[KeithTalent]

KT

Yeah I know, same result.

KT

he had 2 chances, which is worse than 1 foul and out.

 

[sdifox]

last chance

 

[sdifox]

stupid complaining... fucking idiot of a captain Uruguay has.

 

[sdifox]

well, that was anti-climatic

 

[sdifox]

so as of right now, Mexico and South Africa are ranked ahead of Uruguay and France :biggrin:

 

[KeithTalent]

Anyway, good result after having him sent off. Too bad though, was really hoping they would get the win.

KT

 

[yuchai]

Boring match overall.

 

[OCGuy]

Boring match overall.

I could have told you that before it started.

 

[Xcobra]

Gotta give it to Uruguay defense, France barely touched it.

Goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune insisted the South African public should shoulder some of the blame for the team’s 1-1 draw with Mexico at Soccer City for failing to provide enough noise and atmosphere to give Bafana Bafana a homefield advantage.

“We couldn’t hear the vuvuzelas,” said Khune, referring to the droning traditional horns that are set to provide a constant accompaniment to this tournament. “We expected to hear them and to be lifted by the people and the noise and the atmosphere.

Wow, is this guy deaf? All I could hear over the TV was that constant, annoying buzzing.

he is deaf in that frequency band because of the constant exposure.

Odds are currently running at 1.54/1 England win, 7.6/1 USA win, 4.5/1 draw... seems slightly more England-biased than I would put it... but maybe thet's just British pessimism...

Are american bookies offering anything different?

 

[daw123]

So how many Americans will be frequenting bars across the pond during tomorrow's game (or today's game in the UK)?

I don't know about Americans, but bars in Canada got exception to serve beer in the morning during World Cup :biggrin:

Especially the west coast ones, they are serving breakfast and beer

 

[sdifox]

I eagerly await British humiliation in the hands of the Amerikinskis (hopefully)

 

[sdifox]

I argue that EU should only be able to send one team :biggrin:

 

[sdifox]

The stands are a bit sparse in the South Korea - Greece game

 

[sdifox]

blow the whistle already what the hell are you waiting for?

 

[sdifox]

Hopefully Greece can beat up South Korea. I remember the blatant cheating in 2002

 

[sdifox]

so close yet so far

 

[sdifox]

this is turning into a very entertaining game

 

[sdifox]

It would be especially humiliating for South Korea if they become the first team to lose to Greece in World Cup Finals :biggrin:

 

[sdifox]

Nice goal for South Korea
