score against Paraguay, surprising how far a team with amateurs (one guy is a banker irl) in got though.

[paladin]

News flash, there is a 4th official, hence the center's head set.

[Limited]

4th official has no involvement in decision making, he is there to talk to the managers explain decisions and hear feedback, he has the power to advice the manager to send players on the bench and the manager off.

Brazil Portugal game is today, still undecided who I want to win, portugal are masters at diving, brazil are masters at long shots.


XVoduuRbxQE

-t5MF7NRQh4

[paladin]

Yes, but the center official can conference with the 4th on difficult calls, just like the line officials. Even this, challenging the center official's call is completely necessary.

[Limited]

I knew the goal was important to Americans, heres a few reactions.
jbn3rOPmR9w

What a feeling eh? I remember going mad like that, for 2 teams I dont really support, Barca vs Chelsea (my rivals) in Champions League semis, when Ineista scored a cracker in last minute to put them to final my god my housemate and I went wild. It was 1 - 0 chelsea, but the goal meant it was 1 -1 but barca went through on away goal.

GERMANY WOOP WOOP WOOP, outplayed, humiliated and shat on England! If england players weren't so fuckign concerned about being in media spotlight and shaggin each others wives. They might of actually been good enough to win. Hopefully they'l be inspired by the thrashing they just got and dedicate their time to being fuckin good at what they're paid rediculous amounts of money to do. Fuck... watching a german player with ball possession trick his way out of being tackled by 3 England players was awe inspiring to watch, but to then maintain ball possession and run like a fuckin stallion against the english defense with 100% ball control cross the ball and score was mind blowing. ENGLAND be ashamed.

[paladin]

wow, germany made england's defense look like fools

[CN3089]

good job germany and argentina scoring enough to make the controversies more or less irrelevant :)

[cheezdue]

Goodbye Mexico :(, but that was a fucking offside!!! Damn today's games were crappy thanks to the ref's.

[Maniac]

Give England a sporting chance.

[Limited]

DRAMA!! Uragury hand balled the ball off the line, blatant, red card Ghana penalty last kick of game in extra time, he hits cross bar, justice though they should never have had freekick.


So now it's penalties!!!

Cmon Ghana, their goalie has had a great tournament.

[CN3089]

[cheezdue]

Germany wins! 8D

[Limited]

Spain going to demolish Paraguay, Villa could grab a couple.

[Limited]

DRAMA!!! Paraguay had penalty, Casillas saved it within a minute Spain had a penalty which was scored but had to be taken by encrotchment second was saved but goalie tripped fabregas on the rebound stonewall penalty but ref didn't give it.

[CN3089]

What a stunning strike by Van Brokenhurst, simply fantastic unstoppable. What a reply by Forlan great movement off the ball to open up the space, he's had a great season at Atheletico scoring some beauties.

Glad to Finally see sone quality goals occurring in this tournament.

Cmon Holland

[CN3089]

OPEN THE BLOOD GATES


NED-DEU tia

[Limited]

Pfft, Spain :D

I will be majorly pissed if Germany win the cup, considering they had a huge unfair advantage over every other team.

[CN3089]

Yeah, how dare the Germans be good at soccer, it's unfair

[Limited]

They had use of the new ball since February, you know the thing every freaking team has had problems with understanding.

[CN3089]

oh so is that the excuse england and argentina are using now that they got completely stomped by a superior team looool

[Limited]

Yup.

[neuro]

netherands kicking yer asses!

[cheezdue]

I was going for Uruguay. :saddowns: But I'm rotting all the way for Spain!:woop:

[SnaFuBAR]

Fuck yes Holland. Let's do this!

[paladin]

Germany is going to dominate today

[Limited]

GAME ON!!!!

Cmon Spain!!! They have the ability, they just need to get into a flow and play like they do in their league!

[CN3089]

if you cheer for spain you are what's wrong with soccer

[paladin]

if you cheer for spain you are what's wrong with soccer

I actually agree with you

[CN3089]

hurf durf let's pass the ball around for fucking 80 minutes and try to bore the other team to death and then have david villa score a stupidly lucky goal




david villa is cool, though

[CN3089]

I'm not used to seeing a soccer game without a ton of fouls and dives what is going on



oh, torres isn't playing

[Limited]

You guys would love the English league, but hate Spanish league. Spanish is slow build up lots of passing. It's wonderful to watch when they pay off it's real fluid football. They make it hard for the opposition problem is they try to make the perfect goal, when sometimes the easier option is the best.

I have things riding on Spain. Plus I'm English the Germans are our arch enemy

[Limited]

Puyol you beauty!!!!!!! YESS!!! my throat hurts like he'll for shouting like mad. Get in!!

[CN3089]

fuck, gomez in, we lose

[CN3089]

nice pass, gomez, I'm sure Casillas appreciated that




e: hup holland hup :smith:

[Limited]

We have a new World Cup champion! Congrats to Holland/Spain both have never won it. My two choices.

[Dwood]

I root for Nederlands this round. :)

[Cojafoji]

Got a bet with a friend of mine that spain will win, so uh, go spain.

[paladin]

I have $50 on Nederland. Im guessing a tight math of 2:1, Nederland. Possibly a winning goal in the 80th + minute.

[Limited]

Tonights match, Uruguay all the way.

[cheezdue]

Wow Uruguay and Germany are playing good. @_@

[Limited]

What a goal, great movement on the wing and picked out cross volleyed by Forlan, quality finish.

Man of tournament in my opinion.

[CN3089]

deutschland uber alles* :realsmug:


*except spain lol

[Limited]

Good game, really bad luck to Forlan hitting crossbar with last kick of the ball, maybe his last world cup?

[paladin]

Good game.

[cheezdue]

Go Spain win that holy trophy!:woop:

[Limited]

I'm cheering both teams, whoever scores and wins I'll cheer, love both teams.

[CN3089]

A game involving Spain is 0-0 at the first half? I'm shocked



perhaps they will win it 1-0?? That would be crazy unexpected

[CN3089]

lmao spain divin all over the place good job spain


can we just declare deu-uru the real final




iniesta flops to the ground, another dutch player carded, spain-netherlands true soccer experienzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[CN3089]

hurf durf let's pass the ball around for fucking 110 minutes and try to bore the other team to death and then have andres iniesta score a stupidly lucky goal


noice.



the worst world cup final of all time. worse than '66. two bad teams. bad goal. bad ref. bad sport.

[paladin]

Good Job Spain

[Martini-562]

I is not amused...

What the hell was that crap with that referee? I mean seriously, no penalty for NL, no red for the guy that clung on to Robben, not even a bloody corner (the decision which directly lead to Spain scoring)?

[CN3089]

not to mention iniesta was offside the first time the ball was played to him on the scoring play lmao

[Limited]

not to mention iniesta was offside the first time the ball was played to him on the scoring play lmao
He was inactive, it was not offside.

Ref did a fantastic job, he was the best ref of the whole tournament. To me the challenge the dutch guy made in first half (was on edge of penalty box) should have been a straight red. Holland penalty? Firstly it was outside the area.

Yes it was a corner, no idea why he gave it a goal kick.

First half was poor, second half wasnt too bad, would have loved to see more goals but the best football was played in extra time. Holland just couldnt get a grip on the game, Kuyt, Van Persie, Sneijder played awful.

Casillas was a rock at the back, he had a fantastic tournament, he should get Golden Glove.
Fantastic goal by Iniesta though :D, the one I posted a video of was similar :D

[paladin]

He was English, he couldn't have been a good ref

[NullZero]

racist

[SnaFuBAR]

that ref was fucking horrible, play soccer sometime. he practically awarded spain the game. worst fucking final ever.

[Limited]

You can hardly feel cheated, Von Bommel and De Jong should have both been sent off in the first half. Robben should have had two yellow cards before the goal was scored, even Cryuff said so.

It was a rather scrappy game, people diving over all the time, both teams are as bad as each other.

[SnaFuBAR]

rated disagree. spaniards (and any spanish speaking team for that matter) has a horrible diving habit and do everything possible to cheat when threatened with a loss. that grapple in the box should have been carded and a penalty kick awarded, which may (or may not) have ended up with a 1-0 score putting holland up, and overtime wouldn't have even happened.

the game was officiated horribly.

[Bodzilla]

Diving in soccer due to a broken rule and review system?


HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SITTING ON THIS INFORMATION???

[Limited]

Your right Snaf, Argentinians, Spanish and the Portuguese do it. I feel if Robben had fallen over in the box, it would have been given, thing is he was moral and stood his ground to try and get in and shoot.

Ronaldo (Portuguese one) got Rooney sent off on purpose in the Euros, bastard winked to the camera after too.
