***Official World Cup Talk Thread***

[shel311]

Pot, kettle.

I'll admit I'm wrong when you admit Coach Cal isn't clean and it's not a "joke" to claim Coach K is the best coach in college hoops.

Deal?

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL DANIELLE DE ROSSI REDEEMS HIMSELF!!!

What the hell is it with goalkeeper mistakes in this tournament???

[jsence2]

Pot, kettle.

Apples and Oranges.

I PROVED you were wrong; and what you want me to admit are your "opinions".

Like I said, you're a joke.

Guy got shoved down there, I guess that was a dive too? Not a penalty, just two guys going for a 50/50 ball, but I'm sure you'll see it as a dive.

[shel311]

Yea, you proved me wrong, but no one can prove Coach Cal is dirty or it's a "joke" to say Coach K is the best.


I'm a joke? LOLZ. So so so ironic.

[Cnasty]

I love the World Cup.

If you show me PROOF Coach Cal is "dirty", as in an NCAA sanction--not your interpretation of events--then I'll say yes, he's dirty. And then I'd want him gone.

As for Coach K being the best, I didn't say that was a joke. I don't agree with you at all, but it's not a joke. Saying Pitino or Thad Motta is the best coach, that would be a joke.

I'm saying you're a joke because you make an "argument" (cuz that's all you seem to do), and when it's disproven, you simply shift the focus to another area to be "right"

And I'm the joke?

You're right, those teams get a lot of calls as well, but their coaches are not the devil like that of Duke.

By devil you must mean best current coach in college basketball.

HAH.

That's a joke. I'd take Izzo over Coach K any day. Same talent levels, Izzo outcoaches the Rat any day of the week.

There you go again....we're discussing something here and now, which is what I thought you were referring to, and you change it to something a long time ago, to "win" your argument.

And I stand by that statement--because it WAS a joke for you to say it, when you wouldn't have said it 24 hours before. You need to take things in context, seriously--to say someone is "the best there is" simply because he wins his first title in 10 years? Did he become "the best" overnight by simply winning a title over BUTLER?

Now....back to topic, about time di Natale got on the pitch. He should've been there from the start, he's in great form.

It's amazing how they can show a replay of a play literally less than 2 seconds after the play happens.

FIFA has terrific camera work.

All the replays you see are FIFA replays. The feed you get is international, all ESPN does is rebroadcast it. They have no editing capabilities other than the scoreboard overlay.

[jsence2]

We just got lucky....Camoranesi should've just been sent off.

I can't deal with the fucking vuvuzelas. I'd rather have apartheid back than have those things around.

They are getting annoying.

Horrible call there, Chiellini got that fair and square.

One point works for me, this was going to be Italy's toughest match in the group. New Zealand is an easy three points, and Slovakia should cause little problems.

[packsyD22]

They aren't going to ban them either the President of FIFA has said.

I have heard reports that players cant even sleep at night because of these things.

[TEEwade]

Why you want him gone if hes dirty?

[trendon]

They are getting annoying.

Getting? I want to beat them all with them! I don't see the Scots showing up with 50,000 bagpipes and blowing them off all game. No, they have the fucking sense to know that it's stupid to behave this way! STFU! Even the Costa Ricans hate it and they seem to like any noise that can possibly be made.

Go Paraguay!

I can't imagine paying thousands of dollars to go watch the world cup and having some annoying person behind me blowing that in my ear for 90 minutes. Its annoying enough on TV. Seriously don't know why those weren't banned.

And by "some annoying person" you mean THOUSANDS of annoying people.

Drives me freakin insane.

I am watching the game and I feel like I am being attacked by a hord of killer bees and I get that itchy, bug feeling.
