It's like a Browns vs Raiders game. Unfortunately sometimes you just have to put up with them.

Yeah, uruguay vs france wasn't a lot of fun to watch, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Stellar performance on defense by uruguay.

The games today were in 3D on ESPN 3D but Im betting like, 25 people actually saw it, havent heard any reviews on it.

I have been seeing nothing but soccer everywhere for the last week.

I live in a country without a fucking team in the world cup.

The fuck.

Yeh, and in american sports there's never a bad match in any of them is there?:roll: As with any sport/tournament, some games will be good/great some will be average/shit. Except baseball ofcourse, thats always shit.

Mexico caught a huge break with France-Uruguay ending as a tie since now everyone is tied with 1 point. Same with S. Africa since now they have a chance to sneak in while the rest of the group fights each other for the top spot.

Don't really understand the whole "hate" over the horns since its nothing different than a S. American match or Central America/Mexico match that uses them a lot. MLS even has them in certain location.

The horns are no more retarded than thunder sticks.

The horns can fuck right off, never heard anything so annoying at a football match. Just killing the atmosphere as well. Just a constant drone of horns no passion in that at all.

Joe Horn

Good game this.

:| Greece are a shambles

yianni :'(

S.korea playing some nice stuff though.

That's what I said to my girlfriend last night, there is no atmosphere in these games.
All you can hear is this drone.

Lovely goal from Park

Argentina are going to absolutely muller Greece off the planet

Greece having a few chances now.

Yeah my thinking too

The Koreas always show up. love watching them. best game thus far

Argentina is about to rape Nigeria.

Maradona looks like the midget from Fantasy island.

Nigeria to win 1-0 :D

Ready to watch my first game of this world cup. I don't watch soccer regularly..at all, but the world cup is a must.

Come on the Yak!

TODAY, THE UNITED STATES SHOCKS THE WORLD!!!!

C'mon Nigeria, finish you dark fucks.

cant wait too beat the USAssholes. :D;)

Love Maradona's beard. Makes him look like Saddam.

The only noise worse than those horns is Mick McCarthy's droning voice.

Wish everyone would stop fucking moaning and enjoy the game instead, if i can do that then others can.

You don't enjoy those thick, irish tones?

What?

You can enjoy Newcastle United games, makes it easier to endure annoying things :shifty:

Just mean like everyone complaining about horns and other bullshit. Im just happy to watch some football.

I AM EVERYONE.

Finally, some respect.

Yeh, but ive seen similar comments elsewhere/on here aswell, just annoying.

The horns are incredibly annoying and they make it difficult to enjoy the game. Why wouldn't people complain?

Wish everyone would stop fucking moaning about complaining and enjoy the thread instead, if i can do that then others can.

lol hasney

What would really make my day complete (other than Nigel Mansell only lasting 17 minutes into the 24 hour Le-Mans lol) would be the England band doing a rendition of "Going Loco Down in Akapulko" during the match.

Quite looking forward to the England band being drowned out and feeling suitably pissed off as they seem like self important cocks.

Saw like 15 minutes of the Argentina game before falling asleep ffs :( shattered from lsat night

LOL

I think I prefer the horns to the 1463365th rendition of the great escape.

Agreed, they apparently don't pay for travelling costs or ticket costs.

The magic gets lost so easily when you get corporate sponsorship.

SWP is useless, cheer on usa then ye cunt.

thats cause youre stupid

England is my country, ill support them whoever plays. I know gloryhunters don't understand this, so no worries.

Supporting where youre from is stupid? right.

Wrong. Gloryhunters dont get sarcasim either. :)

Anyway stfu, the games on soon. Would rather pretend people like you dont exist.

Fuck England. Come on the USA. Throw in a disabling injury for John Terry, one where he needs to blow through a tube to move his wheelchair around would be good.

You would have to be a really sad arsehole to support against your country. Completely misses the whole point of international tournaments.

To let TL keep his innocence, I won't complain about Adrian Chiles being the most useless fucking presenter of all time. Seriously, you could replace him with Basil Brush...

Ahem...

I'm keeping it positive. KEEGAN :love:

Now, back to F1 Q3 before the match.

