| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Apart from diving (which also happens in hockey), footy is fucking awesome. I was thinking of getting a large sheet of paper to put up on my van's back window, saying "GO TOGO!" Mexico just beat Iran 3-1. I was hoping some of Argentina's strikers would get injured simply for the reason of seeing Aguero getting the chance to play. The little fucker's only 17 and he is the future of football. (btw: the remainder of this thread should use "football" or "footy" or as THE term of reference.) I will stand toe to toe with anyone about Aguero. Sure, Messi - who's only 18 - is sensational, but fifteen years from now I'll bet Aguero will have a more memorable career. Wouldn't want to be a Swedish fan right now. - Sun, 11 Jun 2006 11:05am Edited: Sun, 11 Jun 2006 11:07am | ||

Good soccer (err... footy according to Curmudgeon Rocker)!!! BTW: In regards to the Rogers Cel phone ad for world cup, there's actually 2 versions out, I heard the other one, that was so stupid. But I just don't get the logic in the commercial, "Well we're off to World Cup, turns out the world actually did show up." Wow, nice to see Rogers features stupid Canadians in their ad... ;) - Sun, 11 Jun 2006 4:08pm Edited: Sun, 11 Jun 2006 4:14pm | ||

I'm a big Kezman fan, but not a big enough Serb-Neg fan to root for them when they're playing someone funky like Holland, despite van Nistleroy doing some of the dirtiest shit I've seen in the last couple years - I hate'im. - Sun, 11 Jun 2006 11:59pm Edited: Mon, 12 Jun 2006 12:09am | ||

| trevor corey User Info... | What a fucking joke. I'd red card the whole damn tournament. After what happened to Australia I cannot watch anymore.Europeans are a bunch of whiney diving babies. How anyone can watch this garbage let alone make it the number one sport in the world blows my mind. The only reason it's the number one sport is cause it's cheap to play and all the poor people of the world can partake. If the players start throwing punches instead of cheap ass head butts, if the refs can do their jobs without corruption, if the players can stop cheap shots and diving, and if Canada can ever get in, then maybe I'll watch again. For now I'll just sit back and watch Dave Nonis put together a new Canucks team, and wait patiently for October GO ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 - Mon, 26 Jun 2006 3:14pm Edited: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 3:17pm | ||

Shovkovskyi kept out Swiss attempts by Streller and Cabanas, while Barnetta smashed against the bar and it was left to Gusev to win it for Ukraine.

| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Poor Spain - never getting their shit together for the "big one". Not that it ultimately mattered, obviously, but the second French goal should have been disallowed because of offside. I take it, Griph, you are surprised by Ghana's appearance, as oppposed to the score, which is what your punctuation seems to indicate. I guess ol' Ronaldo ain't QUITE yet old'n busted.

| _Griphin_ User Info... | Oops, sorry, that does look confusing. I was annoyed France took Ghana out, even if France's 3rd goal (scored by Zidane) was awesome, it's like France scored the 2nd goal (in the 83rd minute) and Ghana just fell apart. Oh, and Renaldo broke the # of goals scored in the World Cup (by one person). Sigh, no games till Friday :(. - Wed, 28 Jun 2006 10:55am Edited: Wed, 28 Jun 2006 10:56am | ||

Sunday: France beats Germany 4/5 in shoot out. Ballack, bowing out of the previous game, will suffer one of the most grotesgue injuries in World Cup history: comparable to Joe Theisman's fuckin gross injury, Ballack will collide in a sloppy challenge with..........let's say Figo, where Ballack's femur will completely snap into a compound fracture as bone sticks out of his leg, and the lower half of his calf - as he tries to point it up - dangles, or more like droops back downwards (a u-turn of flesh, you could say), in a sort of Dali-esgue kinda droopiness. Upon viewing this on the big stadium screen, the crowd of 80,000 react in a mass sorta revulsion, with mass pukings going on everywhere, to the extent that the stadium (only fifteen minutes into the game) takes on that Superdome-one-month-after-Katrina kinda bouquet........but pukier. It is the pukingest World Cup ever. - Mon, 3 Jul 2006 8:01pm Edited: Mon, 3 Jul 2006 8:13pm | ||

