RobBright 35 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 South Africa 1 - Mexico 1 should have been more but was a good opener game. thsoe damn vuvuzela though Uruguay 0 - France 0 what a bollocks game. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 yeah those vuvuzela's were a pain in the ass, sounded like a swarm of angry bees!! Mexico must feel pretty relieved, they pounded S.Africa in the 1st half and couldn't score, then S.Africa came out and turned it up a gear.....great goal. TBH S.Africa were good going forward, but as is the curse for all African teams, their defence was a shambles. Glad I didn't stay up to watch the France game......yawnfest.

Uruguay played one of the best defenses I have seen in a while. Constantly shutting down any effort of Riberie and the like. hats off to them, they could have very easily won that game with 2 specific chances. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Quote: Twelve Top Tips And Phrases For Americans Watching The World Cup. 1) The game you are watching is NOT “soccerâ€, it is called FOOTBALL. 2) At Half-Time, no matter how your team is doing, you must mutter sagely “Football is a game of two halves†and look pensive. 3) You may notice large groups of England fans (in the crowd) pointing at your fans and chanting, “You’re going home in a f*cking ambulance!â€. This is traditional friendly banter and not as aggressive as it sounds (remember, in England medical treatment is free). 4) If you win (you won’t but I’ll tell you anyway) you have to say you are “Over the moonâ€. 5) If (when) we beat you, you have to say you are “As sick as a parrotâ€. (Please feel free to Google these facts). 6) Whenever anything threatening happens at your end of the pitch, look incredulous and shout “Offside, Ref!â€. Never try to understand what “Offside†actually means, life is too short. 7) Any chanting along the lines of “Who’s the wanker, who’s the wanker, who’s the wanker in the black?†is aimed at the Referee (they traditionally wear black but nowadays may not). Feel free to chant this, whenever you are unhappy with a decision. 8) Also, helpfully remind the Ref to put on his glasses (even if he can’t hear you, through the TV screen). 9) If your team scores, pump your fist in a horizontal motion and shout “Back of the NET!â€. 10) Any excuses about losing MUST start with the phrase “At the end of the day…†for example “At the end of the day, England were a better team†or “At the end of the day, our defenders weren’t up to the jobâ€. 11) Remember that (properly watched) football is not really a “gameâ€, it is more a matter of life and death. Losing will not just affect your mood for the next few hours, it will mar your every living moment, until your team wins again. 12) Do not be confused by the number of countries taking part in the World Cup. Unlike your “World Series†more than a handful of countries are allowed to join in. Link to post Share on other sites

Uruguay reverted to their typical thuggery antics as they have no-one, except Forlan, to provide any killer balls or anyone with much prowess on the pitch. And the sending off of Lodeiro so soon into the match reinforces this. Their midfield just didn't look like they knew what they were supposed to be doing. France were just shockingly bad - why Domenahc kept Malouda and Henry on the bench for so long, and only giving them 15 quite lamentable minutes, with the only players of any saving grace were Ribery, and Diaby, who, at the end, was getting body checked so often, it was more of an ice-hockey match. Both teams could have won with their clear chances they had - Govou should have scored that goal in the first 15 mins or so. Link to post Share on other sites
