World Cup

Diego Maradona looks like an alcoholic midget Jesus who found his wardrobe at a used car dealer's garage sale.

LoL. I never knew he was so small.

4-1 a pretty convincing win for Argentina. Netherlands are still my favourites to win though.

someone needs to remind Messi he's not playing for money

... yes I'm bitter Argentina deserved to win the game, but with the own goal (which Sung Ryong should have stopped) and the second goal as well which should also have been stopped... it could have at least been a closer game in score... differential does count a win against Nigeria will guarantee moving on, a tie... we'll have to wait and see

Going back a bit to the N Korea vs Brazil game, who thinks that N Korea should have won?

not me brazil were the better team.

Korea held on well but brazil were always going to break them down. Mexico getting some revenge for ireland. I'll be supporting them! They've got the same kit too!

France is all but out of the WC! Yeah!

[mcfc_nick]

its actually quite funny how bad France are, theyve got some aweome players but they cant play with each other. Anyway we play tomorrow and im expecting a comfortable win (although i was expecting that last week)

they take Ireland's spot by cheating and they don't even get out of the group stages.

It doesn't look like they even want to play. well done France.

I don't know how to feel about the USA draw versus Slovenia: elated that the team came back from two-nil, frustrated that they need to fall behind before they start playing well, or mad as hell at the referee for flat-out blowing the call on the would-be go-ahead goal.

why was it disallowed?

I don't think a reason was given...

[Chilli Dipper]

why was it disallowed?

Someone was apparently offside. I can't say who, because the play sure looked legit to me (except for a Slovenian defender giving Michael Bradley a bear hug in the middle of the crowd, which wasn't called, either).

Regardless, the mission is clear for the US team: rack up goals against Algeria next Wednesday. Win and the Americans are most certainly in (barring a strange tiebreaker if all three teams atop the group table finish 1-1-1).

Highway Robbery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bradley got tackled, he was the only one elgible, so how was it offsides?!!!!!! Horrendus call! But if England beats Slovenia and we take care of bussiness vs Algeria, then we are in.

[Chilli Dipper]

I have to correct myself. The United States, England, and Slovenia would be at the mercy of tiebreakers if they all finish 1-2-0. England beats Algeria, United States beats Algeria, England ties Slovenia, and all hell breaks loose.

[mcfc_nick]

Its not even funny how poor we are

[Chilli Dipper]

Its not even funny how poor we are

Speaking as an American, you're making it easy for us to advance to the knockout stage. The way things are going now, we can make it to the second round with three ties.

The U.S. should have won. What an awful job that ref did today. but at least we didn't lose...

Go ALL WHITES!!! :)

I usually don't watch much soccer, I have enjoyed watching the U.S. hopefully they can make a run.
