[WC] World Cup 2010 - General Talk Thread (37 Viewers)

Their approach to the game in the second half was weird. They never believed they could advance from this group, they never tried more to score more goals to a 10 man France. At some points in the second half I thought their goalkeeper was wasting time.

Them defeating France was good enough to make up for them being knocked out from the 1st stage, they realized that and they became convinced it was too good to be true so naturally they opted for defending the lead rather than taking the risk of pressing their opposition and conceding along the way. That's my explanation anyway

Who would thought SA would lose out on qualifying by frigging goal difference?? And France would come last with 1 goal and 1 pt

It's only technically true. Barely looked like that during the games in the last round.

You have a problem with geography? Mehico aint no south americans.

Seven is the new Kyle.

Why didn't Domenech shake his hand?

I guess so but if I was their fan, I would love them to go for more goals even if they eventually ended up with a draw.

Argies vs. Mexico looks good to me.

They are culturally. They're treated as such by the US too.

They are treated as latin americans, but not south americans.

And I wouldnt judge anything on what the US does They assume hindu indians are arabs just for having beards etc. In general just like to lump people together (how they define ethnicities in their country is hilarious, broad stroke with the term hispanic for example, including Portuguese and Spanish people, dont consider them as caucasians because there is a seperate cathegory for it, hehe).


But to the issue at hand, you are indeed the new Kyle

He really is a pathetic little man, he can go back to his day job of stealing sweets from children.

True. I should have said Latin America. Which is what I generally do in Dutch, but for some reason I've never used it in English before.

 

[king Ale]

show me your bracket (no pun your pervs)

I couldn't sign up for that, you remember? But I'm terrible at predicting. I was going to hand the whole thing to Italy

I saw yours, so you want Korea to advance?

 

[Bjerknes]

Not a single thing? That's a bit foolish.

Ofcourse.

Argies vs. Mexico looks good to me.

Just like last time, they'll do it but in a much easier game.

 

[Bjerknes]

hells yeah! i cant wait for masch to have blanco for breakie

I'd be tempted to bet on a draw after 90.

Won't be an easy game for Argentina. Mark my words

lol couldnt be as bad as Alen who picked france to win it all, and my picks are not what i would "want" to make it out but rather who i think would, i cant stand brazil but i picked them to win it

 

[Osman]

shut yo face you ayrab!

What does the american govt group you as ethnically?

Hehe, no honestly, its intriguing something so misguided is done in govt level. I seen a small and informative documentary of how they cathegorize ethnicity, that spanish immigrants and such have very hard to be classified as caucasian just because of the weird hispanic cathegory, hehe (and other examples, what it takes to be considered black or white etc). Would think a govt would be more competent in such a simple matter.

Same here. Uruguay are a better side than Mexico but I think Argentina would have an easier game against Uruguay.
