6/8/2010 11:12:41 AM

Mozambique hits the pole on the best chance of the game for either team.

6/8/2010 11:17:13 AM

Fabio Capello approves.

6/8/2010 11:17:18 AM

Halftime 0-0

LOL! Portugal isn't looking that good.

6/8/2010 11:23:12 AM

Portugal are shit.


I think the real Group of Death is going to be Group D.

6/8/2010 11:32:19 AM

^ yeah I thought it was D anyways because there's no North Korea for an easy 3 points


all 4 teams in D have a legit chance to win the group

6/8/2010 11:36:31 AM

2-0 Portugal 75'

6/8/2010 12:10:41 PM

My friend's neighbor left yesterday to go to South Africa... he brought 5 people and has tickets to the England-USA game and the Brazil-North Korea game. I asked my friend about it, but I guess he's loaded; this is the same guy who brought my friend's dad and my friend to a Celtics finals game 2 years ago. Absolutely ridiculous though...

6/8/2010 12:12:14 PM

3-0 now

6/8/2010 12:17:15 PM

3-0 final

6/8/2010 12:29:05 PM

USA-England is going to be on a real ESPN right? I don't get ESPN 3 with my ISP, but luckily I don't care about soccer much. I would like to see part of this game though.

[Edited on June 8, 2010 at 12:32 PM. Reason : Just found a comercial for it online, ABC?]

6/8/2010 12:30:46 PM

USA England is on ABC

6/8/2010 12:37:53 PM

Kick-off is at 2:30 p.m. on ABC. Pre-match commentary begins at 1:30 p.m. Here's a complete broadcast schedule: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/fixtures

Rooney kicks a game-winning side volley to beat us in the EA FIFA match sim: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5263685

How did we let Heskey score!?

"we will be at ruckus for the usa vs england game. any and all should come out"

I'm coming into town for the match, and we are currently debating where to go. My question is will we actually be able to *see* the game at Ruckus? I know that place is really small and only has a couple of TV's. I'd like to watch it with y'all though.

Also, have you heard about any drink specials for that day?

6/8/2010 1:41:20 PM

^ 99.9% sure it will be on all the TVs, and if they have a new projector by then, on that, too.


Don't know about drink specials, tho.

6/8/2010 1:44:08 PM

Last World Cup when I went to Hibernian in Cary they had 2 large tv's for the Germany vs Italy game. We were shoulder to shoulder in the bar. I moved my arm just a little bit and spilled my drink on a girl. It was ok though because she was cheering for Italy.

And thus marked Big4Country's last consensual physical contact with a member of the opposite sex, in the year of our lord, two thousand and six

6/8/2010 2:15:23 PM

wait you said it was consensual?

6/8/2010 2:21:56 PM

^^No

6/8/2010 2:23:39 PM

to Ribs, they have like 5 or 6 HD tvs lined up across the bar...it will be the easiest place to watch a game for most of the bars. plus you will def be able to hear it too cause i know theyll have the volume up for it

6/8/2010 3:17:19 PM

Spain vs Poland up next on espn3 in about 5 minutes.

6/8/2010 3:52:17 PM

Spain/Poland is also on ESPN2

6/8/2010 3:58:13 PM

double post

suspend for duration of WC please

6/8/2010 4:05:24 PM

The font the names and numerals are in on Spain's jerseys is really cool. Anyone know what it is?

[Edited on June 8, 2010 at 4:12 PM. Reason : Villa scores on a perfect cross... Spain is just dirty]

6/8/2010 4:09:32 PM

Silva scores on a beautiful play in the box

This team has to be the favorite for the Cup

6/8/2010 4:14:07 PM

^^ Their fonts are all adidas branded internals completed by their design team. each one is unique, but I'm pretty sure they don't name them beyond stuff like "Spain WC2010."



Have a look through this site, you might find it there. The guy who runs it re-creates and/or is delivered the font files. His work is actually pretty good.

ahahaha epic Qshack whiff.

[Edited on June 8, 2010 at 4:36 PM. Reason : and epic proof of my argument that Iniesta > Xavi]

6/8/2010 4:35:10 PM

^^ thanks for the link

6/8/2010 4:49:43 PM

wow, Spain are unreal.

6/8/2010 5:37:06 PM

the gap of talent between their first and second team is non-existant. they could start any of the players on their squad and lose nothing

6/8/2010 5:40:40 PM

u rite

6/8/2010 5:42:08 PM

yes that Spain goal was quite delicious

6/8/2010 8:34:39 PM

After over a month of emailing and calling ESPN support they finally fixed my ESPN3 account so the remote access actually works. June and July are going to be highly unproductive months for me at work...

6/9/2010 6:57:36 AM

if anyone is in greensboro, the Carousel on battleground will be showing all USA games on the big screen as well. of course, i'll be hosting my own birthday / world cup bonanza so i will not be there. hiyooooooooooooo

6/9/2010 10:26:48 AM

Just a warning to anyone who is thinking about it.

I WILL delete any post trying to instigate a "soccer sucks" fight in this thread and warn you. If you do it again, I will suspend you for the duration of the World Cup.

I'm not going to be on here during the games for the most part but if anyone sees it, feel free to PM me. This is a place for people to talk about one of the most exciting global events in sports and not a place to troll about one one sport being superior to another.

6/9/2010 12:09:55 PM

And I suck for double posting

6/9/2010 12:09:55 PM

What channels are the games on TWC? I have a 14 yr old that's having trouble finding to set his DVR.

6/9/2010 12:31:56 PM

i think all of the games are being broadcast on GOLO Network

hahaha, looks like the ambassadors of England and USA have been talking smack to each other about the upcoming game.

6/9/2010 4:55:15 PM

I remember last year, Kornheiser saying on an episode of PTI that ESPN was planning to have the South Africa vs. Mexico game broadcast in 3D. Guess that isn't happening anymore.

6/9/2010 5:28:06 PM

yeah, whatever happened with ESPN3D which was supposed to start up with the world cup? haven't heard much about that in a while

6/9/2010 5:29:37 PM

30,000+ tickets still available to the public for the greatest sporting event in the world
