World Cup 2010 Thread

Brazil really need a win. As Ivory Coast and Portugal could both easily nick a win against them.

And whoever finishes second in the group very probably plays Spain. (I can't see Chile, Honduras or Switzerland winning the group)

A second round Brazil/Spain tie would be glorious. If only to see one of them knocked out.

[Herr Matzat]

Finaly!

[Dan]

Lucky Brazil, very lucky.

[Farmer Reil]

Maicon!!!! Finally!

[Szumi]

Wow. That was the worst goal I have ever witnessed.

Jubulani 1 - 0 North Korea

[Kaney]

That was some goal, what an angle.

[Farmer Reil]

Right then, Dunga. Thirteen men behind the ball, don't let this lead slip!

[Katsuya]

Sort of expected since the start of this half, but Brazil still don't look that confident. Hopefully NK hold it together, since they're still in for a chance at a draw if they get lucky. I'm presuming Dunga blasted them at half-time and told them to start playing like Brazil >_>

If football was fair, the cup would be suspended right now and Germany would be handed the World Cup, too bad it ain't.

Even though several teams haven't even kicked the ball yet, right? Nice logic.

[Szumi]

Wow. The commentators on ESPN just said the North Korean "fans" are paid actors from China to play the part. Now that is just fucking hilarious.

[Bryan Blade]

And the fact that Germany were only two up when the aussies had cahill wronly sent off

[Kaney]

And here we go.

[therockbox]

That was a great goal.

[LL!]

That was a great goal.

I LOVED the look on the Korean keeper's face as it just strolled on in.

[Farmer Reil]

Lucky, Brazil. Very lucky. The ball passed itself to Elano, accidentally hit his foot and magnets pulled it in.

[GoGo Yubari]

Props to North Korea for playing well early on but yeah, that's over now.

Basically went the way of your typical cup game with a lower league side. They'll play above their means for a while, whether it be the occasion or adrenaline. But after a while, mistakes will show, they'll be broken down, they'll get tired. Still been quite a fun watch.

Anyone been watching the James Corden shit after? It's quite fun, he's not trying to be that funny so he's a lot less annoying. The 2nd one with Boris Becker, Dizzee Rascal and Peter Shilton was great.

Also...the ITV commentators have started talking to each other tonight.
