Re: World Cup thread

football is a gentleman sport compared to ice hockey. sometimes it seems the whole point of ice hockey is to beat the opponents' players into pulp. whereas in football the opposing sides players seem very friendly, even offering a hand after tripping them over. i've never seen a fight in a football match. in ice hockey it's encouraged.

Italy deserve to go out. They've been shite. I'm chuffed that some of the so called big teams have really struggled at this tournament!

Re: World Cup thread

Yes, They CAN !!  big_smile
What a great performance by Japan. They have improved big time. I'm really excited cause I've been cheering for them ever since.

I'm also looking forward to the Sunday classic. Though I'm German I don't really know who to cheer for cause I teach English. I think Germany will be ahead though when Özil, Schweinsteiger, Podolski, Müller and Lahm show what they are really capable of!

May the better team win!

Welcome to the Future...

Re: World Cup thread

Never sorry to see the Italians go home, cheating gits lol

Japan are wierd, one minute they look nothing more than just a capable but ordinary team...but that honda is some player.

Think Schweinsteiger may be injured for the England game, no prizes for guessing who i'll be supporting big_smile

Re: World Cup thread

yas, I know. Japan all the way.
They will have a tough game against Paraguay. but we can hope.

Re: World Cup thread

I said it before and I say it again: GO JAPAN!
I really love the way they play - they really PLAY, I mean together as a team, feels absolutely deserved that compared to starplayer teams like italy and france where one pesonality tries to top the other, they where among the ones that cam further.
And mexico too.
Slovakia I have a lot of sympathy for their great game against italy, although their defense is pretty bad.

Great world cup so far!

Re: World Cup thread

I really do not like this Brazil team.  Dunga's vision sucks.  Maradona and Argentina are the way (even though this Argentina team isn't half as good as the one they had in 1998 which should have won that tournament!)

Re: World Cup thread

Good to See Hamsik biting the football.

Not seen a bite like that since Pogatetz a few years back.

Dunga sucks.

Still suffering from '94 trauma... De Goey should have held that one.. but I digress..


True about the Argentina remark though, really hope we get an Argentina - England clash somewhere down the road, like 12yrs ago.

Re: World Cup thread

Yeah Brazil looked pretty stale.  Fucking Portugal are agonizing to watch, though, I really hope they are going home soon.
