FIFA World Cup 2010 - Group Stage

821

What a through ball by Robinho for that goal!

822

Brazil turning it on here. Great goal.

823

Robinho showed lots of creativity there and Elano showed lots of pace. Elano also showed lots of creativity in putting the ball across the goalkeeper.

North Korea don’t look as disciplined and organised as they initially did.

824

For God sake somebody kick someone!

825

game on now ger

826

This is not over yet. Cmon North Korea. http://www.thefreekick.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

827

Hard to see Brazil win the World Cup with slack defending like that.

828

Maicon meant that imo. Shut your hole Dunphy.

829

Missed that game but a cracking goal from Maicon.

Here’s one he scored previously:

Presume that was very poor from Brazil.

830

Total fluke, a bit like the odd time on here when you make an interesting point

831

Why didn’t he bat it?

832

You’re not very good at the internetting.

833

think that clears up whether he meant it or not. I thought he did anyway the power and the way he hit it.

As I said on the betting forum I don’t think you’re North Korea bet looks in good shape. They were actually very tight defensively and almost looked like getting a draw up until Maicon’s goal out of nothing.

834

Yeah it doesn’t look good. I didn’t see it but the reports suggest they were very solid at the back. Bit of a punt obviously as not many know that much about North Korea but it looks doomed already.

835

Dunphy: “Brazil can’t win it with Gilberto. People will say I tipped Brazil and I did and I think they’ll be contenders.”

Bill: “But you said they can’t win it?”

Dunphy: “I tipped them but I’ve changed my mind now. In the end I actually fancied Spain.”

What a bluffer.

836

Tipping is kind of bullshit anyway. The depth of the reasoning is what actually matters.

837

A superb Apres Match there.

Barry Murphy brilliant as Vincent Browne.

Miles ahead of the gash that is Gift Grub.

838

Yeah it’s fairly pointless, nobody says you’re a shit pundit if you don’t predict the correct winner though. You do come across as a bit of an eejit though if you change your mind and tell nobody until it suits you.

839

You had to edit that :stuck_out_tongue:

First things first. Fuck ye all. Equally.

Second things second. The following men have made the list. Along with Econosave. In order of nonalrightsortedness.
• Viktor Kassai
• Jerome Damon
• Jorge Luis Larrionda Pietrafesa

Kassai seemed to have left his cards in the dressing room for most of the game. Larrionda missed a couple of bad tackles. The most obvious was the one on Eboue in the first half.

Officiating Preview:

  1. I was very surprised to find out that Timmy Mallet is refereeing the game between Hondouras and Chile.
    http://www.arrse.co.uk/uploads/forums/timmy.jpg
    Wait, no, it’s Eddy Maillet. From the footballing hotbed of the Seychelles. He has previously refereed the African Nations Cup and the Confederations Cup.
  2. Some guy called Howard Melton Webb is refereeing Spain and Switzerland. [Shrugs shoulders]. Yes, Melton.
  3. Massimo Busacca of Switzerland is in charge of South Africa and the might of Los CharrĂşas. He refereed in the 2006 Finals and also the 2007 Uefa Cup Final and the 2008 Champions League Final. He has a patchy record of showing cards.

My poor YCPGA graph is wilting.
RCPGA may have died. I have not checked.
