Official World Cup Game Discussion Thread

<p>^ True, but I was happy my home country won just days after my 12th birthday.</p>

<p>I will never wake up on a non-school day at 7:30 unless it is for the Cup! Let’s go Greece!</p>

<p>Greece just gettin’ absolutely burned by SoKo. 2-0 at this point and no way I see Greece scoring twice with only 25 minutes left and no momentum.</p>

<p>hahahahah pwnt get out of here SLightManifesto! you cant beat SK!!!</p>

<p>did anyone else notice how the refs were in greece’s favor? we deserved a penalty kick. also, south korea had way less fouls than greece :)</p>

<p>GO USA!! That goal was random, but funny.</p>

<p>Yeah that tackle in the box (I know the one you are talking about mid-early in the 1st half when it was 1-0). The USA goal was very lucky but in some select cases, I’d rather be lucky than skilled.</p>

<p>I’m still mad that we could’ve won. We just didn’t score.</p>

<p>Seems a bit silly to be mad that you didn’t win if it took a gift goal for a draw. This game wasn’t particularly meaningful anyway. If either team fails to make it through, they should be embarrassed.</p>

<p>So I just found out yesterday that the game ending with the score tied is completely possible.</p>

<p>That just irritates me for some reason…</p>

<p>I know no one cares but just thought I’d let that out because it’s been nagging me all day lol. :P</p>

<p>A goal’s a goal in my opinion, and sure in the schematics of things it wasn’t meaningful but when you look at it that way, you lose the passion and urgency. I get mad whenever a team I want to win doesn’t win.</p>

<p>A national team shouldn’t go into something thinking it won’t be meaningful. At least not in my mentality. Every game should be important, and you play to your best.</p>

<p>I agree that you should go into it thinking it’s of the utmost importance, but now that’s over it’s silly to dwell on the result.</p>

<p>This game was just way overhyped though. I heard someone say that the memory of the 1950 match still resonates, but obviously it’s mostly forgotten here, and in England it’s a relatively minor event.</p>

<p>This Algeria/Slovenia game has started out QUITE dull. I’m excited for Ghana/Serbia though, and Germany should wreck Aussieville.</p>

<p>^ go algeria! =d</p>

<p>^^I think so too. Hopefully it will be more intriguing the second half.</p>

<p>somehow ive predicted the result and score of the past three matches haha…</p>

<p>itll be interesting to see how germany starts out later today. hopefully there will be some goals in that game…</p>

<p>Well, they just scored.</p>

<p>Germany’s going to do work on Australia.</p>

<p>that game was epic lolz. 4 nil hahaha.</p>

<p>why did they book Cacau?</p>

<p>Because he dove</p>

<p>Tim Cahill definitely did not deserve a red card</p>

<p>That was god awful. A yellow at worst.</p>
