FIFA World Cup 2010 Finals Thread

Wouldnt it be funny if North Korea actually own tonight against Brazil. I mean no one knows the team and they're flying in Chinese fans to cheer for them since the people of North Korea cannot travel... So who knows.... Maybe theyve secretly been training for months and months..... I highly doubt it though in the end and I also cant wait to see if Andriano is going to play.... I was a huge fan of his in his good days at Inter, so itching to see how he plays now after being in Brazil for a while...

I saw a video of the North Korean team training in a public gym, much to the amusement of the locals. The players were even asking the locals to participate in their photos.

Wow, that's pathetic. They should have some pretty good team chemistry at the very least. It's not like they primarily play club soccer.

, It wouldn't be anywhere near funny.

Regarding Adriano, he's doing quite well in Flamengo and he got a transfer to play for Roma in this season. Reasons of his absence include: too many parties, constantly missing training sessions and many others.... Honestly, Grafite from wolfsburg deserved the chance, our team can perform better without him, Luis Fabiano is superior in many aspects.

Adriano isn't in South Africa.

Tree'd.

And here comes Slovakia, screwing up my prediction.

1-0

 

[Omnis]

Man of the match is Hamsik's hairgel.

 

[arvore]

yeah, good luck

Thanks(I guess we will need some)

Whoa!

I voted for 0-0 New Zealand vs Slovakia, 1-1 Portugal and Ivory Coast (Although I reckon Portugal as the winner of this match, I've bet in a tie, just as a lucky guess) and 3-0 Brazil and Evil Korea.

And here comes Slovakia, screwing up my prediction.

1-0

Lets just hope your other predictions are also wrong

Portugal will win today's match, I was just trying to make a lucky guess and win more money, just that. Drogba will play using a protection on the arm, so he might not be able to use his full potential, and I'm eager to see Ronaldo in action again. Whilst I don't like his pedantic style, I reckon him as the best player iin the world by far ( amongst Messi ).

Still 1-0, C'mon New Zealand!

I couldn't agree more with You,now,see...

 

[Sureboss]

Oh, i think this afternoon could see Portugal falter and show the first shock defeat of the WC.

 

[Blitz187]

Adriano isn't in South Africa.

Tree'd.

Is he off partying again because he got transfered to Roma? I couldve sworn he was going as well... but you are from Brazil so I will not argue if you say he's not there 👍

 

[arvore]

WOW big surprise...I guess the game isn't over until the 90 Minutes.

You'll get your money after all Dan...👍

He was partying before being transfered to Roma. I think that's why he went back to Italy actually, things were going downhill for him over here.

Got my first prediction right. I'm telling you guys, 6x0 Brazil!

 

[Omnis]

What a painful match. Bad football and bad fauxhawks.

Wohohohohoho!!!!

Nice, this is what call football, a goal in the very last moment of the game!

It isn't a lot of money by the way, everyone guessed a tie.

I'll stick to livemusic predictions, he's been quite assertive so fingers crossed, whoever scores more in North Korea has better chances to advance in first position in this group, and then, avoid facing Spain.

 

[ed24]

at least New Zealand restored some pride to Oceania (obviously the continent not the confederation now that Australia is in Asia)

That Group is very open now, it could come down to goal difference in the end.


We haven't really seen a high scoring match yet - but I think the next one could be it. My tip: Portugal 3 - 2 Cote D'Ivoire

 

[daan]

I've got 4 - 1 to Portugal for the next game. We've got a thing at work where we've predicted the result and score of every match. I've not been right so far...

 

[Dan_]

Drogba won't start playing, Gervinho will take his place. Good news to the portuguese team and their patrícios.

 

[arvore]

Here we go...

PORTUGAL


See you in 2 hours guys

 

[Blitz187]

^^^ Good Luck Arvore

 

[Omnis]

I think the IC might win this one. These guys are huge and have great attack on these little Portuguese defenders. Ronaldo is like a 1 man team over there on the right side. He really knows how to make guys miss and then draw the fouls. A yellow card already! And he just got grazed.

Things could change very much once the players start to fatigue though.

edit: WOW! What a strike off the woodwork by Ronaldo there. I guess Portugal doesn't need to advance that far if Ronaldo is such a threat from that kind of distance.

 

[Touring Mars]

Ronaldo is like a 1 man team

That could just be enough - he just hit the post from 30 yards

 

[Horde_R35]

That could just be enough - he just hit the post from 30 yards

DAMN IT!!!!! I just screamed GOAL !

 

[Dan_]

The Portuguese team is quite nice as a whole too, they can perform very well without Ronaldo, but when CR7 is in the field...Portugal turns into a real threat.

Zokora won't end the match if he keep chasing Ronaldo.

 

[Omnis]

I just noticed that the IC jerseys are irregular. Unless it's sweat I'm seeing, they have dark splotches in different spots.

... probably sweat though.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Who thought Robbie Savage would be a good Radio commentator?

 

[Omnis]

Hahaha. Ronaldo just dropped a huge F bomb on #20 and got carded for it.

 

[Dan_]

The IC team is really nice. The best african team till now.

 

[Horde_R35]

Hahaha. Ronaldo just dropped a huge F bomb on #20 and got carded for it.

Yeah were getting robed already! Suffers a fault, the other guy hits him with his chest and the 2 of them get the yellow card... Ronaldo didnt stay quite! Of corse!

 

[Omnis]

The IC team is really nice. The best african team till now.

Are they they biggest team in the tournament? Their guys look massive... especially the defenders. I know Yaya is 6'3.
