BTW, what's up with all these gay uniforms that cut off circulation and create moobs? The last thing I would want in a game is polyester sticking to my skin.

I disagree with part of this. Argentina wasn't very impressive for me. I saw some loose passes and some weaknesses in the game against Nigeria. Contrary to popular opinion, I think Nigeria was bad too. Aside from the Nigerian goalkeeper, I can't pick out any player from either team who impressed me.Originally posted by Bubu View Postthe Germans were emphatic
alongside Argentina and South Korea the most impressive teams so far.
One team that did impress me was North Korea. They were very disciplined and well-organized defensively. And you couldn't help but feel happy for the players when you saw them crying at the beginning of the match.Last edited by Sombre; 06-15-2010, 10:03 PM.An artist is not paid for his labor, but for his vision. - James Whistler

In general this world cup hasn't reached it's hopefully highs. No team has been perfect and no one seems to be willing to take any risks. From a global point of view, football has developed a lot in the smaller countries. There is no more a team who can play relaxed and win by ease. Look at Brazil vs North Korea yesterday, a perfect example.
I'm holding my thumbs for Italy.Comment

Yeah, this has been a serious snooze so far, except Germany. Let's see what happens now.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

The portugal game yesterday was great fun, even ending up a tie. This morning's Chile - Honduras game had a lot of fun moments. Actually, there've been quite a few good games to my mind, just not the ones I expected. Argentina - Nigeria was great, some of the other low scoring ones as well. Not a lot of high scoring games, but some great back and forth.Originally posted by Faust View PostHobo: We all dress up.

Switzerland's goal just now. Woah, what a miscue, what a capitalization. Poor Pique.Hobo: We all dress up. We all put on our armour before we walk out the door, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re trying to be someone else.Comment

Long ball from midfield, mishandled/took an odd deflection, lead to a 2 on 2, Casillas (sorry for spelling) dove way out and got taken out of the equation, Pique was between two forwards, interfered successfully but also fell. Forward kicked it in for a score.Originally posted by thaiison View PostHobo: We all dress up.

Maybe the second half. The first half, I'd like the 45 min of my life back.Originally posted by theetruscan View Post

So, after Casillas insulted the England goalkeepers while basically bragging about his own abilities, Spain lost because of a goal he has to shoulder some blame for. I don't dislike Spain as a team, but I can't say I didn't smile when that ball went in. Now they could possibly meet Brazil in the Round of 16 if all goes as planned. That would be a mouth-watering fixture.
Uruguay vs. South Africa was a blow-out. Forlan's first goal was unlucky for the hosts, but they were totally outplayed. Hopefully that's the beginning of this tournament really taking off.An artist is not paid for his labor, but for his vision. - James Whistler

I'm guessing you haven't seen all the English keepers week-in, week-out. I have, so I'll say that Casillas was mistaken in his statements. Moreover, "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." Casillas has been average lately, and as you say, he's not even the undisputed number 1 in Spain's team (I disagree with you, I think Reina is much better than Valdes, but that's another story). Casillas is not in my top 3 goalkeepers at the World Cup (and neither is Valdes).
Speaking about the match in general, I think Del Bosque must also be partly blamed. The midfield was packed, and Villa had a hard time by himself. I think that team needs two forwards, and fewer players in midfield.An artist is not paid for his labor, but for his vision. - James Whistler

I wonder wether it Spains old world cup ghost turning up or if it's some kind of under estimation from them. They looked so average and thin. Though I'm glad Switzerland won, Spain is suffering from so much hype.
I think the team who has the brightest coach will win this cup. It seems like it's all down to tactical awareness and that glimpse of the game.Comment
