lol... these commentators are ripping on Italy so much.
"did it hurt that much?" followed by "he's perfectly okay now"

France imploding even when not on the pitch

6/20/2010 10:41:34 AM

^ haha what is going on?

6/20/2010 10:48:45 AM

^^ Are you referring to Anelka being given the boot?

Italy wont make it out of the group

France wont

England probably wont

can I get a Spain failing to make it out for a quad-fecta?

6/20/2010 10:56:44 AM

Sorry the France comment without the backstory. Internet in Bozeman, MT freaked out for awhile, but France doesn't even want to practice? South Africa needs to beat the crap out of them and Uruguay beats the crap out of Mexico and everyone goes home happy.

Going across the channel. Did anyone hear about the fan who made it to the England locker room after the game vs Algeria?

damn you're right they are imploding - player sent home, fitness director quit, program director quit, and now team refusing to practice.

LE FAIL

i don't think this ref has made one call against italy all game. another horribly reffed game

haha the commentators called italy "embarrassing" and "deeply pathetic"

i can't stand the way italians play. i can't watch serie A, and i'm glad i'm not watching this game.

Nice punch by the Italian boxing team

[Edited on June 20, 2010 at 11:39 AM. Reason : that was close]

6/20/2010 11:30:14 AM

this game is pretty good, I dunno what you guys are talking about.

and the All Whites are just as savvy as the Italians when it comes to cheating, it seems.

[Edited on June 20, 2010 at 11:44 AM. Reason : who can out cheat the other? it's sort of hilarious.]

6/20/2010 11:42:09 AM

its a really good game i just hate the italian team

6/20/2010 11:43:07 AM

6/20/2010 11:52:06 AM

ALL WHITES!

6/20/2010 11:52:27 AM

ahahaha fuck italy

6/20/2010 11:53:11 AM

gotta hand it to NZ. fuck Italy.

6/20/2010 11:53:14 AM

i hate watching italy just as much as the next guy, but they'll find a way to the quarter finals, somehow, despite their poor play.



and did anybody notice Coulibili working as the 4th official? hopefully he won't screw up the subs/extra time. it's gotta suck to go from center ref at the world cup, to a glorified ball boy after your chance to break through.

[Edited on June 20, 2010 at 12:12 PM. Reason : ]

6/20/2010 11:53:17 AM

you really think so? NZ is one of the lowest ranked teams in the tournament and Italy still couldn't get past them. Yeah, they controlled the game, but if NZ's defense can shut down Italy's "offense", do you really think teams that can score AND defend won't beat them?

6/20/2010 11:56:59 AM

bahahwahahaha!

6/20/2010 11:59:08 AM

^^yeah, it's just a case of italy being italy to me. as poor as they are playing, i just can't count them out. i base most of this on their history, more than anything. they're a bugger you just can't really kill, somehow. they are the duke basketball of the world cup.

[Edited on June 20, 2010 at 12:02 PM. Reason : ]

6/20/2010 12:01:11 PM

ok, i can understand that.

but i, personally, can't see a team that struggles with New Zealand - and who only scores on them because of a penalty resulting from an obvious dive - doing anything of note this year.

that said, i'm probably wrong. and it will piss me off.

6/20/2010 12:05:21 PM

is anyone else watching Univision right now?



if not, you need to be.

6/20/2010 12:10:21 PM

those post game soccer ladies?

6/20/2010 12:10:41 PM

Yes. there was a multitude of hot latin bitches in spanish-speaking countries' national team stuff

except for the one hot latina in Italian gear, lookin finer than a motherfucker

hahaha, is anyone watching espn? the guy from l'equipe just said exactly what anelka said on tv " he told him, go fuck your family, and you're a son of a bitch"

6/20/2010 12:24:17 PM

oooooh man, how great would it be if South Africa advanced and kept the streak of host nations making the knockout round because of France's national hissy-fit?

6/20/2010 12:24:48 PM

I thought he said, "go fuck yourself and you're a son of a bitch"

6/20/2010 12:26:07 PM

yea i couldn't really tell exactly what he said

6/20/2010 12:26:47 PM

wait, did it go uncensored? i only caught the tail end of that interview

6/20/2010 12:27:04 PM

yeah, they let it fly and Bob Ley was like... uhhh.. well I thank you for your frankness.


ahahah

6/20/2010 12:27:50 PM

ahhaha. that's brilliant. sad i missed it.

but seriously, the french players should be ashamed. not for their behavior as much, but for their behavior after a terrible performance. it would be one thing to protest if the lineup was being shook after positive performances, but they haven't even scored a goal. pitiful. the french can't string together two consecutive good world cup's, can they?

6/20/2010 12:30:22 PM

GODDAMN that chick in the blue is fucking FINE
