I was sitting in a sports bar a week or so ago waiting for someone and I saw guys in shorts on the TV chasing a ball around! I think they were wearing yellow, or maybe green. It was entertaining for awhile.

We need a drooling smiley.

What kind of drooling are we talking about?

bumblemusprime · Post by **bumblemusprime** » Sun Jul 04, 2010 9:57 pm

"I don't understand the appeal of watching sports" drooling.

saysadie · Post by **saysadie** » Sun Jul 04, 2010 10:11 pm

I was thinking more along the lines of "rabid bandwagon-jumper" drooling, 'cause I understand the appeal well enough... and I just wanted to be a part of the excitement.

Hmmm. Spain vs Germany... Were it not for Spain, the country of my birth would have gone "undiscovered" for awhile longer. Still miffed that Germany are a bunch of cheating bastards. And, I guess the wars. hmmm. Yeah, Spain.

The Netherlands however, boast an impressive number of people who've bought Transformers stuff from me on Ebay. They pay a lot for shipping and have never complained. Tough choice...

what's the basis for saying the Germans are cheats?

Go on Twitter.

Look up @bobbieEden.

The logistics are hopeless unworkable. Silly tart!

Germany just wants to prove they can win something starting in "World."

Think about it.

Nah, I don't think she's really thought that one through. Even getting her friends involved.

You know they've won the World Cup three times since the last war, right?

The germens have used the WC footy for 6 months... Seems to have paid off!

Come on Spain !!!

VIVA ESPANA!

Auf Wiedersehen Deutschland!

Mostly the "What goal? That wasn't a goal! It didn't go in. Haha, stupid refs" thing during the England/Germany match. Mostly.

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Wed Jul 07, 2010 9:28 pm

That was poor officiating. The Germans not stopping play isn't cheating.

It's not like when you're playing in the park and you go "nah, that wasn't a goal - didn't cross the line, you can't prove it - play on!". There's other people for deciding that... they say it's not a goal, you carry on.

You want players saying "yeah, sorry ref - I didn't catch the ball, pull it back and give them a free kick."

Overcompensating.

SO glad to see someone new win it this year. I'd have to go with Spain if the Spain that played Germany shows up again.

The Last Autobot · Post by **The Last Autobot** » Sun Jul 11, 2010 9:04 pm

They started as the favorites

After their first match everybody thought they were doomed.

But at the end they won.

Spain won the world cup!!!!

Amazing scenes in Spain. The Dutch played pretty dirty so I'm glad Spain won.
Overall, well delivered WC but I think the football was pretty crap.

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Sun Jul 11, 2010 9:48 pm

That match was ******* painful.

Pretty much as expected though. Pre-starred shirts, though. Arrogant twats.

So Spain wins the World Cup and Nadal wins Wimbledon.

Impressive.

Donkeys the world over are ******.

Now that my wife and I are official World Cup Good Luck Charms (we just finished our honeymoon in Spain), we'll have a heart and begin plans for a trip to England in 2014. :P

Seriously though, has Holland always played like a bunch of thugs?

So Spain wins the World Cup and Nadal wins Wimbledon.

Impressive.

I also regret to inform you that the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA title last month thanks in large part to the play of one ugly looking Spainard - Pau Gasol. Todo Espana este verano.

i feel a bit sorry for Howard Webb - i'm sure he would be getting just as much sh*t if he had educed Holland to 9 men in the first 25 minutes.

I don't think there was a good way to handle the game.

Except possibly issuing 22 red cards 1 secodn after the whistle, legging it up the steps, grabbing the WC and hopping on a plane to England cackling.

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Tue Jul 13, 2010 8:09 am

Mmm. Once he decided not to "ruin the match" by sending people off for blatant red card **** just because it was early, he was ******.

The last time they went out of a World Cup was this match:

Compare the players involved in each game. Draw your own conclusions.
