Fifa World Cup 2010

[Mark]

I think there's a baseball game on somewhere . . .











Go, New World!

 

[Phaezen]

2 great games of football today I thought. Pity a team has to loose, but well played USA and South Korea, Brazil 2014 is just round the corner

 

[TarionzCousin]

Rats.

Exactly.

However, the Ghanian goal in Extra Time was very pretty. Despite what the announcers say about it being a lucky bounce, the Ghanian controlled it with his chest and made a good hard shot.

I'm just glad the US didn't lose on a wrongfully disallowed goal.

Yeah, I agree - the goal was pretty impressive and despite what looked a bit awkward he ended up getting the ball set up for a very hard shot.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

it was essentially the same situation Jozy Altadore had in regular time...just well finished.

I saw the way Ghana played Germany, and I was actually hoping that they'd win...so we could have played Germany instead. I think it would have been a better matchup for the USA.

Absolutely. It was one hell of a shot. He was able to get a lot of control and finesse into what looked like a very difficult shot.

Also, other than playing the clock in extra time (although I guess it's quite common), I thought Ghana played a very classy and clean game. Definitely different than the way Algeria comported themselves. The Ghanian players were always the first to raise a hand in a "my bad" kind of way when they made a foul, and never resorted to thuggery and "enforcers". Class act Ghana...well played.

If England loses because of that goal I'm gonna have a hissy fit and possibly throw something.

 

[Thanee]

Yeah, that was really bad for them... but with the current 4:1 it's not deciding, I suppose.

Go, Germany!

Bye

[Joker]

Yeah, I have to nuance what I said. England was outplayed. While you might wonder whether or not that 2nd goal would have changed the dynamics and game of the second half, I doubt Germany would have left it tied anyway.

Germany played with control and great awareness of their teammates. England played like America (no disrespect, how u doin').

 

[Thanee]

If they continue like that, beating Argentinia (who I suppose will be the opponent in the quarterfinals) might actually be possible.

We will see what's in for them...

Bye
Thanee
