FIFA World Cup

[Y 2 Jake]

I don't see it happening, but it'd be great if it did.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

New Zealand Holding Italy was a pretty big surprise but (just like France) there's no real oomph to that team.

Kim's boys are going for a win today against Portugal. Come on fellas.

 

[gd]

Fuckin' Portugese.

 

[LUFC HBK]

Come on England big day today. If you can't get up for this game then we have no chance. Hopefully Capello mixes it up a bit. Joe Cole maybe? Crouch? Who knows. SOmething needs to change though. Might see some of you in the LD at 2 am :|

 

[Pepe Silvia]

So if England OR USA get a win they automatically advance.

USA has a better chance than England right now, though, because they have more Goals For.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

It's between England & USA for the top spot as far as I'm concerned.

Can't believe they're giving kids the afternoon off to watch the game.

 

[Ferbian]

I absolutely love the Danish newspapers

First one I saw today had one of the headlines saying "Bendtner - A new legend"

And the second one had the headline saying "Nicklas Bendtner is better than all the other legends" (referring to Danish soccer legends) I didn't read the article cause I was afraid I'd start laughing in the train, and it'd be awkward.

Bendtner is good I'll give people that, but he's nothing compared to the Laudrup Brothers, at least not from my perspective.

FACT

 

[Ferbian]

FACT

Exactly! and while I think they focused on attackers, he's not even as good as Jon Dahl in his good years, he's not as good as Ebbe Sand during his years (at least in my eyes he's not as good) who's not legends at all.

And if we're not focusing on attackers, he's not better than Peter Schmeichel that's for damn sure.

 

[Lee]

Thomasson can fuck off

 

[Барбоса]

Neither Bendtner nor Jon Dahl Tomasson will ever be considered as legends by anyone except perhaps themselves.

Bendtner could not hit the broadside of a barn in the Premiership and despite having over 50 international goals against teams like Latvia and Luxembourg, Tomasson is no better

 

[Ferbian]

I don't like him neither, but it's a clear fact that during his prime, he was better than Bendtner.

At least Jon Dahl scored with the majority of his chances.

True Barbarosa, but Jon Dahl is still someone I'd give the edge over Bendtner, as much as I can't stand him.

Obviously you weren't a Newcastle United supporter of the 97-98 season?

I didn't watch much soccer during that period, and I've never truly been able to watch any soccer from England.

I'm thinking on the national team.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

I just realized something. This has been 2 bad calls that these refs made against the US. It's like FIFA doesn't want the US to win anything.

 

[Lee]

There've been a ton of bad calls for other teams as well, get over it.

After all the luck you've had in this tournament how can you complain.

 

[LUFC HBK]

Come on All Whites. Anything now is extra, although it would be amazing to see us go through to the second round.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Nothing wrong with a little controversy.

 

[Shadowmancer]

Exactly Go The All Whites

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

And Italy are G-O-N-E! Slovakia put in a mighty fine performance.

 

[Shadowmancer]

New Zealand finished above Italy. New Zealand is fucking ecstatic right now. This is the first time that New Zealand is happy with a team doing their best and not winning it all.

There is the colonial hangover showing through. Cheering losers is a British pastime

 

[Shadowmancer]

But we didn't lose, we didn't win, but we didn't lose. I think it is more the fact that there were no expectations for the All Whites.
