***Official World Cup Talk Thread***

[nick]

So if you were born in Italy, USA shouldn't even matter at these games. I can tell you this, If I ever moved to another country, I would still root for Canada and ONLY Canada.

[trendon]

J, you still have the Americans! I am looking for redemption after having my heart broken by Canada in the Olympics.

muhahahaha

How is that Stanley Cup working out for you guys?

Saw it. And no, in North America ... league sports > international events. Sorry.

[trendon]

(And enough with the "two teams" shit--I was born in Italy)

No wonder I hate you.

[jsence2]

Still want to say he didn't make contact? Should've been red....

thats why people care about the Olympics in the US?..........especially you know, the dream team. but it's okay then

[Dolemitesooner]

I am sure if I moved I would only root for the USA. Its called National pride.

Homosexuals are gay! Bwahahahhahahaahahahah

Homers think their teams got "cheated" when they lose

I didn't say they don't care, just saying that league sports trump international games.

I'd trade one more Devils Stanley Cup for 100 US golds.

Yes, because every time one of my teams lose, I claim they were cheated.

It's not like there weren't two controversial calls in this match or anything

Question, how much do you pay to have your vagina waxed?

[trendon]

Twice. Not bad for a sport that is, like, fifth most popular and only played by a small contingent of the country.

Don't make me come up there and burn Quebec ... again.

[trendon]

i know in hockey refs let things slide when goalies get run over when it comes to the shit that happens between the players after wards

Well, hockey is a sport where you can punch someone ... just because and, at worst, you'll get two minutes. It is kinda unique.

[jsence2]

solid punch...


maybe the guy shouldnt have been in his net...

While I agree they shouldn't have tried to rip the ball out of his hands, it's custom practice when a team is down late and score, they don't run around and celebrate; they get the ball out of the net, rush it to midfield, and set up for the kickoff. They know every second is precious and they want to get the match restarted as soon as possible.

The goalie went and got the ball and was just wasting time, as they were doing the entire last 15 min of the match (laying down, etc) and Webb was not booking them for it. That said, he went for the face, and that's a HUGE no-no. You attack the head with your hand, it's an automatic red, whether it's retaliation or instigation.

Didn't the youth team win too, the U-17 or U-19 or whatever level it was?

[LetsGoPeay]

The same announcers who have ripped and insulted Italy from the get-go? Ruud Gillett, who is DUTCH and thus hates the Italians? Alexi Lalas, who has pretty much spit venom anytime he talks about them? John Harkes, who is American and hates the Italians as well?

People hate Italy because they dive and flop constantly and then whine and cry when they lose. Then their "fans" (you included) whine and cry constantly when they lose. It's pretty much the same reason everyone hates the French. Maybe France and Italy can get together back in Europe this weekend, eat some pasta, drink some wine, ogle some chicks with hairy armpits, and play a couple friendlies. With all those flopping divers on the field, it would probably look something like this as soon as the referee blew his whistle to start play.

I don't have a vagina, and my girlfriend shaves me.
