I don't understand the CIV players. You have someone like Drogba in attack. Get the ball down the flanks and put crosses in. Why is that so hard? Why? Why? Why?

Brazil are in third gear in the other game. I swear if they raise their game they can score several.

This really is possible for CIV. Brazil have beaten Portugal 6-0 before. I reckon CIV will need Brazil to score 4 unreplied goals.

Well with Mikel in the team, would kaita have started against Greece? I dunno though, it's easy to say he would have made the difference now that we have the benefit of hindsight. Personally though, I think poor finishing cost us. We had enough chances to draw with Greece and beat South Korea.

Beaf:
Enh?! That agbaya! All he knows to do is cheat!
If it isn't illegal fuel or influencing the FIA, its ramming rivals off the road.

Well, the World Cup is over and the Valencia show is on!

Gossip; Ferrari and Mercedes are deploying a Red Bull style low slung exhaust system for the race. Most teams believe it is worth between 1/2 a second to a full second. McLaren are waiting until Silverstone.

Schumey is the greatest F1 driver of all time. It will take an exceptional driver to break the numerous records that he has set. You can't dominate an international sport for that long by "cheating". The man's a legend.

By the way McLaren have confirmed that they will not have the updated aerodynamic Red Bull-style exhaust outlets for the next race. Red Bull have lost their chance though. Their period of dominance is over.

Lowe confirmed McLaren will not be introducing the system on the cars of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button until the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in two weeks time.

mukina2:
hmm when more than one ball ever dey in play . .SHARON!!!
am beginning to suspect you

LMAO!

lizzybabe1:
Plus they robbed New Zealand of their win. They cheated to get the penalty. Karma is always a biatch.

They did no such thing. It was a clear penalty. Players have been warned not to hold on to other players in the box. Plus it was the referee that awarded the penalty.

dayokanu:
Italian football is at its lowest. Inter Milan won the CL and no single Italian player featured

So true. An Italian team won the treble with no Italian players. The more European countries that drop out, the more likely it is for Germany to win this World cup.

Uche. Comon. Need two more goals please.

LMAO Kanu starts. We are fecked!

Nigeria line up
Vincent Enyeama; Chidi Odiah, Danny Shittu, Joseph Yobo, Rabiu Afolabi, Kalu Uche, Dickson Etuhu, Yusuf Ayila, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Chinedu Obasi, Nwankwo Kanu.

8 pages already and the game hasn't even started yet.

Krayola:
aaawww. Sorry. Ma binu. Next time we'll try to finish u off befor the last minute so it isn't as hard to deal with. Inhumane, at best. Iniesta wicked sha.  

It's cool. The double has erased that episode.

Quote from BBC Sport's Paul Fletcher on twitter_ _ _

Polokwane fans fest - totally alive, thousands of locals having a great time, singing, dancing. And then France go and score!

Sad and funny at the same time. I feel for South Africa fans though. To have that kind of happiness crushed is devastating. Been there with Chelsea V barcelona.

France are going out and are taking South Africa with them.

How many goals do France now need? 4? And seeing the replay again, it should never have been a red card. Shocking decision.

2-0. Bye bye France. That's what you get for keeping a clown as your coach.

odiaero:
what just happened? the cause of the red card

Gourcuff went to head the ball leading with his arm with a SA defender. THe SA defender got the ball and also got Gourcuff's elbow in the face. He then passed out on the pitch and required treatment. Really it's a tough one. The ref was very close to it and gave a straight red quickly.
If I were referee, and due to the nature of this game, I probably would have given a yellow with a stern warning instead of a red.

princekevo:
FIFA at it again to protect their investment. I knew they will do everything to push SA to the next round including showing a red card for a head to head contest.

Tell that to the S.A player who was passed out on the pitch.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=458535.msg6262339#msg6262339 date=1277216781]Hugo Lloris is useless. . . . . .

Diaby is a donkey

Cisse sees RED. . . . .There's a conspiracy against France.
How can an overhead kick be a red card?[/quote]The red is to Gourcuff ofr an elbow to the face.

Holy crapolicious batman. Red Card!

dayokanu:
Jalether and Mariory dont be ridiculous.

How can you bring Villa a 25yr old into comparison with players in their mid 30's that means they are like 10yrs older than him

Those those players you listed except Etoo all were finished by 2005 and preparing for retirement when Villa was just starting at 2006

I'm not comparing Villa to anyone. I just thought his list wasn't accurate in my opinion. And D. Villa is 28 not 25.

Why have you posted this twice?

[quote author=mama-gee link=topic=466232.msg6258951#msg6258951 date=1277166946][color=deeppink]^^Who the heck is Villa?

Could you state his full name and his team? [/color][/quote]David Villa. Spanish, formely of Valencia but, now with Barcelona.

jalether:
Don't be ridiculous. D.villa is not even amongst the top 5 best stikers of this decade

Raul Gonzalez
Shevchenko
Henry
Eto'o
Ruud Van Nistelroy

Villa doesn't measure up to any of the listed strikers in their prime.

Err remove Ruud Van Nistelroy and replace with Alessandro Del Piero then your list would be cool.

HNIC:
The same Fabregas almost got on the scoresheet within seconds of coming on and I can't remember Xavi having any shot on goal.You decide that the midfield is not flowing after just a few minutesTalk of myopic analysis!

It's actually been over 10 mins since he came on. And if you can calm down that I dared to talked about Mr Arsenal (Fabregas), breathe normally, read my post again, then you will see I said "no longer flowing as it was when Xavi was on". So relax, it's still flowing via Fabregas just not as smoothly any more.

Is it any surprise that the Spanish midfield is no longer flowing as it was when Xavi was on? And people wonder why Fabregas cannot get in the starting 11.

One of the commentators just said Honduras are lucky to have nill. I agree. They have been totally hosed this half.

Goal. It's that man again D. Villa

It is our duty to find and eliminate terrorists wherever they are," Gen. Ilker Basbug, head of the military, said in response to a question about the possibility of a major incursion. He said the military has been using drones, bought from Israel, over northern Iraq to monitor rebel positions over the past 10 days.

Sometimes you just have to laugh.

buzugee:
nope  i am angry. i will be gay when i calm down. i take it you mean 'happy' when you say gay ?

I think he meant queer.

buzugee:
i am sick of you africans and your colo-mentality. i have just read through this thread and none of you is ripping this refree a new one especially since he saw the hand ball and let it go. do you see how he walked up to the scorer, and winked at him and told him it was handball but he still let it go ? am i the only one who saw it ? if dat na black man now all you fugazy africans will be asking for his scalp. but nooooooooooooooo white is right  

Quit with this race crap. Must eveything be about race. If you are that insecure to be black, change your skin colour. The ref was shit. Go back a few pages and read the comments made about him.

CIV have shot themselves in the foot. Now Brazil will play Portugal without Kaka and will have an even bigger incentive to just let Portugal win. Stupid. Really Stupid.
