MOTHERFUCKING VUVUZELA. MAKE THEM STOP!!!!!
You can't hear no chanting, it's just awful. I think players should threaten a strike if they are not banned.

Nah. I don't like it either, sure. But they ARE playing in Africa.

Crap, I predicted a 2-0.

Which reminds me for tomorrow:

Holland - Denmark: 1-1
Japan - Cameroon: 0-1
Italy - Paraguay: 1-0

The last one, I'm VERY interested in. I figure one of these two (probably Paraguay) will be the opponent of Holland in the 1/8th final.

Well, awesome predictions so far.

Anyway, two things I've noticed:
- the African goalies are, except for those of Algeria and Cameroon, are surprisingly good. Usually they're rubbish.
- the refs and assistants are doing pretty good so far.

Yep, the ref are pretty good indeed. And Ghana's keeper was surprisingly good. Cameroon is the team that's supposed to have the best keeper of them all. I didn't see the game, was it that bad?

It was terrible. Best chance in the first half was for Denmark, Holland didn't create a thing. Sneijder tried to hard, Kuijt, Van der Vaart and Van Perseie had a bad day. First goal was a crazy own goal (high ball in, Poulsen heads it against the back of another Dane into the goal). And after that, Holland didn't really create chances until Elia came onto the pitch, which was about after 70 minutes.

Cameroon indeed has a good goalie. On the bench.

Only saw the first half of the Netherlands games and my thoughts were that Van Persie still needs reminding that he has partners on the pitch. You'd think he would have learned that by now...

The problem was more that Van der Vaart went into the center of the pitch, instead of staying on the left. That, and him and Sneijder at times were on their own half. Not where yhey should be.


Just saw the last five minutes of Ivoray Caost - Portugal. Seems like that was a great match.

Ah yes, Bastos... the guy who wasn't even good enough for Feyenoord's satellite club, let alone for Feyenoord.

yeah have to admit germany have been the only entertaining side so far.

This whole world cup is being ruined by the flyaway ball, lack of air resistance, negatitive tactics and them shit horns

I'm rooting for France and it'll be my bane. What the fuck is Anelka doing in there? And Govou? Come on guys, get your fingers out of your collective asses and play some football.
