***Official World Cup Talk Thread***

[trendon]

Does anyone else here besides myself really enjoy all the soccer announcers? They are funny, witty, quick with the nicknames like when NZ scored the equalizer "All White is all right, with New Zealand." Plus their accents are friggin great.

I do; I get annoyed with some of the terms like pitch, kits, training, Man of the Match, etc

See I enjoy stuff like that cause it makes me chuckle. They say other things like someone is fit, call cleats boots, when someone tries a tough shot they call it an ambitious effort. They just speak like gentlemen in the old days and the shit cracks me up.

The color commentators always seem to be some rough neck that were hard asses on the "pitch" and always talk shit about the diving Italians and Portuguese.

There is no way in HELL that was a shot. That had to be a cross that went wrong.

That said....what a fucking goal! I set up a 3-4-3 with my fantasy team, and two of my defenders have scored goals and one got an assist lol. (Marquez, Maicon, and Lahm)

[jsence2]

What a terrific through ball by Robinho to Elano.

And let the entertainment commence

UPS guy just dropped off my copy of FIFA World Cup.

Take that shit to Wal-Mart and return it

Then hit me up so I can whoop dat ass

[shel311]

Well, Amazon had it for $39.99, I doubt WalMart has it for the same price, lol.

[jsence2]

Wow.....makes you wonder if Korea had attacked more, if they'd have gotten a result.

How much per month?

[Cnasty]

I think Im paying 14.99 a month for 1 at a time which is plenty for me.

I finally made the jump as I used the cash from cancelling blockbuster and XM and its been well worth it.

Played about 5 games I really wanted to try and instead of dropping the $60 to try, Ill do the monthly thing and keep as long as I want to beat games or to mess around online with,such as FIFA.

Might not be a good option for you though as you dont have the wide variety of games to want to try.

[shel311]

Yea, I don't think so for me.

That's $180/year.

I've basically bought 2 other games all year, FIFA and NBA2K10. And with the returns, I'm not paying full price, so I will pass on the Gamefly, lol.

I got FIFA World Cup for $40 and I think I can return it for $25, as of now, at least.

[Hoos]

I wonder if NK goes home after the World Cup and tells all their people that they won it.

EDIT: I see now that it is actually on TV in NK.

[shel311]

FIFA kicks 36 hot Dutch chicks out of the World Cup for...well...for wearing tight, orange dresses.

Weird story. No clue what happened here.

[Easportsbama]

After hearing about Ronaldo and all his greatness, i was looking forward to watching portugal and possibly pulling for them throughout the World Cup. But after seeing that bitch ass little baby fall down everytime someone came close to him made me want to puke...Sure he is good, but damn I wanted to puke my spikes on and go stab him in the calf a couple of times (No I don't have spikes).

If anything it had the reverse impact on the referes. When someone did actually commit a foul on him, they said "O he is being a pussy again".

[jsence2]

This is truly shocking.

Switzerland could easily be up 2-0 if not for the wood, and Spain was denied by the wood as well. This would be one of the most shocking upsets in World Cup history.

No. That was in the 11th minute, and I did not see that one.

There was a foul on him in the 9th minute, that's the one I was defending.

The one you just posted....wow. That's an early entrant for dive of the tournament De Rossi is an odd character sometimes. Just glad he didn't get booked, he'd have hurt my fantasy team
