the Swiss victory proves one thing, and that is negative defensive football is the way to win games. No matter how good Spain played it was going to be incredibly difficult for them to open up a 9 man defense. credit to the Swiss they defended with discipline.
Im sure if Spain played the same as Switzerland did they would have won the game. Just sit back and wait for a counter attack or set piece. but the Spanish just dnt play like that, and are actually one of the very few teams in this world who want to play positive football.
That group is now wide open cause Chile was really impressive, they were unlucky not to beat Honduras by 5 goals, Sanchez was dope. I still think Spain will qualify but it could be that they finish 2nd in their group and set up a possible second round tie with Brazil.
Uruguay were good, and it was a penalty even though it was the smallest of touches the goalie still brought Suarez down. It werent like SA were robbed either cause they werent gonna win the game, they were pretty shit. dnt see them making out the group.

props for the info rama !!!!!!!!!!!!
:thumbup:
Really n .korea is one messed up country.
looking forward to argentina v south korea....Like I have said previously in this thread... my money is on argentina !!!!...I saw a programme that was showing how teams got to the world cup in s.a and on the episode I watched they profiled argentina... really argentina struggled in the qualifiers and Im really surprised maradonna wasn`t sacked...if that was any other coach they would have got the axe.
With that said, I think argentina have somthing to prove in this world cup, and will go all out for maradonna, to prove his critics wrong...I believe if they click they will be a very potent force...because most of there players are youngish and hungry.
I hope they put on a good display against south korea to send out a warning , but ultimately I just hope there are no spain like surprises.
peace be with you !
yep :mmmyah:Quote:

will have problems
i wouldnt be surprised if s.korea and argentina tie tomorrow
watch everyone tie tomorrow
south korea will beat or tie with argentina.
the way argentina played against nigeria showed a team that wasn't what its hype proclaims while south korea plays the type of disciplined game with team work and tenacity that would be the end of argentina
they should have blown out nigeria with how hard we were sucking in the first half, but didn't
also those fucking south african horns are the shit lol.
Took the guy out? He barely touched him, suarez dived.Quote:

I still wasn`t a 100% happy with there game...south korea played well and almost got back into it...I kinda feel sorry for them.
Seriously the quality of the goals in this world cup is really poor...they are average at best.
u.s.a 94 was and still is the best world cup of modern times.
peace be with you !
The greeks suck, they only started playing after they cheated and got kaita out. Fags.
I hope Taiwo scores.
I hope mexico kicks some french ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love maradona even more for saying the french are arrogant bastards!!

They stole their way into the world cup, so they deserve to get the fuck out as early as possible.
when have they ever been better than the italians? count the stars on the jersey muthafucka! france shouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence as us!Quote:

hahahaha nice
They just proved Ireland deserved to be there a hundred times more.
Cap, I meant they're no better in the sense that they're cheating punks. Because, lets be honest, Italians are the masters at cheating.
ok give me an example of CHEATING.Quote:

they just didnt look bothered at all. too many high paid players who didnt give a shit. the Mexicans fully deserved the game. cant recount how many times a mexican just breezed by a french player without any real challenge.
Argentina were awesome today.
Nigeria can blame Kaita for their loss. they were dominating the game and could have won easily. Kaita shouldnt have raised his leg like that, in modern football he should know that touch another player and they are gonna go down like they been shot. case in point with the Greek player, epic play acting.
South Korea should go through in this group.
Kaita displayed some major undiscipline so common for african players.
I hope that south american teams will dominate in later phases of the tournament.
i agree, what a dumbass.Quote:

they had it in the bag. their defense was doing a great job.
I don't agree, you can't blame a player for reacting that way, "major undiscipline"?! why cause he reacts a human way? The only one to blame is the greek for diving.
Like, Cap, thats to me an exemple of cheating, provoking a player, putting on an act to make him believe you want to fight, and then going down the second he touches you. Like Materazzi did to Zidane, he provoled him till Zidane hit him and received a red card.
And another example, a better one. During Scotland/Italy, the last game for the qualifications to the Euro 2008, Italy robbed the qualification to the Scottish. I don't remember which player dived, which led to a free kick, which led to the winning goal being scored.
Because if it still needs to be said, diving is cheating.
CHICHORITO TIME
Im actually in mexico right now, watched the game in local bar. good shit. france fucking pathetic bunch of players. they dont care. overrated players, too.
South African Vuvuzela Philharmonic Angered By Soccer Games Breaking Out During Concerts
JUNE 17, 2010 | ISSUE 46•24
JOHANNESBURG—Members of the South Africa Vuvuzela Philharmonic Orchestra, widely considered to be among the best large-scale monotonic wind instrument ensembles in the world, told reporters Friday they were furious over the recent outbreaks of international soccer matches during their traditional outdoor concerts.
"I cannot imagine what is getting into these football teams that they would suddenly begin full-scale international competition just when we are beginning our 2010 concert series," said Dr. Stefan Coetzee, the Philharmonic's program and concert director. "It is disrespectful to the performers, it is disrespectful to the music itself, and by extension, it is disrespectful to the great nation of South Africa."
Spontaneous high-caliber soccer games have thus far plagued every orchestral vuvuzela performance of the season, which opened June 11 at Cape Town Stadium. As musicians took their places in the stands and began warming up for the evening's performance of lighter pieces by post-minimalist composers, they noticed the audience was not sitting in its traditional place in the stadium's central area.
As the Philharmonic learned later, its only spectators were the national football sides of France and Uruguay, who played to a 0-0 tie as the frustrated vuvuzela virtuosi played a full program of concerti written for the distinctive straight plastic horn.
"A virtually empty house is highly unusual in a vuvuzela-mad nation such as South Africa," said first-chair vuvuzela player Moses Mtegume, who is known as the "Father of the Vuvuzela" and considered a national treasure. "And because concerts are held in the round—the better to appreciate the sonorous tonality of the massed instruments—a performer gets a sense of the crowd early."
"It doesn't even seem like these football players are paying attention to us," Mtegume added. "In fact, I would go so far as to say they are trying to ignore us."
The following days, during which a string of large-scale vuvuzela performances were held, saw the unusual events repeat in Johnnesburg, Durban, Pretoria, and Port Elizabeth as audience after audience was driven away by FIFA national football teams. As a result, the South Africa Vuvzela Philharmonic, which is supported solely by money from ticket sales, has suffered staggering losses financially. And the musicians, many of whom trained for years and underwent a harrowing audition process to earn one of the orchestra's 50,000 seats, said the biggest blow was to their professional pride.
"Do you know how difficult it is to get everyone situated, tuned, and focused for a vuvuzela concert?" said Julliard-trained vuvuzelist Donald Frederick Gordon, a noted soloist and renowned performer whose boyhood dream of playing vuvuzela in every stadium in South Africa is now at risk. "These brash, inconsiderate outbursts of impromptu athletics have made us a laughingstock of the international music community. We have already had cancellations from the Vienna Boy's Choir and guest director Seiji Ozawa, who no doubt fear for their reputation should the Philharmonic continue to be mocked by these incongruous sportsmen."
In order to save its concert season, the orchestra has scheduled a special benefit concert for July 11 at Johannesburg's Soccer City Stadium. The orchestra will be accompanied by 8,000 special guest vuvuzela players from Ghana and the Ivory Coast, and the concert program will include the debut of new single-tone compositions by Philip Glass, Arvo Pärt, and vuvuzela fan Mark Mothersbaugh.
The musicians said they are thrilled to be performing in the nation's most prominent stadium, which is capable of holding up to 12,500 standing concertgoers in its grassy central section.
"This will be a vuvuzela tour de force the likes of which the world has never seen," Dr. Coetzee said. "We are very close to an agreement with Placido Domingo, who we're confident will show us how the greatest living tenor sings the B-flat-below-middle-C that makes the vuvuzela so magical. It will truly be a night for the ages, with, we hope, no sign of football rivals battling it out for global supremacy where the audience should be."
"We've already sold a couple dozen tickets to people in Brazil and Argentina," Dr. Coetzee added. "Mark my words, on July 11, the eyes and ears of the world will be on South Africa."
haha thats brilliant.
he knows what he's talking aboutQuote:
