Oh, apparently he's moving to Everton next month.

We're ranked 78th in the world, if you didn't know.

Don't think any of the teams are dealing with the altitude very well, the ball flies a lot more.

We're ranked 58th, and we were 28th or something not that long ago.

Yeah, we were 156 at the end of 2007 though.

But this rankings are kind of stupid, really. I wouldn't rank Portugal 3rd and Netherlands 4th.

Well, back to the topic, NZ's gotta win this if they want to have at least a chance of qualifying further. Maybe a shocking win over Paraguay next or something. I'd like that.

Well, their Draw with Italy did us a favour.

Also, Football isn't even the biggest winter sport here, rugby is, by a million miles. But NZ getting into the World Cup has given it a huge boost.

Winter sport?

Yeah, it doesn't snow here. Football is a winter sport. Cricket is our main summer sport.

Oh, right, forgot it's winter now on the southern part of the globe.

Fuck

Booooo

Offside!

Yes, it was.

Ah well, it still counts

Not morally.

Too bad it's irrelevant.

Lol New Zealand!

holy shit

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

FUCKING HELL!

luv it

Fucking greatest. WOOOO FUCK YES!

Dunno what you guys are going on about, I tipped a 1-1 draw in this game. NZ showed Australia up something shocking in a friendly a few weeks ago (even though they lost) and they beat Serbia in a friendly last week so they're no slouches. Good on them, I mean Italy should dispose of them next week but I reckon they'll have a massive go at Paraguay to try get out of the group. I have a cheeky fiver on them to make the round of 16 so go Kiwis! :cool:

:roll:

It's more the fact we scored with about a second to go mate! :D

FUCKING PUMPED

I do love how some try to ruin those moments.

Yeah, it was real obvious NZ were gonna score in the dying seconds of the game.

:roll:

Nah, Yianni's alright, he mentioned ages ago that he rated NZ.
Better than Aus and Greece if my memory serves me correctly :D

That's the start of the World Cup right there. Good on them.

TL I was just joking mate, the last minute goal was wild!! But I was being serious when I said I tipped a 1-1 draw, NZ are no pushovers from what I've seen and they thoroughly deserved that point

And BC if nobody believes me that I tipped that result you can speak to that Kiwi chick I introduced you to when you were here and she'll confirm it :D

Ok no probs!

Good to see Ronaldo being a prick again.

I want those huge black guys to gang-rape Ronaldo.

Portugal is "fucking shit," is Cristiano Ronaldo like the Sidney Crosby of "football" where he is a huge faggot and dives a lot and everyone thinks is the greatest of all time.

Messi dives pretty rarely to be honest. He gets the shit kicked out of him an awful lot and usually tries to keep playing.

Good god this game is shit

Its been a rather shite world cup imo, just hoping it picks up as it goes on, certainly should in the knock out stages and final group games. Sick of seeing teams content with passing it around/not doing anything for ages.

Korean player balling his eyes out during national anthem

Ivory Coast's goalkeeper looks like Tupac.

LOL@Brazil

Well played north korea though!

North Korea went into this game playing with 8 defenders and just 1 mid and 1 striker since they knew anything better than a beat-down would be a "win" for them.

Until that 1st goal, Brazil looked very flat unlike the other times they were in a World Cup.

2-1 :D :D :D

I actually laughed when Korea scored.

N Korea:y:

AHHAHAHAHAHA

break up the Swiss!

AAAAA DEATH TO THE SWISS!!!

ahahahahahaaha

:D

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

this is a proper game this.

Spain are all over them still. Just can't buy a finish

wowwwwwwwwwwwwww

i've watched 4 matches and this is the best so far

ive watched almost all of them and this is definitely the best

WHAT A GAME

lol

...and there goes that multi. Ugh

Spain is still on the field trying to score

i bet they keep missing due to the swerve of the 'new ball'. :lol:

Fucking neutral cocksuckers.

Shouldn't they at least draw being neutral and shit?

no chance

Forlan looks like Totti

Don't bother jumping

Whole stadium got quiet once the ref gave the PK for Uruguay.

Good man Diego, now get 2 more in your next game. 70/1 top scorer :cool:

Argies South Korea could be good tomorrow, nippy little bastards those Koreans (http://www.otf2.com/forums/images/smilies/djmac.png) could well give the Argies a scare if they get at them. Would quite like to see a Leo Messi masterclass in pounding an inferior team into the ground though.

greece v nigeria could be dull as hell

Nay they've to both go for the win now after losing their first game.

Yeah but that doesn't mean they have the quality too play great attacking football.

Argentina are going to put 10 past Greece the way they've been playing against Korea. Of course as I type that the bloody Koreans pull a goal back :lol:

Neither are known to have a great defense. So I don't think it'll be a 0-0 draw

Greece won the euro's once by being very defensive/boring too watch. Difference is this time i think their defence isnt that good either but we'll see.

omg south korea just missed a huge chance to tie.

Higuain 25/1 golden boot winner on Paddy Power
;)

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DON'T CARE IF IT TOOK A HUGE DEFLECTION, OUR FIRST EVER WORLD CUP GOAL!!!!

Pretty poor for Greece to take a man sent off for them to actually do something.

Higuan looks a top bet for top scorer now, stupid me I only put 50p on Forlan top scorer the other week.

Oh dear.

OMG what a save. I'm really loving this sport

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

was too tired/unwell to watch this, seems it hasn't been as bad as i feared thankfully.(saw the argentina match though)

hmmm commentators just said greece haven't been inspiring at all despite the 2-1 lead, god i hate greece.

I take pride in the fact that I'm probably the only Canadian to have watched every game (but one)..... I have no loyalty to any nation, but I'm really digging Diego Forlan and the only black guy on the Dutch team, whose name I forget..... starts with an A I believe....

I think you mean Eljero Elia, cause he really played well. But he's not the only black guy on the Dutch team, although they did have a lot more a few years back.

France vs. Mexico is amazing to watch on Telemundo

France are awful, Mexico fully deserve that goal. Hope they fucking hammer them!

wow, how the heck did that happen. That's the move I always do in my Fifa Soccer games. lol

fuck the french!

hahahaha, they almost did it again. off sides though

glad to see the mexicans hammering these french fucks

Dived before the challenge there tbf, woulda been a pen anyhow tho, come on...

Beautiful, couldn'tve placed it closer to the post

:lol:

Allez les verts
