Katie! Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I can honestly say I'm still laughing at the goal that was scored against England. I spent the afternoon spamming Team America songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 [font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Ah how I enjoyed taunting my English friends over their performance in that match. The Americans played well to give them their credit but there was something terribly wrong with England during that match. They'd seriously want to improve their game if they think they have a hope of reaching the quarter finals, let alone further.[/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's too bad for them because even in the wake of England's clusterf*** they still couldn't quite pull it together neatly. Not that I'm complaining, mind you =P[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korey Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 [color="#000080"][size="2"][font="Garamond"]I watched the England-USA match and I was just underwhelmed by the US team. For how much time ESPN spends lauding the team and how it's the best team we've had in years, the match didn't live up to the hype. I think that botched save by the England goalie really demoralized the team and they just couldnt' recover (not that I'm downplaying Howard's goalkeeping ability). But a lot of these matches that I've been watching have been a little too conservative. I've seen so many ties, it makes me wonder if the competition is really this good or if the competition is really just that bad at scoring.[/font][/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 [font="Tahoma"][size="2"]I think we are going to see some tactical football at this point in the competition which is a bit of a shame because it does lead to some really unimpressive performances, at least from teams we should see better from. A lot of teams want to see how their potential opposition are reacting to the climate in South Africa and how that could potentially affect their football. In England's case however I think they expected to just walk out and over the Americans and when they didn't it spooked them into some very defensive oriented play, that and Gerard and Lampard just couldn't sync well together for most of the match.[/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) Soccer-Football 1-1 is just sad. America wasn't doing well enough to deserve a draw. But England was behaving like a bunch of tarts anyway. Germany is on a roll though. And Australia is just sucking badly (and they're shouting too much). Can't wait for the Netherlands - Denmark during working hours. :^D By the way, the only South Africans using the vuvuzelas seem to be the whites trying to suppress the blacks' cheering.

BUT I think that red card on Cahill was BS because it did not look intentional. And now Australia is panicking and they are playing even worse and Germany is going to further exploit that. Too bad, since the Aussies have in fact had some great opportunities. They're stressing me right out. edit: 4-0 Germany, 20 minutes to go =/ painful.[/font] Edited June 13, 2010 by mapthesoul.

Sorry, USA, it's cool that you drawed with England and stuff but the team was lacking and so uncoordinated compared to England's, and that's saying something because England wasn't even playing very well. If USA had gotten another goal, they wouldn't have deserved to win. Even the one goal they DID get was just because of Green's **** up... It's not really an "excuse" but I'm tired of Americans acting like our team is the **** right now, because they really aren't. Also, it's just sad that England didn't manage to beat the USA, which isn't even a "football country." Edited June 13, 2010 by eleanor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Asphyxia Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 [font="'Arial Narrow"][size=2]Me = shattered. Can't entirely claim to be surprised. We were hopefully optimistic but it just didn't work. Germany is one of the best teams in the world -- they've gotten to the semi-finals or above 11 times. Australia's only gotten into the world cup 3 times. At the end of the day....we were just outplayed. [/size][/font] [font="'Arial Narrow"][size=2] [/size][/font] [font="'Arial Narrow"][size=2]I think the worst part in all this is that we've now lost Cahill for the game against Ghana. I'm hopeful we'll be okay, but... *shrug* [/size][/font] [font="'Arial Narrow"][size=2] [/size][/font] [font="'Arial Narrow"][size=2] [/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Honestly, so far the Dutch team is pretty pathetic as well, while Denmark is playing ace in defense. [b]Update:[/b] [spoiler]Thanks to trickster Elia with his exotic football feet and Denmark, we ended up on 2-0. Second half was better, but until Elia came in, not impressive. No extra kudos for Kuyt because he scored, because if he wouldn't have been there he'd suck. :^D[/spoiler] Edited June 14, 2010 by Lady Shy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdarianDreamer Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 The South Africa vs Uruguay game was entertaining, but ended up to be a lopsided 3-0 win for Uruguay. Tough luck for the hosts, as it looks like they'll be the first host nation to miss out on the second round. But hopefully, that will make mean the annoying vuvuzelas will be less prominent.
