Ian Darke is awesome! That was a great last 30 seconds of just ripping into the souls of the Portuguese players lol. Earlier when he was letting the referee have it was fantastic commentary as well.

Ronaldo is a douche!

I dont think so. In fact it looked like he pulled up cause he couldnt get anywhere close to it. We will find out soon during these highlights.

Derek Rae is the best, he spends hours practicing the names of the players he doesnt know to nail the pronunciation. He says he cant stand when people pronounce players names wrong just because they have different ways of speech in their countries. THAT is awesome, imo.

From his wiki page. I remember the interview with him where he said he is particular about pronunciation. Here is the source....(well its sources within wiki): "He is so particular about pronouncing a player's name correctly that he has been known to call consulates to confirm the pronunciation."

WTF that dude was holding his head there? He was barely tapped on the shoulder and he acts like he took a toe from Lou Groza to the top of his head.

I was dying laughing, the shoe hit his forearm and he was trying to sell it as a head kick. However the ref didn't buy it but if it was Ronaldo there would have been a penalty kick!

LMAO.......you of all people have NO room to talk when it comes to credibility, fucking hysterical!

Again, you have no clue what you're talking about, this is a typical Italian start to a World Cup (which I said would probably happen before this tournament started, even with the easy draw). If you can't look at past history (which tends to repeat itself) then YOU shouldn't be talking sports at all!

He never talks sports, he just talks shit. He turns every subject he posts on into a shit talking contest.

If I'm talking shit then you're obviously eating it up. Must taste good.
