2010 World Cup discussion

Dude, you sound worse than a Cowboys fan.

Im telling you. That sounds like MannOWar's brother or some shit.

What?

Once another team reaches 5 titles, let me know.

Performance this year wasn't too great, and meh @ Kaka's injury this past year.

Eagerly awaiting for 2014, though. Will definitely be there in Brasil for it, and really excited for it.

[Baleoce]

Next World Cup is going to be amazing just because it's in Brazil. Argentina now to win this year for me. But yeah, Brazil flopped today. Robben should dive less though, hate that so much.

[Plow]

If anything, I'm most surprised that Hollands 2 goals came from defensive cock-ups by Brazil. I was thinking it would be bullets from Robben/Schneider/VanPersie if they were going to score at all.

I thought it was beautiful how Brazil scored off their trademark up the gut creation, and Holland scored both by coming from the outside and putting the ball in the air in awkward positions in front of the goal.

Like I said, that was the final, and a pretty good one at that. Too bad Brazil got retarded and made it less of a game in the end.


Still some highly entertaining games to go, though. I'm wondering how much my picking the Dutch to win it all will bring me back from my retarded start in the bracket pickem.

Sounded more like a Lakers fan to me, but either way it works, lol.

You not mad?

Except the Lakers actually won.

Now excuse me while I vomit because I just said that.

[Plow]

Yeah but the lakers totally only won because of the refs and injury.

And the Celtics are still way ahead onn titles and finals record.

[Julian]

You not mad?

Only right after the game when people got in my face, then I told them to fuck off.

I'm ok now, you're not getting any rage out of me. :D

Also, Kaka is still my favorite player because he's hot, his skills were only the 2nd factors

[Not not Mattaru]

I'm ok now, you're not getting any rage out of me. :D

I guess one irrationally angry Brazil fan (not that I have anything against Brazil, but had been watching the Dutch a lot) will have to do me for today.

And yeah, at least next WC is in Brazil D:

[Julian]

Also, the World Cup is all about nationalism. I am Brasilian, and I am damn proud of it. Our team didn't do too well this year, but I'm still Brasilian, and I'll still be here cheering my heart out for my country.

[Kyo]

Now excuse me while I vomit because I just said that.

I hope that tasted like shit.

Who sounds like a "lakers fan" now? lolololol

[Necronus]

haha, I will now shamelessly exploit my being half dutch. awesome game.

I will now also be calling on my 1/8th Dutch and 1/8 German ancestry for the remainder of this tourney. I mean, I need SOME reason to keep watching. Go Holland! ... or ... something ... ::shrug::

(Best part of today will be harassing our Brazilian born linkshell member tonight)

[Rhyis.]

I got:
Uruguay over Ghana
Germany over Argentina
Brazil over Holland (This'll be tight. If anyone is going to stop Brazil this WC, NED has the best chance imo)
Spain over Paraguay

Then:
Brazil over Uruguay
Spain over Germany

Brazil over Spain for final.

Really wish I didn't jinx myself now... Now I'm down a bunch of green. -.-

[Jefe]

Damn, missed the game... will check the replay. Can't wait for who the fuck is next, Uru vs Gah?

[Zoolander]

lol makes me feel better, at least I'm 50% dutch >.>

Also, for the more political minded soccer fans, and people who are just into this kinda stuff, very interesting read about the French national team and how it is tied into French society's issues about race. Provides some interesting history as well.

http://www.foreignpolicy.com/article...andal?page=0,0

The recent uproar began after the entire French team refused to attend a training session following the expulsion of a teammate. The player in question, Nicolas Anelka, had shouted obscenities at the coach, Raymond Domenech, during the halftime of France's 0-2 pasting by Mexico on June 17. When the French media began calling this action a "strike" and a "mutiny," the escalation of the incident into a crisis took on a political dimension that is best explained as post-colonial drama, as indispensable black talent confronted the white authority figure whose job it was to keep them under control.

But after the mostly black French soccer team's defiance of its white leaders in South Africa, Le Pen's racist critique of multiracial sport has entered the French political mainstream with a vengeance. It was the French minister of health and sports, Roselyne Bachelot -- hardly a fringe figure -- who recently called the older players "gang leaders" who were tyrannizing "frightened boys" on the national squad. During the 1990s, it was only the French extreme right that ridiculed the idea that multiracial sport could facilitate racial integration in France. Now the derision directed against the indiscipline of a "black" team and the implicit failure of sport's integrative role in French society rains down from across the political spectrum.

Who sounds like a "lakers fan" now? lolololol
