Brad Posted June 19, 2010 Report Posted June 19, 2010 And Cameroon has the dubious honor of being the first team eliminated of this competetion. So far African teams have yet to be inspired by playing on their own continent. Japan-Danemark will decide the other team that will go t the next round The Danes will need another win since a tie won't be enough. Are you sure about that? Right now there is no goal differential between Denmark and Japan. However, Denmark have scored more goals. So, if they tie, doesn't Denmark go through on that basis? Results so far: Netherlands 2, Denmark 0 Japan 1, Cameroon 0 Netherlands 1, Japan 0 Cameroon 1, Denmark 2 Denmark's goal difference is -1 (2-3), while Japan's is 0 (1-1), so if they draw Japan will advance to the last 16 (rules, post #165) Yes, I just realized that Denmark had lost 2 nil. For some reason, I thought that it was only 1 nil. Based on what I saw today, I hope Denmark advance. Japan is just sterile. Quote
Tim McG Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 I lost interest when the USA team got screwed out of a legit goal vs. Slovania. It is fairly obvious that the European/International refs cheat. Advantage: Anybody but America. The World Cup is anti-American bullshit. Fuck the World Cup. Quote

It is fairly obvious that the European/International refs cheat. Advantage: Anybody but America. The World Cup is anti-American bullshit. Fuck the World Cup. Yeah, that must be it. The World Cup, with its long and illustrious history, is nothing more than "anti-American bullshit." Yep, the event the entire world (except for Canada and the US, although that's changing) looks forward to every four years is simply a celebration of everything un-American. I can see it now... each and every one of those 2 BILLION+ people who will watch the final will do so by burning the American flag and chanting "death to the infidels." None of them will be tuning in to watch the beautiful game, nosiree... they're just going to watch as a way to stick it to Uncle Sam one more time. Oh, and all those referees will be dancing a jig of joy in the realization that they've "cheated" the US out of the tournament. Tim, you really need to get a grip sometimes. Either use the logical side of your brain, or stay out of the deep end of any conversation regarding a topic you clearly know nothing about. Cheers, Shane Quote
Indestructible! Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 OK, back to some positivity... I'm really looking forward to the Brazil vs. Cote d'Ivoire game tomorrow. I'm hoping the game opens up a bit more than the Portugal vs. Cd'I chess match, and that Drogba gets the start (or plays more than the 25 minutes he had). Cheers, Shane Quote

He's back - firing off the same post at two forums. Look, Indestructible! you just gotta join the dots. OF COURSE the World Cup is anti-American. For the very simple reasons that 1. American is the centre of the universe; and 2. American is the greatest country in the world. The US has been one of the under dog teams I've been cheering for - along with (obviously) Australia, but also NZ and all the rest of 'em. I can happily drop the US now, though, coz the cavalry's arrived! Edited June 20, 2010 by kenny weir Quote
Brad Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 Can we get somebody to delete that stupid post and while he's at it maybe the poster can....oh, never mind, why sink to his level. Quote
Van Basten II Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 Because refs are screwing up only in futbol, if they had more officials like Jim Joyce the game would be so much better Quote

kenny weir Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 Ahhhh ... cilly Sunday afternoon. Reading a SWEDISH cop book. Watching AUSTRALIAN football - league, AFL. Nice and warm ... But in the interests of further anti-American solidarity, I may have to switch from alternating deep soul and western swing to ... oh, I dunno ... Reggae? Township jive? Brit jazz? Decisions, decisions ... Quote

Indestructible! Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 LMAO...That is the funniest thing I've read in a long, long while. A deep end in the conversation about this obviously flawed/corrupt world cup ..that is funny and the poster/Shane should heed his own advice. Ah Danny, you make me laugh! Is it wet or dry season for you these days, I can never remember? Regardless, let me say ***CLASP***! And, sorry to hear about our Cortland friend... he was a good guy. Cheers, Shane Quote

brownie Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Posted June 20, 2010 Rather enjoyed the Denmark-Cameroon match, specially the first half! Sorry to see Cameroon eliminated from the WC but their defense seemed out of shape by the second half and could not cope with the Danish fighting spirit. Quote
thelbc Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) Man, is this a dead thread. The World Cup is like USA rookie baseball. No High Def, no Instant Replay...Refs on the take. Whomever let South Africa host this travesty...Bring back Rugby!!!!!!!!!! Really, disgusting from everything I've heard from those who are there! Every team is LOCKED DOWN...TIGHT.!! THEY CANNOT WAIT TO LEAVE!! OBAMA wanted to go....what a disgrace!!! Why is it M. Jordan, Jabbar, Bird and Kobe, etc can be treated with respect,but the SA's want to kill these soccer players and their fans? Edited June 20, 2010 by TheLBC Quote

brownie Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Posted June 20, 2010 People! Enough of this! It's only soccer This thread is beginning to look like the dressing room of the WC French team and that's the last place I want to be right now Quote

It's only soccer This thread is beginning to look like the dressing room of the WC French team and that's the last place I want to be right now By many reports, the Aussie and English dressing rooms have hardly been picture of harmony, either Kenny, who said, "to hell with cooking, INDIAN or otherwise", so hopped in his car and headed for his regular VIETNAMESE pho joint.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 Need I say more. No. Best thing now would be for you and a few others to tone it down. If you're yanked off about the WC, go watch the US Open and root for Dustin Johnson. Posts full of personal attacks are going to be thrown from the train like Julius Harris in 'Live & Let Die' Quote
Van Basten II Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 Paraguay is turning into maybe the best team of the group, although Slovakia made them look good, anyway this is not the negative team we saw when their star was the keeper Chilavert. Playing the Kiwis next they will a shot for the first place of the group. Quote
