I want South Africa to lose. I **** it when the commentators say "Bafana Bafana". :crash:
My boys from Uruguay (... sounds like to a sequel to Boys From Brazil... ) are looking good. I predicted that the winner of group A will go through to the semis.
Too bad that they are out. Loved to watch them play.
Tshabalala made one of the best goals. Their problem is/was that they are often faster than European teams, but after an hour they get too tired to make the match
Huh, the greatest world sporting competition, our country is in it and they are on cable/satelite (ESPN). Nothing local for regular folks. No wonder why the game doesn't catch on...there is no effort by those running US soccer in things. There is no excuse for US soccer in the WC should not be on peoples' local affiliate, in a nation of 300 mill - the most powerful on planet. :2 cents:
I see a less-jittery team tomorrow with a 2-0 win (hopefully more).
Argh! Are you fucking kidding me. That was a very close call. It shouldn't have even mattered though. Gomez was one-on-one with the keeper with a great opportunity. You've got to put those in the net!
EDIT: Replay shows that he was onside. Another fucking disallowed goal. Is there a goddamn conspiracy here? It's hard to win when don't get credit for scoring legitimately.
