  Ian Darke is awesome! That was a great last 30 seconds of just ripping into the souls of the Portuguese players lol. Earlier when he was letting the referee have it was fantastic commentary as well.

  Ronaldo is a douche!

  
  I dont think so. In fact it looked like he pulled up cause he couldnt get anywhere close to it. We will find out soon during these highlights.

  yeah, he is growing on me...yesterday during the cameroon game, he was going on for a few minutes about some backstory and it was just awesome haha...although derek rae still holds the top spot for me

  Yeah, the Ronaldo shot wasnt touched. Just right off the post.

  Derek Rae is the best, he spends hours practicing the names of the players he doesnt know to nail the pronunciation. He says he cant stand when people pronounce players names wrong just because they have different ways of speech in their countries. THAT is awesome, imo.
• Laley23

  

  From his wiki page. I remember the interview with him where he said he is particular about pronunciation. Here is the source....(well its sources within wiki): "He is so particular about pronouncing a player's name correctly that he has been known to call consulates to confirm the pronunciation."

  Man do these refs love Ronaldo
• karen lotz

  

  WTF that dude was holding his head there? He was barely tapped on the shoulder and he acts like he took a toe from Lou Groza to the top of his head.
• Fab1b

  

  I was dying laughing, the shoe hit his forearm and he was trying to sell it as a head kick. However the ref didn't buy it but if it was Ronaldo there would have been a penalty kick!
• karen lotz

  

  very true...
• Fab1b

  

  I just like making fun of Ronaldo because he has that reputation and I think all the ladies love him too
• karen lotz

  

  Your girl Kim is apparently smitten with him
• Fab1b

  

  Yum Kim

  Man Ivory Coast had an opportunity there
• Fab1b

  

  Best action of the game right here
• karen lotz

  

  yes, finally the magic spray
• Fab1b

  

  They got the magic spray out, heavy coating of it or according to the announcer they didn't use enough LOL
• Fab1b

  

  0-0 draw

  LMAO.......you of all people have NO room to talk when it comes to credibility, fucking hysterical!
  
  Again, you have no clue what you're talking about, this is a typical Italian start to a World Cup (which I said would probably happen before this tournament started, even with the easy draw). If you can't look at past history (which tends to repeat itself) then YOU shouldn't be talking sports at all!
• Fab1b

  

  Rock really they won it 4 years ago, sit back and see what happens and enjoy!

  He never talks sports, he just talks shit. He turns every subject he posts on into a shit talking contest.

  If I'm talking shit then you're obviously eating it up. Must taste good.
