2010 FOOTBALL World Cup

I think most sportspeople have been robbed by a wrong call from the referee/umpire/judge whatever, but when this happens at the highest level and so blatantly it would be darn near riotous. England's Frank Lampard robbed in broad daylight in front of a world audience.

:p: and no Russian linesman around this time to help pervert the truth. Let's call it belated justice ... 44 years on. The Poms ought to cope with facts even when the shoe is on the other foot - get over it ;)

As regards the next round(s): don't write the German team off just yet; it may well turn out as another case of History repeating itself after 4 years and the Socceroos being able to claim they were only defeated by the eventual World Champions. Yeah - "I'd like to see that" ;)

That won't happen. Both Australia and England were awful against the Germans. Any of Spain, Brazil and Argentina would score a bagful against the German defence.

Maybe it was more a case of Australia and England being made look awfull..??

With 4 games played so far and a goal difference of 9 for and 2 against , doesn't suggest anyone will score a bagfull against Germany, though that's not to say it's not possible , Argentina will will test them, thats for sure...

It is a bit early to say so, but I wouldn't be surprised if the winner of this game wins the comp... bring it on,, can't wait..:)

England have been awful. I watched their group games. Try England 0 Algeria 0, or England 1 USA 1. Germany deserved to win but even an average England team would have given them trouble. :2twocents

As for Australia, it's common knowledge that they were awful against Germany.

When Germany comes up against a half decent defence and potent attack, they will come undone:2twocents

That remains to be seen, and I guess will prove to be correct sooner or later, but so far in this competition, Germany have shown to be the team with the half decent defence, and potent attack...:2twocents
 
Germany v Argentina gunna be one ripper of a game actually ..... both playing like champions on occasion.

Either side could win it.
 
Says it all.

Hi Folks

I thoughts some of you would be interested to participate in this thread.
Have you seen the match between England and Germany. There was no doubt that Germany outplayed England. But the show was by the referee by not awarding a clear goal point to ENgland.
Not to undermine the high quality game shown by young Germans but the game would have been different with the right judgement by the referee.

Thankfully (sorry for the pun) the game was played between two top European nations. If it was between Cameroon and England or Ghana and Italy then people would have jumped into conclusion with the similar mistake by the referee.

I almost going to bet for ENgland in the begining. But not being a betting person conserved my coin. But now I am paper betting the winner of world cup for 2010 will be Brazil again.

What is your thought ?

Hahaha. I dont think Fabio will be back for England. However that Lampard no-goal was a terrible decision much like the two Red Cards Australia got.... :banghead:

Brazil are looking better now. I still think Argentina will win the cup. Milito, Tevez, Messi and Hand Of God..... mmmmmm Tasty.
 
Arbiters really suck as Fifa does during 2010 World Cup. They see goals where ain't any (mexico - argentina) and don't see goals where they are (germany - england). However Fifa still doesn't want to put some computers & tech to automate all the process.
 
The Nike ad has been the kiss of death in this tournament.

Think about it -
1. Wayne Rooney was terrible and did not score a single goal. Not even sure if he had a shot on target.
2. Ronaldo also had a poor cup with a single miserly goal against the socialist might of North Korea. Unsighted against the Spanish.
3. Ribery; just lol. Part of the mickey mouse 'Les Bleus' outfit that was the biggest farce in WC history.
4. Cesc Fabregas has not even started a game.
5. Carnavarno, 'Il Capitano', was too old or slow to stop a world class striker like Vittek scoring twice.

Don't believe the hype!

That is fantastic!

What about the unfortunate ladies arrested in orange grog skirts prior to this game??? If they had worn brazilian string bikini style tops? Would have they been exempt from FIFA'S rules?
