World Cup 2010

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Don't think it was 'officially' announced. Even the FA aren't that stupid.

Gabby Logan said an official spokesperson said it.

But I should never trust a transvestite.

[Ogen]

Fifa have said no appealing yellow cards yeah so hes out for the next game?

[BillyBonez]

Fifa have said no appealing yellow cards yeah so hes out for the next game?

Yeah he is out.

[Londoner]

Yeah he is out.

I bet you were thinking 'ooohhh italy gonna batter new zealand 5-0, you know im right!!!' earlier today werent ya?

[BillyBonez]

I bet you were thinking 'ooohhh italy gonna batter new zealand 5-0, you know im right!!!' earlier today werent ya?

No I didnt Italy blows goat penis this year

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Gabby Logan said an official spokesperson said it.

But I should never trust a transvestite.

Nah she said a 'senior source' told her that. Which, and I know this is semantics, means its not really official, and they have deniability.

Or she could just be making it up.

[The Mackem]

Would just make them look like bigger idiots for extending the contract before the World Cup.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

And now 'apparently' Terry hasn't been speaking for everyone and has caused a rift :|

[The Mackem]

Yeah well he is the captain...

[Corporate CockSnogger]

This could easily turn into a thrashing from Portugal now.

Unless Korea score 5 :shifty:

[The Mackem]

damn had this down as 2-0

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Wow wonder what score this is going to finish. They're attacking well at pace now. Fun 2nd half

[Loose Cannon]

Beatdown city rght now

[Loose Cannon]

5-0.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Next weeks Brazil v Portugal looks so much more exciting after this game. 7-0.

[OssMan]

Best Korea :wavesad:

[CSL]

Don't agree with that Behrami red card at all.

[MoFo]

Match of the WC thus far.

[Londoner]

Match of the WC thus far.

Craziest match maybe, but definitely not match of the WC.

[BCWWF]

Why doesn't Paul Scholes get any stick for not playing for England? Wayne Rooney clearly isn't the same player for England as he is for Manchester United, and Scholes is clearly still a world-class midfielder for United. Isn't there a possibility that playing Scholes instead of Frank Lampard might help Rooney be the beast for England that he is for United?

[Emperor Smeat]

He retired in 2004. According to Wikipedia he didn't have that long of a career with England at just 7 years (1997-2004). He also had the tendency to pick up too many cards during competitions similar to Rooney.

England's problem is they want to make Rooney their main striker but their play style or formation doesn't allow that to be possible constantly with the type of players they have on the field.

[BCWWF]

I know he retired, and that's my point. He is obviously still as capable as ever to play for England, and would seemingly be the best fit to play with Rooney.

[The Mackem]

I have more respect for Scholes turning down the offer than Carragher for accepting it.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Scholes retired after Euro 2004 when we had this "OH MY GOD, THERE ARE NO LEFT FOOTED ENGLISH PLAYERS" crisis (like we still have now) coupled with the "LAMPARD AND GERRARD ARE THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD AND MUST NEVER BE DROPPED" (like we still have now) which resulted in Scholes (right footed and a better central midfielder than Gerrard or Lampard) being played on the left wing for Euro 2004. From what I remember he was shit and got fed up and retired.</font>

[Corporate CockSnogger]

If only Trevor Sinclair was still in the squad.

[The Mackem]

Get in South Africa

[The Mackem]

Oh dear France

[The Mackem]

oh dear, oh dear

[The Mackem]

Looks like things are going to turn interesting if South Africa score a few more goals

[BCWWF]

So what Rob Ban Fan is saying is basically that Scholes could in fact be the missing link for England but that he has chosen not to play because of a bad experience with a manager who has been twice replaced now? I can understand that playing internationally is a huge time commitment, but it's a little surprising that he doesn't get any flack for not playing.

I would think that England would try to build itself as much like Manchester United as possible, rather than whatever they have going on now.

[Team Sheep]

Put a few bets on at half time. Malouda to score next came in. Now need a 2-2 final to win like £200. Come on :(

<font color="#ff6600">I don't think that at the time or since he has blamed the reason I gave for retiring but I am fairly sure that was the reason. I think his official reason was that he wanted to spend more time with his family and concentrate on Manchester United. He has been asked back by McClaren and Capello but he wont come back, not to mention he's nearly 36 now.</font>

Damn French.

