You meant SA 2 Mex 1

This. Mexico probably did not expect SA to give it such trouble. Great game though. Next!

Nice, picked the draw in my pool. I bet it's all downhill from here.

So long until Spain plays their first game.

I think it's just a chant. Shabalaba doesn't mean shit in Spanish.

They're probably referring to the SA goalscorer - Tshabalala

If SA decides to play longball the rest of the tourney they're not going very far.

Mexico wasn't ready for it, but the rest of the teams will be.

I expected Mexico to do better than they did. They played a shitty second half.

Yea SA generated more opportunities in the second half. But the long pass wont work as well against teams expecting it.

Yeah I know, but France looks ripe for a loss and Uruguay has some awesome firepower.

Empanada gallega...yum

 

[sdifox]

the fucking horns are back

 

[Zargon]

I am rooting for Uruguay

me too


This is my allegiance table for atleast this cup

USA
Sweeden\Denmark(my roots sorta)\CONCACAF(yes go mexico and....even honduras
Brazil(jealous because FIFA treats them like they are european I guess)
Spain(until they get to the cup, then its fun to see them lose, I'm mean I know) also been a Real Madrid fan for about 15 years, and it used to be their stars were spains stars
who ever is playing France, portugal, Italy(still annoyed at the match fixing, what can I say, and Zizi coulda used that cup in last appearance)

england I go back and forth on, but obviously am rooting against them for atleast the round of 32

 

[sdifox]

nice try by france

 

[KMFJD]

They really need to filter those damn horns out

 

[sdifox]

good chance for Uruguay.

 

[sdifox]
