Hey folks, World Football Cup started

[Tim]

That's gotta suck.......

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

What shameful flagrant bias from the referee. Australia did not deserve that.

 

[akalai]

It's just not cricket!

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

won't we all be surprised when Ghana wins the whole thing!!!! :angel:

I did'n say nuthin' -- The referees are supoib.

 

[darkkavenger]

maybe my intense prayers, sign of the cross & kissing my baptism medal with jesus on it helped the italy... not sure.. but maybe other millions were doing just like me in this moment *giggles*

Would Jesus have dived? :angel:

 

[physiognomy]

All I have to say is BULL SH*T ! ! ! I give that guy a 10 for his form & another 10 for the entry... Nice dive buddy!

Peter

- sorry, still haven't calmed down...

 

[Andy K]

Would Jesus have dived? :angel:

I have heard it said that 'Jesus saves'...

... but Rooney nets it on the rebound!

 

[Socke]

No football for me today, five M*A*S*H episodes in a row in TV tonight

 

[tkluck]

World Cup? does that mean there'll be another Three Tennors concert?

 

[darkkavenger]

who knows if he dives or saves or hears whatever the supporters say... but Totti was fabulous!

 

[fgianni]

I am not sure it was a dive, It looked to me that his left leg made some contact with the defender's back, but I guess we'll see pretty soon anyway.

 

[nomade]

It was not a dive, and i don't think that Australia was that good to deserve to win this game anyway...

GO GHANA

 

[fgianni]

I am under the same impression, but sice I am italian I am probably biased.

However as I said we will see soon, since if TV evidence is enough to prove that it was a dive the guy is going to get a long ban under new FIFA guidelines, even if the referee did not see the dive.

 

[rxmd]

Poor Switzerland. Losing 0:x on penalties is quite an anti-achievement.

 

[rool]

Donde esta espana?! he he

Ouais! Allez les bleus!!!

 

[rover]

The good news, I picked 7 of the final 8 correctly.

The bad news, I picked Spain to win the whole thing.

Sounded like France was dominating today and that Ghana carried the play, but Brazil made the plays.

I too picked Spain to win the world cup, during the initial stages it really looked good!
Oh well, now I pick Germany as the most likely winner (hoping to get it wrong)

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

The way things are going, it's Italy vs. Brazil.

But if things shape up, it'll be Germany vs. Brazil.

Well, I was so surprised by the France win, that I'm holding my bet when Brazil and France meet (la revancha!)

A todos mis amigos de España: lo siento mucho. Me hubiera alegrado mucho verlos avanzar.

Ok I am prepared to admit that Grossi did accentuate the foul, but I am still convinced that sprawling yourself in front of a player to try and stop him from reaching the goal is a foul.

Exactly. I thought it was a penalty. The ref was about 3 yards away and there was no hesitation in his decision.

Didn't see either of today's games (yet) but I'm kind of surprised Spain are out. So I see we are still on for an Argentina - Brazil final...
