2010 World Cup Thread.

I'll be pinpointing this topic (refs) all I can - kills the beauty of this sport.

Here's something in Polish - translation below:

The circle on the right appears to be larger
-
Elephants appear in different sizes
-
Straight lines appear to lean to eachother
-
The ball appears to be in the goal

To deny optical illusions
is what only Uruguaians (refs) can do

Fuck the world cup, stupid ass refs can't make a fuckin call.

Until you can prove that your team would not try to get away with it if they could, you have nothing to argue about. He scored, the ref didn't make the call... like refs havent been making calls for a lot of teams.

Full time. 3-0. Beautiful goals. Time to take it up to the Netherlands!

He is right, the same thing happens pretty often in the EPL.

Come on! I know that "clean game" is a clear wishful thinking, but that does not justify cheating! Saw what Thiery Henry did in France-Ireland qualifying game?? Same here - that's just plain cheating.

That said - I remember a goal Poland has scored against... San Marino - last minute, 0:0 on the board (shame), corner kick, and "hand of god" style goal. My team or not - cheating. There.

Still - Brazil played nicely today. :)

Hasn't Luis Fabiano been moved to Brasil's handball team already? Or is it not until the end of WC2010?

and I'm excited for the next game.. Robben will own Brasil heheh..

Oh wow, that is great.

2-0 Brasil!!!! As I mentioned before, you need more than 8 Chileans to be able to hold back Robinho, Kaka and Luis Fabiano on a counter attack!

lol. I'm watching and working at the same time. Every time that I minimize the screen to work on something, Brazil scores another goal.

Argentina won the game plain and simple. They are a better team than Mexico, the Mexicans played very rough against Argentina. They were playing American football against Mesi. lol

Germany vs Argentina should be a good game. Whoever wins that game is going all the way. Germany has always been my 2nd favorite but gotta go with childhood futbol hero Maradona on this one.
