FIFA World Cup

[wut?]

anybody watching?

[Aku no Hikari]

Nope. I never watch football.

Last time I tried to watch a match, it was probably the World Cup 2002 finale, and I couldn't bare more than 15 minutes.

I just started watching football (the World Cup, of course) last night, and already I feel sorry for Green.

[Haoie]

My work seems abuzz over it.

Me, couldn't care less.

[-GAZKUL-]

Watching it, loving it, supporting Italy bacause Scotland didn't qualify again. I think England are overrated though Crouch is definately something spacial. watching the ighlights between posts.

[miniPhil]

Of course not, Dr. Who was on. I'll probably start watching after the initial stages are finished and we get into the quarter finals. I'll probably support France seen as I like the country and their humiliating defeat last time.

[Ryuuzaki HD]

Don't watch it but found this pretty funny:

This --^
Minus the actual watching. I still mock the countries that loose, though. Even though their teams have little to nothing to do with their actual countries.

Just like back in 'nam, eh?

[Jagan Eye]

Enjoying it quite a lot. I've missed two games because they interfered with my sleep at 7 AM, but other than that, I'm avidly following. And also enjoying all the funny parodies done about Green. He'll probably be this season's Zidane.

[Derrick Remon]

Italy or USA all the Way!!

[CrystalAce]

Yes, I'm watching it but not every match. I may watch it regularly once the quater-finals commences. As for who I support, it's England, Spain and Argentina. The last choice is just to see how much sanity Maradonna may be left with, if they win the world cup.

[Alcmaeonid]

The Jerries are bringing the Cup home, just you wait and see. First the Eurovision, then the World Cup and soon the latter without "Cup".

[miniPhil]

2-2 U.S.A wins again. Probably the most entertaining match so far. Best bit was

Japan and Holland atm. Kinda sucks, Japan doing best so far.
EDIT: GOAL!!!!! Holland up 1-0

[DOOM!]

FIFA and other similar estrogen-filled pissing contests are a cancerous blight on society that impairs simple thought.

Vuvuzelas...vuvuzelas.....those Africans and their vuvuzelas!

[TheThunderBringer]

I don't plan my day around it, but I'll watch it when I'm eating lunch or something...I don't really watch sports in general.

[Eris]

Vuvuzelas...vuvuzelas.....those Africans and their vuvuzelas!

I know. They're absolutely brilliant.

BBBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZ

Cameroon and Denmark 1-1! Whoot whoot! Spent the whole day today just watching football. I feel disappointed in myself.

[-GAZKUL-]

Italy and Brazil both have games tomorrow, should be a good day.

The whole day? You must have taken a break for Doctor Who. You must have!

[miniPhil]

The whole day? You must have taken a break for Doctor Who. You must have!

Ah well there was no football on while the Doctor was on. I woke up round 12, got breakfast, watched Japan vs Holland, watched Australia vs Ghana, got some fresh air, eat dinner, watched the Doctor, watched Cameroon vs Denmark. I don't know what I'll do now. Maybe just drink beer and hang out in chat till I fall asleep.

[DOOM!]

Italy and Brazil both have games tomorrow, should be a good day.
Ii can't wait to hear the sound all over the place when those shanty queens beat the fonzies tomorrow. All that booooing and bawwwing....


Vuvuzelas...vuvuzelas.....those Africans and their vuvuzelas!
We were grocery shopping earlier and as soon as I mentioned "vuvuzela", my friends just wouldn't stop talking about it.

[Token Black Guy]

I missed most of the games, but i caught the Mexico VS. France game, and France got whooped in that game 2-0.

4chan had a feild day with these. /b/ was even /b/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz for awhile.

I don't follow, but I'm still amazed we tied with England.

I don't follow, but I'm still amazed we tied with England.


England have had a really hard time so far, two draws with opponents that they should have been able to beat fairly easily. I think their main mistake is leaving Peter Crouch off untill it is waaay too late, i mean he got them to the semis pretty much single handedly last time.

having said that the USA are a really good team and i hope they do well. As Scotland didn't qualify again i was supporting them in the england game.