Exactly, he's basically a part-timer now.

[Ogen]

Good ol French twats.

[Nicky Fives]

What the hell is wrong with Ribery's face? did he get smacked in the face with a rake or something?

[Sixx]

When he was two years old, he and his family were involved in a car accident in his hometown, colliding with a truck.[4] Ribéry suffered serious facial injuries that resulted in over one hundred stitches and left two long scars down the right side of his face.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franck_Rib%C3%A9ry

Also, I'm so glad France is out.

[Ogen]

Greeks are a fucking disgrace here..out as it stand with 20 minutes to go and still not even trying to attack Argentina.

[CSL]

Works for them, it's how they won Euro 2004. It's no fun to watch but I don't know why the commentators are moaning, it's nothing new.

[Emperor Smeat]

It worked in Euro 04 because none of the bigger teams thought of using that formation as a way to win since its more of a traditional formation done in league cups by smaller teams to hope for an upset or in some league a "replay".

Greece's problem was by the time of 2006 qualifiers, most of the tougher teams figured out how to break down their defensive formation while Greece never bothered to switch and caused their matches to be "boring".

[CSL]

It worked at Euro 2004 because they got lucky in the knockout stages They should have lost to France, the Czechs and Portugal.

[Emperor Smeat]

Nigeria-South Korea was a really good match.

Argentina vs Mexico playoff match set for 2nd World Cup in a row (2-1 OT).

[Ogen]

Works for them, it's how they won Euro 2004. It's no fun to watch but I don't know why the commentators are moaning, it's nothing new.

Yes the objective in those games was to avoid defeat, tonight with 20 minutes to go a goal would have put them into the next round and they still just resolutely defended like pricks before Argentina broke them down.

[ct2k]

Regarding the whole John Terry thing, he fucked himself over the minute he started talking about himself as being a born leader and all that self aggrandising shite. As a columnist in the Times said today, he essentially did a Scargill. Might well've spoken for a fair few of the players beforehand, but as soon as he made it about him, he showed his true colours and lost said support in an instant.

Their objective in every game seems to be avoid defeat, no matter what the situation is. Seems to be all Rehagel is willing to attempt with them. They didn't really attack at Euro 2004, just seemed to rely mainly on set pieces.

[CSL]

Occasionally.

[Team Sheep]

It worked at Euro 2004 because they got lucky in the knockout stages They should have lost to France, the Czechs and Portugal.

Come on, winning 3 knock out games isn't luck. They had a game plan and executed it perfectly. Unfortunately for them, it just isn't sustainable and haven't bothered to try much else.

[CSL]

They've been playing the same way for like 9 years and that's the only thing resembling success that they've had (albeit a big success) Of course they executed their plan well. But in order for them to win games (and especially a tournament) with that plan, they need luck. The amount of wasted chances from other teams that year was shocking. They obviously didn't win strictly by luck, you have to give them credit for being so disciplined, but without it, they wouldn't have gone past the quarter finals.

[Team Sheep]

Beating red hot Portugal twice at their own tournament shows they were for real that year in my book.

[Emperor Smeat]

Since Domenech is now out of a job coaching France, I guess he can go back being a career villain. :shifty:

http://www.bondmovies.com/villains/carver.jpg

Didn't even realize how similar him and Carver (Tomorrow Never Dies) look until watching the film yesterday.

[CSL]

Beating red hot Portugal twice at their own tournament shows they were for real that year in my book.

Red hot? They were shit in the opening game of the tournament (against Greece), had things go their way against England (Rooney injury, disallowed goal, pens) and didn't play too well in the final (but still should have scored)

I honestly can't believe he was still the manager, he should have gone after the Euros (and nearly did). The french FA deserved everything that happened to them at the World Cup after leaving him in charge (wasn't specifically his fault but he's proven that he wasn't really capable of running that team)

[Team Sheep]

Red hot? They were shit in the opening game of the tournament (against Greece), had things go their way against England (Rooney injury, disallowed goal, pens) and didn't play too well in the final (but still should have scored)

Well yes. They were the host nation, one of the favourites to win it going in, and got to the final. Don't see your argument.

[CSL]

'Red hot' implies they were playing something akin to Holland in 1974 (or even the Czechs in that tournament) Which they were not. They were decent. No better than the other 5-6 favourites for the tournament.

Besides, this was 6 years ago.

[Team Sheep]

Hot enough to make it all the way to the final ahead of all the other 'favourites', where they lost to Greece, for the second time. And that's luck?

Hey you brought it up :roll:

[CSL]

I didn't say Portugal didn't play well, my problem was with 'red hot'. Which I figured you'd have worked out from my first sentence. And yes, for Greece, it was a lot of luck. An anomoly. Only thing that's come close was Denmark in 1992 and then there were only 8 teams, they had a couple of legit quality players, a decent supporting cast and Peter Schmeichel. If they replayed Euro 2004, I believe 99 times out of 100 Greece don't win it.

And I bought it up to point out the correlation between how they play now and how they played when they had their only real success (aka the same). Not go back and forth about the specifics of the tournament.

[CSL]

And I'd once again like to point out my love for the Argies away shirt. It's beautiful.

[Team Sheep]

Whatever, I don't care about that. I just had a problem with you calling a tournament winner 'lucky'. One game maybe. Hell, you could even possibly stretch to two. But sorry, nobody wins a tournament on luck. That's all I was saying.

[CSL]

Except for Greece in 2004.

[Mooияakeя™]

lol @ French boss not shaky hands with Parreira

[BCWWF]

I had a good feeling about South Korea coming into the World Cup, but I was also in the camp that was overly optimistic about the African contingent and thought South Korea would finish third behind Nigeria. While it's disappointing to see Africa pretty much fall flat here — Ghana is the only team that could have a chance to do anything, but even getting to the quarters at this point is a long shot — it is still cool to see teams like Korea and Uruguay showing well. I'm guessing Africa will make a big improvement in 2014 though.

[CSL]

Yeah, I'd have thought at least one of the african teams will be 'competing' in the next 6-10 years.

[CSL]

England are gonna be wearing all-red for the game. Different.

He is the man.

[yianni]

I thought Greece played very well and were unlucky not to hold on for the draw - if only Samaras' shot had gone in...regardless a draw wouldn't have been enough anyway and like I said earlier the South Korea 2-0 loss in the first game was what really fucked us. What I hope now is that due to some of the older farts retiring Otto (or whoever replaces him) starts playing the younger players who are more attack minded and as a result build a more attacking team in time for Euro 2012 qualifiers. Say what you want about Greece but Otto could only make tactics that played to the team's strengths, which was largely defensive minded. Of course, alot of luck needed to go our way but the history books will say Greece 2004 European champions. A lot of luck also needed to go our way this morning (or last night for most of you guys) and it didn't, that's football. Seriously though, I just wanted a goal and/or a point from this World Cup for Greece, after the debacle of USA '94 and as a result I'm satisfied. Hopefully next time we can qualify with a more attacking side and try and get out of the group stages.

[yianni]

Also, LOL at these guys. How freaky that they did this the night before the Portugal North Korea game and got the score right - except in reverse of course :eek: :rofl: :rofl:

Yeah, fucking bullshit offsides call. :nono:

[Ogen]

Score America ffs get these lot going against england

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yeah, we'd've been up 1-0 at halftime if the stupid-ass assistant to the ref had opened his eyes and told the ref that the goal should count because nobody was offside. Oh, well them's the breaks. Here's to a better 2nd half for USA.

[Loose Cannon]

no, not the offsides call. I believe it was Altidore that had an open shot and lifted it 50 ft over the goal

[Loose Cannon]

omg, again with a chance. COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[The Gold Standard]

US has missed 4-5 open nets. I can't believe it.

[Sixx]

For quite some time have I been trying to figure out who BigDaddyCool reminds me of.

And now I know. Wayne fuckin' Rooney.

[Loose Cannon]

we got nothing but ourselves to blame if we miss out on the next round.

[The Gold Standard]

We should be up at least 2-0 right now

another miss

Wow. I never thought I would be so into a Soccer Game. that was crazy.

[Loose Cannon]

congrats to England btw. Germany will be tough

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Alright now let's go Germany. Whoop some ass please.

[Mooияakeя™]

Football. The best game ever. Nothing brings so much emotion. Highs and lows. We
moan cos we care, we scream because we love. Awesome, I'm quite happy the yanks have come through too. Call me sentimental, but there's a lot of English decendandts there. English speaking nations unite.

