World Cup

[Geno 25]

So Brazil won the opening game but only thru faking a foul for a penalty and a bad ref. Croatia played very well and I expect them to go thru to the next round anyway.

I totally agree. A less than impressive Brazil with 12 men (including the Japanese referee) beat a brave Croatian team. It was disgusting to watch so many Brazilians (especially Marcello) taking a dive to get a free kick after the slightest body contact with Croatian players.

I haven't watched it yet………have to pace myself, but I heard the Croatian manager say…….."If that's how it's going to be we might all as well go home"

 

Been looking at the pitch for England……. Same for both teams…….But will add to the excitement. Go for it Roy…..Do that and whatever happens you be remembered fondly.

Yup, if Croatia can't do better than an own goal they might as well go home.

A typical smart-arse reply from a Canuck. FYI, Croatia is a small European country with a population of less than 5 million people. Did you watch the match?

Yup I did see it live. Besides the own goal the Croats had maybe a small argument about the penalty kick. I'd say it was a 80% good call. What does my nationality have to do with anything? Darwin? Isn't that synonymous for stupid people that shouldn't breed?

Don't worry about the state of the pitch that England will play on - they've sprayed it green!!!

 

 

So that makes it ok then!

Haha. I wasn't the 1 vote for USA

 

LOL... that was me!!!!!

I voted for Brazil, but after seeing the Croats valiant opposition to them, I'm ready to change my vote. They didn't look that dominant at all.

It was a joke penalty. The Croatian defender just placed his hand on the shoulder of the Brazilian and the Brazilian fell down like he had been hit with a baseball bat. It was a blatant fraud. It reminded me of that other Brazilian Rivaldo standing by the corner flag and someone kicked the ball at his legs and he dropped to the floor holding his face.

The Mexico versus Cameroon match will start at 11 PM tonight Thailand time. Both sides have good teams and I am hoping for a good game, without a one-eyed referee influencing the outcome of the game, favoring one side over the other.

You mean like this, LOL? I must compliment him on his dramatic acting ability.

Hi,

 

The pitch seemed very bumby in the game last night. Sao Paulo is their main city so its worrying if that pitch is poor. Japanese form a part of the Brazilian community, I think they eve had a Japanese President so it was very surprising that the Jap got that game. Dodgy !

No he was wrong, Brazil has never had a Japanese Pesident where as Peru did.

Mexico have had two goals disallowed in the first half. Bad Ref yet again.

Sorry I missed Wac's President reference. I didn't know that about Peru.

I thought the replay showed the first goal was offside by about half a metre. Anyway, Mexico won 1:0 in an entertaining game played under atrocious conditions. It never stopped pissing down rain for the entire game. You wouldn't want to miss tomorrows game between Spain and Holland, played at 2 AM Thai time. I will be barracking for the Dutch, as I am getting sick of Spanish teams winning all of the time. Cheers

He was level according to the papers and the pundits on ITV.I fancy Spain to turn over Holland although I am not too bothered who wind, just hope it is a good game.

[Geno 25]

Great game. The Dutch laid waste to Spain. Never seen Spain play that bad.

[atlas2 4,329]

Van Persie's first goal………. Headlines tomorrow: 'The Flying Dutchman'

 

 

 

Come on the 'Foot'eroos.

 

Fingers crossed 2nd half….. Australia always give it a go.

 

 

Oh bollox……..I'm going for a swim.
