the penalty system is retarded, from what little i watched of the world cup, the "world cup" is supposed to be about watching the best soccer players in the world from each respective country, instead of that we have a penalty system that rewards you for not playing your best players so they can play the next, more important game with them(provided you win this game with the suckier players) because they dont have a 1 or two game suspension for accidently elbowing a guy in the face. Granted, im not saying there should be NO penalty, but when teams are basing entire strategies on the penalty system dont you think its a bit out of hand?

wow your logic is indesputable, you should definitely call up fifa and inform them of their massive error
MAN what a game! I didn't think the italians could ever play that way, they were totally amazing. I think France has a worthy opponent in the finals (hopefully they reach it).
Man, those 2 goals in that last couple of minutes. Sorry Germany, even though I was rooting for you guys that was some pretty damn entertaining football. A France V Italy final should be something. I'm backing France, and thinking they'll be victorious, but who knows.
so, any flag-burning events scheduled for the near future or what are we supposed to do with all that junk now? and who's gonna shoot that bunch of play... eh losers?
i dont think i will be cheering for england any more at this point, they are nothing but major dissapointment every time world cup comes around.. All the press boasts about their allstar team but they end up performing poorly, way under what they promised to achieve...
I like their players, but perhaps they are getting too much credit since they play in EPL, maybe england is just not that good at all.
DTrip.. I wouldn't be surprised if my in laws know your family.. Seems all the Argentinians from NY all tend to know each other somehow or have met previousely in random social events.. My wifes family is from Mendoza and Buenos Ares, but have lived here since the mid 70s.. they still have family there and we visit at least every few years.. Where are you located?
it was originally an animated GIF of the incident with zidane headbutting ... however whoever was hosting that must have realised it was getting hammered due to people hotlinking it, so changed it to an obscene image for fun. i've edited it out now. if anyone wants to upload their own animated gif to their own webspace instead of hotlinking, please feel free.

I have to see the replay again but some people claim that the macaroniman pull him from hes hurt shoulder that triggered the verbal part that lead to the assault.
Anyone have a link to a torrent of the final match? I was out at the park and missed the game, and I'd rather watch the full game over the highlight reel.
So far I can find torrents of any match Brazil has ever played, but no luck finding a download for the world cup finals game. Crazy brazil fans.
I thought it was supposed to be football, not baseketball.
You know, Italy winning through referee error, Brazil going down early, Argentinia losing through very bad trainer decisions, Germany going down because of attempting an unusual playstyle and finally Italy winning because Zidane went berserk... I'm guessing some croatian guy bet a whole lot of money on Italy.
I don't watch much soccer and for one reason: All the players are pussies. I enjoy playing the game, but watching it makes me feel embarrassed... they go down on the lightest of physical encounters and for what? To fake it so the opposition gets a card? Whiney, fake, pussies - that's all they* are.
All we need is a tie with Germany, maybe even not that. If Ghana and Portugal tie we move on, and even if we lose we possibly win on goal difference. That tie was super disappointing though.
The reason I just can't get into football...
Edit: I say if the replay shows any sort of faking. The opposing team can pick a player to punt him in the balls. I'd watch it then :icon60:
stupid ball games, bunch of dudes chase up a ball
"that's my ball, that's my ball, no one can touch it but me, and whats more, I'm shoot it after having it... i just can't have enough balls"

Good game sucky ending. 30 seconds left to advance to the next round! Gotta learn how to burn time like the latino teams.
Other than that...GO MESSI!!!!

Maybe the two German head coaches can have a "friendly" agreement like rest all your starters. Since BOTH teams would advance if a draw. :thumbup:
