FIFA World Cup 2010

[//\/\/]

world cup suddenly coming alive -the french meltdown is pretty funny - a big slice of karma pie, maybe?

i was stuck in a traffic jam for the nz match - hilariously over-excitable co-commentary by robbie savage with the best quote of the competition so far, just at the final whistle: "incredible! brilliant! there's even topless women! fantastic! oh! me voice has gone!"

great stuff for the all-whites!

Robbie Savage has been quite refreshing this world cup so far. Was listening to 5 live rather than ITV's shite commentary team for the game and you could see that Savage is a genuine fan of the game and genuinely happy to see the All Whites get the draw. He also had an uncontrollable fit of the giggles when the commentator mentioned Oh Bum Suck during the Korea Argentina match last week,

Weird match between Ivory Coast and the Brazilian volleyball team. Not a whole lot of chances but 4 goals.

The best thing about NZ is they play like men. Unlike Brazil and Italy.

Also, if you are gonna stop play, stop the fucking clock. It's pointless to keep it running and use stoppage time. Stop the fucking clock.

Totally agreed!! I never got this either :S

Funniest thing so far in the WC - the fact that some of the NZ players had to ask off from work to play in the tournament (and still tied the defending champions), or the faces of the North Koreans after getting absolutely destroyed yesterday??? You make the call...

again, refer to fifa keeping the game as simple as possible as widely as possible. the ref has a stopwatch and is keeping an eye across the time, besides the 4th official who is also supposed to be totting up time. he, in turn, gets the ref to add time on after the 45.

Flopping needs to be stopped. Not sure how they can moderate it but it ruins the game.
