mister slippery Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/06/england-world-cup-2010-refereeSounds about right, getting quite used to crap refereeing at all levels. If you haven't read it, and hate what seems to be obvious refereeing cheating over the last 8-10 years, check out Declan Hill's brilliant "The Fix". You'll never watch the game the same way again.

Thorgnor Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) I have been infuriated with officiating for..ever...Last nights basketball game was a fuckin'joke. "Oh, I missed that call. I'll just walk on over to the monitor and make another bad call. Nah, I'll just try and call it equal instead of right. If I miss a call at one end I'll just miss the call on the other end and viola, 1+1=0." Assholes!Brazil vs. Turkey, Brazil vs. Germany, the list continues... Edited June 9, 2010 by Guest Brazil shouldn't have even made it into the finals last time. Assholes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister slippery Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Who's gonna sit on the Chelsea bench next year?bbc.co.uk reporting that Ballack and Cole have been released as free transfers, and Belletti will be gone when contract expires at end of June. Plus, Deco heading back to Brazil after the world cup.Don't particularly need any of the 4, but man, I'm gonna miss the one Joe Cole.2 more sleeps, 3 till England.

mister slippery Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 The Toronto Star has a good World Cup preview section today, with some description of each club.Denmark particularly amused me with their "Player to watch" listed thusly:"Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner plays like someone on muscle relaxants. He's just as likely to crash into a goalpost and knock himself unconscious as he is to score a hat trick. Denmark would prefer more of the latter. The rest of us? The former, if it's not too much bother."1 more sleep, 2 till England. :content: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Let's all start praying Argentina doesn't win the Cup. I don't want to see that but I am rooting for Argentina. I have some Argentinian friends so I am supporting them for sure, not to mention I want to see Messi dominate in this tourney and establish himself as the best in the world.On a side note, I was out kicking the ball around with some friends last week. My buddy shows up with a blonde wig on so I dubbed him Maramadonna. haha.I'd like to see England do well too, you know, support the ancestory and what not, I don't think they have much of a chance though.

mister slippery Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Dear Nicholas Anelka,for the month, you're dead to me. This is not any sort of spoiler, just a big middle finger to the French team, to show my displeasure. Of course, after the Cup, I'll be glad to make amends.Go F**k Youself,Dave O'Slippery :content: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Those Vuvuzelas are irritating to listen to. Yes, I know I can mute the TV but I like to hear the commentators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 They sure are Brad. That's not going to help the casual soccer fan in North America gain any more interest. Lynn came downstairs as I was watching and immediately said "What is that horrible sound? It's either feedback or a bunch of bees." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 We came up with "bees" over here as well. They drown out all the other cool instruments being played.I've managed to watch most of all the games so far. Forgot just how much I love this tournament! Stoked for the big one this aft!
