Ozzie ozzie ozzie.

Ozzie ozzie ozzie.
Rumors of Ronaldo's demise were greatly exaggerated.
He was being a little facetious and playing the 'devil's advocate'.... not everything was literal. At least that's how I saw the flow of the thread...WOW! been a while since I've read so much bull in one thread alone

hmm, I don't even think I need to explain why this is bull . Claiming that football has something to do with countries being corrupt is bull ! and I for one would love for you to base your bull takes on some evidence! something other than ing coincidence.
What the does it matter if you played it first or not?? American's don't like it simply because American's love everything fast, neat and easy to understand, simple as that. Its a matter of tastes.at you trying to equate women football with mens!
Also, the US team needs all that protection because of political reasons that have nothing to do with the sport.
oh yes, clearly you have football all firgured out huh?That's why Ivory Coast had such a great time against all white teams like Argentina, Holland (well they have a black guy, but not a very important one).
yet another idiotic joke
You people love baseball! BASEBALL!! and you're telling me football is the least sophisticated sport of all?? give me a ing break!!! You don't know about football!
You're telling me you think football has less adrenaline rush than baseball??? ... so stupid its hard to find a decent argument... but I guess that was what you intended. You clearly have no ing clue when it comes to football.
pfff... scoring a goal in football is ten times more heroic than anything you could do in basketball, and yet noone is claiming its the better sport. Just because you don't understand what makes football exciting does not mean it isn't. Billions of people love football above any other sport, but because Americans don't like it, all of a sudden it lacks in excitemetn and heroism! Do everyone a favor and don't comment on you clearly don't understand.
Football is not a sport where anyone can watch and be entertained. I disagree with you, I've watched games in which I have nothing invested, and found them incredible matches.
damn, again with the officials. You're complaining about officiating in football as a reason for American's disliking it, when officiating in basktball is as bad or even worse! and its ten times easier to officiate in basketball!
Look, you had a couple of bad calls this world cup, I agree, but it has nothing to do with respect or wether FIFA wants the US to "feel welcome"
I think the main reason American's don't like football is because they have never been godo at it. American's are only interested in things they can be good at. Ex: (albeit a lame one) Women's football never got coverage until they started winning championships, before then noone knew, or could give a about women's football. Most American's don't have loyalty towards your squads, its either they do well, and then you support them, or they don't exist plain and simple.
if so, then I fell for it, its just that I've been listening to the same sort of bull from other American friends, its just gets tiring.
The ref in the Australia/Croatia game has lost his goddamned mind.
Euro refs suck ass!
that was by far the worst reffing i saw in a while...
2 missed penalties, wierd ass decisions, how many yellow cards did Simunic have?
well, at least Brazil is still in...
Italy 2-0 Czechs
Ghana 2-1 USA
Croatia 2-2 Australiaalthough I predicted the draw
Brazil 4-1 Japan :yupi THAT'S CORRECT
I just saw the best game of WC. Damn Coatia lost it, but the fight was unbelivable sometimes - 4 red cards and some controversy at the end of the gamejust
guy has 2 was meant to get off, then he gets another one = 3
yeah that was funny
How does the ref didnt thrown him from this game?
Bump for MaNuMaNiA
Look at Mexico's last 8 head-to-head matches with Brasil. I could be wrong but I believe we have beat them more times in that same span than Argentina.
The problem with Mexico is that they always play to the level of their opposition. Be it Italy or Martinica... Brasil or Jamaica... Mexico can't seem to play at a consistent level.... that's where they lack class. Argentina always plays like Argentina (meaning they always play like they know they will win).
Ever since Mexico beat them in the Confederations Cup Final in 1999 Brasil has had trouble with Mexico. They still can beat us when it matters, there's no denying that... but Mexico has been a bigger thorn on Brasil's side lately...
Of course in this World Cup I acknowledge Mexico is playing like crap... In fact, I congratulated the Argentineans on their sure win next week... and actually find it surprising that they made it out of group play in spite of LaVolpe's stubborness.

Ok, it's official: Guus > God
That's about right
thanks, I didn't realise you had posted about that. Those statistics are somewhat interesting, though it would also be interesting to see how many of those recent Mexico wins came against a Brasil team fielded with their main stars and not with their backups. I know the recent Confederations Cup one is legit, Mexico played a good game.
P.S. I wouldn't be so sure about Argentina winning on Saturday. Let's put it this way, "on any given Saturday"anything can happen. I wish you good luck.
Didn't someone here predict a 4:1 score in the Brasil Japan game???
One thing I wanted to mention was that Cuahutemoc Blanco was one of the major reasons behind many of those wins... but alas, he is not on this year's squad.

Yeah - me.
You've put me on ignor list or what?

Man, the refs are blowing so much in this Cup.
the refs are as rigged as nba refs....
n i wonder what australia will get once fifa examines that croatian defender dude who had unlimited yellow cards.
Do you feel that understanding for footbal Manumania?
yes!
Aussie Aussie Aussie,
Gotta go to work but I will say a few things,
Goalie sucked tonight...
How many penalties should Australia had? 3?
The hold on Viiduka, the one that was called, and the handball in the box. Ridiculous.
Wtf happened with the yellow cards at the end? 3 for one player? Wow.
Guus is a genious, seriously!
Croatia shouldn't have gone back to an all defensive layout, they looked much more dangerous when in a blanaced attack, and Australia had trouble controlling there offense.
I was watching the news (Spanish) and saw the reaction Costa Rica's team got. It's not like fans at the airport after the Spurs were eliminated... it's more like heads are about to roll
In Poland they were pretty in' happy. Damn those player are lucky, if I was on the airport.........I was watching the news (Spanish) and saw the reaction Costa Rica's team got. It's not like fans at the airport after the Spurs were eliminated... it's more like heads are about to roll
