2010 World Cup talk

  Btw, Italy looked really good once they went down 2-0. Wonder where that urgency was at before.

  If you mean being a student radio broadcaster, they don't give me access to mythical things such as ND success since 2000.

  You guys are killing me at least its civil LOL
  
  
  Great game to watch lots of drama there at the end!!

  Looks like Lippi made a HUGE mistake not playing Qualiarella in the first two games of this World Cup, kid played with passion and opened things up.

  I don't know how serious Karen's being but I'm just in a chops busting mood today haha I'm just messing around for some reason I'm in a good mood for a Thursday morning stuck working in an office.
  
  
  
  Back to the topic, the last 15 minutes of that game were the best soccer I've watched so far in the World Cup. If Italy plays like that for the last 30 minutes instead of the last 15 they probably win.

  That was an awesome throw in by Slovakia at the end there.

  Serious as a heart attack. But seriously about 93.4% of everything I say is sarcastic/joking.

  Also, that offsides call was very iffy, similar to the US one yesterday.

  No, he actually was offsides on that one. Linesman got it right today.
  
  Only thing I didn't like was the Slovakians playing dead in stoppage time every time they got touched. It was like they were trying to imitate Italy's normal form.
• Laley23

  

  Im slightly surprised Italy didnt make it out of their group. But it has to be said/questioned....why did they bring in the players they did? This team failed at Euro, and looked even worse in South Africa. That was just terrible.
• lhslep134

  

  Maybe they coulda used Rossi.
• ohiotiger33

  

  Lol Italy fail.
• SportsAndLady

  

  There are 5 groups w/ the outcomes set. Of those 5, 2 of the winners and 1 second place are from CONCACAF. The other 2 groups do not have a CONCACAF team in it.

  LOL wut? CONCACAF only has three teams in it, and Honduras ain't in 2nd place. Plus they have yet to play their 3rd match.
• hoops23

  

  The two teams who played in the '06 final don't even make it out of group play. What a difference 4 years makes huh?
• Laley23

  

  Yeah, CONCACAF only had 3 teams make it right? Honduras is destined to be last, but Mexico and USA are through. USA as the winner and Mehico as second. Im not forgetting anyone am I? Uruguay beat Costa Rica in the playoff....
  
  Now, the South American teams....WOW!
  Argenitna -- Won Group
  Brazil -- Will Win Group
  Chile -- Leading Group by 3 pts, play Spain
  Paraguay -- Won Group
  Uruguay -- Won Group
  
  THAT IS SOME SERIOUS DOMINATION!
• I Wear Pants

  What we're saying is Americas>Europe + Africa
• hoops23

  

  Nobody will ever mistake South America as not being a soccer producing nation. They always give you good results.
  
  Like they say, Europeans invented the game, South Americans perfected it.

  lulz
• hoops23

  

  haha, you know why I did that? Because the original fucking statement was going to be Brazil, but I decided to change it to fit the entire continent of South America and didn't change "nation"...

  Asia has done quite well, considering how shit their teams are "supposed" to be. Japan could go through along with South Korea who is through.
  
  Then you have North Korea, and well....lets just forget that team ever existed. Im not even sure Kim Jong Il will let them back into N. Korea anyway.
• Fab1b

  

  Japan up 1-0
