OT: World Cup Begins

[puckhead]

~ spoilers ~ incase anyone is going to watch these games back-to-back this morning






Well, this takes the pressure off of watching the Mex-Uru game (destined for a draw).
France is down 1-0 to S.A. early, and down to 10 men. Goodnight Irene. what a trainwreck.

Not so fast. Uruguay takes a 1-0 lead right before half and with South Africa's 2 goals, the goal differential between Mexico and South Africa is down to 2. This could get very interesting.

That goal by France should just about do it. Uruguay and Mexico will advance. It got exciting though, can't complain about that.

yeah, to their credit, both of these teams have actually been playing to win

yup ... I called tied all the way but I underestimated the extreme desire on both teams part to avoid Argentina in the QFs

Quite the drama today. Nigeria lost their first two games and was down in this match with only 20 mins. to go. Somehow they have a chance to move on if Arg. holds and they can score one more here. Craziness.

what a rocket by Messi. smack off the face of the bar.
still 1-0, but it sure had the crowd buzzing (sorry) for a while there.

edit.... there we go. some dude knocks in a Messi rebound, 2-0

 

[ritari330]

the 38 year old (maybe 36, can't remember) Argintine scores to make it 2-0

Holy shit, did Domenech really refuse to shake the hand of the South African coach?
that clown can't disappear fast enough.

In honour of this, France was somehow awarded host status for UEFA 2016

Michel Platini must have compromising pictures of Sepp Blatter...

Goodbye France. Please, let the door hit you on the way out. Hard.

Hopefully it's the three toothless kittens that go home tomorrow....although if they move on I won't be that upset. Cakewalk group and bracket kind of forced me to pick them to make the top eight. Still, would be funny if they didn't even escape that "Group of Life".

What UK newspaper was it that had the headline the day after the world cup group draw ... EASY! ( E ngland, A lgeria, S lovenia, Y anks)

well done douchebags

65% of the EPL is foreign players ... and they expect greatness???

 

[pixburgher66]

okay...so what's the scenario for the good ol' us of a?? win and in i get...but the E**N scroll bar was moving wayyy to quickly for me to pick up on.

 

[elocomotive]

Yes, win and in for the U.S. They can also tie and get in if England ties and doesn't score a lot of goals. For the sake of the next round though, they need to win a game.

 

[pixburgher66]

OK USA...let's not do that again. Goodness. Tight match so far.

 

[beantownmaniac]

I'll watch the USA game because it's my country, but I have to say, soccer is the most boring sport
