Football World Cup 2010

[papayahed]

Did not expect so many of our members to be interested in - especially those who are from non-football countries such as the USA and Canada. It made it much more enjoyable.

I know right? I'm quite pleased with my 2145 coins after having watched a few minutes of one game.

It was, wasn't it?

Yep, and three cheers for Scher!



And a big hug for being the best moderator on the internet.

I agree with Forlan, he was the only player who seemed to get to grips with that beach ball they used.

I don't get this business about the ball; I understand its the same ball as that used in the Bundeswhateveritis Pemier League in Germany?

I also noted that there appeared to be very few long kicks in the little I watched.

Was it just an effect of the atmosphere in RSA - the Jo'burg and Pretoria games were obviously at altitude. Were the Durban and Cape Town games any different in ball action?

Has anyone got one of these balls?

I do feel sorry for the Dutch, they were righteously annoyed at being ripped off by an incompetent referee. What the hell was he watching during Holland's free kick? The ball deviated a mile off the German's shoulder and instead of a Dutch corner, we get a Spanish goal.

From an independent perspective, the Spanish probably had a much better party than Holland would've managed anyway, so that made it worth it to a neutral!

Just wait for two years and you'll have to learn RRRRRRRRRRugby!

What? Feel sorry for those thugs? I think they were playing rugby weren't they? No, I certainly don't feel sorry for them seeing as they should have had at least two sent off in the first half, they were a disgrace.

The ball did some very odd things. Goals from free kicks are usually a feature of the world cup, they were rare this time. The ball sailing high and wide is an abiding image of this tournament.

This may be journalistic nonsense, but..

All the mods here are great, but Scher did an outstanding job. As usual I should add.

How is everyone coping with the post-World Cup depression?

Have to wait for two years for the Euro now!

And the octopus retires...

This thread really added to the interest of the cup for me - it was great scher - and I don't mind losing all my virtual cash... really.

As for post football-less depression, we've got to wait until the 15th August before the premiership starts all over again. Not too long.

Duh!

Of course it is!

Ireland have no chance.

At least this time refering to NZ you can say it with Gusto!

Maybe we can do this again during the Rugby World Cup (I do not know anything about rugby so it will be quite educational).

Lulim> I am embarrassed to admit that I have never watched women's football.

Paul> I don't follow the league much in this country. Used to back at home but I still do not have a team that I support in the UK.

[kilted exile]

I am currently watching Linfield play Rosenborg in the second qualifying round of the champions league - year round fitba' gotta love it

Yes, we should do this in the rugby world cup - Come On Scotland!!!!!!!

Scher, you should become a Rangers fan

[Niamh]

Yes, we should do this in the rugby world cup - Come On Scotland!!!!!!!

Scher i think doing this for the Rugby World Cup next year would be great!

I was a rugby player as a kid, so I never developed a liking for a particular team in the Premiership. It's the best way to be - just with the desire for different teams to win.

As for doing this thread for the World Cup - that would be great!

Come on Englannnnnnnd!!!!.

That's a refreshingly candid assessment of rugby players.....

Ah rugby, I have no interest in rugby, all that rolling around in the mud is not becoming at all.
