nothing fishy

they probably sold ticket books that included desirable games and not so desirable games

that's how you end up sold out with a ton of no shows

6/19/2010 2:39:55 PM

2 words

party alcahol.

6/19/2010 2:40:14 PM

i'm going for cameroon i think

i like their outfits

plus i love africa

6/19/2010 2:47:04 PM

Plus they're already up a goal

6/19/2010 2:47:40 PM

Oh btw, I watched the USA goal replay in slomo on my HDTV. I can totally see the USA player that caused the foul that was called. It did happen. The issue, though, is that while that was happening, two or three Slovenian players were wrapped around USA players. So in that case, what gets precedence?

6/19/2010 2:48:20 PM

yea i watched the replay like 5000 times from different angles. oh but i have no idea what the answer to your question is.

^^ well yea but i decided i was going for them before the goal, duhhhhh

I was actually making a legitimate post, fuck you very much.

alexi lalas is actually kind of attractive now that he doesn't have all that hair and bearded mess from back in the day. i mean...moderately attractive?!

but i totally had an autographed poster of him in my room for like 2384970 years. cause i was a loser.

6/19/2010 2:55:46 PM

nice goal

6/19/2010 3:05:41 PM

WHOAAAAAAAAAA.

go cameroon! what a block.

6/19/2010 3:13:11 PM

this cameroon v denmark game is awesome, no one is playing any defense

6/19/2010 3:32:30 PM

someone photoshop a picture of hamlet blowing one of those vuvuzella things

6/19/2010 3:36:38 PM

no.

6/19/2010 3:47:40 PM

Why I love British commentators:

On Sneijder's goal in the Netherlands game: "It was travelling at a fair old rate of knots."

On Shunsuke Nakamura: "He has a left foot you could open a can of tomato soup with."

cameroon/denmark has been a fun game to watch.

Rommedahl has had a great game. goal and an assist and he's creating all kinds of chances.

6/19/2010 3:53:29 PM

wow, eto'o is the only world class striker for cameroon. they've had about 20 shots, and only a few of them have actually been on goal.

6/19/2010 5:19:10 PM

Goooo Australia! Please win your next game.

6/19/2010 5:24:30 PM

poor cameroon

if only they'd worn their one-piece kit with the claw marks

i remember seeing something about fifa "looking in" to this

anyone else not a fan of the automatic game suspension for yellows in consecutive games? hate that rule

6/19/2010 7:50:07 PM

^

Do they reset at all, or do they carry over all the way to the final game?

6/19/2010 8:17:55 PM

they reset this year in the quarterfinals. years before it was the round of 16...not sure why they moved it up another game

6/19/2010 8:54:01 PM

is it consecutive games or just two yellows?

6/19/2010 9:03:02 PM

two yellows as far as i know. i didnt think it was consecutive games

6/19/2010 9:04:45 PM

i think its a terrible rule as is. the idea behind it is ok. it just needs to reset after the pool play

6/19/2010 9:07:05 PM

If they're going to until the quarters the accumulation point should be three, not two.

6/19/2010 9:16:24 PM

^ three seems like a more reasonable number anyway. especially considering how quick these refs have been to pull their cards out.

6/19/2010 9:23:56 PM

^i thought about that but then noone will be affected until the round of 16

does a red disqualify you from the next match?

6/19/2010 9:26:13 PM

yes. it's the same as 2 yellows.

6/19/2010 9:28:24 PM

Paraguay is moving the ball really well, they've had some sick passes. That goal was incredible, a little luck on the through ball but perfectly placed.

6/20/2010 8:00:55 AM

the second goal looked like a CF but a nice strike to finish it

6/20/2010 9:13:45 AM

holy shit that was a tough missed offsides there

congrats to New Zealand on their first ever WC lead

it was deflected off Cannavaro. onsides.

6/20/2010 10:17:30 AM

what is the reason for the black bands the italian players are wearing?

6/20/2010 10:17:54 AM

it looks like it was headed on by a NZ player then touched by Cannavaro. at the time of the NZ header the goal scorer was offsides

6/20/2010 10:20:39 AM

i'm not watching, but following the gamecast it looks like Italy is being Italy...

Quote :

"Cannavaro goes down clutching his face, despite Rory Fallon's elbow being nowhere near it."

Quote :

"Cannavaro is down again holding his chest. He seems to be determined to get New Zealand players in the book."

6/20/2010 10:25:47 AM

Italy will score... it's just a matter of time. Way too many close chances.

6/20/2010 10:27:11 AM

^^yeah its pretty terrible

wow that was close

6/20/2010 10:28:07 AM

PK for italy, fuck

6/20/2010 10:29:11 AM

Buzzz.

6/20/2010 10:29:26 AM

nice dive by italy in the box

6/20/2010 10:30:29 AM

6/20/2010 10:33:51 AM

hell that jersey grabbing was nothing compared to the shit going on in the box during the USA game
