I'll look forward to Germany whining when they lose and then claim that they would definitely have won if it wasn't for the injured players~ >:D

to prove those critics that Messi really is the best player in the worldIn b4 THE MESSI CURSE
In b4 THE MESSI CURSE
God, journalists have a Messi-mania here (I'm from Argentina by the way). Gotta agree with the Maradona issue. I mean, last year in that conference I KNEW he was going to say something epic/terrible/disastrous and boy he delivered but... No, I don't like the guy at all. He played well and all in the past but from that to making almost a deity by some people it's plain silly. We can't live just of that, jeez.
Is that the one where he said that he'll streak on the streets if they won the whole thing?Nope, the one where we managed to get into the World Cup. He sat in silence in front of the journalists, half of them with a well-known hatred towards him and he started throwing the most hilarious insults (impossible to translate to english with the same level of hilarity) but what was even funnier is that besides all the cursing he said "and I apology for the women present"... and he kept on cursing, bwahahaha. My father couldn't stop laughing. And he's always a serious business person.
South Africa just scored a goal against Mexico
Rofl did they do a victory dance just now yes they did :getdown:

Next game in 2 hours. Uruguay vs France
Holy crap, North Korea beat Guam 21-0? :o How the hell does that even happen? Did they impose sanctions against the goalie or something?I'm tempted to believe they had the entire opponent team arrested before the game started :V
Not directly related to this World Cup, but...2 words:

Argentina will flatten Nigeria.
I hope they do something about the buzzing because it's atrocious.
And Argentina just won... 1-0. I expected more, honestly. But then I was at an exam when the game was on so I dunno if Nigeria played actually well.
No way, not at the level they were playing. Maybe a close game at most.
there's not much that we can do about this guy .-.Of course there bloody is. Everyone should know by now that PT=trouble goddamn.

Algeria 0 - 1 Slovenia
It was apparently a pretty bad game.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Just wanted to throw that in.
Denmark over Netherlands, Cameroon over Japan, Italy over Paraguay
Also, kudos for Germany for showing the most awesome match up to now (and bites for Australia for having a defense with lots of gaps that Yukari would be proud of). My bet's on these guys for the championship.
Whoops, fixed.
Also 4chan has embedded vuvuzela sounds in a handful of boards and it's incredibly awesome.

Japan > Cameroon, 2-1 (don't actually expect this to happen but it would be nice)I don't know why, but I really really really thought this would happen as well.

I was playing Monster Hunter and then started hearing yelling coming from my mom's room, where she and my sister were watching the game. I pretty much figured that I'd lost my bets, but that's okay. Even if I didn't have faith in their team, it's nice that Mexico got the win.Or they won't be able to play Starcraft 2 when it comes out :V
Also, I think the South Korean coach told the team that he'd take away their MMORPGs if they didn't make it past Round 1. :P
Serbia, Slovenia, Algeria.
Fuck your first world.
banned from america for being a communistAnd yet he's the only one to get the first game right
USA GOT FUCKING JOBBED
Sure did Germany a lot of good against Serbia. >_>
EDIT: Yes, I'm aware of the poor officiating that game too.
All three will be draws.
I'm not even kidding.
Is that what random.org told you? :bzzz:I just want to push my luck.
All the officiating nonsense that comes out of this World Cup will hopefully bring it out of the stone age and, at least for worldwide tournaments that are supposed to showcase teams at their best, have a fair championship that isn't blighted by blind/biased/dishonest referees.
In short, international soccer's a joke sport until they bring in some sort of dispute/challenge system involving the cameras and provide hefty penalties to anyone caught diving.
What the heeeeeeeeell
Kaka so very obviously used his arm as support (okay maybe the first was an accident, the ball fell on his hand, but the second was definitely on purpose), that goal should not count >:|

Kaka's red card was bullshit. But the goal was awesome. Too awesome for the hand ball to be seen 8)
I have to disagree on that. He actually looked for trouble where he should've been downright calm. Provoking is easy (hello, Zidane), stand on your ground, avoid troubles.
Also, maradona.jpg for the hand thing. Hell, even the referee saw it and didn't call for it.
LOL FRANCE
I've seen NFL games with lower scores than that.:getdown:
I have never seen a country get straight up murdered like that.
You're going to see it again once they go "home".Now I feel bad for them :ohdear:

Once again. Chile wins! Hooray!yes,again! (even if the swiss were a kind of human walls, the balls can go above walls (i know, in my home we lost lots of balls in that form XDXD)

