It must have seemed like a good idea at the time, LOL!

Unfortunately, I have to go to work. Fingers crossed for a good result Joe!

FFS.. when is it ever a good idea to pass the ball to a dude lying down on the field? When?

I was surprised he didn't even attempt to jump to stop it. Not as bad as our goalie yesterday though with his swing and miss kick, which was hilarious LOL!

Never cared much for Brazil but I just noticed from this game how many of the players were super cute. Heheh...no wonder N. Korea's team was all over them...literally.

Yeah that missed kick was a shocker! But strangely hilarious LOL!!! We'll see what happens with Moss' ban. Lochead isn't bad, I'm more worried about our older midfielders.
Sounds like Brazil were a disappointment - maybe soccer fans have just been spoilt a bit with their finesse over the years lol.

That was an awesome result for our guys to come away with a point. Can't wait until Moss' ban is over. That Paston is a real weakness at the back. I wouldn't be playing Lochead either. I think Moss becomes available again for the Paraguay game.

Oh, I do agree about the Spanish, tho. Hate Honduras - we have unsettled football scores with the bastards... Swiss arent my favourites either, so it will be Spain and Chile in that group for me.

You forgot to mention that I like gulags, purges, baby-eating and long walks on the beach.

Sorry, but Brazil wasnt itself tonight. If the mighty Brazil, the worst fear of every other team in the world, 5-times champions of the world, only team that never missed a world cup, had to wait for so long to score against such an outsider, and then even to recieve a goal from them... Sorry, I call it a disapointment. Brazilians are primadonas, which they always were, but there was a time when they were primadonas for a reason. Not anymore.

I was really afraid that the Koreans will go for a bunker, just defensive play with no attacks, but that wasnt so. They can really be proud of themselves.

Oh, you just like Stalinist Dictatorships and Kim Jong-il.

If you can't buy a jersey, how about you just get a pair of his funky glasses?

Like I said from the start...I am hoping for good things for Spain this time around. They were looking strong. I agree in that it isn't Brazil's year.

Well, I dont have a North Korean shirt to bet, but after tonight, I just might start looking for one.

I vote this the best game so far. The Brazilians, although they won, were IMO a BIG disapointment. Looking at statistics and predictions, they should have dominated the game, but really, they were lucky it ended with 2-1. The Koreans were great, played with all their hearts, and played like real sportsmen. Practicly no fouls, and when they did commit one, apologosied right away, no arguing with the referee... I really, really wish them all the best, and I will root for them in both games (or hopefully more) that they have in front of them.

You mean Urugvay? But yeah, I will root for SA.

Tonight will be interesting too. Apparently, the North Korean team is a total enigma. Two players play in Japan, one in Russia, but all the rest play in North Korea, and there just doesnt seem to be any information about the quality of the team. I will be rooting for them, and I hope they can upset Brazil, which has seen better days.

Well, if there needs to be a winner, there are tie-brakers. Not in leagues, or group stages of tournaments, when teams play for points (3 for a victory, 1 for draw, 0 for losing), but in knock-out games, there additional time of two times 15 minutes, if there is no victor after that, theres penalty shootouts. Its not like two teams can win the same trophy.   [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Tuesday, June 15, 2010 7:47:13 AM)

Football has "overtime". It is a "sudden death" format which means the first team to score wins (College rules are a bit different). Baseball goes until there is a winner. No time limits.  I have seen games that were suspended until the next day but that does not seem to happen anymore. They just keep playing until there is a victor. How can one call something a "win" when there is no score??? Sort of like passing kids through school regardless of their grades, huh??....HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, Strat.. so far everyone seems to be drawing.. I want a real ass-kicking game! Let's see what happens tonight with Korea and Brazil.. 
Tomorrow SA is up against Paraguay so please, please root for us!

Mhm, should be interesting in this group. All teams with the same number of points, and the same number of goals. Whatever happens, I hope Italy get eliminated. New Zealand and Slovakia are my favourites.

OMG I am so excited, but need to go back to bed LOL! NZ just drew 1-1 against Slovakia - our second appearance at a world cup, and our first ever point! Scored in extra time! YAY!!!! I do think Slovakia played better overall (we had periods of good play), the ref liked to give away free kicks, but anyway, YAY!
[Deep Freeze] Tuesday, June 15, 2010 6:22:44 AM 
Well, I really cannot make an intelligent comment as I do not understand the game at all. Kind of looks like hockey and I struggle with THAT as well.  All seems incredibly long and drawn out...and this is coming from a BASEBALL fan! Just makes NO sense to play a game where there is the chance that it will "end" in a TIE! All seems so pointless.

As for all the sexual innuendo...well, that is not for me to decide. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, you can change the rules in sport. 

Then again, it means some really interesting situations. Not that long ago the Japanese team lost 2 -1, even tho they scored all three goals.

Well, I was rooting for Paraguay. I was delighted when they scored, and not so much when the Macaroners equalised. Good game overall. Is it just me, or is this world cup really a bit of a drag? Save for this game and yesterdays game between Australia and Germany, we are yet to see a really exciting match. Maybe tomorrow with North Korea and Brazil? I will be rooting for the Koreans in any case.

As far as your team is concerned, Id say that todays result is good, since neither of your future opponents got three points. But then again, its really to early to say anything for sure.

Ah, would that I could post a photo, Joe. Believe it or not, they don't bring in the official ball here to Nowhere. Probably because it is made in Pakistan and not China. Thus, no Walmart. Had to order it online. Should be here in a week or so.
