Official Football Thread of Arsenel rolls over Barcelona

We are? We don't have a team. We have an aggregate of stubborn little bitches. I do feel bad for the manager because I like him and he is very competent but he also has little choice of who to pick for the national team. Ah shit, go Korea.

What are you talking about? Portugal was very organized against Cote. In fact that's why there weren't much shots at goal from anyone! Both teams were so well organized the tactics nulled each other.

What's wrong with Portugal is the non-portuguese players. THey don't give two shits about our country what are they doing there.

I don't know, Queiroz to me, doesn't seem to have the same authority Scolari had, no matter how mad he was at Baía, some of his choices for the World Cup seem a bit far fetched and his tactics he used against the Ivory Coast(but then agai it's not like Ivory Coast was playing all that great either) were not working.

The portuguese players were clearly intimidated and afraid to make a mistake, afraid to lose the ball and having to defend(which doesn't make sense, as Portugal has a great defense), more worried about ball possession.

North Korea is not impossible to beat, but we should be careful. As We already have a history with Korean teams.

But I think Brazil should be extra careful with Ivory Coast tonight.

indeed... if Brazil manages to draw against Ivory Coast, and Portugal beats North Korea by a 2-0 score, then Portugal will only need to draw against Brazil.

Isn't it right as well that if both Portugal and Brasil win this round, a tie between both is enough for both to pass? Only this way, Portugal places 2nd (which might be great, since Spain will likely be 2nd place in their group)

[fernandeath]

Cameroon is the first team to be eliminated from the world cup. Every other team has, so far, arithmetic chances to go to the next 'round'.

I believe Italy won't lose to New Zeland tomorrow. but if they manage to draw, then Italy will in the same situation as 'big' teams like France; Germany and England.

Next week's games are going to be very 'dramatic'.

Italy IS in the same situation as 'big' teaqms like France; Germany and England

Wow, I don't get it...



Did Kaka really elbow the guy or was the other guy just faking it?

Anyway, Brazil has now moved on to the qualifying round.

So tomorrow, I'll pray Portugal will North Korea's butts, if so then I guess we can safely move on to the qualifying rounds, all we have to do is tie with Brazil and it's all smooth sailing for here on end(and assuming Ivory Coast loses to North Korea, but I don't see that happening).

[fernandeath]

the guy faked it... he should have recieved a red card for being such an actor...

[crackdude]

The cat's in the bag. Just don't fuck up with Korea tomorrow.

F**K YEAH!!!!!


Yoooohooo!

Best match of the whole cup. I'm calling it!

[crackdude]

Thank you Portugal.

[fernandeath]

Great game, indeed.

HAs anyone else watched the 'Chile x Switzerland' game?
Switzerland deffensive/retreated tactic is quite boring to watch.
OVerall Chile played very well.
