was that with that hand ball thing? I pissed off a french guy the otherday I said I liked the new garlic cheese walkers crips but Im ashamed cos there french and a french guy gave me a dirty look XP.
England not the UK. Scots and Welsh have their own teams and wouldnt be happy getting their teams mixed up.:p The USA goal was so funny but I felt bad for the keeper, the English newspapers will never let him live it down. I hope the USA do well, they have some good players and I have them in a world cup sweepstake in work
It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings
But yes Im sure they will win
I hope England stay in it for a while (because their matches mean good parties here!), but of course my loyalty lies with the Aussies.
I hope they don't, so they close once and for all the stupid Maradona Church. No, really, they have, like, the worst Argentinian Team since the start of the history of Argentinian Teams. If they needed the Chilean Team won a match so they can clasificate, forget it!
This is somewhat stupid, and it's, but, I hope Spain doesn't clasificate to second round, so they will stop to name their Team "La Roja", because, We did it first!
Nah...
No, that means they consider the US as a B-Grade Team and they can't lose againt a B-Grade team, ya' know? It's not worth extra points for the US, is worth less points for them.
Ok, the only actual thing I know about the World Cup is the Chilean Team, compared to the rest, is bad, but we hope they get to the 2nd Round ^^! And Bielsa is downright crazy.
4-0 to Germany now!
I HAVE FURY!
Well as someone pointed out, England isn't the UK, so try and get it right. As a Scotsman, it would be a crime to say I supported England, but I don't anyway so it doesn't matter.
It's not some sort of petty reason like rivalry or because Scotland isn't in it, it's because of the English commentators and press and their god. damn. arrogance. They already act like they are in the final, the write off teams (like USA) and they don't stop going on about '66. Yes, we get it, you won, congratulations, now shut up about it seriously.
Wait: Argentina vs England. THAT had to be epic.
I hear you man! I don’t think I would mind as much if it wasn’t for the commentators and press but also 800 years of oppression doesn’t help:rolleyes: It really gets on my nerves. All I have to say is USA USA USA!!! I hope they win the group
I know. According to Justin Beiber you don't use the word "German" in America so expecting you to get non American countries right might be asking too much :P
Same here. And there's a lame bar always full of drunk supporters about 50 feet from where i live :eek:
I hate sports.
The thing that pisses me off isn't really the noise, tho, just the fact that suddenly it seems like NOTHING else is happening in the world but the stupid game.
Captain's personal log, supplemental. We're heading toward World Cup elimination at maximum warp.
I can't get anyone to do anything for the next few weeks unless it involves a pub and a plasma TV.
Oh yeah, that's annoying too. And every time someone talks to you at school, work, or everywhere you start a conversation even with a stranger, that's what they talk about. At first I'm always "Mmh? What?" because I don't follow sports but pretty soon, without watching anything and while trying to avoid talking about it, I know who did what when and when the next game is and so on.
Same here, believe it or not. But, anyway, I learned a lot of time ago is better not avoid it and try to follow the conversation.
Thank godness here the matches are so early you can get the people do something different after the matches are over. The problem is going to be pretty much celebrate the match. Even is not Chile's.
To be honest I'm more happy about Super Mario Galaxy 2 being released, GO YOSHI!
Anyway, was anyone wathcing the game on ITVHD? They crashed at the worst moment possible!
It was actually quite funny at the time!
This. Only replace "France" with "England". Actually, I'm already in England, so remove that clause altogether and replace "hoped" with "hope", "they'd" with "England will" and "could" with "can".
Uh, this.
And it doesn't consume us here the way the Rugby World Cup does (because we at least have a shot at winning that, even though we always crash out).
Soccer games are on between about 11:30pm and 7:00am, so it doesn't really interfere with daily life, except some people may be a little more tired than usual due to getting a couple of hours less sleep than normal.
I don't know any site in English which transmites the thing. I got the TVN one with the tweets of my friends ^^!
Edit: Looks like ESPN is offering live streaming, too! Aaand ... New Zealand is playing at 4 in the morning ...
It's just that these Vuvuzelas get on my nerves and i quite don't understand why they are allowed at all, too loud, distracting noise, no fan feedback, they seem to be bad for the game as well as it prevents communication and stresses some players, they have no african tradition, just some from america imported rubbish. I also don't understand why at least the TV stations don't filter that noise out on their own.
I enjoy reading through the foreign press about certain games, as it's interesting to see how different views sometimes can be.
The world cup four years ago here was great. All those foreign people and colours. We had some nice convivial gatherings with Brazilian and Argentinian in the city, also when they lost their games.
