The Official 2010 World Cup Thread

I could hear mexico's "puto" cheer when the oppsing goalie kicked the ball just fine, for instance.

Those horns used to be normal here, over time i guess people got bored of them i think... you still see them every now and then, i never knew how to blow them.

Slovenia killed the chances of my home team Northern Ireland qualifying, I hope England win (hopes about right), but I spend quite a lot of time near Slovenska Konjica and really enjoy travelling round the country, Bohinj is about one of the most beautiful places ive ever been to, so i hope they do well. So far so good =)

lol Italia

And now Gigi has peaced out

paraguay must be the worst strip in this competition. i thought slovenia (acid charlie brown) was bad but omg

Italy better pull this one out of the fire...

Poor showing. Anything of value to come from Italy will be a gift of the opposition (like the equalizer) because this is not a very good side.

Cannavaro looked very old, very slow, and appeared to have little or no form. Pirlo's replacement was just even though he did have Italy's best looking strike from distance. That's not saying much at all though...

Neither team deserved more than a point, but it would have been great to see Paraguay do something positive in the second half. Then again, they had a one goal advantage on the holders Italy, so being a bit cynical is understandable. A point for Paraguay, barring disaster, SHOULD guarantee they get out of the group.

all todays teams looked slightly bland. holland did indeed worry me for large parts of their game. japan and cameroon, who cares they're both going home after the group stages. itlay looked slow until the second half and paraguay had nothing to offer really.

still brazil tomorrow so fingers crossed for some fitbaw entertainment.

I am going to say now that this is shaping up very poorly as a World Cup and all my excitement is beginning to diminish.

Please, for the love of all that is fucking good and right in the world, let Brazil and Spain show up and do something of note.

germany looked quite interesting. once we get to game 2 and 3 then things will pick up.

i hope.

They did, but I maintain that they did all their damage against 10 Fat Women w/ Aussie accents and a German keeper born in Australia.

Mirezzi - you call loads of the players fat, what's up?

I was totally ready to come in with a big fucking "hah hah" and then paraguay had to go and fuck things up. Was santa cruz injured? Or were they just saving him? Either way, what a disappointing day of football, although Denmark were pleasant enough to watch.

Well, Fat Frank is the only nickname I've ever liked for Lampard, especially when playing for country.

And, let's be honest, Fat Women is a great way to describe Lucas Neill and the rest of the Aussie team after bending over for Germany.
