Italy 3 USA 1

3 nice goals from Italy.

 

[hizzle?]

Is there anyone in these stands...

WC2010 will be such a bust...

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Well according to Goal.com one of the reasons there is no fans is because the area they are in, don't really care about football. Unless South Africa play.

 

[hizzle?]

Giving a WC to Africa was not a bad idea. Giving it to SA was stupid.

They will be the Austria of the WC.

 

[hizzle?]

Then again, the other African countries are total dumpholes and giving it to one of the Maghreb countries would mean tons of suicide bombers emerging from their caves.

Its going to be one ugly ass World Cup. I'm sure if it went to Morocco or Tunisia, it would be much better. Even if it's violent there, they love their footy.

 

[Scoobyffc]

the problem is
cricket and hugby are the high society sports, football is the number 1 sport for poor people

the tickets are fucking expensive, no surprise you see arenas 50% empty



btw
nice goal by kaka today...and italy too 3 nice goals

 

[hizzle?]

Rossi is from New Jersey lol.

 

[Bobby Sands]

whatever about the small attendances, those horn things are wrecking my head. If there was someone beside me at a game blowing into one of them from start to finish, id take it off them and shove it up their hole.

 

[Scoobyffc]

^^ lol
thats true
so fucking annoying

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

True those horn things are annoying. It's just a constant horn..no song or anything..just a horn.

 

[Flipmo]

Rossi is from New Jersey lol.

Italian enough if you ask Tony Soprano.

Hey Bobby! You will like this.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter told a media briefing he was aware of complaints the din of the instrument was drowning out the commentary of broadcasters and that they wanted it banned at this tournament and next year's World Cup in South Africa.

Blatter said football's governing body would discuss the matter with the organisers.

"It's a local sound and I don't know how it is possible to stop it," he said. "I always said that when we go to South Africa, it is Africa. It's not western Europe.

"It's noisy, it's energy, rhythm, music, dance, drums. This is Africa. We have to adapt a little."

Vuvuzelas, which have been given away free to fans, are a constant background to Confederations Cup games.

Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso said: "I think they should be banned. They make it very difficult for the players to communicate with each other and to concentrate.

"They are a distraction and do nothing for the atmosphere," he added after his team's 1-0 win over Iraq.

FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke said last year the vuvuzela would not be banned unless it was used as a weapon by fighting fans.

Well if the players are not happy with it then it has to be banned full stop.

There was a great atmosphere at last night's game between South Africa and New Zealand. You couldnt hear those horns as much because the supporters were singing. i like Drums though. they would be better.

Egypte leading Italy by 1-0

 

[Bobby Sands]

Can the Italians ever take their beating? it was the same when Ireland drew with them. i hope we beat them in Dublin and we have a good chance i reckon.
