Matters Of The Ball (Word Cup 2010)


I am happy to see most of the African teams crashing out.

Only left Ghana stands a chance of making it to the next round.

Perhaps with lesser/no African teams, there would be much lesser vuvuzelas, which some players said are drowning out their communication with their teammates. I suspect might have affected some teams' performance.

Ronaldo also complains about it. http://www.afriqueavenir.org/en/2010/06/14/portugal%e2%80%99s-ronaldo-complains-against-vuvuzela-noise/

slovenia to upset england... could be a draw, and the overpaid englishmen get knocked out.
usa to beat algeria and goes into the next round along with the slovenians.

ghana to draw with germany, and serbia draw with australia. ghana and germany go through.
 
bro... England 1-0 or 2-1 lah.
And USA to draw again

Germany 1-0 win also.
Australia game, I predict low scoring game < 2 goals.
 
i support slovenia for this.. they are playing better than anyone would have expected in this group. yep, so i'm hoping for an upset. hehe....
 
Wah looks like England might be able to make it...somehow, I refuse to watch..in case I'm disappointed again haaa
 
who wld have dreamt that US will top Group C?

Ended up Donovan's injury time goal nicked top spot from England and earned them a match vs Ghana in the round of 16...England faces Germany now, shades of 1990?

Robert Green's blunder may prove costly now.
 
yes.... both England and Germany win by 1-0!!!
Wasted my prediction on USA draw lost in final 2 mins.
 
luckily, the shop closed before i could buy....

haha.

damn it, Slovenia disappointed me and didn't manage to cause an upset on the front papers and in this forum :P
 
vios, they had their chances in the final 10 mins or so. The 1st half, England should have score 2 or 3 goals already. Ronney was really unlucky when it hit the pole.
 
Same. I'm elated that italy is out. Y must they chiong only in the second half after slovakia has scored more goals? totally deserved to be out man.
 
At least the Italian fought till the last min and had their chances. The French are disgraceful this season.
Tonight, I am hoping the Koreans to dispose of the last African team.
 
heard that the n.koreans already left for the korean borderline liao...
opponent-less, the elephants can only score 2 or 3 goals because of their clumsiness.

but then, get knocked out by the samba beat and portuguese grape wine as they will make merry instead....
 
Seem like holland and agentina have chance into the final...anyway ball is round but i still go for argentina..as for tonite game i go for korea +1.5 and portugal to draw..
 
U guys watching the Portugal vs Brazil match, or the North Korea vs Ivory Coast match?

I was watching the Brazil match, then I switched to watch the N. Korea match, and saw Ivory Coast scoring their 2nd goal.

smileguy: Ivory Coast is looking to massacre North Korea, and hoping that Brazil to beat Portugal, so that they can make it into the next round.

Did u see how Ivory Coast players rushed into the N.Korea's goal to pick up the ball right after scoring? They hoping to score more.

Yes i saw it but hopefully korea can Counter back during the 2nd half..so my +1.5 can bring me some pocket $..haha..
 
North Korea players jialat liao.

I read that in 1966 when their team lost to Portugal 1-6, the players were sent to work in the mine as punishment.

The worst thing is, this world cup, after the team put up a brilliant fight against Brazil, Kim Jong-il decided to allow, for the first time, 'live' telecast of the match against Portugal, hoping to increase the North Koreans' confidence in their regime.

Unfortunately, his wishful thinking backfired. They were humiliated by the Portuguese right in front of all the North Koreans back home.

I wonder how Kim Jong-il would punish the players this time.

Miloice: I don't think the Italian fought till the last min.

They only started fighting when they scored their 1st goal. 1-2 then, and really started playing. Unlucky to have their 2nd goal ruled offside.

Stupid betting slips :P

Plain unlucky for England as 2-2 scoreline would be a different scenario going into the second half.

Having said that, i'm very impressed with Germany's strikeforce. Super quick and deadly.
England's defenders were too naive at the same time.
 
bad luck for england but u have to admit, they were TOTALLY outclassed by the germans. crap defending really.

heard that north korea wc team will be sent to the coal mines as punishment...lol
 
My late predictions for tonight's matches. Japan win 1-0.
Spain to draw. Penalties losing to Portugal. Cheers!
 
yoz thomas

actually brazil does not look like the team of old, in terms of offensive... true that they scored three goals against chile, however, they were rather dull for most parts of that game..

kinda defensively tactical for me.

i hope the dutch will upset them in the quarters. heh...
 
Japan should be proud they were the better team. More disciplined and effective. Too bad they wasted their chances especially in the dying minutes in the extra time.
 

They are scapegoats only lah. They are probably paid to make these blind mistakes while the bookies and syndicates cash in big time. World cup is the biggest stage for wayang.

Anyway, I'm glad that the stronger teams are those that prevail with the only exception of Paraguay. They are weak. Draw against New Zealand. The only team with 1 win that survived the knock out stage. Other teams that got knocked out are mostly with only 1 win.
