2010 World Cup talk

  • Laley23
    Spain showed today why they are so tough. Paraguay played as solid as you can defensively and Spain still broke it down eventually.

    Suarez won't face any further discipline for the handball, he just has to miss the semifinal

    Wow, Germany vs. Spain. That's a tough one. I don't know who I think will win this game.
  • cbus4life
    I just can't go against Germany, at this point...
  • hoops23
    Germany is my new favorite! lol..

    4-1 over England, 4-0 over Argentina? wow..

    I hope they can win it all. I have a lot of German Ancestors.
  • Fly4Fun
    Germany is always my 2nd team for world cup... German ancestry and I lived in Germany a bit as a kid... definitely played a lot of soccer while over there.

    I'll be pulling for Spain and the foreign exchange family I've got over there. DAVID VILLA!!!!!!!
  • Laley23
    If Spain wins this thing David Villa is gonna be mentioned along the likes of Maradona and Pele in the way he has/will single handily take them to the title.

    Now, we all know Xavi, Iniesta, etc have been great as well. But its all about scoring goals, and Villa has been magnificent for them.

    Villa has officially surpassed Torres as the best Spanish forward. After Torres' first season for Liverpool I would have taken him.....not now.

    Also, I'm 2nd in the bracket predictor. Woohoo!
  • Laley23
    Yep, Villa is making his case for top (PURE) forward. Trying to overtake Rooney right now.

    In Brazil if you don't win you're done. doubly so for a guy like Dunga who the purists loathed as manager
  • Mulva
    Dunga was gonna leave anyways.

    Whoever the next coach is is walking into a dream situation, getting the cup IN Brazil in 2014. You can book them to win it right now.

    It is basically over! Theres no way I can lose, I predicted 3 of 4 semifinalists, and everyone elses winner's are done except Spain, but I picked Spain to win so nobody will be able to beat me regardless of what goes down in the semis!
  • Automatik
    Yeah I'm dunzo. I just looked at your bracket. I'm not even in 2nd and I was intoxicated during that last post.
  • cbus4life
    Dunga deserved to get canned after deciding to wear that hideous jacket during the Netherlands game.
  • Fab1b
    Oh my what a rocket, 1 - 0 orange
  • SportsAndLady
    What a rip
  • Mulva
    Awesome goal. Dutch should have this match on lock now. Not sure Uruguay has the attacking power without Suarez. Forlan can only do so much on his own.
  • cbus4life
    Sick goal.
  • TigerNation10
    Lol at the Holland player getting kicked straight in the face.
  • Fab1b
    Dude got kicked square in the chops however I will give him credit he didn't flail around like he just stepped on a landmine, he didn't even use the stretcher!!
  • TigerNation10
    Goal Uruguay. 1-1
