World Cup 2010 - Andy - 06-18-2010
Referee has really fucked up the Germany - Serbia game. Klose with a completely undeserved Red. 7 cards handed out in the first half. 1 - Nil Serbia in the first half.

The WC shows both the reason the rest of the world loves soccer and why Americans tend to hate it. There's some awesome play with the best players in the world. 32 countries get to completely get behind their squad and see some incredible soccer.
On the other hand, there is flopping and over-dramatized fouls that Americans despise. The dramatics associated with the smallest foul is probably the biggest turnoff for American sports fans.

I wonder if that's why Gasol flops on every play. I swear he's the biggest pansy out there.

Giff gets his wish, Torres starts in the midfield.
And...just like that 1-0 to Slovenia. Fuuuck.

Most Europeans play like that.

Stunner of a goal, can't help but feel Howard could have at least made an effort though, it's not as if it curled wickedly.
If Slovenia beat you and we win comfortably tonight, it could pretty much be curtains to your World Cup. Two very big ifs though. Today appears to be a day of shocks.

Yep. I'm already anticipating a time for soothing some sorrows with alcohol.

I'm liking the chances we're getting here. Really would like a goal before the half, but time is ticking.
World Cup 2010 - Destined - 06-18-2010
PUT IT ON NET, FUCKERS! God damn it.

All those fucking chances and NOTHING. Fucking pathetic. Typical American disappointment. Pack up the plane and come home you worthless fucks.

Maybe this ain't over.

Donovan did a great job of kicking it solidly at the keeper's face. The guy had no chance.
