World Cup 2010

^^yea id say the same but then there is the Capello factor. I think England should make the quarters or semis but nothing more.

USA will be a tricky match in the group. i dont know much about Slovenia but they were able to knock out Russia so they cant be bad. England should beat Algeria comfottably though.

 

[Flipmo]

I hope Slovenia become the slap-child of the World Cup.

I wonder what the North Korean propaganda machine will make of their little group of death, lol.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

USA will be tough for England, theyre a hard working team.

 

[Duke]

Aussies and USA are very hard workers. They could create a little upset here or there.

 

[Flipmo]

Imagine the USA wins the WC. I'd hang myself with bed sheets.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^they werent far off in 2002.

2002 was a farce of a tournament though.

 

[Flipmo]

2002 was an ass tournament, but still imagine if they did win it. That would mean that they've won a freaking tournament before the Dutch... as many as England, etc ...

Craziness.

 

[Bobby Sands]

hold on USA only made the quarters finals in 2002 right. It was South Korea and Turkey in the semis. i was thinking that USA made the semis.

 

[Flipmo]

Yeah, in 2002 they made it to the quarters. They lost to Germany, 1 - 0 ... Ballack the only scorer.

USA had a somewhat easy opponent in the round 16... was Mexico I think.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Imagine if South Korea won it. Italy and SPain were robbed when they played them.

 

[Flipmo]

That would be sickening, and I'm sure people would ask for a review or something. They let those basterds get away with everything.

 

[Flipmo]

Is anyone going to be joining a World Cup fantasy football group? If so, which one. I know I'll be joining the FIFA.com one which starts June 4th for team seletions. We should have another group

So far no one is happy with the WC "Jabulani" ball. Especially keepers hate it but fieldplayers have also been criticizing it.

It's one of the aspects I so hate about football these days. Fucking total commercialization. New ball for every tournament and the damn thing seems to get worse every fucking 2 years. It DEFINITELY won't help the standard of play. They should just toss a Derbystar on the pitch.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^they make it lighter because they want to see more goals.

its a joke. they might as well play with a beach ball.

remember the balls they had at USA 94 and France 98?. they were proper footballs.

 

[Duke]

VDV said it could pay off to just hammer it from 50 yards out. Fuck knows what that ball is gonna do.

 

[Flipmo]

Yeah, I've been hearing the same complaints. Lloris was pretty vocal at how the thing is no different from a beachball. He was like really shitting on it lol...

France 98's ball was great. Things started going really downhill in 2002, I think that's when the first real complaints about footballs started coming in.

 

[Flipmo]

Adriano claims it was paintball guns. lol. I don't recall paintball guns having clips like that.

 

[Duke]

Adriano = Waste of talent.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Adriano..lmfao.

The guy is a fucking waste though, I had a lot of admiration of his talent once upon a time, his goal record at every level is immense but hes a total faggot. I hope at Roma he FINALLY fufills his talent.

FUCK WIT
