World Cup 2010 Thread

That was a miserable game

Note to players when the referee gives a decision or penalises someone please don’t all crowd round him telling him what to do it just pisses us all off you knobless bawbags

I knew it was gonna be a meatgrinder…but seriously!?!

The Dutch were looking for blood AND were diving faster then a crack-addict pearler who’s dealer is selling out at the beach and has only one remaining satchet.

Besides, the soothopus (peace be upon his gently floating squishyness) already foretold who’d win, so it was futile anyway.

My congrats to Spain.

son of a bitch!!! now im gonna have to hear about that stupid octopus forever!!! fuck you!!

who would you guys pick to get the golden shoe??? i pick diego forlan… that women is hot!!!

Diego Forlan has won the golden ball (straight faces please)
thomas mueller has won golden boot and best young player

I went into that wanting both teams to win, but by half time I was on the side of Spain. Holland was unnecessarily brutal, and has tarnished its glorious reputation. Still, they did have some good chances, and Robben, who failed to score on not one, but two breakaways, will not sleep well for a while. And I was calling a Spain win back in the group stages.

At least England did one thing well this World Cup: I thought Webb did a great job. When players are fouling left, right and center like that, the ref is in a lose-lose situation. He cannot possibly see everything, and has to really hesitate to give a red, especially early on, because then he’ll be accused of determining the game, but the reality is that Holland should have had a man sent off after that flying kick to Alonso’s chest. For the Dutch to complain about the ref is just beyond pathetic. He could have been much worse to them. The Guardian joked that Webb could almost have sent all the players off, and then claimed the cup for England, as the last man standing.

A crappy end to the WC, but at least the octopus emerges with his reputation intact.

BRAZIL 2014!!!

Whose going?
