The "OMG, Football World Championship in Germany!!!!" - thread - Page 4

*Anarky* · 06-13-2006, 01:55 PM

Nope, not M6, TSR 1. The swiss french channel. Maybe they're the same guys as on M6, but they were quite funny.

So, here's my guesses for tomorrow:

Spain - Ukraine: Spain wins, not a question.

Tunisia - Saudi Arabia: Ladies, Gentlemen, we have our final right here. Those two teams know neither mercy nor what a ball is. Their ways of playing will be very original and not centered around the ball. Also, their keepers will most likely use the "Keep all players inside the goal"-strategy to fulfill their mission as a keeper. This, ladies and gentlemen, is football. This is what it's gotta be like!

Germany - Poland: The Polacks should win. The Germans deserve to lose because they not only butcher the Championship for marketing purposes, make way too much commercials, think of themselves as the best, no, now they also think that every idiot can comment a game on TV without even knowing how the players' names are pronounced. Also, the Polacks gotta have their revenge for 1939.

Not to forget because of that twisted soccer-patriotism.

I say, patriotism is something this country totally lacks so bring it on!

*Anarky* · 06-13-2006, 04:04 PM

Ugh, Kid A's right, football fandom is among the worst fandoms around. It's not about patriotism (I couldn't care less about a healthy amount of that), but about the fact that many football fans see being a fan as excuse to permanently switch off their brains and act as if they were uncivilized monkeys.

**Barkworm** · 06-13-2006, 04:06 PM

This is all I have to say about that:

*Anarky* · 06-13-2006, 04:07 PM

Oh, you vile bastard! You know exactly how to melt my heart!

Dinny · 06-13-2006, 04:26 PM

Brazil - Croatia was... disappointing.

I'm really looking forward to Spain - Ukraine tomorrow. Should be a good contest.

Probably the best world cup advert in the world.

I might take a pic of myself as a crazy soccer-patriot tomorrow. I have a scarf, a T-shirt and two flags. And I can wear them all. And ONLY them.

And Brazil - Croatia was quite good and had some really kickass actions - still, I expected more goals.

*iris* · 06-13-2006, 05:32 PM

Can someone tell me, what the heck is this all about? Swedish people... yeh...

*Anarky* · 06-13-2006, 05:41 PM

It is obviously a music video, easily recognizable by the subtle use of music in the clip. Also, it's got people in it. They can be found by watching out for humans in the video. Furthermore, they're singing about football, probably understandable by looking at the word "Fussball".

Any more dumb questions?

*iris* · 06-13-2006, 08:53 PM

Thanks, Anarky, you're the helpfulest guy ever. :p

*Dr. Doom* · 06-13-2006, 09:09 PM

omfg in us we call it soccer lol

**Barkworm** · 06-14-2006, 12:23 AM

Doom, Latveria is not qualified, sorry.

*Kid Icarus* · 06-14-2006, 12:34 AM

We have the World Cup on TV at work all the time now.... and I've got to say, it's really interesting. And I normally don't care for sports either.

Like a couple days ago, I saw someone get kicked in the face with a soccer ball. SO COOL OMG!

Seriously though, interesting stuff.

We had the Brazil vs. Croatia match on.. didn't catch who won.

06-14-2006, 12:35 AM

Is it true in the World Soccer rules that when a country loses, they have to have a small piece of the country blown up?

No. I'm not going to bring any owl-related issues to this Holy Thread.

Yes. That's how the lakes are formed in general.

And OMG - what a day. Spain - Ukraine should be a good spectacle. Tunisia - Saudi Arabia should be amusing. Germany - Poland should make me cry, either from joy or despair.

*eats more sugar*

Dinny · 06-14-2006, 06:40 AM

A few stats as the first round of games draws to a close:
The top scoring teams so far are; Germany (4); Mexico (3); Australia (3); Czech Rep. (3).
The teams which have received the most cards are Togo (4 YC, 1 RC); Switzerland (5 YC); Trinidad (3 YC, 1 RC); Australia (4 YC).
The teams with the most tackles are Croatia (36); Sweden (36); Trinidad (36); Angola (34).
There have been 31 goals in 14 matches (including some really great goals).
It's shaping up to be the best World Cup ever. Well done, Germany!

I've just realized that most of my posts in this thread are spam.

DEUTSCHLAND!!!!!

*Sewer Bull* · 06-14-2006, 09:58 AM

The Spaniards totally pwnt Ukraine. They won 4-0 yet I'm pretty sure they could have won even twice as high, if they had been more lucky in some situations. Torres scored a brilliant goal after such a wonderful team action. The Ukrainians weren't even able to shoot properly at the empty Spanish goal (vide one of the very last situations). And as for Sheva... did he even play in this match? *sarcasm*

Dinny · 06-14-2006, 10:10 AM

Spain were brilliant. Make no mistake, Ukraine are a good team. Could this finally be Spain's year?
As for the red card? Incredibly harsh decision. I'm not sure that it was even a foul nevermind a red card.
And Sewer Bull, you're right. Shevchenko did nothing today but step on the ball.
