World Cup 2006

[fineintent]

I've got tickets to Spurs/Inter. That's all I have to look forward to

My Spurs fan mate is going to that game and invited me...you're not my friend are you?

It is highly doubtful.

VIVA LA BOLOGNESE!

Thats just won me a lovely £150.

And what I can't believe, is that people are actually lynching Italy for what seems to be the singular penalty against Aussie, which yes, was a clear dive, but I haven't seen any other instances brought up? At all?

They've been diving a lot of the tournament, thats just the most obvious time they did it. It hasn't just been Italy to be fair, but they've used "gamesmanship" to their advantage a lot.

[King Ellis]

HEADSTRONG I'LL TAKE YOU ON, HEADSTRONG I'LL TAKE ON ANYONE!

Mudda wins 100 cool points.

Football has just degenerated, sadly. Every nation is guilty of it. Players don't try to win the ball anymore, they try to run into the man and get a free kick. Players aren't concerned with beating a man in the area and scoring a goal, they just want the penalties.

Yeah, which is sad when it comes down to supporting the team who dives LEAST rather than actually supporting the team that plays good football.

And thank fuck for the EPL, because if I had to watch anymore diving, I'd have cried.

[lafunky xxvii]

Anyone care to venture a guess at the headlines tomorrow? I'm going to go for 'Zinsane'.

[The Kraig]

Worst World Cup ever.

[Liam]

Hahahahaha - because there is no diving in the Premiership, right?

Less than most other big leagues

[IAceI]

"BLAMMO"

"YARGH!"

"KABOOM"

"YEEEEAHH!"

"SPORT HURTS...SO GO HARD, OR GO HOME"

Man, that headbutt gets better everytime I see it. Class.

[MDK]

Ziz-out

Materazzi took a great bump

[King Ellis]

Is it me or does Mazza kick out at him as he lands?

[The Kraig]

Yeah, but let's not kid ourselves that it's just foreigners who dive. In England it's been seen from most of the big names including Rooney, Gerrard, Owen etc.

In Scotland the big name players don't dive.
