    Re: World Cup 2010

    New Zealand is about as low as you can get as far as soccer is conserned in the WC yet look at what they are doing. Yeh reffs can ruin a game or two but if your team has some talent and heart they got a chance to advance.

      Come on man. The World Cup seems to have a history of bullxxxx refereeing decisions. For the greatest game in the world and the biggest sporting event, it is a bit of a joke (the refs).

      NZ vs Italy is not a good example. Questionable goal by NZ and a bs penalty for Italy to make up for it.

        Sure refs suck sometimes as they do in all other sports. Their only human and i am sure some are on the take. But you also need to consider how many matches are being played. A couple of games with a bad call are not gona ruin a tournament this big. The world cup is my favorit sporting event period. I only wish Armenia would qualify sometimes.

          The imperialist powers of USA and England advance to the second round. Atleast the USA team deserved it.

            Grats to the yanks. Enger-land played ok, hopefully they will show they deserved it in the game against Chermany.

            Australia did us proud in that last match. The first game against the Germans killed us and that is why we are going home.

              USA should've beat Ghana
              Donovan played excellent

              Did you see how Ghana was wasting time?
              the refs should'nt have allowed that

                Gabriel Heinze nailed by camera, fights back

                As Argentina huddled in celebration of Gonzalo Higuain's goal to put them up 2-0 on Mexico, the cameraman went in for an extreme close-up right behind defender Gabriel Heinze, who gave his teammates a gleeful speech. He was not, however, aware of the camera behind him, so when he broke from the huddle, smiling big and wide, he viciously smashed the side of his face on the peeping device. Quickly angered by this, he instinctively reacted by slapping the spit out of that camera as a warning to never get so close again. But those cameras never do learn.

                    Surprising.

                    I'm not the biggest Brazil fan, but they played much better than Netherlands. They were more consistent with their ball handling and had better looks.

                    I think Argentina's going to take it this year, although I'd love to see Spain win.

                      Brazil dominated for 45 minutes but in the second half they lost their composure and you can pretty much blame it on one player, Melo. 10-man Brazil put on an impressive effort but they were done.

                      There has been a war of words between them and the Argentinians that has made the headlines these days. A few German players criticised the Argentinians for not knowing how to take a loss and playing dirty. This goes back to 2006 when Germany beat Argentina on penalty kicks and eliminated them. There was an ensuing brawl with fist fights, shoving etc. Maradonna responded by mocking Shweinsteiger by saying "are you nervoushhhh?" LOL.

                      Should make for an interesting match, it is the best one on paper so far!
