World Cup 2010

[Flipmo]

Yay, Llorente made the cut! Great forward

I've been trying to figure out how Spain will line up; its pretty difficult. One up front with 5 in the middle? So Villa will most likely lead the line. They could field two strong sides.

Lloris complaining about that ball. perhaps its too difficult for Henry to handle it.

seriously though, FIFA might as well just start using a fucking beach ball. these modern footballs are terrible. they swerve and blow all over the place. I miss the old Adidas footballs from the 90's. I remember i had the WC 94, Euro 96, and France 98 ones. they were all similar but the pattern had a different colour. they were much heavier.

I don't expect that much from Portugal. They'll do fine against lesser teams but not enough allround quality to beat the big boys. Although one should never exclude the sardine munchers from creating an upset...

You're from Holland, I can see why you're not sold on Portugal. Much like I'm not sold on Holland. We'll play eachother again though with 20 yellow and reds cards handed to both teams and with Portugal winning again.

Apologies if this has been posted before. Love the ad.

Portugal is alright. I just think they don't have the allround quality this year.

And of course I would lynch Liedson myself given the chance.

because Portugal are a dirty pack of cheats perhaps?

hope they go home early. horrible team.

That faggot Howard Webb will be reffing the final for the World Cup, or at least he's being tipped for it.

How the fuck did he get that privilege? He's utter shit. Rosetti would have been a better choice even.

 

[Sebastian]

You mean the champions league final?

Yeah, dont like the decision. But Rosetti cant be the referee since hes an italian

 

[Flipmo]

No apparently, he's in the lead to ref the World Cup final also. I can't find the source now, it was late last night. It's not official obviously, but it seems to be a strong rumor. Either way, he sucks, and he's gonna ruin the CL final.

LOL @ Rosetti

 

[Duke]

They should let the bloke from the Seychelles ref the final

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Wheres the Indian refs?

 

[hizzle?]

They're late.

 

[Duke]

Had to thank ogi for that, lol.

Mention of Indian refs makes me so hungry for indian food.

 

[Bobby Sands]

England beat Mexico 3-1. England are so meh. nothing special whatsover

Argentina won 5-0 against Canada. Maxi got 2 goals but had to go off injured. hope he isnt out for the tournament.

 

[Bobby Sands]

i dont watch many england games on ITV but they'd absolutely sicken you. The shite they go on with.

 

[Flipmo]

lol Canada.

So, Portugal played Cape Verde today in a friendly that finished 0 - 0 ... so I looked into it, and noticed many of Portugal's players are born there, but opted for the Portuguese jersey.

Here's some players who could have played for Cape Verde.

* Eliseu Pereira dos Santos - S.S. Lazio
* Nani - Manchester United
* Ricardo Faty - A.S. Roma
* Jacques Faty - FC Sochaux-Montbéliard
* Manuel Fernandes - Valencia CF
* Gelson Fernandes - Saint-Étienne
* Henrik Larsson - Retired, now Manager for Landskrona BoIS
* Rolando - FC Porto
* Bobbie Friberg da Cruz - Kongsvinger
* David Mendes da Silva - AZ Alkmaar
* Valmiro Lopes Rocha - RCD Espanyol
* Nélson Marcos - Real Betis
* Miguel Monteiro - Valencia CF
* Celestino - Belenenses
* Helton Dos Reis - AS Saint-Étienne
* Silvestre Varela - FC Porto
* Freddy dos Santos - Vålerenga

Those are some great players there who chose to play for other countries. Wonder how they'd fare (Cape Verde) with a team like that... They apparently have a lot of talent as a nation, but have been very unlucky in African qualifications as of late, not to mention much of their talent jump shit and head off to Portugal.

 

[Duke]

Well, "play for other countries", at least Larsson and Mendes Da Silva were born in Sweden and Nethies respectively.
