Astrotoy7 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 CATCH THE EXCITEMENT! Says the man with the BASEBALL avvie The Italy v Paraguay match was my favorite so far. I really like to see two teams going at it. Hence I was pleasantly surprised with Italy's relentless pressure in the last 20. I think they realise that finishing second in that group and meeting the Netherlands in the next round is something they don't want to do Portugal 2-2 Ivory Coast.... Brazil 4-0 North Korea... Portugal is so unpredictable, but if they have some set plays up their sleeve they may pull it off DAY 5 PREDICTIONS IVORY COAST v PORTUGAL: 1-2 BRAZIL v PRKOREA: 4-0 HONDURAS v CHILE: 0-2 mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I don't think I have been excited by the matches so far. Not the ties I'm bothered with, but the football itself is afwul. Even Ivory Coast against Portugal has no goals. Luckily, some nice action by Brazil. Not amazing, but better than most in this tournament. Kudos to North Korea for making it difficult for Brazil and scoring a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Sun Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'd like England to win, Not because I'm English, but because maybe then we can shut up about it lol, anybody would think the 66 world cup was the only thing that ever happened in the history of England Not...Going...To...Happen...Ever! Here in Scotland, 1966 never happened btw Spain seems to be the favourite but they are always the team that participate and do well, but never win lolz I'd love to see Holland take it for a change DAY 5 PREDICTIONS IVORY COAST v PORTUGAL: 1-2 BRAZIL v PRKOREA: 4-0 HONDURAS v CHILE: 0-2 mtfbwya Lolz @ Brazil - N. Korea being 2-1 wtf? I knew Portugal would blow though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl Alt Del Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Weak, weak Brazil x N.Korea match. I wasn't expecting much to begin with, but it sure as hell could have been so much better. And that single korean goal was total proof of our recklessness on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredi Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I admire the heart of the North Koreans, they fought as well as they could and end up making a goal at the last minutes. Brazil left us expecting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 wow...portugal and brazil.. lets just hope that was game 1 jitters. Kudos to New Zealand. They played much better than Australia, even though the Slovakians bragged about being better pre-game. DAY 6! SPAIN v SWITZERLAND: 2-1 SOUTH AFRICA v URUGUAY: 1-0 I was pleased to note that FIFA President gave everyone an official STFU with regards to the Vuvuzelas. Its part of the African game, and has been since the 1970s. Deal with it whiteys Some more geeky WC humour : mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salzella Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 ^^ Chile aren't they're 1-0 up to Honduras and their approach is a breath of fresh air. they're a very handy outfit indeed. Them plus Spain today means today may actually give up some good games. here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 wow.. the first true upset of the tourney... with spain losing their opener - though I must admit - I'm not hugely surprised. I watched the swiss play Italy in a friendly (1-1) a couple weeks ago and the Swiss were reasonably impressive. Torres and Villa definitely seem a bit rusty mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salzella Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm faintly disgusted by that win actually, if only for the sake of a watchable tournament. all the coaches of these very average teams have looked at Inter's champions league title, where they stifled opponents twice as talented as themselves and created a dreary, lifeless spectacle and then won. and they all nodded, stroked their chins and went off to work on their own versions. fine, but then you're going to get games like this one where, in all honesty, it's incredibly dull to watch, and worse is when two teams adopt the same tactics and cancel each other out - see portugal versus the Ivory coast. applaud their discipline and organisation all you want but i don't watch football for an excellent showcase of defensive excellence, i watch it for goals, drama and attacking - all of which are usually ingredients of the better world cups - and there has been very little of that so far. in short, i blame Jose Mourinho.

Rogue Nine Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 They're not getting rid of those stupid horns that sound like buzzing bees? Stupidest non-decision they could have made. I don't give two ****s that it's part of South African culture, it's goddamn annoying and takes away from already limited enjoyment of this boring-ass game for a majority of Americans. I hope everything ends in a tie and nobody wins because really, with all that buzzing, everyone loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfTheFish Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Wow, can't believe Spain lost. What a slow tournament this has been so far... It's ok, when messi Argentina slaughter South Korea tomorrow things will pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the goalscorers >_> Losing a first match puts pressure on a team. Most big tournament winners start with a draw and then free-wheel themselves into the next round because they have gotten used to the weather etc. The humidity is supposed to be devastating over there. The weather very strange and the fields terrible. Also, most teams take shape after the first round. For example, the Spanish right winger, Navas, was VERY bad. Same was true for Torres. Now that this is known, new players will grab their chance. Maybe they'll play 4-4-2 next time with Torres and Villa from the start. Same is true for Holland. It didn't work with Van der Vaart and Sneijder on the midfield. The substitute (Elia) was awesome and another one (Afellay) was too. Sneijder sucked as well and might have to fear for his place. Now it'll all be a lot more on edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Not that much of a fan of Spain, but at this point in the WC, I don't care who scores, as long as someone does. But the Swiss played it well. Hopefully we'll see some South-African optimism later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan7 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm gutted, so far the world cup has been a triumph for teams playing cowardly pack men behind the ball football. Is this really what the game is coming to? I refuse to accept that Switzerland played well, they had like 3 actual attacks in the whole game... This is currently the worst World Cup I've ever seen...
