stocker has an argentina shirt he proudly weard the day after arengeitna lose

[element1151]

I was going to get a Holland shirt, but they lost pretty quick. Oh well, maybe Euro '08.

[element1151]

What gets me is that the person that is fouled doesn't take the PK. Doesn't make any sense to me what-so-ever.

My question/suggestion hasn't been addressed by anyone... <_>

 

You guys see my point? I mean when Shaq gets fouled, Wade doesn't get to shoot the free throws...

[schillingouttheks]

Oh, I just thought it was a statement. But yes, I agree with you. It really doesn't make sense.

[yeszir]

That way they aren't enticed to foul more often against the not-so-great penalty kickers, because otherwise Zidane will come in and rip you a new one.

In defense of floppers

 

We should get Klinnsman. He's fun, offensive-minded when we SO needed that in this tournament, and most importantly he expects a lot out of his players. And since he lives in the U.S., the commute is much more favorable.

i think if the midfielders carried knives or bats it would add an element of excitement thats sorely missing in this event.

this event seems to captivate all the guys who werent good or tuff enough or were denied permission by their mamas to play football.

 

this sport will never ever make it in this country

outside of babysitting the snot nosed children of the soccer moms i really dont see much use for it at all.

 

we do have some ideas however

 

perhaps a firing squad set up for those who offend instead of these gay yellow cards

perhaps make a flopper wear a yellow shirt that id's him as a coward and brand him with the letter F on his forehead??

 

turn the refs who blow a call over to the offended teams fan section

that should make the game a bit fairer instead of the crap that currently goes on

 

and for the life of me

why do they end the game on penalty kicks!!

0-0 for 120 minutes and the game ends on penalty kicks?

 

f***ing disgraceful

 

is it any wonder why the usa is the only superpower left?

So you're saying that other sports don't have questionable attempts to gain an advantage? All officials call what they see, so sell it brother, sell it.

 

As for why penalties after 120 minutes...it's really 120 minutes. Give me athlete that plays "American" sports who can still stand after that.

 

Oh, shoot, but then again, why am I defending a game only Commies play?

[yeszir]

This World Cup has completely changed my mind about soccer, as I've said already. Soooooo intense.

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah I am surprised I have actually watched some games this year, and not just U.S. (I didn't watch a measly minute of that disgrace of a team)

[schillingouttheks]

What? You didn't watch a minute of the US team but you watched some games this year that weren't only US?

[yeszir]

This is gonna be sweeeeeeet! France showed they can deal with floppers against Portugal. Word.

[Pinstripe_Pride]

I'm going to Little Italy today to root for Italia! So excited

[Papelbon58]

I don't really like it, but I'm picking:

France 2 Italy 1

 

I love how my picks are usually wrong, Go Italy!

[yeszir]

It's gonna be a 1-0 game I bet. Both sides have crazy good defense.

[Papelbon58]

Zidane scores on PK in 7th minute, brought about by a dive in the box

[schillingouttheks]

Italia!

[yankeessuck013]

FORZA ITALIA CAMPIONE DEL COPA DEL MONDO

 

Congrats to Italy

[yeszir]

What the f*** was Zidane thinking. Even if what the guy said was horribly racist and offensive, as it probably was, you DONT DO THAT IN THE LAST GAME OF YOUR CAREER IN OT IN THE WORLD CUP FINAL.

[Papelbon58]

it is like a fight in the Super Bowl, emotions run high

congrats to Italy, even though I hate when a game ends in PKs

[yankeessuck013]

Zidane lost it... the guy must have told him that he was jocking his wife.

 

i've never even seen that move even in a kung-fu movie

[DUSTINMOHR4LIFE]

that was vicious

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah I woulda thought he would have known better. Championship game, last game of his career, and he blows it. France would have won if Henry and Zidane were still in it, some fabulous penalty kickers. That crossbar kick looms large too.

[YankeeDoodle]

Surreal. Beckham's ejection in '98 doesn't even compare.

[DUSTINMOHR4LIFE]

buffon is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better then Barthez. Tez had no chance.

[element1151]

Yeah, makes you wonder what he said!

[schillingouttheks]

buffon is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better then Barthez. Tez had no chance.

Neither did Buffon....neither one of those goalies did anything.

[Papelbon58]

the goalie is at such a disadvantage in PKs, it is pure luck and good guesswork if a goalie manages to stop one.

[schillingouttheks]

No it isn't, you have to look at their hips. The Portugese goal keeper was a tank against England.

[YanksHater213]

Well, I guess Shakira was right then. Your hips really don't lie...