Footy FTW.

[Impeccable]

Not a great game, but we're through, and that's all that matters. Happy for the US to go through aswell.

Come on the Aussies tonight now!!!

[RP]

OH MY FUCKING GOD RIGHT NOW

I broke a fucking table . My dog is hiding under a bed and wont come out. I may have ejaculated on myself. HOLY SHIT

[The Gold Standard]

I dropped my computer in celebration

[Impeccable]

Sounds like the US game was exciting! Great feeling to nick a game right at the death!

[RP]

Landon Donavon is my fucking hero. And Howard launching that ball and starting that break. My heart is fucking racing right now.

[The Gold Standard]

Good thing I bought a Donovan Jersey last night

[Sixx]

I'm glad USA advanced.

I'm disappointed England did, though. I abslutely hate their national team.

[RP]

Bring forth the Germans!

[Sixx]

Also, I wouldn't be so sure about England facing Germany next. I'm betting Germany-Ghana will end in a draw.

[CSL]

I'd have thought you'd gets the Serbs providing Germany play well. And anything could happen in that game.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Sounds like the US game was exciting! Great feeling to nick a game right at the death!

Yeah that plus all the added stress of two wrongfully disallowed goals, England controlling their game and forcing the US to win, about 45 missed chances in front of goal, and the Algerians playing like cowards. The weight on the shoulders was tremendous and then in one fell swoop, it was all gone. Amazing feeling. Gonna be euphoric all week.

[Impeccable]

Just seen the US goal. Howard, great distribution!

Landon Donovan's run was immense, following the ball the whole time and just being there for the rebound!

[MoFo]

Well done on snatching the group Yankee fucks.

I will lol if Germany finish second and we play Ghana or Serbia though

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I think our presenter over here said it best after the US game highlights.

"If the USA don't fall in love with this game after that, they never will"

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Got to admit I might have cheered the US goal a little more than the England one :o

Good job comrades

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Jozy Altidore is the last guy I'd want jumping on me in a pile-on btw

[Londoner]

Didn't take much notice of USA, was so fucking tense all game, especially as its a damn hot day today, added too it all, and beer to!

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Didn't watch the game at all, but they announced it as the players were shaking hands with Slovenia. I cheered.

[Londoner]

I love how the games are layed out. Can't wait for the evening games now!

[Nervous Ferret]

The YANK CUNTS DID IT OIOIIOIOIOI

[Chavo Classic]

Finishing second place might be a blessing - I couldn't handle the tension of playing Germany in a World Cup again.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Finishing second place might be a blessing - I couldn't handle the tension of playing Germany in a World Cup again.

If Germany win tonight, that's what we WILL be doing.

Unless you're from the future and you already know they're not going to win? Please tell me you are...

[#BROKEN Hasney]

A German just did a Harry Kewell. Damn handball.

[Emperor Smeat]

Germany scored and if it holds up it would be Germany-England & USA-Ghana.

[Nervous Ferret]

OI OI OI THOSE AUSSIE CUNTS MIGHT DO IT M8

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Fucking ripper by Australia there. Cmon Ozzies two more goals.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If Australia don't go through, I really hope they start a fight and beat the shit out of these Serbian pricks.

[Ogen]

Germany will batter England next round.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

If they show up. If they're below par (I know, very unlikely) and England step it up it could end up being fairly even.

Big ifs though.

[XL]

Just hoping England up their game when we play Germany. Would think that they would given that it is Germany after all.

Well done to the US. Glad to see your boys through. Shame the Aussies couldn't join us there, they gave it a really good go.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

I found a vid of RP's reaction to the goal

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90yz9tpZhic

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If the US beats Ghana, they get the winner of Uruguay/South Korea. If England beats Germany, they get the winner of Argentina/Mexico.

So pretty huge that the US was able to win the group. England's got a wicked road ahead. Good luck, lads!

[BCWWF]

What a game. I'm just relieved that the next game is on a Saturday now. Had to avoid all human contact today until I could watch the replay.

