The Official 2010 World Cup Thread

Hilarious to hear Ian Darke thrashing the Portuguese for cynical play.

i just got wind of Diego Sinagra having a trial at AFC Bournemouth. Imagen that!

This Gervinho fella has looked pretty damn good today.

Drogba warming up!!!!!!

Holy shit, best 15 minutes of the WC so far...

Wenger needs to sign this Gervinho kid.

hmm... well still too early to call on group of death. all eyes on brazil or north korea?

brazil scores less than 3 against north korea

There's plenty to support that prediction; namely, Dunga isn't here to score goals. He's here to show the world that Brazilians not only have flare, but they can play European football better than everybody else. Robinho is essentially the only archetypal samba player left on this squad.

To be honest, if that holds true, it's disappointing. This tournament has been dogged by cynical, lazy, "let's get a point" bullshit so far.

When Germany is the most exciting team at the World Cup, isn't that a sign of the apocalypse?

yeah but still... it's north korea.

and it's brazil.

FORZA KOREA DPR

bet it's a draw, wait for it

Poor North Korea, Brazilian ball sacks are just going to be dragged across their faces.

Crying for your anthem, isnt really good prep =)

korea player crying made my world cup i would love korea to win... remember rocky 4!

korea play in the style of a league 2 side.. hoof it long and hope for the best..brazil will play cocky and fuck up

holy fuck did you see that

brazil seems to be giving it all

Fantastic passion though, you really don't see enough of it

I heard Autechre are recording their next album at the moment, using only a single mic hidden in the ball ...

Todays games have again been a bit boring. Working now so missing the Brazil game.

Finally some excitement. If Brazil can't rack up a nice tally versus the lowest ranked team then there's no hope for this tournament.

DPR actually look pretty solid, very disciplined and confident

hah, Brazil are shit, too. This World Cup is going to be filled with mediocrity.

yawn

i'm officially supporting paraguay now. they are the most exciting team to watch.

For one set piece in heavy rain, they looked great, but in the entire second half, they were every bit as boring to watch as Portugal were today.

The DPRK organisation is seriously fascinating to watch

I concede, fully. That one image is better than anything to come from this world cup so far. Please re-post in the Nice Tits thread.
