First 16 Matches Awards

I mostly agree...

- Either Maicon is the beneficiary of the most beautiful luck cross of the WC so far.. OR.. he hit it instinctively, the NORMAL flight of the ball off his foot there would have been a curl, instead it had spin to slice the opposite way.

Whichever .. VERY PRETTY

Vuvu's - WRONG it AINT really an AFrican culture custom thing.. there's a heated argy on Crew boards with plenty of references and I can pretty much bet that AFTER the WC, the VUVU will be banned in any international Comp and possibly at any South African sporting event.

Before you loose the 'racist' hound on me... I'm on record: Get over it for this event.
\Not only that.. ESPN filters out SOME of it... they COULD kill almost all of it.

And if you have a theatre EQ setup on your TV, you can too.

Actually hear crowd and whistles.

Any of you guys have audio Equalizers {I dont, but I also dont care} and want a translation, I understand what he saying and how to apply it.. just ask.

 

Bit Harsh on Rooney I think HD...he didn't get any kind of service from midfield, so hardly he's fault,totally agree with Messi tho, and Im guessing your picking Dempsey cos he scored a spectacular goal?

 

I think you're making too much of it, Martin.. he did say 'by a FFC player' and poor Mark sure didnt qualify.
If he'd said by a CURRENT or FORMER FFC player, then even 'Magic Simon' would be there.. as he was on the Crew MB.

Rooney? Without doubt, on record, the best player on the pitch was rendered ineffective. And mostly by the US midfield which played far better than the US D line which in turn did better than we'd expected.
- I BELIEVE that was what Don was referring to. He couldnt manage to get available.

And the only thing that was 'spectacular' about Dempsey's goal.. see my signature line.

 

Your right about Mark terrible game, but thought Pants over Dempsey would have been my choice that's why I said what I said about the Goal?

 

I think Lionel Messi was good, the Nigerian stopper just pulled off so awesome saves. So Vincent Enyeama could have been on the unheard of players list.

I agree with you on Portugal. They look something sorry. Ivory Coast looked disciplined though, which means they might actually go far in the tournament. Portugal is not dead yet, but they've got some battling to do.

 

For best Fulham player performance let's not forget about Dickagoi, his perfect release pass put Bafana Bafana on the board.

There should be a Howler of the Tournament Award which obviously is Robert Green's with a honorable mention to the Paraguay keeper for gifting the Italians to tying score.
