Nicklab Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I can only imagine how German fans are reacting to this morning's game. I've only heard some reports, but apparently there were an usually high number of yellow cards handed out. AND by one of the most respected referee's in the world.

Phil W Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 That was an awful, awful England performance. So much money...so overrated! Why do we hype them so? http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklab Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Group C is looking much more like Group Zzzzzzz with all of these draws.

Phil W Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 We are used to draws over here, we even have a sport (cricket) where the majority of the matches are draws and some take 4 days. I thought the US-Slovenia looked a very exciting draw though, whereas the England-Algeria draw was one of the dullest matches ever. A goal by either team to win it would hardly have improved it as a spectacle however. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil W Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 so pleased both England and the US made it. I didn't get to watch: I was at a Maths tournament with my school. We came first in that. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I was just relieved that the US didn't wind up getting bounced out because of two horrible calls disallowing goals. That offsides call early in this one was awful - not as outrageous as the "phantom foul" from the Slovenia match, but pretty stink-a-riffic - and were it not for an opportune rebound in minute 91, FIFA would have an angry mob beating down their doors after these consecutive egregious calls against the US team. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklab Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Amazing resilience by the American side this morning. That Landon Donovan goal was astounding! But to let it get down to a stoppage time goal? I thought my heart was going to stop. And then to go on and win group C? I'm genuinely shocked. I can't believe I'll miss USA V Ghana on saturday (more on that later). But I will definitely be dvr'ing the match. Obligatory Social Media Link "My concern is, and I have to, uh, check with my accountant, that this might bump me into a higher, uh, tax..."

Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Michele, at least the Italians carried themselves with a little class and decorum. I mean, really, the coach can't go out and shake hands with the head coach of the host nation while the entire planet is documenting every single dysfuntion already? Sheesh!

Davo-London Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Yeah that was disgraceful. But then at the last world cup Zidane head-butted another player in his last ever game of professional football.

Davo-London Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I have learnt something really odd. Folk from Bangladesh (East of India) really adore Brazil and Argentina's teams. So during the last world cup, when Brazil were playing in the semi-final there was a power-cut in Bangladesh. The people rioted and went mental.

rumpelstiltskin. Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 well, the ball won't stay down. i have trouble believing all the best players in the world have suddenly forgotten how to get over the ball when firing a strike. but at least it affects both sides. we can all agree the officiating has been terrible. almost as terrible as the US starts to games. ah, well. robb. because i like people.

rumpelstiltskin. Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 i'm surprised spain beat germany, though in hindsight it makes a lot of sense. suddenly spain is now the favorite to win on sunday. but i'm still rooting for holland. i've spent more time there than any other country except the US. i like the people. robb. because i like people.

Nicklab Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I've got to go with Spain here. Overcoming an amazing German team like they did was incredible. Especially after Germany systematically took apart Argentina. All this, despite my father having worked for a Dutch company...20 years ago.

Phil W Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 My Dutch neighbour has wangled a ticket and is heading out there! Me though, I'm supporting Spain through and through, lots of Spanish friends including two singers I work with and such a stunningly beautiful passing style at best. Great defence too! It would be my dream to see Derby, England or my school team play a style of football like that sometime in my life. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