[Wolfie Poo]

^-- This year, I was shocked to see that America is playing moderately well. In 2006, they were abysmal.

I've noticed that a lot of countries from South America are doing good. I'm rooting for Argentina to make it to the finals.

[Simon Phoenix]

USA!!!!!

but seriously........Brazil.

[lovelicious]

Missed all the matches until today. Go Italy and (of course) Denmark!

[wolfgirl90]

YEAH! USA! USA! USA USA! USA! USA! usa! usa...

[looks to left, looks to the right]

GO SAMURAI BLUE!!:laugh::laugh:

They need the cheering. I mean, yesterday, Japan lost to the Dutch. What the...:ninja:

England is clearly one of the main disappointment in this tournament so far, and so is Spain. I don't think it would have made much difference if Crouch was playing full time. They just didn't have that kind of game play fit to be called a formidable professional team. England's chances of getting into round of 16 is quite slim now. Really disappointing.

Now I'm rooting for Argentina. They played a pretty good game against South Korea. Nice passing, good teamwork, plenty of goal chances made, and Messi looks absolutely brilliant when he's with the ball. They might actually win this tournament.

[-GAZKUL-]

this is a great link to all things world cup related, they even show some of the matches.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2010/default.stm

anyway, well done USA and England

[miniPhil]

GHANA GHANA WIN THE WORLD CUP!!! Srsly bro.
Good game USA, better luck next time.

[.Lovebeat]

I followed the last FIFA World Cup, but not this year... I get all information from friends on Facebook anyway. |:

[-GAZKUL-]

USA lose to Ghana, bad luck. They played well and The USA should be proud of them. England v Germany today so COME ON ENGLAND. even us Scots should be supporting them.

[Gjallarhorn]

Came across this image regarding US/England. Seemed worth sharing, though a bit late.

Also, BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

[tenzo_groupie]

....australia's first and last win was against Serbia....(i didn't even watch any of the socceroos games)....didn't think theyd would actually win one....

[J Gundam]

It's been a very fun and drama-filled tournament so far. The juggernaut clashes are slowly falling into place and should be epic.

[-GAZKUL-]

Goooodnight England.

[miniPhil]

Goooodnight England.

Ah they were rubbish to begin with.

[Hina-chan]

I'm supporting South Korea! <3

[LOVE STUFF]

What a shame my team lost and out of the competition...oh well,for the next cup Japan will train better.

[Simon Phoenix]

brazil will win, or spain.

[Nanuq]

Yesss. I wanna see the Germany vs Argentina game

[Regiao Hyuhia]

Sadly, Brazil will probably take the whole thing. Brazil alone has won, like, half of all the World Cups. They really don't seem that good this year, but somehow always beat their opponents.


Except Portugal, of course. :D

On a slightly -LESS- related note: Does anyone else want a vuvzela? I want 3; One in the living room, one in my bedroom, and one in my car.

[Nanuq]

Portugal is good but not against a team like Argentina who I can see in the top like two. And don't get me wrong I like Cristiano Ronaldo but I think he can be such a drama queen

[Jordin Phantomhive]

I wanted USA to win but oh well...

[Alcmaeonid]

No. 5/19 ≠ 1/2

No. You deserve to be sent to the Sixth Circle of Hell (Heresy) for this offense.

[-GAZKUL-]

Argentina v Germany tomorow, clash of the titans

i like them, hopethey sell themin america

[Wolfie Poo]

I can't wait to see Argentina and Germany play against each other.

It's just like 06', except this time with some new players and coaches.

[Nanuq]

I can't believe Brasil lost. If Julio Cesar didn't bump into Melo then Netherlands wouldn't have gotten 2 goals =_=

[-GAZKUL-]

Africa is out out the world cup, Ghana lost 4-2 on penalties to Uruguay.

