Football World Cup 2010

[The Atheist]

Boy did some of us get wiped out!

And some of us made out ok!

Well, one of us, anyway.

[The Atheist]

So, I go out at half time with Brazil clearly on top, a goal up, playing well.
I come home an hour later to find they have lost, self-destructed and are out.

Oh where are the certainties of yesteryear? What is there left that we can cling to, adrift upon this sea of chance?

I've just seen your total!

[papayahed]

But you are still leading in coin total!!!

[prendrelemick]

I've just seen your total!

A very important position - propping up the rest.

50 on Uruguay

[billl]

I have thus far earned a record of 1-12 in my predictions during this tournament. One nice bit of trivia: The ONLY team able to persevere in the face of my support has been Uruguay, and so I don't really feel like it's a risk when I place this bet:

1 on Uruguay.

I'd like to play it safer, but this is not the stage in the game for me to be careful anyhow. Pren is right on my tail.

[Genocide]

Genocide> I am very sorry but no new players are allowed in the game since the beginning of the second round.

Ooookay. I'd be pretty cleaned out anyway.... this saves me some fake money... and some dignity. Not really. :]

That was a really good game though. I only got angry twice. :]

[Delta40]

Goodbye Brazil!

[Paulclem]

Yayyyy Holland.

I'm glad Brazil are out. Who wants the same teams to win all the time?

Ghana have just got a penalty in extra time for a handbal!!!!

[Genocide]

Uruguay 1:1 Ghana

This game needs to end! Ahhhh penalties!

[Paulclem]

He's missed it!!!

Penalties now.

[Genocide]

If it were just a few inches lower!!!

[Paulclem]

Uruguay are through. ghana should have had it in the last shot of extra time. Fantastic game. The Holland Brazil game was good too.

I am so very upset over Ghana. Literally in tears (for the first time since that time my home was knocked out of the World Cup).

I cannot believe how this game turned out. Gyan will never forget tonight, I think.

Suddenly, I don't even want to carry on with this game.
