this world cup has been alright, not that much diving
only brazil and spain really and that's to be expected
Portugal are divers but there wasn't much of it in their game, Germany probably did a bit more than them

Time for a rebuild, simple as that. Six years dominance ? I’d take just one world cup for England in my lifetime !
They knew it couldn’t last forever, just like one day I won’t be the biggest deal on Saddoboxing – I accept that. It’s life
Tim Cahill is a gamer, dude will give 100% no matter what! I was most impressed with Leckie for the Aussies that guy has some wheels!!!Quote:

Soccer is ok but in North America it is a culture shock because we are used to our athletes being real men (mostly), not a bunch of sissies who drive and scream every time someone touches them.
I enjoy the skill of the game but the diving is just ridiculous.
You have never ever been the biggest deal on Saddo boxing.Quote:

Gotta love the Limeys, man. Worship a sport where people fall to the ground and roll around in anguish whenever they're touched, and then question why american football players have to wear padding.
Country of sissies. No wonder you guys haven't produced a quality fighter in years.
England is 0-2 so I guess they are rubbish on the pitch as well.
Job biscuit (shine ya shoes, guv'nah??),
Eh eh!
and woho this thread has turned into a shitfest, dude beanflicker man if you hate it so much why are you in a thread specifically about it...yeah the flopping sucks and they need to cut it out but lets not pretend NBA players aren't masters of it, American football doesn't lend itself to flopping, nor does Rugby so it doesn't occur. What I am saying is the world cup is effin awesome and why bitch and moan about it if you dont like it stay out of the thread and dont watch
I think this millenium(which isnt that old really) only brazil in 2006 have escaped the group stages after being defending champs... france bombed in 2002(won in 98), brazil did ok 2006, 2010 the italians bomed out, couldn't even beat the kiwis(only undefeated team of world cup 2010 btw) and now the spainards in 2014 S:Quote:

I've enjoyed this world cup so far, but for some reason I keep watching the plight of the flavelas type videos on youtube, it makes me sick to my stomach, yeah I still spend my day streaming the matches at work. I love to see teams punching above their weight, I'd like to see if Costa Rica can keep it going, a country that has a population barely higher than the metro area I live in.
Hard to believe that Uruguay is the smallest country of all in the World Cup though. Its about the size of Wales, yet has won several and is still producing amazing players year after year. The Colombia group with Japan, Ivory Coast and Greece has been the joker....terrible football in the Japan Greece game last night.Quote:

Country of sissies because we like football? Have you seen rugby? 200-300lb men smashing the hell out of each other with no pads. They are properly hard men. Not demeaning American Football as I enjoy that too and its apples and oranges, but don't be so ignorant.
And you do understand the football is the MOST popular sport in the world, EVERY year. All around the world. Europe, Central America, South America, Africa, large parts of Asia it is the number one sport. It's just ignorant North Americans like you that don't know that. You might not like it but it's a fact.
We kind of cant argue with what we got. I for one simply wanted to end a game knowing that the players on the pitch gave it a good go and they did. Technical shortcomings aside we tried and save for a massive slice of good fortune we'll be out at the group stage. Defensively poor, still no one willing to take responsibility for passing the ball through the middle third of the pitch and no real movement up front. The youngesters acquited themselves well. Didnt quite go for Sterling last night but he tries to make things happen and he scared Italy to death. Barkley will come good I'm sure. All the focus was on Rooney, he delivered a performance. Question marks over Gerrards place for me, I really dont see what he offeres England. The raking 40 yard balls seldom come off, he doesnt pose any real attacking threat and he doesnt have the will/skill to dictate from the middle, he's a passenger for me.

ooff don't bite pal
beanflickers got a pretend bird did you know?

Looking forward to all three matches, they should all be very competitive.
Lineker is wearing an Italkian top today, not helping. Neither is Balotelli.
