Although they won, I am still not impressed with the Mexican style of play.
Tomorrow will be a big day.
Germany vs. Serbia
Slovenia vs. USA
England vs. Algeria
Can I repeat myself??
"Of course you can, Van"
Go ENGLAND Go!!!
cheekiest grin .... nodding ... and maybe I will even drink a Guiness in the lawyers lounge at noon!!
Good fighting by the US, that 3rd goal seemed legit so the referee robbed them off a victory.

USA was robbed of the victory. The ref handed out some questionable yellow cards as well.
It's going to be hard for the USA now because they need Algeria to beat England and then they need to beat Algeria. Time to get lucky.
I thought the Spain match the other day was pretty entertaining. They lost and I was mad but there was a lot of action and some nice footwork. The boot to the face was pretty nice but it was a big letdown when they didn't bring out the staple gun for my enjoyment.
The Germany game was a disaster. All of those yellow cards were completely uncalled for. Now they have to go the next game without Klose. I'm still a little pissed, but Podolski losing his shirt in the end made my day. I know it made Rocco's day too.
USA was a mess but they made up for it in the end. Too bad I lost power in the middle of the second half.
I'm waiting for the England game. Hopefully they can keep their shit together better than the other teams.
Even the announcers were furious about that match.
I'm going to watch Denmark tomorrow because you guys said it was a good team.
Oh dear, I just saw the England result. They need to win their last game, against the top team in the group.
I'm glad I stopped watching the England game after the first half. Absolutely horrible.
Well, my fellow Dutchies don't play impressive football either but they've managed to win both games. Besides us only Argentina managed to win the first 2 games as well so I'm happy about the 6 points.
In the longstanding tradition we used to play the best football at each tournament but always get eliminated in the knock-out phase. Let's hope our current team will continue to get good results and perhaps slowly improve their play on the pitch.

Good thing it was Sneijder that scored too. Build some confidence for one of your key players.
I'm not a big football fan (You use your feet, it's football!), but I have been enjoying the World Cup. Some of the matches have been very exciting, although some of the calls (USA/Slovenia) have been questionable.
I didn't realize RSA got that cold in the winter.
I still say that ball is hard to handle. Look at how it floats. Even the announcers said the crosses are going 20 meters past where they usually go. Germany played with short, ground passes and was able to control it better.
Brazil plays tomorrow. So does Italy.
HAHAHA @ Italy!!!
Losers!

The media is having their orgasm because Italy TIED with New Zealand. Big deal; everyone knew Italy was having problems all year, especially Juventus fans. England and USA are, too.
Now onward to the Brazil game, which starts in an hour.
it seems that it's mostly South American countries in the lead in most groups...
Brazil Ivory Coast. That 2nd goal had Fabiano use his arms twice before scoring so it shouldn't have been allowed.
Then Kaka went dumb dumb at the end and got involved in some fun riots on the field. Ah well, he didn't play that welll anyway so no big loss if he misses the final group game versus Portugal.

I hate Brazil sometimes. Did you notice how many times Brazilian players rolled around on the ground like they had been shot after the 75th minute? They always time waste in big games.
I don't know if they showed it on the broadcast you watched but after fabiano's handball and goal the ref went up to him and asked him if he used his arm and Fabiano shook his head no. If the ref didn't see it then how would he know to ask him? Bullshit coward ref. The ref even laughed it up with fabiano after he asked him.
I feel bad for Ivory coast I really wanted them to sucker punch Brazil. I hope someone else does in the round of 16.
Oh yeah, LOL at Italy.
They were givin a gift of a penalty that wasn't. They should have lost. They better hope the refs give them a few more gifts so they can have a chance in the next game.
I was wondering about that too painter, getting eliminated like that would hurt so much. I have a feeling that in FIFA's "random" draw it will be Italy that would get lucky.
As for the French team, I think that they will regret acting the way they did about a month after the cup. World cup only comes around twice for most players. Three times if they are one of the best their country has had. Yes their coach is a dumb shit but at least play hard for your country.
I read that the French coach sometimes picks his lineup according to the players astrological signs. That would be really frustrating as a player.
