WC: All but US matches

Fingers crossed Pants is okay (possible facial fracture of some sort), it did not look good and his teammates were distraught.

 

I missed the second half, had to do some shopping, I hope Pants is OK.

Anyone else notice as the players were lining up inside the runway today the Ghana player next to Schwarzer tapped him to get his attention and then pointed back? Next thing they showed was Mark and Pants giving each other a big hug and big smiles all around.

 

Hmmm, wonder why some of the African teams look so tired?

 

But you forgot to add if you lose your out also????

 

Who for sure is out so far, Cameroon and Nigeria?

 

Just Cameroon.

 

In the Ghana - Australia game, about a minute after the AUssies score, Schwarzer got laid out by someone coming in for a cross. Who did the dirty work? John Pantsil!

 

Ryan Nelsen will fly to Minnesota to be with wife if she goes into labor early.. !!!!

Ummm... sorry. that is NOT in the tradition of great campaigns. He's the captain {Field General} of the NZ side, as well as being the highest profile and a KEY PLAYER.

Let's get our priorities straight.

Magic Simon Elliot starting again.

snark on BS last match: Elliot has started every match for 'Unattached FC'

Now 1-1 from pk off an atrocious bit of acting

youtube: Italy training camp

All that's missing is the White Flags...

 

Google Diving Punk Bitches and the Azurri pop up. Man do I hate the Italian team! Kiwis tied w/the bastards in the 38th 1-1.

 

WC sets stage for Euro TV reality Pilot: "So, You Want to be a Clown!"

"Ibiza Shore"

 

"All-Whites Win, 1-1!!!"
-heh.

From the Crew BS WC thread:

- background: For several years, known as a 'Canadian Win' in honor of TFC fans delight at tying the Crew.

 

A STANDING OVATION for the KIWIS....THAT is what the World Cup is all about. For the cynics that only want to see the big boys take note. All heart and guts. The goalie came up big, Ryan Nelsen was brilliant in the back (a yellow card for getting a cramp..WTF?). The West Brom youngster Wood damn near won it late, Incredible.

 

And that's what happens when players know the gig is up. If there were more than 3 subs allowed in football, we would have seen the JV squads in for the garbage time and none of that would've happened.

Brazil knew they were through and the Ivory Coast knew that game was over but they can still possibly advance.

Disgusting to see, but not surprised by it.

 

That is my sentiment exactly Don. Just to be fair the Brazilians were not the only smarmy fekkers on the pitch at the end of the match. Keita or Kaita or whatever his name is from Ivory Coast deserves a post match red for simulation. Kaka's forearm was nowhere near the broken nose he was pretending he received.