| J User Info... | personally i cant stand Italy's defensive posture, just boring to watch a dump and chase on the pitch(theres no place for it in hockey and theres no place for it here). Portugal, i just hate christiano ronaldo... that little bitch whines at every fucking call made, and has an ear-ring that i would glady rip out at moments notice just to see the tear out of his crying eye. as my predictions, Germany handled Argentina quite handely once they figured out that the defence wasn't as potent as thier offence. Now, with Italy's defensive capabilities and Buffon in net... hopfully ze Germans remember how to take walls down, cause if they cant score early and force italy to become more offensive which might create holes that Germany are excellent at taking, then we could see another penalty kick decision. With the other side of the draw set, France and Portugal... My call is France wipes the shit out of Portugal. Think about it, former world cup champs, miss out the last elimination round('02) and finally they scrape their way into the elimination... and what do we see? a renewed offense from Henry(finally) and Zidane is finally taking charge, and Bartez finally stopping shots and not fancying himself infront of a mirror. Looking much like the team that won the cup!(but hopfully not this time around). With all that being said GO GERMANY GO!!!!!!!!! side note: Griph... if you side with argentina on that own goal you should watch the video of maradona... you'll probly tell me it was his head :P(tho he did have quite the mound of fuzz on his head) - Tue, 4 Jul 2006 10:27am Edited: Tue, 4 Jul 2006 10:29am | ||
| brando User Info... | "personally i cant stand Italy's defensive posture, just boring to watch a dump and chase on the pitch" I'll assume, as a Germany fan, you'll actually take the time to watch Italy play today. You'll be surprised to notice that their "defensive posture" is arguably the most controlled and composed in the world. It's actually quite remarkable how calmly players like Cannavaro and Zambrotta clear the ball out of their own area. The ball rarely leaves the ground when they outlet to the midfield. Anyways... kick-off in 25 minutes. Observe. - Tue, 4 Jul 2006 11:34am | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Hate on their "posture" all you like. It is their style and they are sticking with it. Make the other team pay for allowing a goal and frustrate the shit out of them for 73 minutes or whatever the time might be. Truly satisfying to watch for a half-WOP like me. - Tue, 4 Jul 2006 4:04pm | ||
| J User Info... | curses to all of you! but the game was worth every minute... I realize that Italy is the best in the world... at defence. Its just boring to watch the last 73 mintues of a game when you know that the team has the capability of producing like 10 goals a game. Look at the foot talent italy has! either way, as my half homeland team is knocked out... i can only cheer for the team that knocked them out, cause if they win at least Germany went out to the champs! so GO ITALY GO! - Tue, 4 Jul 2006 5:43pm | ||

| Mr. Hell User Info... | J, you are a big person for accepting the defeat gracefully. Italy could go and try to score a bunch more goals, but that is how your defense lapses and you blow leads. It may not be the most exciting strategy to watch if you're not an Azzurri backer, but it is a thrill if you are. Come Sunday, you might love the Italian brickwall. France better come out swinging. I know Cannavaro and Co. are still pissed about the 1998 quarter-final loss. - Wed, 5 Jul 2006 4:16pm Edited: Wed, 5 Jul 2006 4:19pm | ||

| Mr. Hell User Info... | Fuck yes! A long time coming. Seeing them raise the World Cup was amazing. I don't like the shootout to decide such a tournament, but seeing Barthez looking despondant was a huge satisfaction point. Zidane is a moron. What a disgraceful end to a brilliant career. Headbutting a chest in the World Cup final? Your true colours came through. Have fun in the pasture. - Sun, 9 Jul 2006 2:13pm Edited: Sun, 9 Jul 2006 2:13pm | ||

| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Yes - seeing Donald "Barthez" Pleasnace looking despondent was indeed a huge satisfaction point. When they showed Zidane shaking hands with Chirac today, I wish ZiZu would've given the president a mock head-butt........you know......for shits'n giggles. /curious as all-freaking-get-out if Juventus gets demoted to Serie C because of the fixing scandals. - Mon, 10 Jul 2006 8:21pm Edited: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 8:30pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... |  Earlier claims about Materazzi having called his opponent a "dirty terrorist" have been denied by Materazzi, who reportedly said: "It is absolutely not true, I did not call him a terrorist. I'm ignorant. I don't even know what the word means." According to the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, Materazzi recounted the incident as follows: "I held his shirt for a few seconds only, then he turned to me and talked to me, jeering. He looked at me with a huge arrogance and said: 'If you really want my shirt, I'll give it to you afterwards'. I replied with an insult, that's true." He repeatedly denied the accusation that the comment was racist in nature. He also denied insulting Zidane's mother, saying: "I certainly didn't talk about Zidane's mother" because to him "the mother is sacred". Zidane's mother had been taken ill to hospital hours before the World Cup final. According to Materazzi, it was "the type of insults that we've heard before so many times on the pitch, and sometimes we don't even notice it". In an interview Zidane said that he would reveal what Materazzi said after a few days, as soon as he felt comfortable with it. (Verdens Gang, 11th July 2006, page 2, sports part of the newspaper) France defender William Gallas was adamant Zidane was provoked into the headbutt. "I didn't see it but sometimes football is not only with the ball, sometimes when you have a player who is very clever and says something to you then maybe you are angry and want to 'kill' that player. Maybe, and I say maybe, he has made a mistake." - Tue, 11 Jul 2006 10:46am Edited: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 10:49am | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Provoked with words or not, the guy is a turd. - Wed, 12 Jul 2006 4:21pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | He's not a turd. He lost his head and did somethign stupid. He got sent off and, if he ever played another game in international play, would have earned himself a few games suspension. Regardless of provocation, you don't do that shit in soccer. But some dudes lose their cool and pay the price and have to live with it. The end. I can't fucking believe what a big deal everybody's making about this. It doesn't matter a goddamn what Materazzi said. Zidane was punished appropriately, and his reasons don't fucking matter. If Materazzi said something, that can be dealt with however FIFA sees fit. But it's not a moral either/or. What Materazzi said doesn't change what Zidane did. I've heard people say Italy should give back the World Cup if Materazzi said something. That's a load of fucking bullshit. I'm also heard peple claim that there's no way Materazzi could have said something racist, and that never happens in soccer. Even bigger load of bullshit. - Wed, 12 Jul 2006 5:32pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | He lost his cool near the end of a crucial game that was to decide the winner of the World Cup, possibly costing his team the shootout win (we'll never know, but one can speculate what may have happened if Zidane took the shot that missed?). Plus it was his last game...tarnishing your career over one headbutt is a turd-brained thing to do, in my opinion. Yeah, he is one of the best, but he is also a turd. I'm glad Italy won. I'm glad Zidane lost his cool. Thanks Zidane, you turd. - Thu, 13 Jul 2006 5:36pm | ||

And besides, it doesn't hurt to practice the ol' freestyle Hiemlich once in a while. /I am reminded of Zizu stomping on a Saudi Arabian player in the '98 World Cup. /actually come to think of it - isn't that what Rooney did too, to get red-carded and lose it for Britain?

| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | I stand corrected about who lost it for Britain. Not Rooney. It was Joe Cole, who had a golden opportunity - from only seven yards out - to convert an easy cross. Even I could have done it on acid after having just seen a Christopher Cross concert. A major shame for me cuz he's been my favourite Chelsea player (Cole, that is) ever since he came over from Tottenham. Lampard and Terry are cool too (except Terry's WC blunder against Equador and come to think of it Lampard's TONS of missed chances), but there's not a lot of players who can move the ball and deek like Cole. That kinda finesse where it looks like the ball is attached to the foot. He's been inconsistent though, except, however, for the majority of last season - Morinho had confidence in him and played him quite a bit. Awesome-est World Cup moment: Fabien "Don't You Fucking Call Me Donald Pleasance" Barthez spilling an EASY ball that went to some opposing striker (can't rmember who) who blew an equally easy chance to score. As play resumed, the cool technicians showed a replay of an angry (and WAY better goalie) Gregory Coupet sitting on the bench, his arms folded, and then sticks one clawed hand out, grasping, frantically, all over the place, while one of the commentators makes a wonderfully apropos reference to window-washing. The only thing I've seen Donald Pleasance do well is boot the ball really fucking far. /last time I'll ever use the word "apropos". - Fri, 21 Jul 2006 9:50pm Edited: Fri, 21 Jul 2006 10:00pm | ||
