Like I said, I watched the stupid game and I have NO idea what happened. Ties ("draws") blow. That is all there is to it. You play to WIN. Winning is ALL there is. It is the reason you play! Anything less is FAILURE, especially at this level!!! You do whatever you must to win. ANYTHING. Ties and whatnot are for children in schoolyards. No hurt feelings. Mommy makes it all better, etc.
And as I mentioned, I never feel it is right to blame a referee. They are not PLAYING. They are OFFICIATING. I actually LIKE the "human element". Mistakes are part of sport, for both for players AND officials. It makes things interesting. It keeps it "real". |

Lol... Quieter... A dedicated Brazil fan is lurking around, betting shirts...
Well, I certainly agree about 2002 and 2006 world cups... Even though I do not like Italy. I dont remember 86 and 94.

Oh, come on... Both sides play to win, and sometimes it just happens that both sides are equally good. Besides, when there has to be a winner there are tiebreakers. Right now, they play for points.
As far as refs are concerned.. Sometimes refs do influence the outcome of the match. If it wasnt for refs, France wouldnt even be on the cup, thats how much they can influence things. But yeah, no point dwelling on it, and the human element thing is interesting, I must say.

Ties are a pain, but in close tournaments it can be the make or break for many teams. As far as I have head, the 3rd goal wasn't allowed due to shoving of some sort. Not sure though. I must find a highlights video and see for myself.

Maybe not even that, provided that Algerians draw with the US in the next round. Anyway, it was a very good day today. It would have been better if we won against the US, but whats done is done...

Mano y mano. Head to head. Gland in gland.....well, you get the idea.
As I still don't (and likely never will) understand this game, I will root with all my nationalistic fervor for a "victory", if that is possible, over the reviled Slovenian infidels!!! FIE I say!!! They shall be reduced to grass fodder!! Pounded and left for dead as the mighty Americans flex their soccer superiority for "all" the world to witness!!!
There now. Have I sufficiently captured the essence of this truly epic event??? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! |

Well now strat, old boy!! Looks like today is THE day, no? The big "showdown"! I actually have the television on and I am watching (sort of) this Germany/Serbia match as I wait, with as much anticipation as I am able to muster, for our big face off! Mano y mano. Head to head. Gland in gland.....well, you get the idea.

Great game between Mexico and France! I was rooting for Mexico, and they certainly didnt let me down. Now, truth be told, I think that the first goal was scored from an offside, but since they were playing against a team that cheated its way into the cup, that doesnt bother me much. The penalty was clean, in any case.
Cant wait for tomorrow - Serbia vs. Germany (rooting for Serbia, of course), then in the afternoon... -insert drum roll here- Slovenia vs. USA! Keep your shirts Guido - I am NOT betting! |

Nice balls Guido.
The new ball looks great! Seems that its made out of a lot less pieces of leather than the previous ones. I can certainly see how it makes keepers pissed.

Me too, obviously, but I really don't know of too many people who would understand spending a mint on a ball that will never be used. Probably end up sealing it in mylar! HAAA!! Still, worth every penny.
