World Cup 2010 : South Africa

[MrFudge]

Problem, Ghana?

[Macsnow]

Problem, Ghana?

Good save. Cant wait till Holland - Uruguay. Uruguay gonna win...

[TheDrop]

but it does not take away from the fact that if Suarez didnt pretend goalkeeper that would have been a goal.

who knows, the ball might have hit the top bar. its the jabulani after all

You know what's not nice?

Wasting time when you are winning.
Kicking away the ball infront of the player who was going to play the foul.
Doing a foul on purpose when it's 3 vs your goalkeeper.
Wasting time in the corner at 90th minute.
Wasting time substituting 91st minute.
The goalkeeper wasting time by just waiting for an opponent to come to him so grabs it with his hand.
The pushing and shoving in freekicks and corners.
Diving.
Divers.
People who dive.
Getting a foul by diving.
Getting the guy booked by diving.

and you know what's crazy? ghana did all of those things in their match against the US.

[Pan_Raider(`_´)]

african football has to be redefined in order to dominate others,
they have good players, all of which posess dignified ball control and athletic physique,
but stuff like:
fouling when it's unnecessary(like van bommel),
playing stop-go style(safe but it doesn't make the pace pickup easily)
and not moving as an attacker when you don't have the ball are things that have to change in order to make the african teams more effective.
oh yeah and trying to cannonball every shot into the goal regardless of the distance won't work everytime, especially not with those balls.

Sure is supremecy in this thread.

[Jstar1]

can't tell whether the games this year should be described as unusual or just stupid

[Krevidy]

I smell Holland haters.
Haters be ha-BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I think the more unsportsmanlike display today was Robben flopping all over the place.

Cry me a river

And give me an example of a 100% sure dive. There just is none. Every time he fell there was contact at the very least. It's not a dive if there's real contact.

dude just because there is contact doesn't mean people fall down and roll in pain all the time. The fact that players dive from just a brush (or even no contact) is pathetic, and almost every player is going to take advantage of it. FIFA really needs to put in instant replay because the cheating among players and dumbshit refs are making the games go downhill. I mean look at how many canceled goals were there.

[TheDrop]

i dont know what to think of holland. I like sneijder but hate robben. And they play individualistic football too...but i dont want uruguay in the semis cause it will be obvious germany/argentina/spain will win...fck, why didn't brasil just beat holland -_-

[Jstar1]

fck, why didn't brasil just beat holland -_-

I'd rather have someone fresh getting to semis or finals, you know how boring it gets when the same old teams reach the finals all the time?

[Amelie]

@amelie; if you mean the penalty, uruguay's golie was down so suarez was acting like goalie, he blocked the first shot then he had to save the rebound with his hands :o

She meant the foul caused the free kick into the box

[Gladiator_RN]

LOL, that hand of god is the World Cup action of the year!

[Buddhist]

After this match plus that failure Holland first goal ...

Spoiler!

[TheDrop]

BTW for people calling Uruguay a cheat, consider this;
Ghana dived to get the freekick that caused the near-goal.
so yeah...cheaters get cheated

fck, why didn't brasil just beat holland -_-

Yes if the fresh team plays good football. for me holland don't do it (some others might think they play exciting football, thats their opinion)

@Amelie; ic ;p

Devil, it's just your opinion that Holland doesnt play good football. Millions think otherwise.
bai

lol i did say it was only my opinion ;p

Yes because Brazil was playing so 'samba-like'... oh wait their matches sucked even harder than the alleged boring matches of the Netherlands.
It was just some unfortunate matches with like 8+ defenders that made the Netherlands look less spectacular, but the Netherlands has always been known for their offensive well played style. It's not like we're Greece or something and only score out of corners for 1 tournament.

I really don't understand what it is with all you guys going emo over the Netherlands. We're a good team, we've always been. We have top tier players in every good team in Europe and we just deserve this.
Now let's focus on tomorrow's matches where we will see this tournament cleansed of almost all conmebol teams.

[Gladiator_RN]

Holland always used to play really really beatiful, and they always got knocket out of the cup cuz of that.

now they play a little less nice, but they win. and thats what counts

jaaaa!

Dom mag wel fan van Nederland zijn.
Als Crimson nou ook nog een rijmpje maakt en zijn banden verbreekt met Duitsland, dan kunnen Canada en Nederland er weer samen voor gaan

Hiep hoi!

At work we handle all customers for South and North America. One of our biggest markets is Brazil and we have a lot of Brazilians.

I put on a orange safety hazard vest and did the plane goal celebration thing - they did not like it.

I tried to buy one guy's Brazilian shirt too. Told him i'd give him $3 so he could go to the thrift shop and pick up a new t-shirt.

I love how they all sent me e-mails and text messages when Brazil went up 1-0 too.

Epic header by the 1.70M Wesley Sneijder!

[antics]

that brazil holland game was lame-.-
first brazil score a nice goal. then comes the dives from holland. untill they score their first goal thanks to a dive. a lucky goal it was. hollands 2nd goal was really nice beautiful even.
i think its time holland wins it. but not like this
