World Cup 2010 Thread

The only positive for France is that I believe that they've now done better than they did at Korea/Japan '02.

Only for the fact that they scored.

Holy crap I remember watching Senegal scoring that goal live, It was awesome despite the handicap of not knowing where Senegal was.

Haha, that was awesome. Watching all the French going "What the fuck just happend?"

[Lineker]

Half of the French team was probably Senegalese-born anyway.

I CALL SHENANIGANS!

Half? You mean 7/8ths?

[EddieG]

All the "looky, looky" men in Spain were from Senegal so they started giving out free cd's, it was awesome indeed.

Tshabalaladdy hell that was close

Uruguay getting to the QF's is looking a good shout. Who woulda thunk it.

Those of us in the Western Hemisphere felt they had a pretty good shot.

congrats to South Africa on this match though, and to the energy/atmosphere they bring.

FRANCE LOSE FRANCE LOSE!

They finish bottom!

Revenge - Irish style!

Kind of sad to see South Africa go out at the group stages....But it does mean I'm so far 2/2 for qualifying teams to get my 100 pints!

Anyway it's all worth it to see France go out so desperately.

[maninblack]

That last-gasp attempt by South Africa was such a downer. The goal was wide open till the absolute last moment when a Frenchie manages to punt the ball away

Me.

Part of me hopes it's South Korea, because I like the Koreans. But part of me hopes it's Nigeria because they've been really shit.

And a big 'fuck off you cunt' to Domenench for not shaking Parreira's hand at the end of the game. Disgraceful.

[Baddar]

What's the deal with the black 'stripes' down the front and back of some of the Adidas WC shirts? Some of the France and Argentina players have it, but others don't. Anyone know the reason behind it? I remember seeing similar on Russia's new shirt too...

[HailtotheYo]

Those are the Adidas "TechFit" shirts ... some stupid shit about better performance blah blah

Isn't that to be expected from Domenech, though? He's probably the most hated manager alive, and with good reason.

That said... BAHAHAHA, FRANCE

[stokeriño]

Nigeria: That is quite probably the worst miss I have ever, ever seen.

Oh well. They have a penalty now!

And Yakubu no longer has to kill himself. 2-2.

[Farmer Reil]

Greece have been diabolical. Other than the goalkeeper, who's been awesome, and the guy man-marking Messi, who's done his job really well (and Samaras in the three seconds total he's had the ball), they've defended (badly) all game and done nothing. Now they're losing anyway. Wish I'd watched the other game now.

Not only did they defend badly all game and then concede, but they've needed to win ever since the first goal in the Korea game, and haven't even bothered to try. So now they get sweet fuck all. And it's very sweet fuck all for all of the poor non-Greeks that had to watch them.

Argentina on the other hand has 72% possession at one point, Messi could've had three despite his man marker, Argentina as a whole should've had 4 or 5 if not for the keeper and the post.

PALERMO!!!! Second most well-deserved goalscorer at the entire world cup, surely. With Messi in second place (and he's now hit the post THREE TIMES in this game alone). If not well-deserved, then at least player I'm happiest for. And Maradonna's gone mad on the touchline. He's been far more entertaining than the entire Greek side.

I want a kiss and a pat on the bum from Maradona.

A couple were getting a divorce and their son was asked whether he'd like to stay with his mum or his dad. He told the judge that his mum beats him daily, and so he didn't want to live with her. The judge asked 'What about your dad?'. 'He beats me too' answered the son. 'Then who do you want to live with?' asked the judge.

'The French football team. They beat no one.'

Really old recycled and adapted jokes = epic fail.

[IAceI]

Quick, someone tell the joke about the England matches being moved to the gay channel!
