World Cup 2010

[Flipmo]

What a piece of shit match between Uruguay and France. Cisse should have been subbed in imo, the guy is a great player; agile, quick and a pretty good dribbler, unlike that homo Anelka.

Bobby, when Henry appealed the for that handball, I laughed out loud and thought of you. LOL.

Thank God S.A and Mexico were going for a win, the 2nd match it looked like a draw was all they were willing to fight for.

Forlan was dangerous, but he has to start passing more... I expected more from Suarez. Something tells me the players aren't completely comfortable with that ball yet, that or they have to recalibrate their feet. lol...

Anyways, predictions for tomorrow? I have to wake at 7am to watch it... lol

I predicted the right scores to Duke last night

Anyway, first game was good, Mexico play good football but they leave so many gaps at the back. Hernandez should start!

Onto France, Gourcuff needs to play more advanced, he had a bad season last season; looks like his bad form is still there. However the tactics France deploy are weird. I would've started Anelka and Gignac with Toulalon, Maloulda, Ribery and Gourcuff in midfield. Although Abou Diaby was decent.

or was he just massively overrated? because he made no impact at AC Milan either. we'll see as the tournament goes on though.

I've seen enough from that guy to see that the talent is there, if we go and check his seasons at Milan he was dropped when in form for Kaka, which is fair enough but the guy has incredible talent, I remember he scored for Milan in the CL and had an amazing game and Carlo Ancelotti was raving about how amazing he is, but then dropped him for the next month. He was mis-managed at Milan.

 

[Flipmo]

Gourcuff is dope, good awareness... he still has time too, he's what 23? Even Zidane didn't make much an impact at Bordeaux till he was what 26...27?

Milan have been mismanaging everyone this season, which is the reason why they've been so poor, among other things. Bah.

 

[Bobby Sands]

thats true and he did do some nice things in the first half.

i actually thought he was 26. my bad.

Even Kratos from God Of War should fear him. lol

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I hope South Korea win. But I think Greece will just physically bully them. 1-0 to Greece.

Argentina will win 1-0 or 2-1.

England will win 2-0 but USA will miss some easy chances. I'm looking at you Altidore.

 

[Duke]

lmao @ Kyrgiakos.

First match was better than the second. Second was frustrating to watch. I expected more from Suarez but Forlan was pretty selfish today.

And to be fair, yeah, Thuggy did predict it correctly

 

[Bobby Sands]

tomorrow ill go for:

South Korea 0 Greece 1
Argentina 4 Nigeria 1
USA 0 England 2

 

[Duke]

I'll go for this:

ROK 1 - 1 Greece
Argentina 3 - 1 Nigeria
USA 1 - 4 England

Side note: Should we maybe make a seperate prediction thread or is it more fun to keep it in here?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Just keep it in here faggot!!!

 

[Flipmo]

Rep. Korea 0 - 1 Greece
Argentina 2 - 0 Nigeria
USA 1 - 3 England

 

[Universal]

How much speed did Mexico have in the opening 20 minutes? They shouldve scored twice maybe 3 times with all the chances they had.

France played like shit. No suprise coming from a shit team.

Domenech: "A good match for a draw, my substitutions were good."

rofl ^

 

[Kobe]

Amusing comments by Domenech. Limited vocabulary perhaps?

Here's more on the vuvuzela. You thought they were annoying? Apparently, they weren't loud enough

Khune: Vuvuzelas weren't loud enough - ESPN Soccernet

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I don't mind them...

Anyway, Greece are fucking awful. I'm impressed with the bald headed fellow that plays for South Korea and also Park Chu Young, but its mainly because I have a lot of affection for him thanks to his God status in the older Pro Evolution Soccer games

 

[DJ Manny]

Rep. Korea 3 - 1 Greece
Argentina 6 - 0 Nigeria
USA 1 - 2 England

Comon Argentina

 

[DutchPac2]

Greece is really bad...nice substitute by Rehagel throwing another defender on. And their goalie is almost worse than Ghanas goalie.
