World Cup Discussion

[Vio]

This will be the official thread for everything World Cup, it is in the Music and Movies because the forum also includes TV events, and unless you are in South Africa watching the games in person then this is the appropiate place for an discussion, and it should get pretty active if last the last World Cup four years ago is any indication. I have fond memories of Tarot Card making fun of Zidane for headbutting Materazzi in the Final:

It was gutting to see that Ball slip out of Green's hands but I don't actually hate him for it. It sometimes happens. I would like to see England learning from this match and perfecting themselves for the next two.
We drew our first game in 1966 so I'm hoping this draw is a good sign.

Pretty much sums it up for me.

Germany 4
Australia 0

I'm happy, but not too surprised, the three teams I always root for is USA, since I'm American, and Germany and England since those are the countries of my ancestors.

[Blackdog]

Some surprisingly low scoring results so far.
I'm looking forward to the Spain vs Switzerland match next.

[Blackdog]

England VS Algeria
My feelings =

[blacky]

Exactly how much money are England getting for playing football really shitty? I tend to be pissed off by how much money they are making for kicking a ball around as it is, but for christ sake they could at least be somewhat good at it

Germany losing to Ghana also deserves a facepalm...
and America tying Slovania... also a facepalm.

Let's face it. This Whole World Cup is a bit of a Shocker.
And it might be another draw for Italy with New Zealand.

[Vio]

I know Brazil, Italy, and France are not doing so hot...

[Blackdog]

NoNoNoNoNo Ref.
And the England Defence needs a good kicking too.

[Kiryū Kazuma]

Japan for world cup glory!

[Vio]

My last hope is Germany, go defeat Argentina!

[Toadkiller Dog]

I've had faith in Germany all along...but I do every cup.

Oh well, it was a good game, but Spain had much more control over the midfield...

Anyways, I'm opening a poll: The Dutch or the Spanish?
