World Cup Soccer

[zigmish]

By the way , how big is the worldcup in USA? i always thought the americans were haters towards football(soccer) .
Over here in sweden(and the rest of europe) it get serious as hell. This is the topic of the summer . Everybody talks about it . Before each game there's a show(one hour long) with predictions and analyzes and reports about everything that goes on. The country is in shock today after the draw yesterday against Trinidad & tomatoes .

The world cup is big here amongst a smaller percent compared to basketball, football(american) and baseball. but american-born latinos like myself are all over the shit, it's in the blood i guess haha.

 

[TAKIN NO SHORTZ]

This is fucking sick. One of my worst days ever . Im feeling like i could kill someone. A draw against the worst team in the world cup t&t.
I cant believe this crap . Sweden better come correct against paraguay .

i dont wanna take away t&t's heroic achievement but 20 shots on goal for sweden and 0 goals. everyone except wilhelmsson and källström when he came in were worthless. And the whole world is laughing at us.

Sweden played well just not luck with scoring
opposite to England, they played poor the 2nd half and Valdez was close to make it draw

yeh i hear you . football is like religion for some countries lol . especially in europe and south/central america .


If sweden wins against paraguay , im gonna be in germany for the last game against england. Thats gonna be tight as hell ..

yeh , i mean they created chances and all but they cant afford to miss every damn shot on goal , even though t&t's keeper did a great job. He stopped us but Henrik larsson was crap , so were our midfield as well yesterday. this was suppose to be the easy game in the group . But , the fact that england beat paraguay open up doors for sweden anyway. Just need to win against paraguay and we're through. if England and paraguay beat t&t that is, but i take it for granted.

 

[Ant-1]

Why didn't Kallstrom play all the game ? That's one of the best Swedish player...

 

[meisterpimp]

argentina vs ivory coast was dope as hell. both teams on a pretty good level already. ivory coast showed some real fighting spirit.

larsson, ljunberg,ibrahimovic will get their teamplayin better in coming matches
i believe, they didn´t play much together in trainingmatches before WC, right ?

best match so far, Riquelme´s passes were on target,and Ivory Coast had good tempo in start of the match& in the end when they were scored the equalizer.

This right here is what the whole country is wondering also . They play a.Svensson from a crap team in the swedish league on källströms position. They had a poll before the game yesterday when Lagerbäck(our coach) presented the
11 players who would start. The poll went : Who should play offensive midfielder ? Källström or Svensson . 93% voted källström . As soon as he came in sweden started playing good . Too bad it was to late. Im pretty sure he will start against paraguay. He's like our forth best player after ibrahimovic, larsson and ljungberg.

Yeh they better . Ljungberg and ibrahimovic doesnt like eachother. Diva mentality . Zlatan feels like he is the big star and ljungberg does the same. Larsson is way ahead of them both when it comes to maturity. He treats everybody the same way.

They only played one game together before the world cup , against chile 1-1 .

I agree with argentina-ivory coast being the best game so far. in 30 minutes it should be another good game i hope. Netherlands- Serbia.

 

[meisterpimp]

Netherlands- Serbia wasn't nothin special, except for robben who was brilliant. i'm looking forward too see portugal this evening, they're one of my favorites for the title.

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

3-1. Viva Mexico Cabrones!

 

[ArYo]

man mexico got fuckin lucky today shit

 

[Don Hollywood Godzilla]

lol@lucky, Iran was aggressive I give them props for that but...


Mexico got ya! si...se...puede....SI SE PUEDE!

 

[zigmish]

Im impressed by mexico . They were fun to watch . Why didnt 'zinha' start ? lol
Iran were better than i thought . Im glad the lost though . Because i live in an area with hella persians and turks and when turkey won games in the last worldcup they were riding around all night honking and screaming . And the persian population is twice as big as the turkish. So you can imagine the noise they would make lol .

Now lets see if Portugal can beat their old colony Angola. Alot of hate and history in this one.

 

[SLICC RICC]

^^^THAT ONE WILL BE NICE...

 

[LaKeRzz8]

I'm looking forward to tomorrows USA vs Czech that's gonna be a good match between two strong teams.

where you live irvine? haha

 

[zigmish]

where you live irvine? haha

lol

I live in stockholm , capital of sweden . Looks just like any other big city in europe . multi-cultural population .

 

[zigmish]

Portugal - Angola was a good game for about 15 minutes , then it sucked to be honest. Ronaldo , player of the match . Too bad he got a yellow card in the first half , i think that's why scolari took him off the pitch .
