I can't believe New Zealand actually tied Italy. Many consider NZ the worst team in the tournament

the italian goal came from yet another de rossi dive. i shouldnt be surprised, italy are the worst bunch of cheats at the world cup every time. pathetic that they had to cheat to tie lowly new zealand. props to NZ, i respect them. but man ive despised italy for years and years. i hate serie a as well.

I have an Italia soccer t-shirt. Just some old shirt my mom got me a few years ago from a trip she took. I never wear it really. Today I did just 'cause, wasn't even thinking really. My teams are Spain and Argentina (and I guess USA as well). What a day to wear an Italia shirt around town.

I can believe there was another game without a winner. :doh:

Buster, just wait until the knockout round. You'll get winners in every match. Maybe even a shootout or 2.

It was only a matter of time before the French squad completely self-destructed and embarrassed themselves...

I was surprised by Cote d'Ivorie, as they had Brazil playing very flat and had multiple early opportunities to capitalize, but anytime the Brazilians had the ball, CIV pushed everyone back, leaving only Drogba up front. Huge mistake, and it cost them dearly.

Portugal just completely crushed North Korea this morning. Like a damn spigot, the Portuguese went complete apeshit.

Currently have the Chile-Switzerland match on, and the red card the ref handed the Suiss in the 1st half was a horrible call, but the Suiss defense has held it's own with 10 men.

Ooh, I can't wait.

I have to admit I've watched more soccer than I ever have in the last week and I've actually gotten into it a bit. But those damn horns have gotta go. So f'ing annoying.

I actually don't mind the Vuvuzelas at all. I think it's nice that it feels like you're actually watching a match in South Africa.
