World Cup 2010 - one thread to rule them all

[GeoffP]

Yes! Yes! Yes! There is a God!

The Foot of God! Yes.

Now we can lose to the Germans, just like we always wanted. Bloody Jerries.

Conversely, the Americans won the group, which also proves the existence of Satan. (Stiff support for you dualists out there.)

love the allusion to the hand of god play

 

[Mr MacGillivray]

That whole group should have been taken out of the tournament. None of them deserve to continue to the next round.

 

[Anti-Flag]

Congratulations US. Last minute clinch and became the group leader...

30 seconds earlier in the England match I said "we'll live to regret pissing about with it in the corner". I fear Germany may prove me right as they look likely opponents next round.

Shh! If you keep saying it out loud, then everyone will know.

Why are you peeing on my happy moment?

 

[Cowboy]

Is America still eligible to play kickball?

I'm so terribly sorry. Are you Slovenian? Because they got my sympathy, despite that they probably did something horrid during WW2.

East Korean, actually. It's quite all right: we favour the same tastes in dull colours and cement-and-stucco interior decoration, and also recent communist repression. I've often asked to 'twin' with them, but they won't let us have any of theirs. Depressing, really.

 

[Trippy]

nice monolog you´re having there. just hope you´ll never disagree with yourself
the difference between the use of an elbow and some theatre is that only one of both things can hurt the opponent physically. complaining about diving italy as answer to my claim, that nz plays too rough, is a pretty childish discussing style. glad that you´ll have more time to improve that after nz next game, because it will be their last perfomance
enough time wasted ....

Seriously...

That's it?

Childish theatrics, insults, and a re-write of history in the face of facts?

The difference between a stray elbow, and a stray limb and the use of theatrics is that the elbow won't impeed the flow of the game, or prevent scoring opportunities.

You remind me of Gary Lineker's definition of football: a game where 22 men kick a ball between two halves, and in the end the Germans win.

Men (English men, anyway) only cry behind closed doors (Gazza being a notable exception), or once every four years, mid-July, about the same time England go out on penalties in the World Cup.

I hope England meet Germany in the next round, not that I would fancy England but at least it would provide both teams with a real challenge.

sometimes dreams come true

 

[sweet Pentax]

i really feel sorry for australia .... i wished that they´ll stay in the tournament. great spirit and they showed passion ... no wonder that they are #20 in fifa list.

 

[Enmos]

Alright, the new standings:

- Blue scores are represent 3 points for predicting the correct winner or draw.
- Red scores represent the above 3 points plus the additional 10 points for predicting the correct score.

I think I got everyones predictions here (I triple-checked), but if I missed something please let me know.


So.. the new hall of fame looks like this:

1. Enmos_______________60 points
2. Omega133____________38 points
3. Black Jack____________37 points
4. Kira_________________35 points
5. Sweet Pentax_________15 points
6. Wsionynw_____________6 points

I know, I hope for the upset but I suppose I should start making more safe predictions.
