General Chat / World Cup '10

Surely it's realistic but it is for any of the top teams. Just look at the star players of all the top teams:
Brazil: Cesar, Lucio, Kaka, Fabiano...
Spain: Casillas, Puyol, Pique, Ramos, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Torres, Villa...
Argentina: Messi, Higuain, Tevez, Agüero, Milito...
England: Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Cole, (Ferdinand)
Holland: Robben, Sneijder, Van Persie, van der Vaart
Germany: Klose, Podolski, Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Özil, (Ballack)
Portugal: Ronaldo, Simao
Ivory Coast: Drogba, Toure, Eboue
France: Ribery, Evra, Henry, Gourcuff
Italy: (Pirlo)


So as you might see, there are more teams than just Holland who are thought to be able to go to the semis.

Italy has great players too, like Pirlo, Camoranesi, Gattuso, Di Natale and so on...

my tipp for brazil is 3-0 btw

Sure but if I include those I could include maaany more players for the other teams as well. I wouldn't really call them stars. Gattuso didn't even start. Okay wait, they do have De Rossi, but the rest is not highest world class any more like they might have been 4 years ago.

If you add Klose, you've to add all players of all teams.
Özil isnt a worldstar too, same for Podolski.

Okay Italy does have Buffon as well lol...
Yeah you're probably right about Klose.

North Korea is much better as I expected after 30 minutes

Brazil is better, but the defense from N.Korea is good  

I agree. And they have some pretty good striker, that are fast and have some good skills.

I'm surprised how well North Korea is doing. I hope for them to win

So, half time and it's 0 - 0




All I can say that I am dissapointed in Brazil, their soccer style is looking ugly compared to their 'samba' style they have been using in the past. 

On other hand, much respect for North Korea, they are doing really well, I hope they can score 1 time in the 2nd half  

And I was right about this;

I serious can't wait for Brazil vs North Korea. This match is gonna be interesting.

Korea is the underdog fur sure, but who knows how good they are, it's a communist country and maybe they train a lot for this?

I'm not surprised. Brazil is overrated and North Korea is underrated, and I actually thought the koreans were the better team the first half hour. The last 15 minutes Brazil started to pressure a bit more, but this game is still completely open.

Brazil overrated? 

You have to be kidding me ...

5 time world champion? 

Right, you think that is showing in this game? That is all that counts you know.

Not at all, but you can't say Brazil is overrated. 

What a awesome goal, no chance at all for the goalkeeper. 

This game is so boring. I actually don't think I've watched a game worse than this.

The Brazil match was ok. My dad and I think he actually meant the first goal wheras the commentators were suggesting it wasn't intentional.

I believe Brazil should have played slightly better though considering their opponents.

bad luck turbine for new zealand scoring their goal in the last minute

Of course, you know their football-team gets exchanged by and by.

He said he meant to do it in an interview he gave after the game.
