Leveller June 11, 2010 Share Leveller Member June 11, 2010 I am EXTREMELY disappointed in this community for not even DISCUSSING the World Cup. It started 45 minutes ago!!!!!! Start talking. The last World Cup final had 751.2 MILLION people watching it last time. I'm heading to my nearest pub (The Londoner) tomorrow at 1 to watch the England vs. USA game with several other Brits. Actually the pub was offering free drinks to any Americans who wanted to attend as they expect it's going to end up being exclusively Brits in attendance even though the pub backs onto the FC Dallas site....

mohawk June 11, 2010 Share mohawk Member June 11, 2010 The parade ending ceremony is under my office.. and I'm still in here watching the bafana bafana throw away 3 pts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa June 11, 2010 Author Share Playaa Member June 11, 2010 Wait, you are in South Africa mohawk? That first game was actually REALLY good. Mexico should have won (the first goal disallowed) but they didn't DESERVE to win. What about Cuahatmec Blanco? He looked like some guy who won a competition to let him play with professionals. I'm sure that he has quality and has been very good in the past...but MAN is he well past his prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss is actually British and when we came to our new building, he bought a 50 inch plasma to make sure we could watch any games in the office.

I'm sure that he has quality and has been very good in the past...but MAN is he well past his prime. no, i was referring to the blackhawks parade.. the rule for offsides involves 2 opponents.. with the goalie typically counting as 1 of the 2.. when he went out to make a play for the ball, it left only 1 defender holding the mexican player onside, thus the offsides was the right call.. I'd still take Blanco off the bench in a close match.. we played against him a couple years ago when he was like 35 and he was still a threatening player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy June 11, 2010 Share Jiffy Member June 11, 2010 Go Germany. They made a mistake in not picking up Frings. And I am actually happy Ballack isn't playing. He is such a wuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa June 11, 2010 Author Share Playaa Member June 11, 2010 My brother-in-law is cheering on Germany. He's obsessed with everything Germany. Hopefully this will get him big in to the sport and I'll finally have someone to watch games with! Mohawk, I always forget which team you play for but aren't you in the USL? First Division? I actually go to church with a guy named Tommy Heinemann that plays for the Charleston Battery. Ever played against them? I have no idea if he's a good player or not.

Edit: I guess it's too late to get a player pool started as no one will choose a frenchman.. That's too bad.