[miniPhil]

>mfw that handball

Ghana need a new sig now.
Also this seems like I'm never Ghana be able to use that pun again.

[-GAZKUL-]

Aaaaand Germany beat Argentina 4-0 in arguably the best played match of the world cup so far

[Alcmaeonid]

http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/1310/plan2jh7.jpg

The Germans are simply always a safe bet. By far the best team in the tournament so far.

[Jmosies]

I was hoping Ghana would win the whole thing so America would seem like a better team for losing to them :P

[TheThunderBringer]

Good freaking lord, I expected Argentina to win xD

[Hypatia]

I bet that Germany is going to win the world cup.

[-GAZKUL-]

I bet that Germany is going to win the world cup.

probably a safe bet there.

I think the Final will be Netherlands v either Germany or Spain. i give you a quote from the BBC's comentry of the game.

"With this level of play it doesn't matter which team wins, they would be put to the sword by Germans. Another 4-0 for them I reckon." when referring to the spain-paraguay game

[Capernicus]

I was hoping Argentina would win, just because I've always perceived it as a pretentious country. Also, I was hoping US would win so that we could piss off the entire world by collectively not giving a crap and making everyone else FINALLY call it soccer.

lol, sigged :laugh:

[miniPhil]

What I have noticed among US supporters:
'Lol we don't care about SOCCER , its a rubbish sport.'
*Draw with England*
'WOO! Go USA! I love football!'
*Get beaten by Ghana*
'Like I said, we don't care about SOCCER.'

Also Spain and Paraguay was awesome. Some seriously tense moments.

[nur_farahin]

i love world cup.but for 2010 argentina and brazil very disappoint me=(

[_-Anonymous-_]

these are the teams which i was supporting :
Brazil .Out
Argentina. Out
England. Out


.....omg TwT

[-GAZKUL-]

Come on Germany!!!!!!

[Simon Phoenix]

go spain.........

[miniPhil]

Spain sucks. Germany is a gunna win!

[Bou]

Rooting for Germany the whole way, but if they lose to Spain, I'll root for Spain! : )

[Capernicus]

You like pretentiousness?

No, I was just thinking it would be funny if they won. I wondered if they would be too civilized to holler uncontrollably in celebration.

[CrystalAce]

I was shocked to see how badly Argentina performed in the last match. But then Germany is indeed a tough nut to crack. Solid defending as well as attacking. Germany has a pretty good chance of winning this world cup. But I like to play with odds. I'll be now supporting Spain, the winner of the 2008 Euro cup which is hard to forget.

[-GAZKUL-]

see you in the 3rd place play off Germany, they were a great team and they really should have gone through. but the bottom line is that Spain were better, i hope they win.

[Snowscala_Xx]

I was cheering for France even without Zidan but, nonetheless they lost. Hopefully Germany will be able to win their 5th cup.

[Wolfie Poo]

I was cheering for Argentina, but that curse never seems to end between them and Germany.

Anyways, Germany lost and I'm happy that they're going home. No offense to those going for Germany. ;x

Go Spain, Go!

[Bulf]

Spain for the win? But I had to share my favorite moment of the world cup so far:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-jPrZyQu_E
I'm rooting for Spain mainly just because everyone else is going for netherlands, and so I can rub it in Amber's face. =D

[-GAZKUL-]

I hope spain win as i was supporting Germany and they will look better for loosing to the team that won the cup.

[MissCherry]

I love football and also the World Cup. I watch every match.
I supported my nation...Germany <3
But Spain kicked them out. Worse luck! :(
Anyway I'm proud on our team, because they hit England and Argentina, ones of the favourites.

[DOOM!]

3rd place goes to Germany. they can go home proud that they did as well as they did. Brazil 2014 will be their year for sure.

[miniPhil]

Spain 1-0 Netherlands.
USA WIN!
As for the match in question, well Morgan Freeman sums up my thoughts on the match as a whole.

Penalty kicks is the only thing that could have made that game even slightly interesting.
