Any predictions for Japan-Cameroon?I see 0-0 or 1-1
6/14/2010 9:22:40 AM
I think Cameroon will win
6/14/2010 9:24:48 AM
I, too, think Cameroon will win.

I know not to trust Wikipedia all the time, but just to double check. The own goal goes against Poulsen and not Agger even though it hit Agger's back. Poulsen headed it, so he is charged with the own goal, right?
6/14/2010 9:28:37 AM
Yeah, I would think so.
6/14/2010 9:29:41 AM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisuke_MatsuiApparently Japan has some sort of hybrid soccer player on their team combining the talents of two of the most famous Japanese athletes who play professional sports in America.

Dicezilla?

At least ESPN didn't make the same mistake they did in 06 when the Australia-Japan game started with Japan's 3 letter abbreviation being JAP.BONSAI BONSAI BONSAI[Edited on June 14, 2010 at 10:39 AM. Reason : .]

ESPN made 33 posters for the World Cup. 1 for each team and then 1 that has every team on it. Below is the US and all teams posters.http://jockpost.com/espn-world-cup-posters-all-33-fifamurals-picture-gallery/

Thanks for the link.WTF lol
6/14/2010 11:13:22 AM
Good ole Aussies. They're known as the socceroos and that's Tim Cahill. I read somewhere that people were a little mad about that one since it made Cahill look fat.
6/14/2010 11:16:50 AM
yea the Australia one had me LOLin
6/14/2010 11:19:40 AM
Yeah, I'm aware of the meaning, but good lord that is not very flattering.
6/14/2010 11:19:53 AM
There was a guy at the Bavarian Brathaus in Cary with a shirt that he wrote "Se Aussies are Krapp" Not to mention another guy with Lederhosen
6/14/2010 11:25:55 AM
damn, that was a fucking rip
6/14/2010 11:44:07 AM
holy SHIT that was an amazing shot by that camaroon player.
6/14/2010 11:44:22 AM
Woodworking denies another African goal
6/14/2010 11:44:54 AM
Soccer gods say no. What an effort.
6/14/2010 11:45:16 AM
WTF costumes by Japan
6/14/2010 11:47:57 AM
wouldn't have counted anyways, but awesome save from the JAP keeper
6/14/2010 11:51:09 AM
6/14/2010 11:52:55 AM
lame. was hoping for a late minute equalizer
6/14/2010 11:53:57 AM
i'm glad that ball didn't go in the net late in the game. I'm sick of having another tie.
6/14/2010 11:59:18 AM
I wouldn't have complained about a tie there at all; it would have been fairly exciting scoring that late. Besides, the US v England game is the only tie in the past 8 games. For as much as people have been complaining about ties there haven't been that many...certainly not enough to be "sick" of them.[Edited on June 14, 2010 at 12:10 PM. Reason : ]
6/14/2010 12:05:46 PM
why did ABC pick alexi lalas & ruud gullit to analyse games? they can hardly form complete sentences.
6/14/2010 1:19:43 PM
^Agreed. And Lalas is so ridiculously biased towards the USA team I'm surprised he hasn't predicted that USA is gonna win the World Cup this year.
6/14/2010 2:18:52 PM
i thought he sounded gay as hell when he was celebrating that tie with england. i know its a good result but for fucks sake we arent even close to gettin out of the group yet
6/14/2010 2:24:22 PM
Down with Italy!
6/14/2010 2:25:16 PM
Today, we're all Paraguayan![Edited on June 14, 2010 at 2:26 PM. Reason : and Roque Santa Cruz always WRECKS me in Fifa...]
6/14/2010 2:26:12 PM
Italy's national anthem is one of the best.
6/14/2010 2:26:37 PM
more like fabio cannavarOLD amirite
6/14/2010 2:28:28 PM
I dunno. I kind of like the fact that Lalas is an unapologetic USA fan.We need someone associated with our team to talk some shit.
6/14/2010 2:28:34 PM
we dont need anyone talking shit for us cause we havent come close to doing anything great in this tournament. it just makes him look like a douche
6/14/2010 2:29:52 PM
It's always easy to cheer for the Red & White.
6/14/2010 2:30:04 PM
If you only talk shit when you're winning it doesnt mean a thing. Its ok to shit talk when you suck.
6/14/2010 2:30:59 PM
Of course the Italians dive in record time.
6/14/2010 2:32:24 PM
6/14/2010 2:32:36 PM
oh shit amac's here
6/14/2010 2:33:11 PM
Yeah I was laughing that they already had a guy in "agony", but that looked like a bad challenge.
6/14/2010 2:34:01 PM
6/14/2010 2:36:07 PM
hopefully this game doesnt make me want to fall asleep...this world cup has been pretty crappy so far this year. i think the monotonous sound of the horns is causing me to get sleepy each game
6/14/2010 2:38:17 PM
it's the constant white noise
