The World Cup Thread

too long a day at work....missed all the fußball. so what happened to France, thought they would at least score 1 kill...............nada !

 

Mathematically France still has a chance to advance to the Round of 16 .
WoW Greece got lucky today, that Red Card was justified as questionable calls by the Ref.

On Spain TV NetWork, Prima Donna Golden boy Torres gave his explanation for Spain's Embarrassing Lose in the "Group Of Death" He felt the Swiss played to Hard for a first game, and the Ref. Allowed to much freedom to the Swiss when cards should of been handed out as the bad luck Goal.

First the bad luck Goal looked more like a slow moving train wreck, and a bad move by Spain's Goaltender Casillas paying to much attention and thinking with the wrong Head, To a WOMAN! the root of all Evil.

The blame in Spain falls mainly on the flame.

Behind every great athlete stands a woman . . . being blamed for everything he does wrong.

For the second time during this World Cup, a fetching young woman is being called out after her boyfriend loused things up on the field.

Spaniard, please! Stop copy/pasting news articles! Last warning for this thread! No articles - DISCUSSION!

The Red Card was certainly not questionable - the player clearly kicked the guy in the thigh (level of hurt does not matter, its still against the rules). He deservedly got sent off for such a boneheaded move.

 

Man that France vs Mexico game was brutal.

My condolences Skip.

 

Yes Ignored You! Say What, I can Copy and Paste what I want as long As I'm Not in Violation Of NOOOOOOOOOOOooo Posting Rules, this is world cup Soccer and is part of the Thread. I can copy and Paste any News articles that concerns the World Cup, and discuss It Or do you make New rules? You might be the OP but that gives you noo Right to act in the matter you're addressing me or telling me what I should Do. I want you to post like this I don't what this, No Links no News articles????? Sounds Like fascist Communist Control.

And your Warning Me Or what????

Can A MOD make some kind of sense in His Logic The Thread is about World Cup Soccer I copied and pasted Part of Controversy concerning Spain in a Soccer Game, Plus I gave my point of View on the Games Today and the News article in question.

OR I'll make My own World Cup thread and Anybody can post what they want and how they want.

I think someone is Taking things a Little to serious what next I can't do on your Thread???


Can A MOD Give a Ruling on this????

Well I see Skipper Posted a Picture and no Source, why don't you tell him the same thing as you told Me. LOL

 

We are talking about world cup stuff, so that means we are within prescribed parameters of said thread. Just because we don't jump on the same kickball uber alles bandwagon and strive to keep it sort of civil doesn't mean we can't post here. That is until the mods say we can't anyway. Besides, judging from the responses, it is about 97 - 1 pro-kickball here, so the few anti-kickballers who post here shouldn't be that big of a deal to you people.

However, I do respect your position and love for the game though, no matter how lame I think it is. Enjoy!

 

Spaniard since you want logic you'll get some:

1) if Mussolini does not wish copied pasted articles in his thread , what's the point in getting him angry by pasting, your dicussion alone would just be fine ?
2) If you want ot create your own thread with pasted articles incuded , go ahead you are free to do so.
3)Don't get me involved in you discussion , it's a very bad idea, especially if you spray false information: my picture has two printed sources in the lower angles

 

So....does that mean we can still heckle the kickball?..........word on the street is that Bobby snores and I would prefer not to have him as a cellie.....just asking

 

By all means , who said you couldn't and I suggest we go back to the topic .

My pronostics about France were right, they didn't show an ounce of reactivity and deserved their 0-2 vs Mexico. Their attitude is absolutely unforgivable.

 

Since the philosophical aspects of respectful anti-kickball hooliganism has sort of been put aside for now, I have to ask....why did the Mexicans play France so hard? Was it because of their resentment over the French occupation of Mexico during the 1860s, when the US couldn't enforce the Monroe Doctrine due to it's pre-occupation with the American Civil War? Or was it because the French were just being....French?

And I prefer solitary confinement to general population....

 

I think that everytime the Mexico team shouted Da Goal the French thought they were saying Degaul and paused to salute or tried to kiss someone.

 

No Christmas cards for you again....

 

The Mexicans did not play hard , they played normal, nor do they have any historical resentment , the French were absent . I don' t think any of these guys have any idea of what happened under the II French Empire. Kicking the ball makes feet smart , not the brains

 

Having brains in their feet must be a good thing then. That explains why they head north all the time....

 

david james gets the vote.. for england...

my predictions...

Germany 2-0 Serbia
Slovenia 1-3 USA
England 4-0 Algeria

 

My predictions :
Slovenia USA 1-1
Germany Serbia 2-1
England Algeria 1-1

 

England Algeria 1-1 ...Ye of little faith, skipper...

 

Spaniard - I have already asked you TWICE in this thread alone not to copy/paste articles. Sure, I could make 10000 posts every day copy/pasting all the World Cup Articles alone that I read online. It doesn't contribute to this forum at all, doing such a thing. As I stated in my OP, this is for DISCUSSION, not Copy/Pasting articles. IF you wish to Copy/Paste articles, by all means go ahead and do so in your OWN thread. I have created this thread for Discussion, and that is that. Is that too hard for your thick skull to comprehend?


Some interesting predictions again lads. Slovenia (at least one of their players) has come out and said that they will beat the USA - think this will add some fuel to the fire, or is just talking-the-talk?

One would think the English would Algeria (afterall, they bother share one thing in common - blundering goalies) but I think Skippers prediction is closer to the real mark vs. Snipers prediction (you're that confidant with English goalkeeping, sniper? )

Germany against Serbia....Germany will certainly win. It could quite possible be a goal fest for them - like against Australia - or it could be a low scoring affair. I favor Germany for a 1 - 0 win.

Only 20 or so minutes until the first game of the day. Lets hope for some good play and entertaining games!

 

The Times said that IKER (Spain's goalkeeper) was distracted with Sara. Wouldn't you?




It's just a PLAY.

 

(you're that confidant with English goalkeeping, sniper? ) no worries matt, james in goal.. rooney hat trick..confidence or what..
