World Cup 2010

England are playing as crap as EVER ,,,,cant beat the USA how depressing....football shall never come home with a crap team like this...i thought we got rid of the wags to get them to work harder.

the fact the commentators are now talking like drawing with the USA is an achievements says it all >.> not chance in hell.

 

that sums up why we cant win it. Rubbish goalkeeper, no good wingers, only one good striker. No disrespect to the USA, but we should be beating teams like that, if we have any pretensions of winning the whole thing. Sadly spain and brail are in a different league to us. In fact theyre playing a different sport!

my only consolation is that we drew the first match in '66...clutching at straws here lol

 

It's the ref's job to see misconduct and call it out. For whatever reason they missed it and France got in. You shouldn't hold that against them.

 

Made me laugh :icon_bigg

 

Hey everyone! I'm Dutch.

Guess where Denmarks going to be doing...NOT WINNING!

Not when we have a hunk like Robben on the team. Mmmm...Dutch goodness.

 

Nopes..
They won because Australia (poor darlings!) couldn't find themselves. I personally don't know how they scored. They missed obvious opportunities that a simple face palm wouldn't be enough to express them. After that they had a very boring game.

Boring games goes to any team so far.. all the games i've seen have been b-o-r-i-n-g!!
I'm disappointed so far. :dry:

 

Yeah with you there, Would need to see Germany over there next game or two to see if there good or Australia are just bad.

Denmark against Holland was extremely poor from what i was expecting. Just as well they have there looks because there football ability is lacking at the moment.

 

I just gave up watching the game. Holland not living up to my expectations.

 

I do hold it against them. Henry deliberately used his hand. Just because the ref didn't see it doesn't excuse it.

And i don't know why everyone is worrying about Holland. They won, despite not playing very well, and despite not having their best player on the pitch. Its much better to start slowly and improve than start brilliantly and trail off. Very few teams ever win the whole thing playing brilliantly.

Look at 06, Italy were rubbish to start with!

 

I don't think anyone is doubting there ability to win the tournament just the quality of football has not been to eye catching so far.

 

World Cup often has quite boring games, especially the first games because teams are afraid to lose. But what is making these ultra-boring is those damn vuvuzelas. Watching on TV you get ZERO atmosphere from the game, just the stupid drone.

I'm all for the banning of them. Tradition be damned. If S Africa wants this cup to be seen as successful from worldwide eyes, at least let us see/hear some atmosphere.

Oh, so far, most impressive team: No one really. Least impressive: Australia. They just downright imploded.

 

Exactly!

Holland won? See, i didn't even knew that.


[off topic] I seem to be the only girl in this thread..[/offtopic]

 

i tell this to everyone and they laugh .. im with Algeria lol

*doesnt feel like posting but still presses the button and leaves thread*

 

To be honest, The Netherlands vs Denmark is not going to be an exciting game. The Netherlands we're obviously going to win it. Hahaha!

On the other hand, if I'm going to wake up early in the morning AT LEAST have some excitement for me!

 

what? don't you hear the atmosphere

the worst thing is that this isn't even really a tradition. the original vuvuzela might be. but not trumping plastic trumpets in the soccer stadium.

 

I'm STILL seething because of stupid Green throwing away the USA match. Honestly, he's inconsistent and doesn't deserve to be on the squad.

I think I broke a few eardrums on Saturday because of that twat.
