Hey folks, World Football Cup started

Thanks Scott!
I agree with you Nomade, too many cards but all deserved.
But the way we played even with one player less (twice) was really nerverecking for the Dutch and the referee alike.
The president of FIFA just told a tv reporter that the referee got a "yellow card" aswell.

Oh man, he should have a red card for let the portuguese play the time away. Oh what a pityfull team, can they even walk without falling down? Well, England will finish them off, I hope.

I'm watching the game now... Holland's surely good at using elbows and pushing etc - why on earth didn't Sneijder get a red card for that assault on a Portuguese player? I hate watching the dutch team play... oh the arrogance of players like Van Persie, Robben and Sneijder.

Compare that to a player like Ronaldinho - ten times as good and so humble; always enjoying the game, always having a good time and smiling...

edit: why on earth did Deco get that card? For "throwing" the ball away, while he was literally being thrown around himself by a Dutch player?!

Just for a little balance, Figo should have been red carded for the (little) head butt, no? 🙂

I used to have a TV set like yours, but I realised it was broken and threw it away... 😀

It really is interesting how our biases affect what we percieve. Like the other day at my son's Lacrosse game, a parent from the other team...

Wait until next Saturday, don't celebrate in advance. Remember 2004.

I'm by no means a rabid England supporter *but* this is the first world cup where I haven't had my heart in my mouth for most of the matches. So far England have progressed without really showing their hand. If our first choice players really start firing on all cylinders then maybe it's time to dream ( or lose to Germany on penalties. Again)
 
Greece is the word....

Are you talking about the guys that didn't qualify to this WorldCup? 😀
Just kidding.
I think everyone here agrees that this was an ugly game. I hope things are different next weekend.

Cheers.

Whatever, just please stay on your feet... Or should we change this tournament name to the official "lie down as fast as you can"? You play like little girls, which make me wonder how you get on this cup anyhow, from the ladies side?

Btw, to which team did you lose 4-2 in your homefield just before 2004 games? Haha!

Ah, the Italian way, yes, I understand.

Nothing like a little trash talking, won't we all be surprised when Ghana wins the whole thing!!!! :angel:
 
Well with about 12 hours to go before Australia plays Italy I am praying for a ref that:

1) Doesn't feel the motherly urge to over protect Australia's opponents from our supposedly evil "physical game" AND will penalise divers and time wasters.
2) Knows that hand balls aren't allowed...
3) Can count to two!!!

After the absolute crap run of refs we have had hopefully the big SEP in the sky can ensure that we get at least one decent ref.

PLEASE!!!

That is why everyone in England wanted Portugal to win.

We remember 2004. We WANT to play Portugal.

Both the dutch and the portuguese played disgusting. If the game was a bit longer, the two keepers would have remained the only two on the field. Quite a shame, to have such a "record", four red cards in one game.
It reminds me of why i don't like football.

Anyway, the dutch deserved to be out (sorry orange guys), and the portuguese deserve to start with a disadvantage.
Go Ghana Go!
😀

Guess I was hoping for too much, although at least he could count to two!
