It's because the new balls are a lot less thick -from what I've heard.

Re: World Cup
 
To be fair to goalkeepers FIFA are always attempting to make it easier to score against them so it isn't really right to blame keepers alone.

Portugal v Ivory Coast was dull though, here's hoping Brazil do better

I'm happy that Portugal tied, haha. It makes Italy look less shameful. Now I'm hoping for Brazil to lose or at most, tie.

I'm also pleased with the outcome of the Slovakia vs. New Zealand game. Now, it's a four-way tie in Italy's group :)

Did you see Paraguay's keeper's impression of superman for the Italian goal. Although I can't see New Zealand or Slovakia qualifying

If Paraguay makes it past the group stage, they'll most likely play Japan or Netherlands. :D

and Crush...what are you talking about?

It looked like the Paraguay keeper was doing a superman impression when he came (and failed miserably) for a corner, from which Italy scored

Re: World Cup
 
I was really impressed with North Korea's playing today! It was amazing. Even though they were facing Brazil, the focus was too much on defense I think. Still, they really did not make it easy for Brazil. Brazil is ranked 2nd in the world and PRK something like 105?? Anyone else think that's crazy? I think the announcer mentioned it was some kind of record, like the lowest world ranked team in the World Cup since 1992? It was such a close match too.

Tommorrows results:
Honduras 1-0 Chile
Spain 3- 1 Switzerland
Uruguay 1-1 South Africa
*Who do you think will win México or France?

Re: World Cup
 
To answer your question, I think it will be a tie. France has a very poor team this year.

Re: the games today, I'm very pleased with the results of Slovakia vs. New Zealand. All four teams in Italy's group are now tied 1-1-1-1. Portugal's game was a bore but I'm surprised that it was a tie - to the Ivory Coast. Portugal is supposed to be a top contender in this World Cup; they're certainly not living up to that reputation. With the third game, it was very interesting at times. I gotta say - those North Koreans really surprised me. They had an absolutely phenomenal defense; they played very well. While Brazil won, N. Korea still scored a goal against them. Given that Brazil is supposed to be ranked #1 and N. Korea #105, it's surprising to see the outcome of that game.

I dont know i think were going to tie

I've got a £2 bet with my nan and dad where we've all picked a team and whoever's team goes furthest wins :D

It was so frustrating, England had sooo many chances to score.
My friend i was watching the match with said that she felt sorry for him but i'm sorry but it's his job. Playing for England he's meant to be one of the best goal keepers in the world. But to be honest it wasn't just that mistake that he made. Pretty sure it was in the second half but he almost made another easy mistake. It was only a fluke that he ended up saving it. I think if I was him and I'd missed it I'd be on the first flight home!

I went to Wales this weekend and oh my gosh, as soon as we walked into the pub on the first day we got there until we left we were completely slated. Our team is pretty shocking this year. But blah. i love the World cup.

Oh god. We were terrible.

We better get better before we play Slovenia because they played pretty well against USA today.

Pelios June 19th 2010 12:23 AM
Re: World Cup
 
I didn't see any games today but I was listening in the radio and the England game seemed boarding, I thought the USA was going to lose but they did pick it up in the 2nd half. This is what México looks like when we beat France. :p

Went to a British pub to watch the game. Aside from being hit on by ridiculously hot Britts with accents, the game was horrendous.

Re: World Cup
 
Ugh, what a shit game that way. Thankfully Jack Daniel's and songs about how we've still got more points than France helped.

Mind you the US did us a favour since the group is still open, if we beat Slovenia it'll go down to goal diffetrence

Slovenia - 4
USA - 2
England - 2
Algeria - 1

Next games: England v Slovenia and USA v Algeria

Given England win: England will go through

If the USA win then USA go through.
If the US draw then Slovenia go through
If the US lose then Algeria or Slovenia go through depending on goal difference


Given England Draw: Slovenia will go through

If the USA win: USA go through
If the USA draw: USA or England based on goals scored
If the USA lose: Algeria


Given England lose: Slovenia will go through

If the USA win: The USA will go through
If the USA draw: The USA will go through
If the USA lose: Algeria will go through

Ooh thankyou, muchly appreciated. Oh, not as bad as I thought. Lets just hope England beat Slovenia!!

SonicFan June 19th 2010 05:32 PM
The main thing is it's still in our hands, but we'll need to be a lot better to beat Slovenia

With Denmark winning 2-1 against Cameroon it means that Cameroon will be the first club to go home

Even I think that's an overreaction and I'm English. Although from what I gather they are not racist but likely to incite racial hatred. It's important to remember that a lot of people get stupidly patriotic for these 4 weeks

New Zealand have just took the lead against Italy in the 7th minute!

Yeah, but they certainly are more interesting than England (apologies for the heresy)

Italia against NZ what a game if it hadn't been for the penalty NZ would of rocked the whole game. :p

Couldn't agree more although Kaka should not have received that second yellow card.

A nice group of handbags xD

Go S. Koreans that's all I can say XD

Interesting match between Spain and Honduras.
Now hopefully my hay-fever clears up, and Honduras scores to make the match even more interesting :D

Haha that would be awesome.
Though for my S. Korean friends sake (who will be conscripted in the army soon), I'm glad the North got thrashed. That's for brainwashing, and murdering innocent people Kim Jong-il. No more cognac for you mate :bleh:
