Official World Cup Thread

yeah, it is kinda gay when soccer players fake injuries but try to think of it in a different perspective. In sports like football, baseball or basketball, when a player is fouled and shaken up, he gets a little bit of time to make sure he isnt hurt too bad, like kinda walk off the pain. But in soccer, the game is constantly moving, so if you go down, and youre hurting right away, you stay down a little just to make sure youre okay. If you get up right away you have no chance to walk off the pain because as soon as youre up, the game continues. its like buying a little break so you can rest. sports like football or baseball dont have the same fatigue problems that soccer players do.
 
YES......GO ITALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so glad that we got it to the finals...to show you italian hating yankees that yes...italians can play soccer way better than americans ever will...deal with it...

BRING THE HATE
 
Yeah a good point, but in football, you do get games that are so exciting, and a losing team can turn it around to a win in the last few minutes. You should have watched the FA cup final this year, Liverpool vs West Ham, West ham are 3-2 up, and in something like the 92nd minute Steven Gerrard volleys the ball in from 45 yards past 15 players to equalise, and to go on to win a just as exciting penalty shootout. If you support Liverpool, you cant beat that for excitement

Also i think that although baseball may have some exciting parts at the end of the game, its lacking something as theres a limit to the skill level, you hit a ball, and if you hit it far enough, then you get a home run. Im not saying that baseball isnt hard, but it just doesnt compare to football, where there is so much variety in the way you can score, and it can be so much more beautiful than baseball, like when brazil are on form, its just magic.
 
umm dude your an idiot. I don't think anybody actually thought American was better than Italy. Yes we tied, but nobody actually thinks the US is better
 
I predict france beats portugal, and France beats Italy thus winning it all. While Germany beats Portugal in the 3rd/4th place game...whatever happens I hope portugal and italy loose..even tho portugal is entertaining sometimes.
 
^ If they play France, I think France will take it. This is going to be back and forth close calls until someone slows down the play with first goal. It'll come before second half I think.
 
i think it was a pk because he did hit henrys leg, of course henry fell easily but anybody would have in that situation! although some decisions the ref has made has been pretty weird
 
no way, that was definitely a legit pk. the defender who was already on the ground clipped Henry's leg, when he had an opportunity to make a break for the goal. that pk was definitely warranted
 
Fuck that ref, the pk was not a foul, it wasn't intensional. I have to say the refs this world cup are terrible, and are fucking wrecking the game.
 
OMFG....henry did the huggest dive i have ever seen...he just knelt down held his hands up like an idiot....def. not a PK...
 
you should have been in the stands it was hardcore, with everyoen screaming at the refs when that happened
 
haha, are you kidding??? the defender was on the ground and he brought his other leg around to trip Henry so he couldn't get to the ball and score. the ball was 5 feet away when Henry was triped.
 
yeh i know i just wanted to see how long it would take for someone to go apeshit on me...w/e...if portugal can tie it up and they go to penalty kicks...i am confident that Portigual will win.
 
I was going to go against you, but you're right he doesn't dive all the time... just sometimes.

He's a baby though, Champions league final I thought he was going to leave his silver medal on the field and shit on it.
 
ronaldo is playing like a little bitch...im sorry to say and wasnt he in a joga bonita add talking about how to just play the game and how its not soccer to fake everything?
 
Ronaldo is a diving little bitch. That last few minutes of play time was fucking intense. The French keeper almost fucked up big time with that.
 
YEAH FRANCE!! So happy they won. But I definitely have to say that it seems like Portugal is the new Italy and C. Ronaldo is the new Totti. It's like hmmm, walk much? Sorry, you are too busy practicing your theatrics to bother staying up.
 
PORTUGAL =
