How badly do you all think Germany is going to beat Serbia tomorrow?

I'm thinking Germany wins by at least a two goal margin though.

Trolling the board you're responsible for is a prerequisite

I don't really troll, but I saw an opportunity to mess with the crazy soccer fans and took it. I'm normally a level headed sport talk poster. It's fun sometimes to just say stupid things and see how people react.

Oh well back to actually talking about soccer. What 4 teams do you guys think have the best shot at winning it all? I've got to admit that I was quite shocked when Spain lost to the Swiss.

6/17/2010 8:52:47 PM

Dude got called out for being as dumb as a brick. Resorts to the "I was just trolling" response.

CLASSIC T-DUB.


Spain will advance, regardless of the loss. Argentina looks good, but I wouldn't pencil them in any further than the quarterfinals just yet. I was completely unimpressed by England, and although they will still advance, we will not know their chances until the Round of 16. The Dutch started out strong, but the Danes weren't all too troubling. I think Germany looked great and are a lock for the quarterfinals, and by my estimation, at least a semifinalist. Brazil started off slow, which is not unlike them; I still believe they are the team to beat, yet can be beaten. Portugal and the Ivory Coast were so cautious it will take another game to gauge their chances.

Whatever. I've earned a pass on being suspended for this one trolling attempt.

Yeah Spain should still get to the quarterfinals, but now I kind of question them being a legit favorite to win it all like so many were saying early on.

[Edited on June 17, 2010 at 9:26 PM. Reason : ]

I wouldn't say Spain should make the quarterfinals since a R16 matchup with Brazil is very possible

"JOHANNESBURG -- Police say a South African man who wanted to watch a World Cup match instead of a religious program was beaten to death by his family in the northeastern part of the country. David Makoeya, a 61-year-old man from the small village of Makweya, Limpopo province, fought with his wife and two children for the remote control on Sunday because he wanted to watch Germany play Australia in the World Cup. The others, however, wanted to watch a gospel show. "He said, 'No, I want to watch soccer,'" police spokesman Mothemane Malefo said Thursday. "That is when the argument came about. "In that argument, they started assaulting him." Malefo said Makoeya got up to change the channel by hand after being refused the remote control and was attacked by his 68-year-old wife Francina and two children, 36-year-old son Collin and 23-year-old daughter Lebogang. Malefo said he was not sure what the family used to kill Makoeya. "It appears they banged his head against the wall," Malefo said. "They phoned the police only after he was badly injured, but by the time the police arrived the man was already dead." All three were arrested Sunday night, but Lebogang was released on $200 bail Tuesday, Malefo said. The other two are still being held in custody. Malefo said the mother and son will reappear in the local Seshego Magistrates Court on July 27. "He was always a happy man, never violent," Makoeya's nieces, Miriam and Anna, told the Daily Sun newspaper. "On Saturday, we saw him the last time at a funeral.""

I wish England played early so I could watch the Germany/Serbia match after I got off work. that should be a good one.

and also fucking lol at brassmonkey. dude was obviously serious and then tried to pull the ol' switcheroo after he got his shit pushed in.

uh oh

6/18/2010 8:07:14 AM

wow this ref is card crazy. Klose shouldn't be off just now.

6/18/2010 8:07:27 AM

ahahahahahhahahahahha



What happened to Germany? I thought they were going to dominate.




AHAHHA THE SERBS SCORE

[Edited on June 18, 2010 at 8:08 AM. Reason : HAHAHAHA]

6/18/2010 8:07:59 AM

Wait, I heard chanting and not the vuvuzelas.

Good goal by the Serbs.

6/18/2010 8:08:35 AM

they were dominating the game without a doubt. good goal by serbia but that ref has swung this game and that is unfortunate.

6/18/2010 8:08:47 AM

and then the immediate goal.. UHHHH OHHHH

I started the game late so I didn't see the first yellow... but the 2nd looked legit to me

6/18/2010 8:09:50 AM

Serbia is lucky no one got hurt in that celebration.

6/18/2010 8:10:05 AM

I wouldnt have given a yellow on that second challenge, but it was close and I could see it justified I suppose. But just in general this ref has given like 7 cards already in the first half with maybe only 3 being on challenges I would have booked.

6/18/2010 8:11:06 AM

This is turning into Netherlands-Portugal from 06

6/18/2010 8:11:49 AM

how many reds is that this tourney now?? gotta be at or near 10 now

6/18/2010 8:12:10 AM

guess it's harsh as a 2nd yellow but Klose should know better to make tackles like that sitting on a yellow... especially for somebody throwing out cards

6/18/2010 8:12:42 AM

i've only seen two card-worthy challenges

amazed there was no card on the celebration, though

i'm not big on punishing celebrations, but i've seen cards for much less than jumping both barriers

6/18/2010 8:13:07 AM

7 reds and 3 have been straight red

6/18/2010 8:13:17 AM

Lodeiro's was the most clear-cut red I remember

6/18/2010 8:15:52 AM

that poor keeper

omar got him

6/18/2010 8:15:57 AM

holy shit, Germany off the crossbar

That was a rocket straight at the crossbar

@jtmoney about trolling

I have already warned a half dozen people for trolling in this thread and none have come back so it's being pretty effective in this case. I'm not going to suspend for the first time because trolling for the sake of being a prick has been so commonplace with people on here for so long that they almost think it's part of the place. I'm trying to cut down on allowing it, but don't want to suspend out of nowhere.

Also, I have no laptop right now and probably won't for a few days, so I won't be around but on my phone so if you have any problems (specifically with this thread) PM me because that is pretty much the only way I'll see it. I'm not going to stare through threads on my 1.5 inch Iphone screen.

6/18/2010 8:20:10 AM

I can't decide what to do for the US game - I DVR'ed it and get off at 12 so I only have to wait like 2 hours but I hate not watching games live. But I don't want to watch it in the office and risk losing a stream or being called out of the office and miss chunks of the game. Plus I can't really celebrate or get pissed like I normally do

6/18/2010 8:20:28 AM

^^word

^ conundrums, itt

6/18/2010 8:21:57 AM

I hate all these bookings... without them it was a fun first half. Go Serbs!
