World Cup 2010 Thread

3-0. Rooney.

After listening to videoclips of the vuvuzela trumpets I am in no doubt that South Africa will win the World Cup. It'll totally upset all the other countries. They sound awful.

[Age Of The Lariat]

What is the point of those horns? Like, who goes to a match, brings a horn, and just blows it all game? Pointless. It's even worse and more annoying than the people I see at Scunthorpe who are fellow Scunthorpe fans who turn up in Chelsea/Arsenal/Liverpool/Man Utd shirts and spend all match checking for updates on their games on their phone and telling their mates when there's a goal.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Annoying as fuck to be quite frank.

One thing I love to do when watching football is have it turned up pretty loud, but I just don't see how I'll be able to bare the sound of those shit things. Hopefully half the fans get annoyed with them and it's not too bad come the WC.

I read somewhere that FIFA have said the vuvuzela will be banned as soon as one is used as a 'missile.'

That's why I'm glad England are playing on the second day.

[Farmer Reil]

It's just as well we're up on the second day, since we have to wait until Friday for Italians to start setting fire to things.

[Lineker]

Twatball!

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

I wonder how the media in North Korea will potray the matches their team loses

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Nani's out. Bust his shoulder in training.

[Dynamite]

Gutted for Nani. He's been on fire these past few months and could have had a really good World Cup. It's disappointing that the World Cup is going to be missing a player capable of

[brenchill]

According to ITV news the Brazilian referee for saturdays game has been given a "dossier" of swear words and phrases that are likely to be used by Premiership footballers. And if they hear any swear words or any of these phrases the player is to be severely reprimanded. What a shower of shite.

[Farmer Reil]

Yeah, it sucks that footballers are expected to act like civilised human beings when being broadcast worldwide during a massive tournament. ¬_¬

Cue all the whining that this is going to affect England more than anyone else (except perhaps Spain and Italy). Learn? A lesson? Fuck off, ya cunts.

Well that's simple. North Korea will not lose. They've never lost. In fact, they've already won the World Cup and are preparing for the team's return and victory parade.

Whining about this will only be second to complaints about the climate and how the England players aren't use to it.

[Farmer Reil]

I'm just looking forward to seeing Rooney get booked for nearly killing a Serbian midfielder, call the referee a cunt and get his second yellow in record time.

I realise Serbia aren't in our group, but we'll need to wait for the second round to see Rooney after he's banned for two games for beating the shit out of Michael Bradley inside ten minutes of the game against the USA.

If you want to whine about the Brazilian referee for the England/USA game, whine about how he was suspended by his domestic league last season following accusations of bribery and incompetence.

No, I don't know why he's at the World Cup either.

[TCO]

You think that's bad?

England sent Howard Webb!

[IAceI]

Oh God you've mentioned Howard Webb.

Everyone brace for the Spurs fans...

Oh you missed out on a chance to mention your world cup wallchart for the umpteenth time there.

[IAceI]

Who? What wall chart?