Best England have played so far, shame they didn't perform earlier as it might have made for an 'easier' route but no easy games and all that at this stage. Congrats to USA for topping the group. It's going to be interesting to come up against a team that is going to be attacking us a lot more than the teams in our group games. I'd stick with the same defence, definitely.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

OMG come on Slovakia don't fuck this up.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ack, 2-1.

Hoping NZ can sneak a goal too.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Italy are suddenly playing like they're the best team in the tournament. Really hoping it's too little too late.

3-1!!

Awesome match.

Hey let's give the champs 40 minutes of extra time. That's fair.

To be fair, Slovakia were wasting time whenever they had the chance, that last goal kick took about a minute.

[BigDaddyCool]

When America when the World Cup this year, will it force the rest of the world to call it the game soccer?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The Japanese are looking dangerous with free kicks.

2-0

[McDoogle]

Hey laugh it up, but you and I both know 9 out of 10 times Italy will crush you. We had a bad tournament no excuses so enjoy the gloating.

[Cool King]

The Japanese are looking dangerous with free kicks.

2-0

Those free kicks were beautiful.

[McDoogle]

Also everyone who knows anything about football knew this was going to be a horrid tournament for Italy.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Also everyone who knows anything about football knew this was going to be a horrid tournament for Italy.

Yeah, but it's still fun to relish in. Plus, no-one really expected "lower than New Zealand" horrid.

At least we can look forward to the Italy-France World Cup 2010 meeting.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

In the airport.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Italy.

The 2 European power teams that had big issues with age or quality end up crashing badly in the group stage (France, Italy).

[XL]

New Zealand :y:
Japan :y: :y:
Italy :nono:

[Crimson]

What a finish to the Italy game though. They were slow but they didn't go easy.

[XL]

At least Lippi showed a bit of humility on their way out. Took defeat on the chin, took responsibilty.

Domenech, I hope you were watching.

[Sixx]

When America when the World Cup this year, will it force the rest of the world to call it the game soccer?

When they when, then yes.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Just heard today that Tim Howard has Tourette syndrome, but he doesn't take meds for it because he doesn't want to slow his reaction time. Crazy.

[CSL]

Yeah, was the #1 reason I was happy when he signed for United since nobody had ever heard of him. If you watch when he's playing, he does this aggressive kind of squint quite often which is because of his tourettes apparently.

[Rev. Hallowell]

When America when the World Cup this year, will it force the rest of the world to call it the game soccer?

Don't hold your breath. Do you honestly think any soccer official is gonna let the US Win? Watch for called off goals, phantom penalty kicks, and bogus yellow and red cards in the next round.

[Crimson]

Yea im surprised they didnt blow the end game whistle just before Donovan got to that ball in the end

[CSL]

bahahahahaha, yeah refs everywhere are conspiring to stop the USA from winning the World Cup.

[Ogen]

Fifa would love a USA world cup win. Would be the greatest thing in years for them.

I want one, just to annoy the shit out of my co-workers and my brother.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Really looking forward to today's matches. Possibly the best of the group stage. Brazil/Portugal should be great even though they're both going through. Excited about Chile/Spain too, especially since Spain has a very real chance of being eliminated since the Swiss are playing Honduras.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Brazil beat Portugal 6-2 in a friendly not so long ago. So there's a minor, minor chance Ivory Coast may still make it if they demolish North Korea. Can't see it though.

[The Mackem]

I reckon 3-2 Brazil, I can see a close high scoring game.

[RP]

I found a vid of RP's reaction to the goal

(-) the American swag ( + ) 35-40 pounds. Fat Americans unite HOODY HOO!


btw. I'm in love with this game all of a sudden. I checked to see if there was a pro soccer team in Indy. I'm pretty much set to follow Landon Donavon wherever he plays. The only thing i hate is the fucking offsides bullshit. Dont get that at all.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

You don't get offside? It's to stop players "goal hanging" and just waiting around by the goal for someone to hoof the ball up to them from anywhere on the pitch.

[Nicky Fives]

I'd love to see either Uruguay, Japan of The Netherlands win.... everyone else I'm indifferent....

I get the offsides, but I still think it would be more exciting without it.....

[Corporate CockSnogger]

The offside rule is essential. Have you ever played a game in school or anything and there's just one guy who stands by the goal waiting for the ball to get booted his way? It's not exciting at all and is very annoying.

[The Mackem]

It would basically be an awful game without the offside rule.

