I'm sooo happy that Spain scored first.

I'd hate to see Portugal steal the victory with a single counter-attack/free-kick/corner. It's time for the Portuguese to come out and play.

!@#$%! 06.29.2010 03:25 PM

fuck, i wanted portugal to win. actually, it's more like i wanted spain to lose, even though they were much better and deserved to win. eduardo was the hero that saved portugal from a massacre. i hope paraguay beats them, though the odds are long.

I agree completely.. I don't necessarily like Portugal at all, but then again I can't fucking stand espania! However, it was obvious that Espania dominated them in this match and definitely outplayed them..
what an opposite compared to this morning with Japon, where was the ref? It was wilder than an Eastcoast NBA game, pure pushing, shoving, grabbing, holding etc etc... but at least the ref let it keep going unlike that damn momentum breaking ref earlier, shit that game never even really got started!

I definitely think Portugal was the dirtiest team in the tournament. I'm glad to see them out of it. I sure hope to see Spain vs. Brazil and Argentina vs. Uruguay but that's miles away and anything can happen as I've learned. I sure am going to be sorry when it's all over...

Yeah, while it's hardly a certainty, a Brazil - Argentina final is looking increasingly likely. Spain seem too reliant on David Villa while both Holland and Germany seem a bit shakey at the back. Uruguay look good but haven't been tested yet against a really strong side, and i don't think even Ghana themselves expect them to go any further than the quarter finals.

From what I've seen so far, it's very much Brazil's to lose now.

And as for being sorry when it's all over, I'm depressed we're gonna have a three day break before then next game! One of the best World Cups I can remember.

i been expecting it to be argentina contra brasil however.. lately I been thinkin, if Germany brings the fire they got a chance to knock out argentina! Spain doesn't stand a chance against Brasil, well a bit of a fight, but hardly likely a win, Paraguay of course, but Brasil? Ghana can't bring it against Germany, they tried, at least they made it farther than any African team since Senegal in 1990..

Brazil is a sure bet to knock out the Netherlands, and Argentina will surely take out Uruguay, but Germany might just be able to stop em from reaching the Final.. at the very least, they probably takin third fo sho..

fuck it, I'm happy that all the other Eurotrash teams are out, peace out France, Peace Out Italy, Peace Out England, Peace out Portugal, soon to be Peace out Spain. Fuck it, I like the Netherlands, but in reality, its gonna Peace out Oranjes..

Its the Americas cup, but I hope the next round is a bit more exciting then this last one, aside from the US game, the South Korea match and this last Spain/Portugal this round has been rather boring..

greece sucks

england is first and foremost disappointing because crouchy ain't doing the robot.

the best part of the world cup is when they get slightly hurt and lay there covering their faces with their hands like THE PAAAIN OHHH THE PAIN, they should take some acting lessons

my work life is really welcoming this break. the games have usually been 8-10am, 12:30-2:30pm. how's that for a work schedule? even if i'm free to work evenings, i don't wanna, on account of having woken up early for the morning games. hence, nothing got done.

you could watch this in the meantime-- i did last night

http://www.footytube.com/video/most-...-moments-48673

eh, it's skewed towards british/irish participation, and mostly features the last 20 years (i can't believe there weren't as many "shocking" moments in the 60s/70s/80s), but it's kinda funny-- you've probably seen it already though. poor peter crouch.

ps- "don't come home too soon"-- ha ha ha ha ha ha

!@#$%! 06.30.2010 01:46 PM

Favourite Team: any team from the americas except for honduras (cmon, nice try, but see if you'd qualify in conmebol)

Most Annoying Team: greece

Most Disappointing Team: france + italy. how the mighty fall.

Surprise Team: japan-- who would have thought?

Favourite Player: robinho, elano (not due to name).

Most Annoying Player: koman coulibaly (mali) playing for slovenia

Most Disappointing Player: herculez gomez. did nothing. ever.

Favourite Moment: usa goal in supplementary time vs. algeria

Worst Moment: final whistle of usa/ghana game

Most Controversial Moment: most controversial + underrated (the others everyone knows about): yellow + red card fouls on jozy altidore didn't even get a peep from ref on ghana game. first foul left him limping early (yellow), 2nd foul cut him at the shin on the edge of the penalty area (red). fucking cockbags.

the ikara cult 06.30.2010 03:43 PM

Favourite Team: Chile. Ive met a Chilean friend in the last year and he's been well excited about them, and rightly so, theyve been great value.

Most Annoying Team: Portugal

Most Disappointing Team: England

Surprise Team: Chile, I didnt know enough about them

Favourite Player: Coentrao of Portugal, a diamond in the rough

Most Controversial Moment: Kaka being sent off (If he hadnt have been, he might have played in the next group game against Portugal, and Ivory coast might have got through... maybe not, but it was still controversial)
