I really wish you guys (the ones who are not normally into soccer) weren't watching this and instead were watching actually fun stuff with technical play - something like

I agree!

Haha. We only wish people could perform those 6 feet tall jumps.

Anyway, where the hell is Ronaldinho? I kept thinking last night that you could have done with his creativity. What was the reaction in Brazil when North Korea scored?

He wasn't called. He had been on the bench for quite some time under Dunga and he finally ditched him for the World Cup. My guess is that his drinking problems had something to do with it; same as with Adriano.

Haha, now I want to know what the Spaniards think.

I think we have only one member from Spain. They sure got creamed by the Cheesecakers

Uruguay and South Africa was actually a good game, guys. Really. Not because of the scoring, but because both teams attempted to create something. Wow, maybe this Cup can be saved.

If there's anyone here still watching the games, I have to say they're getting pretty awesome. Nigeria x Greece now is great.

holly shit we won :D:D

I'm not going to say we were lucky since one of their players got a red card (kicked out of the game and no one can replace him so the game was 11 of us against 10 of them) because what he did was really stupid. Trying to kick an opponent out of play is a definite red card. A professional athlete shouldn't make such a stupid mistake.


Well after the red card it was like our performance enhancing drugs finally kicked in and we ran like crazy, having a lot more chances for a goal than the final 2-1 will have you know.


So since Argentina has already qualified, you guys think there's a chance they'll just let us win?

France or Mexico?

France or Mexico?

rooting for france but probably mexico

south africa could be the first host nation in the history of the cup, that doesn't qualify to the next round.

They are in really bad shape after the game with Uruguay. Besides math wise they would have defeat France, and Mexico would have to lose to France and Uruguay for South Africa to make it which I doubt very much.
