Topic: 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread

@Machu...I do hope I haven't offended thee. It is just good natured ribbing.

I am loving the World Cup so far too...my kids, not so much. I have taken over the TV and they are none too happy!

Don't worry dude I thought it was funny. _{damn you!} Anyway, it's not half as bad as how the English press have been treating him.

Today is the day!! Brazil is going to destroy N Korea!! It's so sweet, Brazil World Cup matches are like holidays here, no body works (except for bartenders, waiters, etc...) or goes to school and there are huge parties in the street! I can't wait to get into the sports club and watch the match!! Today the world will see real football!

@MERG Awesome avatar.

@Machu...I assumed the press would tear him apart. We all know the British press isn't always kind.

@Aviator...thanks! I would love to have it be an animated Avator of the whole Green screw up...er, Dempsey goal.

What did everyone think of the Italy / Paraguay game?

I thought it was great! Until Italy tied up the game... Oh well, a tie is better than a win.

Damn...the kiwis just tied it up in stoppage time. Whoah!

That was a good goal by the kiwi's. A few seconds to go, lucky.

Good game that, the next one should be awesome. I'll be cheering the Ivory Coast on obviously. Portugal are a threat, we need them out asap.

I do hope we see some magic from Ronaldo though. I still love him. <3

@Machu...how is Portugal a threat to you? You are assuming that England will get through this round.

Of course I'm assuming England will be in the next round, just like I assumed England would beat the US. Ergh...

And we all know about what happens when you assume...

/me ignores MERG's attempts at incitement.

OMG Ronaldo hit the post, twas a beauty! I bet he'll be bale to do sick things with this ball.

GO IC!

I'm tryin' Machu!

I'll tell you...the World Cup is really affecting my work productivity and my gaming.

DAMMIT! ESPN3 is not working for me now...I CAN'T SEE THE GAME!!!!

10 links to the game. Trial and error. But you may get lucky.

Thanks but it looks like IE doesn't work for those links and sadly I am still using IE as my browser.

Not to sound too much like a noob but what is the significance of this particular match (if there is any)?

I think it's just because Brazil is in their group, so they're kinda fighting for their lives now since Brazil likely won't lose.