Adrian is alright you can complain if you wish as its itv.:D

i have to admit ive had a few beers today to settle the nerves :D

Hasney, F1 question. Is there no F1 2010 thread cos F1 is generally hated here?

Wow..goalkeeper for England had it go off his leg it looked like haha

Hahahah England is choking at a record pace this year.

ahahaaaaaaaaaaahahahhahahahaahahahaa

DESTINY!!!!

More like Tom Green, cause he's a fuckin' clown. Awesome joke.

<font color=goldenrod>lol if this ends in a draw after 60 years of waiting</font>

Quit being pussies England...PLAY TO WIN!

Weve outplayed you 2nd half, you guys got a lucky break, meh. Algeria and slovenia next, no big deal.

NEVER SETTLE!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

You couldn't beat fucking USA in soccer?

US are a decent team.

Not that you'd know that.

Its not like you're a bunch of unorganised twats. But we did outplay you 2nd half. dempsey got lucky.

Not that he got lucky, your goalkeeper just fucked this up.

How lucky a draw was that? The US attack was very underwhelming today. Tim Howard is a legend.

This was the only keeper combo that could've netted the US a draw. If Green wasn't in England wins 1-0. If Howard wasn't in, England probably wins 5-0.

Same thing.

exactly.

Credit the American defenders though for clamping down when it mattered. England had a lot of open space but never looked comfortable in the box.

Also Slovenia and Algeria better be ready because Rooney will probably be out for blood after today.

The American defence was shite, aside from Onyewu who was a fucking mountain of a man. He made up for the rest of them.

Nah, you've got Hahnemann :cool:

US played the better football overall, honestly, albeit lacking much of a cutting edge. Cole neutralised Donovan fairly well, he'll come alive in the other games. Carragher could've been sent off in another game, and if Altidore could finish it could easily have been 2-1. Should get through the group easily - depending on how it turns out US can make the quarters again, no problem.

Can't believe it's 2010 and the England team contains Rob Green, Jamie Carragher, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Emile Heskey and Peter Crouch. Good god :nono:

*sigh* Anyway, let us hope Algeria and Slovenia don't get any ideas.

US played no football whatsoeever in the 2nd half.

That whole stick your foot out and hope to deflect the shot wide technique that the US was using today has got to go.

You could say that the US got the rub of the Green..........

Must've dreamt the part where they hit the post

What the hell was up with our passing? So many shitty passes. And I'm not talking long balls either, but short stuff. While under little to no pressure. Inexcusable at this level that we had so many give aways.

wowz they hit the post ONCE

Which was the closest either side came. To say they did nothing 2nd half is a gross simplification. Heskey had the one on one but other than that England did not create a significant chance on goal in the 2nd half. Call it bad luck, call it last ditch defending, whatever.

What im on about is we dominated posession, and chances created. Heskey let us down at the crucial moment. I've been one of his supporters but im starting to get frustrated with him, it aint a joke anymore.

I don't know about posession in the whole match but it was 51-49 for USA at the beginning of the 2nd half. Couldn't see much of the 2nd half cause the broadcast was shit cause of massive storm.

Possession means nothing without incisive play. We spent a ton of time knocking it around the back four without going anywhere.

It's eerily like 2007. Pass it about the back while under no pressure, get bored/frustrated/tired, hoof it to the target man, try to feed off scraps. South Korea keep the ball better than we do.

Its the 1st game anyway, algeria and slovenia to come!!!!!!

Sorry I can't hear you

:D

US played pretty shit in that game. They showed signs (Altidore, Findley,) of greatness at points, but overall they were not good. Thier passing game made me want to rip my hair out and they dragged thier feet a lot of the time within the first 25 minutes when thier legs should be fresh. Obviously we caught a lucky break, but Howard was fucking incredible. He saved the game about 5 times.

It always seemed like England had more players on the field, which says a lot about the game. They surrounded the USA on midfield defense, but USA played pretty good defense in thier goal, except for the Lampard goal.

actually they didn't really play good defense in thier goal. It was Howard most of the time

And Onyewu.
