it's just a replica, why'z everybody boiling?

i am a Kogi Candidate . . .

Geovanni is good. So bad they got kicked out

Game Over

Benayoun is coming over?
nice, will love to see those dribbling legs of his

the ''ILLUMINATI'' does not exist . . .

@post

your conspiracy theory doesn't fit

Mexico won't allow what happened in 2006 to repeat itself

they'll either lose before the game ends or lose vis penalties

i don't see them winning.

England were disgraced

End of Story

well done Kanu
we will forever cherish your contributions to making Nigeria known.

and i will never forget the events of Atlanta 1996

i can't even mention the things name without sounding stup!d . . .

Ghana needs to step up their play
remember the USA were finalists in last years Confed Cup and lost to Brazil in just a few minutes before the end of the game. they take these kinda matches seriously.

i knew the South Americans would win.
if it were against the SE, they woulda won by a greater margin

Brazil is pressing and keeping the possession

^^^ yeah
i dunno if i can authoritatively say they had the oldest bunch of players at this world cup
do you know of any team with an older average?

World Cup 2010: Ricki Herbert ‘Proud’ Of New Zealand Record Despite Elimination
The unbeaten run in the World Cup probably won't be repeated, the coach believes.
By Robin Bairner


New Zealand coach Ricki Herbert has declared himself extremely satisfied with the way his All White side handled themselves in South Africa, though they will ultimately be going home after a thrilling World Cup campaign.

Having drawn against Slovakia thanks to a last minute goal from Winston Reid, they then scaled greater heights, picking up a 1-1 draw against world champions Italy. Ultimately progression to the last 16 proved too great a task as they were unable to defeat Paraguay when just a single goal would have carried them through to the knockout stage, though they were given the consolation of finishing above the Azzurri, who crashed out against Slovakia.

“I'm just so proud of these guys - to go out unbeaten at a World Cup. Will that ever happen again? I doubt it,” Herbert told the New Zealand Times.

Prior to this competition, the All Whites had only previously qualified for the tournament once before, and that ended in the squad losing three matches from three in 1982.

World Cup 2010 Comment: Thank You Marcello Lippi For Humiliating The Whole Of Italy, Enjoy Your Rotten Tomatoes
Only one person is to blame for Italy’s World Cup exit, blasts Goal.com’s Carlo Garganese.


There is nothing more frustrating than watching a disaster unfold when there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Since August 2008 when Marcello Lippi returned to the Azzurri bench with an embarrassing 2-2 draw against an atrocious Austria side in Nice, we all knew that the 2010 World Cup was going to be a complete unadulterated calamity unless some serious changes were made.

You all know what the changes should have been, and when it became clear that Lippi had no intention of making them then we had to painfully sit back and die a slow death.

Thankfully, the nightmare has come to a close.

It is for the best that Italy were eliminated this afternoon. Had they progressed to the next round to play the Netherlands they would have been torn apart by three or four goals.

Lippi owes the whole of Italy a grovelling apology, delivered on his hands and knees. He will forever remain a legend – although some may disagree now – for masterminding the 2006 World Cup success but his management before and during South Africa is completely unforgivable. A World Cup only comes around once every four years, and the people of Italy at the very least deserved to watch a team that had a chance of achieving something.


Lippi prevented this with his selfish and stubborn squad selection - omitting Antonio Cassano due to a personal feud, excluding Fabrizio Miccoli because he testified against Luciano Moggi, keeping washed-up veterans in the squad such as Rino Gattuso because of friendship, and the political grievances go on and on.

The ex-Juventus boss wanted to “create history” and repeat the achievements of coach Vittorio Pozzo who won back-to-back World Cups in the 1930s. Well, the 62-year-old certainly created history. He instigated the biggest World Cup finals humiliation in Italy’s history, finishing bottom of the weakest pool the Azzurri have ever been in – with no wins and just two points. He also created more history, as this 2008-2010 team is undoubtedly the worst Italy side for at least 50 years.

While I could sit here and criticize the players – explaining how Cannavaro & Zambrotta are too old, Iaquinta can’t strike a ball without miss-hitting it, De Rossi’s national team is Roma, Montolivo flinches at his own shadow – it is Lippi who must take ALL the blame.

It will be interesting to see if he returns home and faces the public – and more than a few rotten tomatoes - like a man, or shies away with a private jet like a few of the disgraced France players this morning.

The world champions are out, now it is time to forget two years of depression and look forward to a new era under Cesare Prandelli who – if nothing else – will at least pick his players based on performance and not politics.

I woulda supported Spain
but they're way too ''Barcelonish'' for my liking  
and everybody is supporting Brazil . . .it's sickening  

i'm rooting for Portugal  

^^^ EXACTLY!!!

i was even being generous when i said they might be coming out 2nd in the group
they ended up licking the bottom of the pot
World Champions? yuck . . . .even South Africa put up a better show.

What is ''juju'' . . .?
I have never come across that word before?

Yakubu is a troubled soul.
How can a striker fail to score into an open net?
even the penalty he scored was a fluke

Yakubu is dangerous to Nigerian football

I didn't expect much
But at least they won.

Yobo said they'll spill blood on the pitch to win this match just like Pique did last night.
I expect them to do same, or more.

^^^
No probz.

so what'z the scoreline?

i don't care what y'all say
i want them to qualify to the next round
if they don't do it
FINE . . .good riddance.