Shit, missed the first two games.
Denmark < Japan 2-3
Cameroon < Nederlands 1-2
;_;What you saw was a team that only reacted to pressure, and even then did not react quite enough to tip the balance in its favor. The last few goals were pure adrenaline-based pressing on a tired team, from a team that was not quite well attuned to playing together and had players who were definitely too old or otherwise unsuited to this kind of competition. Italy did not quite deserve to go on at this point.
Italy's out. It's a shame too, considering how absolutely brutally they played around the end -- 5 more minutes and Italy would have won.
Portugal < Brazil 1-2
North Korea < Ivory Coast 1-2
Switzerland > Honduras 2-1
Chile = Spain 1-1
Oh god the single person reactions were hilarious
Okay, folks, make some knockout stage brackets!
I'm letting my national spirit loose for this.
USA/Ghana for me. I wouldn't mind Skyping for South Korea but I don't know if I'll be awake enough to Skype at that point.
Argentina is destroying Mexico.
And now that both the US and Mexico are out, I've got no one to cheer for. Except maybe Argentina, so I can watch them kick Germany's ass.
Fixed that for ya :VSo do I... But I'm liking the attitude of our players. For the first time they kinda look to be cool headed and try to ignore the disgusting exitism (sp?) of the journalists (yeah, as if it isn't obvious I dislike them) and focus on playing the match. However, they have this shitty tendency of passing the ball to the goalkeeper, who ends up giving it away with a long kick. They have the ability to play the ball properly, that kind of crap is what leads to dangerous moves from the other team.
...
...I actually feel that Germany has a good chance of beating Argentina though :ohdear:

I like how FIFA is not only not solving the officiating problem, but actively trying to cover it up.Pretty much. I'm surprised anyone can take it seriously. I guess it's just something they've grown used to.
Chile ;_;this, for make fell you a bit better...they dedicate to the Chile team this song! (in a disk full of songs for the teams...but is warmhearting!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EaAOg_3G-Y

How the heck did they let that happen :/
I admit, I was rooting for Japan in this one. :( Oh well.
Spain vs Portugal next. This better be awesome. :munch:

@Hele: I'm sorry, but part of the reason I'm rooting for Portugal in this is precisely because Cristiano Ronaldo has an incredibly manly and sexy body. :*You and me, are enemies now. If I lose, I get to perform /shino on you. Deal ?
I knew I forgot something!Deal.
Hele, WHEN Portugal wins, you will write Yumemi x Cristiano Ronaldo fiction. YES. :derp:
Deal.
If Porto wins, I write Ronaldo x Yumemi fiction.

Nederlands has a legit chance, I think they're good enough to take Brasil to PKs if they try hard enough and anyone can win those.

As well as for the players as they keep overhitting the ball because of how light it is.

FINAL:
Dutchland vs Bratwurst land > Lions eat bratwurst. We win.
At this moment, Helepolis is going crazy.I was more like name calling and cursing the referee for fucking not-finishing the game. He continued the game for 2 more minutes on the official stoppage time. That was not cool.
Spain dominated that one. Absolutely deserved their win.
...am I the only one who wants Spain to win?Nope. PARA LA PATRIA! :toot:

shitty refs and the lack of video support decide matches, men dive like babies and delaying the match while winning should get banned. Seriously, out of the final 6 minutes they had they played maybe...two.
Spain =/= Italy :VHar har har
Spain =/= Italy :V
Just because Italy are the Queens of diving doesn't mean Spain (or Argentina or Portugal, for that matter) don't do it in droves as well.
And don't think that the Netherlands don't do it as well.
And for Paul the Octopus, I still stand by my statement that his decisions were based on the high percentage of red and yellow in the flags, making him choose Germany over everything but Spain and then Spain over Nederlands.
I find it amusing that some people will find any reason to complain. There was little if no flopping at all in the final, how many games do you people watch every four years?

And thus, this was the last BZZZZ on Earth..... or is it?
If there are games with more flopping than what I saw today on a regular basis I'm amazed anyone can be a fan of this sport.
BAD NEWSI am not a football fan (and I am French...T_T) but I am quite happy for Spain.
It's not the end. Not even close.

Why do YOU go out there and do it yourself? Clearly you can't understand otherwise.
Also I'm going to cherrypick your words and completely leave out where you included "embellishment" with diving.
Hahahahahahaha.
Yeah, I think we're done here.
i second every word you said, except for soccer. it`s football =)

I have no problem with aggressive, physical playDespite agreeing with you earlier, I must oppose you here. Football is a game of finesse, pushing and trying to intimidate is not what you should be doing to take control of the ball, rather you should try outskilling your adversary. That, I think, is why you see so much diving from the "good" teams like Argentina, Spain, Italy and so on.
