[WC] World Cup 2010 - General Talk Thread (41 Viewers)

I hope Van Persie wakes up.. the timing would be excellent. We'll struggle massively, and will automatically be pushed back plenty of times, even if we want to play forward. Our defence can't keep up with Spain's forwards though.

About Germany: They were really good for a couple of games, but I think some people didn't realise that big name teams like Argentina were just really not that good, or shit, rather. Allowing a Germany side that has played like they have so much space all over the pitch was suicide.

I didn't expect Spain to play better than they have so far, but I figured that if they would 'show up' Germany wouldn't have much say in the matter.

I hope RVP does, he needs to show up.


Anyways, have faith :toast:

Alen told you not to bet on them conceding the most goals??

He suggested it may be a team who would go a long way in the tournament that may end up conceding most, just because they would play twice as many games as N. Korea.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Holland are more boring though.

That's why I hope the pitch opens up and gobbles up both teams! umpkin:

 

[Ventus]

can we have a poll to see who the majority will be supporting in the final?

 

[Fred]

Believe me that never happens. I have the same wish every time Chelsea plays United.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Any scenario in which the final is some how canceled and the trophy not awarded should be an option.

 

[Red]

So Italy could be World Champions for another four years? :superhapp

[X Æ A-12]

Exactly,

see now Red gets me.

 

[Alen]

Just as well I ignored your advice Alen.

Betting on N. Korea conceding most goals seems to have been a wise investment.

You didn't really ignore my advice and it wasn't an advice, it was a warning.
IIRC, you already had the bet taken when we talked about it, so you couldn't ignore my advice.

glad the krauts and their diving cyborg ways are out, Iniesta is simply man of the tournament for me.

Either way, so long as no team concedes more than 6 goals at the weekend, I'll be home and dry.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Diving Cyborg?

 

[Alen]

Man, Europe is seriously rulling football. Best clubs, best national teams, best coaches, highest number of top players.

The others should simply stop trying.

Probably but the reason im not supporting Spain isnt because i think they are boring i would just prefer to see Holand Win.

Ya Western Europe is great. Along with Brazil and Argentina they really are the rulers of football. I wonder if African and Eastern European teams will ever catch up.

The Asians are ahead of the Africans at the moment.

 

[Fred]

The Asians are ahead of the Africans at the moment.

Just because of one World Cup?

I wouldn't say they're ahead, i'd say they just had a better WC.


Unless you're willing to concede that Uruguay is now one of the top 4 footballing nations at the moment
