The Beautiful game World Cup Soccer begins june 11

[anon_vlad]

I think that it is very patronizing to state that the vuvuzelas are to be tolerated as they are a part of the African culture. The culture of the cradle of humanity is far richer than the playing of thousands of one-note instruments out of sync.

I suggest a quieter alternative. Instead of playing one, simply have "Moron" tatooed on your forehead. I hope that other soccer venues bar them in future or offer the "musicians" the option of having them shoved down their throats or up their asses.

Can't the commentators simply broadcast from sound-proof booths? Can't their noise can't be somehow be blocked during the telecasts?

Carlos Alberto Torres, former captain of the glorious Brazilian winning team in the 1970 WC, said that he was not impressed so far by the Brazilian team of Dunga. According to Torres he won't be surprized if the Brazilian team loose against the Netherlands.

We'll se it tomorrow....

Is it me but it seems that soccer attracts more beautiful women (to the exception of F1 maybe) than any other professional sports? As far as I remember I never saw a cuty at a hockey game...

Here's a link to a Spanish site with other beauties (including the very suave Larissa Riquelme)

Pele is getting an old sick bitter man.... His time have been finished 30 years ago...
Pele it's time to look after your gran gran children and let players and coaches from nowdays to play...
Having been a good player in the middle of the previous century does not give him the right to flame everyone in this century ! lol

Maybe one day the Canadian called Peter Montopoli a very powerfull man working at Fifa who is in South Africa , the man who Three years ago, he organized the Under-20 World Cup in Canada. It was the most successful edition of that soccer tournament ever staged, with record attendance and sponsorship dollars,just maybe he will bring the beautiful big World Cup games here to Canada, Fifa has been watching carefully and impressed at Canada and how soccer fans in Canada have gone crazy for soccer, after amazing attendance for big games like 50,000 for Impact CONCACAF game and the 48,000 for AC Milan and Impact game plus super attendance for under-20 world cup in Canada....Please Peter Montopoli bring the beautifull game to Canada ....yes yes yes

Well, Brazil is out !!! lol
Hopefully I did not bet....

Total breakdown by brazil in the 2nd half

off with Dunga's head!

 

[protagoras]

It's a shame. The Brazilian team was uninspired in the 2nd half.

The Dutch team was better this time. Well Brazil is out. I'm gonna take Argentina.

I realize to my great dismay that the word « dung » is a part of the name Dunga!

Ok! That's enough: after Kaka, El ano, now the dung...no wonder they played like shit|!

(Just a linguistic note : Kaka doesn't mean « pooh » in Portuguese. The word to designate « pooh » is « cocô »)

Ghana deserves to win because of the last minute goal stoped by the hand by Suarez.... The ref should be able to validate the goal in this case. Giving a penalty does not compensate the goal !!! We had the proof today...

Tell me guys, if such a situation happens in hockey or football, I think that the ref will validate the goal (hockey) or touch down (football), isn't it ?

I watch the WC since 1966 and this year is maybe the worst of them all in terms of errors and unfair decisions. I agree with ghn1575 even if I'm glad to see Uruguay going to the next round. But between you and me Gyan missed an easy penalty shot, isnt he? He is the only one to blam on this one. And on the other hand Muslera was a better goalkeeper than his Ghanean counterpart (Kinson).

I'm waiting for the comedy shows that will be aired on Brazilian TV this evening because I'm sure the're will making fun of DUNG-a and the inglorious players.

Have fun... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3ZFRjFM-KY&feature=related

The Netherlands fustrated the Brazilians, Ghana 2 stepped their shots against Uraguay and that`s the way the ball bounces ...congrats to the NEDS AND URAGUAY...welcome to the world cup

 

[johnmbot]

I'm gonna take Argentina.

"nein nein nein nein (nein nein nein)"

 

[protagoras]

Wow. I'm speechless.

Like the Brazilian team the team from Argentina looked on the field like a group of little boys in front of the Germans. I don't know what to expect from the rest of the WC. Uruguay and Paraguay are the only teams left from South America This time I'll go with Paraguay (even if I know that this is totally insame). Well maybe I suffer from akrasia.

I'll vote for Paraguay only to see Larissa Riquelme one more time. Lol

Oh by the way, DUNG-a resigned...

I have problems with the German team. I don't know maybe I'm too nostalgic and I still dream of the team they had in the 70's with Die Bomber (Gerd Müller) and Beckenbauer.

Reading the Brazilian newspapers this morning, I saw a picture of Felipe Melo arriving at Cumbica (Guarulhos Internation Airport in São Paulo). The Brazilians soccer fans (torcedores) are mad against him because they credited him the defeat of the seleção. . As you can see in this picture he was escorted by well armed guards to prevent any assault on him.

On the other hand, Dunga took the plane to Rio Grande do Sul (where he lives). Unfortunately because of overcloud sky he wasn't able to land there. He had to stop at Florianopolis.

Well, all errors were balanced now with Uruguay out.
Next thing would be to have Germany out even though they are very good to balance it off.

 

[ghn1575]

I resigned from doing any pronostic... I suck ! lol

 

[JH Fan]

Hey hey ! Germany out !
Everything's balanced now.

That's another one in my pocket !

Muchas Gracias !
