World Cup 2010 Thread

But it's ok, because Italy put in a good performance against New Zealand. It's not easy to win against a shitty team that defends most of the game.

Ronaldo's goal was hilarious. I half expected him to throw himself on the floor and cry, but this reminds me why I like him sometimes.

For those keeping score, Ivory Coast need to beat Korea by nine goals, assuming Brazil beat Portugal by one goal. That's a big if, because on the strength of their last two games, Brazil beating Portugal at all would be something of an upset, especially without Kaka. ¬_¬ If Portugal don't lose, Ivory Coast are out of course. So...

Would almost be funny if Ivory Coast won 11-0, only for Portugal to score a last minute goal and draw 1-1 with Brazil.

Will this week at the World Cup make sense after this game?

[Colossus]

Brazil did beat us by 6-2 a year ago, so, not that hard

[Kaney]

Thats what I expected to see Brazil do. Jesus Christ, no one should be complaining about a lack of goals anymore.

I wanted Portugal to lose, lol Mendes and I hate Ronaldo but that goal Ronaldo scored was admittedly all sorts of awesome. Well done for not holding back at all, absolutely decimating them is going to send a message and so far Brazil v Portugal is shaping up to be an excellent game.

Another fun fact, we're just four goals short of seeing the most goals on one day in this world cup, and we've got Spain vs. Honduras to come...

Finally I can come out and say... We were AWESOME!

I didn't get to watch the game, had to go to the university to deliver a paper, but I sure as hell didn't expect a win, much less by 7. What the hell are they drinking?!

That game is basically do or die. So hopefully we get a good game.

Wow, A red card, who woulda thought it.

[Farmer Reil]

Was it justified? Missed the start of the game to nip to the shop. Claudio Castagnoli is up in arms about it on Twitter.

Didn't see, flicking between this and the Tennis.

This. What happened?

[Dynamite]

Behrami swung an elbow at the Chile player. Bit of an overreaction by the Chile guy looking at the replays but at first glance it seemed like a red.

[Farmer Reil]

Awwww, Sanchez looked so happy with his goal, bless him. Shame THREE players were about three yards offside.

Ahahaha, this has just turned into a brawl and a card-fest. The double-yellow (if Fernandes did get booked) was the most confusing thing ever. Don't even know what the Chilean is supposed to have done...

This referee

[naiwf]

What's the record for most cards ever handed out in a WC game? I only ask because I'm convinced the ref is trying to break it

[therockbox]

Isn't it that Netherlands/Portugal game where where there were about 16 yellows and 4 reds?

Like four guys got yellow crds in the span of the about 5 minutes. What's with all the arguing anyways? They don't ever understand what the other is saying.

Anyone else downloaded the Vuvuzela app for their iTouch/iPhone/iPad? Can't wait to use it to wake up the missus.
