The [Horribly Unpopular] Soccer Thread

Well done Messi, but overshadowed by tragedy for the Nigerians. 21 dead during the game. Sadly, the Cannibal will probably get more coverage.

Was it soccer related?

Edit: never mind I found it. Horrible...

Wasn't there a different incident in Nigeria during their first match; an explosion at a viewing party or something?

What!!??
What happened? I heard nothing about this.

Shopping mall got bombed during the game.

Yeah. Horrible.

Wow. Tragic for the NIgerians. The World Cup brings together peoples of many many ethnicities, religions, morals, etc., to celebrate the beautiful game instead of point out what divides us. Seeing acts of hate and violence against "The Other" juxtaposed with a coming-together of ideologies is surreal and incredibly sad.

Wow. Muntari and KPB sent home.

The bribery if that team just makes their whole country look bad. I'd rather have a bunch of 5 year olds out there.

Hannibal Suarez has been banned for 4 months and 9 international matches....

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

FIFA act swiftly and justly..............My head does not know how to process this information. :cross:




Oh yes, this means Suarez will not be playing against Southampton on the opening day of the EPL, so I are happy with that too.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

JUSTICE!

... though I think it should have been harsher seeing as this is a pattern. I'd go the maximum penalty of two-year ban from anything soccer related.

Bit harsh I think. For one thing, the bite was at least understandable, as all Italians taste like pepperoni.
Also, That would cost Liverpool about $150,000,000.......Not that I care about Liverpool though.

So Gonzilla and Davis starting for Cameron and Bedoya.

Should have been 12 months. Let him sit a whole domestic season and see if that gets it through his demented head that you can't bite people no matter how much they are annoying you.

This should be interesting to say the least.

I think its a fair punishment.
I bet Liverpool fans are rejoicing. No way anyone is going to pay his release clause now.

Now we just wait and see what LFC has to say about it.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Poor fans can't make it to the match. All the time and money to get there and can't go. I would be gutted.

A bit like this.

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

I'm soooooo pumped.

Time to do some work and beat those Germans like it's World War 1 and 2.

 

[aygov]

We need to up the possession here. If we keep on keeping on then zee germans are going to rock us.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Gonzalez saved USA twice already!

Ha! wrong thread

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Ha! wrong thread

I was wondering what the hell that post was about!!

 

[aygov]

Portugal doing us a favor...

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Portugal winning!! Good news!

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

As it is right now, I'm gonna go 1-1. Germany to score first.

 

[bob1852]

I'm predicting 2-0 Germany.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

LMAO at that snippet: German player's mom was first woman to do a TV commentary in Germany........Player must have been both proud and embarrassed!

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Very well done USA! Especially in defence, but a couple of good attacking breaks too. Doing themselves proud IMO

Just keep it up in the second half please.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Reno not posting. I'm assuming he is in a coma.

Not much you can do about a shot like that.

 

[aygov]

Ghana doing us a favor now! Just no more goals please!

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Ghana doing us a favor now!

Not sure which match to watch now!!!!

Bollocks, I'll stay with the USA match. It's up to them now, forget the other game.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Do the referees have to be fluent in all languages so they can understand the bull**** complaints from every player?

 

[aygov]

Ronaldo scores for Portugal!

 

[bob1852]

Flopping around like you've just been shot by a canon when no one actually touches you is a universal language.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

They only have to speak to the captain if they want. Also, they are not ALL bull**** complaints.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

I do wish American commentators would stop calling this the group of death. It's not. It's just a tricky group. If not for Ronaldo, it wouldn't even be that.

Edit: slomo boobies!!!! YAY!!!
