weird, they talked about this on around the horn, but they said it was ghana. it's insane if it's ghana, but it seems like that's not the case.

So chinese coach is telling chinese player what to do, and doesn't care that the black dude is there because chinese coach assumes black dude doesn't know chinese

The black dude either does know chinese or acts like he knows chinese just the fuck with the chinese coach

or something like that

7/1/2010 11:06:03 AM

Uh, yeah pretty much. And it was North Korea and Ivory Coast.

Eboue was just fucking with them to be funny.

that was a surprisingly good read. he actually had me convinced that he knew what he was talking about rather than just some ESPN talking head reporting on something he felt obligated to have an opinion on.

7/1/2010 7:44:10 PM

i still feel like Messi looks like someone else that i can't quite put my finger on

Me da la impresión de que la pregunta no fue traducido correctamente.

7/1/2010 9:10:36 PM

^^ hahaha. i see a gif of his reaction in the near future...

7/1/2010 9:13:24 PM

that first noise he makes cracks me up every time

7/1/2010 9:17:15 PM

Fuck spain

7/1/2010 9:49:01 PM

definitely a deserved red.

7/1/2010 9:53:35 PM

Really wish FIFA would review the footage after the game and suspend people for that shit

And that Messi/Hoffman comparison is spot on, but that pic above is not

7/1/2010 9:54:58 PM

I can't decide which is more pathetic. The fabricated dive or the horrid timing on the attempted header.

7/1/2010 9:57:54 PM

ha. i just realized that the youtube clip has a vuvuzela option when you click on the soccer ball.

i'm sure i'm like two weeks late on realizing that

[Edited on July 1, 2010 at 10:10 PM. Reason : ]

7/1/2010 10:08:47 PM

^^ hahaha. definitely the dive. even the best mistime (misjudge) headers.

Halfback passes to center, back to wing, back to center, center holds it! Hold it! HOLDS IT!!!

7/1/2010 11:01:43 PM

i missed the point of your post.

7/1/2010 11:02:57 PM

^^well played

7/1/2010 11:12:01 PM

im pretty sure the simpsons already did it...and like 3 other people in this thread. you lost on the internet bro

7/1/2010 11:46:34 PM

I saw his elbow come up to the Spanish player's head during the game.

But of course that was before the beginning of that gif.

Somebody post the actual video.

yea that gif doesn't really show what happened on the play. costa was asking for a card all game, and he did make contact with capdevilla's face. he just had a really delayed reaction and embellished the shit out of the play to make it a red card.

7/2/2010 12:27:55 AM

stoked for this first game today

hup holland motherfucking hup

7/2/2010 8:58:25 AM

I'm looking for Brazil to win it all and for USA to take them down next month

7/2/2010 9:43:34 AM

^ brazil won't send their a-squad against us next month, and chances are we won't play most of our stars either.

unrelated - is it after this round that all cards are wiped?

7/2/2010 10:01:13 AM

Cards are wiped for the semifinal game (next game)

7/2/2010 10:03:01 AM

yes. so in order to sit out the final you would have to get a red in the semis

The Dutch spent the first 3 minutes diving all over the place and scolding the ref.

7/2/2010 10:06:08 AM

That was quick...

7/2/2010 10:10:48 AM

Brazil is too good

7/2/2010 10:11:01 AM

WHAT A BALL IN

WHAT A FINISH

ROBINHOOOOOOOO

7/2/2010 10:11:10 AM

wow, shocking defending

7/2/2010 10:11:29 AM

thread the needle down the middle - very nice!

7/2/2010 10:11:47 AM

fuck robben just shoot it

7/2/2010 10:31:26 AM

nice save

7/2/2010 10:31:59 AM

fuck me. pretty to watch.

7/2/2010 10:32:07 AM

ahhh. robben with the 'ole "i'm not taking the corner even though i really am" trick

7/2/2010 10:37:32 AM

he actually lost all the strength in his left foot so he's trying to pull out all the tricks to make up for it

may just have to float in a free kick later to win it

7/2/2010 10:40:27 AM

Brazil are putting on a fucking show. Absolutely dominant.
