WORLD CUP 2010 (TV Schedules and brackets also)

[l00p]

Shweet. Did you do that yourself? Nice either way.

 

[kjgirl]

Game time! I am going with the Dutch today.

What's the over/under on Robben dives?

 

[GemStateJim]

I'd say at least five.

And I'm also predicting a Dutch victory. They were my darkhorse coming into the tournament, and I'd probably be rooting for them today if they hadn't behaved so disgracefully against Brazil.

 

[GemStateJim]

This has all the trappings of a very tactical match; look at all the Orange behind the ball when Uruguay is on the attack.

 

[GemStateJim]

Wow.

 

[GemStateJim]

That right there, folks, was lightning striking.

 

[kjgirl]

That was just sick

 

[hellbunny]

Holy ****.

 

[kjgirl]

Dive

 

[GemStateJim]

Well, that was a foul, but set the Robben Histrionics Tally to 1 for that absurd scream and display.

 

[GemStateJim]

As much as I'd like to see a competitive match, Caceres should be sent off for that. No excuse.

 

[GemStateJim]

Should that be dive No.2 for Senor Robben?

 

[kjgirl]

The baby woke up so yall have to help me keep track of dives. If you over exaggerate a foul, I count that as a dive.

 

[GemStateJim]

YES!

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving player.

 

[kjgirl]

Forlan is good

 

[GemStateJim]

Stekelenburg should've done better, but that was an excellent bending strike from Forlan. The Dutch back line also deserves some blame for allowing Diego so much space. Still, credit Forlan for his superb move and finish.

 

[l00p]

A stumble at the least.

This second half should be wicked fun to watch. The cheating dirty antics of Uruguay laden with dives and the Academy Award dives of the Dutch. I think it will get quite chippy. Is the ref up to it?

 

[GemStateJim]

Everybody has probably heard how Diego Forlan's sister has been paralyzed since the age of 16 and how that motivated the then-12-year-old Uruguayan to become a soccer star, but have y'all read the impact another Diego had on Forlan's life?

The Link

I still think he's a boob, but he seems a good-natured, well-intentioned boob.

 

[FWHORN]

Forlan has got to have helped his bank account these past three weeks. His story has to make you a fan of his or unless you just have a cold dead soul.

 

[kjgirl]

Forlan is pretty dangerous on those free kicks. That was a nice shot

 

[GemStateJim]

I would've ruled that offside. But nice goal, nonetheless.

 

[kjgirl]

Robben shanked that ball but Sneijder with the goal. I think the ref could have called offsides on that because the man in offsides position interfered with the play by blocking the view of the goalie

 

[accuratehorn]

Un poco adelantado, don't you think?

 

[SunBurntOrange]

A coin flip on the offside. Very close. Hsd he touched the ball maybe.

 

[GemStateJim]

Wow. Robben is an incredible player when he's not being an incredible baby.

 

[GemStateJim]

Just a picture-perfect header. And great service from Kuyt. But that header ... christ ... perfect.

 

[kjgirl]

If I were Netherlands at this point - I would mark up Forlan tight and try not to give away any free kicks near the goal. Do that for 15 more minutes and your in the final

 

[accuratehorn]

So that's why the guy has no hair on the front part of his head. This party's over. Turn out the lights.

 

[FWHORN]

Dutch have made their way through this tourny as good as anyone and while they will be underdog Sunday to either Germany or Spain they just seem to get it done every match. Robben may have Italian blood in him but he is a hell of a player.

 

[GemStateJim]

Robben had a Keystone Kops moment there, otherwise, he would've had a brace and Holland would be up, 4-1.