[The Mackem]

Here we go

[Sixx]

The offside rule was introduced in like 89 or 90.

[The Mackem]

1889 or 1890

Anyway, Ivory Coast are running riot here.

[RP]

Ivory Coast calling the 9 goal shot

How animated he is with Psycho :lol::lol:

[McLegend]

In this Chile/ Spain match.

Why did the Chilie goalkeeper run 50 yards to get the ball? That looked pretty stupid.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Yeah that's what you might call a brainfart

[Nicky Fives]

In this Chile/ Spain match.

Why did the Chilie goalkeeper run 50 yards to get the ball? That looked pretty stupid.

I guess he thought that his defender wasn't going to get to the ball in time, which is crazy because he was running stride-for-stride with the Spanish guy.... either way the Goalie looked like a total tool and you could say that that goal cost Chile a spot in the Final 16

[Team Sheep]

Chile are through.

[Emperor Smeat]

Germany-Argentina and Brazil-Netherlands would be very entertaining matches to watch in the 2nd Round assuming all 4 teams win their 1st playoff match.

[yianni]

Some fucking juicy games coming up this weekend, massively for it

Football :y:

[Rev. Hallowell]

Fuck the games, listen to that background music!

I want a vuvuzela! <----(That's not a joke. Blowing one at work would be funny as hell)

[yianni]

WHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :rofl: :lol:

lol still love Nando though.

That's so Cristiano Ronaldo of him.

[ct2k]

Disgusting cheating ladyboy cunt.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

To be fair he doesn't look like much of a girl now he's had his haircut.

[Team Sheep]

If he can get away with it then he's a top bloke :)

[RP]

This Suarez dude on Uruguay is owning nigs

[CSL]

Yeah, I'd have thought somebody is going to pay a lot of money for him in the coming weeks.

[Rev. Hallowell]

I'm not one who roots for injuries often (usually just Ray Lewis, that fucking murderer), but I'd love to see one of these diving pussies land wrong and tear an ACL.

[Sixx]

Have a bad feeling he's gonna suck outside the Netherlands, like many before him.

Hope I'm wrong, though, and he blooms like Romario and Ronaldo back in the day.

[ct2k]

To be fair he doesn't look like much of a girl now he's had his haircut.


Yes he fucking does

[#BROKEN Hasney]

To be fair he doesn't look like much of a girl now he's had his haircut.

Looks like he should be in Good Charlotte now.

Just woke up, reckon USA will win here, but that could be because I'm still sleepy.

[Team Sheep]

USA! USA! USA!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Don't understand why flopping is even tolerated by teammates and coaches. It's so disgraceful and makes the entire nation look bad.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Don't understand why flopping is even tolerated by teammates and coaches. It's so disgraceful and makes the entire nation look bad.
It gets results, because refs fall for it and governing bodies do nothing about it.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I know it works, but it's such an embarrassing tactic. Like how could you possibly take pride in your team if it's full of floppers? I'd be so embarrassed if I was an Italian watching my team fake injuries all game. How about a little class

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Lie, cheat, and steal</font>

[Droford]

Im watching soccer..wtf

all I can think of is..

Im Ghanna get you soccer

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wooooo a USA World Cup game I can actually see</font>

[RatedGSuperstar]

Kofi Kingston can suck a dick today.

USA.

[Droford]

whoops

[Supreme Olajuwon]

ugh lazy fucking defense again

nice goal though

[CSL]

lol can't score from 12 yards against Chelsea but makes the most powerful country on earth look silly

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ouch

[Ogen]

Awful from De Merrit, get onto your man ffs.

[RoXer]

Its all over

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Ghana looks so calm and clean with their play. US looks awful.

[CSL]

Doesn't look like the Yanks are gonna touch the Ghana midfielders and they don't even have Essien.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>*marks out for Bill Clinton in the crowd*</font>

[Supreme Olajuwon]

WHATCHA GHANA DO BROTHER

[Razzamajazz]

"Kenya dig it?"

wait, wrong country

[Droford]

I dont get why a kick to the back of the knee is a yellow card but to the front of the knee isn't

[Crimson]

The U.S getting schooled.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The American yellow card was more for intent since he had no intention of playing the ball, plus the position of it as he was running on goal.
