WORLD CUP 2010 (TV Schedules and brackets also)

I'm just teasing, silly. It looked delicious.

Not pictured: the chocolate chip cookie I ate afterwards

Let's go Deutschland!

 

[GemStateJim]

Mmmm. Forlan didn't miss that by much. He was a tad too close for that type of free kick.

 

[kjgirl]

Friedrich almost gets one in with a header that hits the crossbar

 

[GemStateJim]

I don't know about you, but that German keeper is making a real *** of himself.

 

[kjgirl]

Mueller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GemStateJim]

Thomas Mueller strikes again. He's gone from virtual unknown to future star to one of the tournament's heavyweights.

 

[GemStateJim]

Germans on the break are beautifully clinical. Good offside call there, however.

 

[triplehorn]

kickass breakaway goal !

 

[GemStateJim]

Incredible equalizer. Set up by a pinpoint through ball from Suarez to Cavani, who slots it to far post, giving the keeper no chance.

Very exciting match so far.

 

[GemStateJim]

Watching the flow of this match and one easily gets the feeling it could go 3-2 or even 4-3.

Doubtful, I suppose, but it sure doesn't seem like two goals will be enough.

 

[triplehorn]

On the German unis, in certain light, you can see some kind of black holster bra on the jerseys. Kind of adds an S&M look if you ask me.




" Ein! Now I tie you up ! "

I noticed that but I have to admit the bondage ideas did not enter my mind. Not that there is anything wrong with it.

 

[GemStateJim]

LoL ... you noticed that you have to admit? ju are a funny man, l00p.

France had a similar thing on its dark blue kits. I thought maybe it was an homage to the uniforms their 18th century armies wore, with the black 'X' representing the pack straps.

 

[GemStateJim]

Muslera needs some stick'um on his hands.

 

[GemStateJim]

Marvellously entertaining first half. I'm worried about kjgirl, however--she hasn't said a thing since Uruguay equalized.

 

[kjgirl]

I am here, the baby woke up from his nap and I had to feed him. I have a feeling the rain might be a factor in this game - somebody will slip up due to the wetness and a goal will result from that.

 

[GemStateJim]

Suarez totally shanked that. Had Butt not deflected it out for a corner, the shot would've harmlessly hit the side net. Awful effort.

 

[kjgirl]

That was just ridiculous.
Dear Germany - don't let Forlan anywhere near the ball, thanks and uh - go score some more, a lot more

 

[GemStateJim]

Incredible! What a volley from Forlan!

One of the top goals of the tournament.

 

[GemStateJim]

I would love to see Klose come on and score one. I know he's ailing, but my guess is he's fit enough to play as a sub.

 

[kjgirl]

Herr Jansen:
Dankeschoen!

 

[GemStateJim]

Madness! Nice cross from Boateng, but credit for that equalizer should go to Muslera, who's having a nightmare of a match.

Not that I'm complaining--the more goals, the merrier. This is fabulous.

 

[GemStateJim]

Ozil was selfish there. This match is wide open.

 

[GemStateJim]

How was that not a corner?

 

[GemStateJim]

Ozil has been lost in the ozone and Cacau has played like caca. It's time to bring on Klose as the closer.

 

[GemStateJim]

Allllllllllllllllmost, Kiessling.

 

[kjgirl]

 

[GemStateJim]

Univision just ran a CG breakdown of Forlan's goal. What an unbelievable effort!

And as I type this, Sami Khedira puts Die Mannschaft on top with a header to far post after a corner kicks leaves the ball pinging around the 6-meter area.

And there was much rejoicing at the kjgirl household.
