i guess one guy didn't get the "tackle the guy you're guarding" memo and coincidentally it was Edu who scored

God I hate France.....but part of me wants to laugh at them, part of me wants to shake my head in disbelief.
They're down 1-0 and now on 10 men, and half their starters are sitting. Unreal.

Of all of the stereotypes to ever grace this world, they are constantly reminding everyone that theirs are accurate.
Wimps.
Cowards.
Quitters.
From war to athletics; they do not fail us.

Well, I know Evra was benched (their captain, mind you) because he led the practice boycott. Other than that, not sure.
Either way, they've been a disgrace to the tournament....you truly have to feel for Ireland at this point.

Fuck me.
I had Suarez the last two weeks, and Forlan scored twice last week. So I sell Suarez and buy Forlan, and now Suarez scores
This is now getting interesting....South Africa is doing very well against France and Mexico is now losing. Mexico may end up getting eliminated and South Africa might somehow salvage their Cup, wow!

Crown this man.
Not to mention Ireland is sitting at home pulling their hair out knowing that they could be there fighting their asses off. Probably laughing it off over a few brews though

I just realized something....
Remember back to the opening match, when South Africa could've beaten Mexico in the final minute, and Mphela hit it off the post after receiving a longball?
If he puts that in, South Africa are through and Mexico is out.
That's how much every kick matters in this tournament.

Just fucking with you.
"Through" is one my BIGGEST pet peeves with the lingo.

Oh My Fucking God
That is the worst miss I have EVER seen. How does Yakubu miss from dead center of the goal, from TWO FUCKING YARDS OUT?!?!?!

PENALTY!
What was he thinking?!
If Yakubu had missed THAT one, he'd have been shot.

Yeah, don't remind me.
Fantasy team got 50 points (would've gotten 64 had he made it) and my Bodog account took a hit. Asshole.
