OT: World Cup Begins

[jstewismybastardson]

Keita just had a volley attempt from a cross field pass that just barely missed the top corner ... amazing skill

 

[jstewismybastardson]

omg drogba holds up the ball in the corner on the goal line with 2 koreans surrounding them for a good 5 seconds, then nutmegs one and runs between both for a scoring opportunity

 

[jstewismybastardson]

another one hits post for ivory coast

 

[Destroydacre]

Portugal got most of their goals against Korea in the 2nd half. Just gotta keep pouring it on.

6th yellow card given in the brazil portugal game

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Home teams in hockey should play this video on the big screen when they're down by like 4 goals with 3 minutes left.

As for soccer, after several days of multiple teams vying for spots in the knockout round, we had a meaningless slate this morning. Yawwwn.

 

[mooger_35]

The next set of games is far from meaningless. There could be a 3 way tie at 6 points if Spain and Switzerland win.

 

[mooger_35]

nearly 30 minutes in and it's:

CHI 0:1 ESP
SUI 0:0 HON

if the scores hold Chile and Spain both go through with Spain being the #1 seed

 

[jstewismybastardson]

2- 0 spain now ... swiss win 1 - 0 and they are through

 

[mooger_35]

and a red card for Chile. Bad to worse.

 

[pixburgher66]

horrible red card. i thought they may card the dope from spain that nearly decapitated his teammates when he kicked the flag in celebration. i lol'd

 

[jstewismybastardson]

"Calm Hair" (aka tranquillo barnetta) with a glorious chance for the swiss and he passes off

 

[mooger_35]

Swiss need to win by 2 now if the Chile / Spain score holds.

 

[pixburgher66]

LOL at announcer saying "nice camera work" on the latin beauties in the stands.
