Btw, Italy looked really good once they went down 2-0. Wonder where that urgency was at before.

If you mean being a student radio broadcaster, they don't give me access to mythical things such as ND success since 2000.

Looks like Lippi made a HUGE mistake not playing Qualiarella in the first two games of this World Cup, kid played with passion and opened things up.

I don't know how serious Karen's being but I'm just in a chops busting mood today haha I'm just messing around for some reason I'm in a good mood for a Thursday morning stuck working in an office.
Back to the topic, the last 15 minutes of that game were the best soccer I've watched so far in the World Cup. If Italy plays like that for the last 30 minutes instead of the last 15 they probably win.

Serious as a heart attack.

No, he actually was offsides on that one. Linesman got it right today.lhslep134;399773 wrote:Knute, in all honestly, I don't really care. It's just fun giving you a hard time since you're such an avid fan of a team that no one else here is rooting for hardcore.
Also, that offsides call was very iffy, similar to the US one yesterday.
Only thing I didn't like was the Slovakians playing dead in stoppage time every time they got touched. It was like they were trying to imitate Italy's normal form.

Im slightly surprised Italy didnt make it out of their group. But it has to be said/questioned....why did they bring in the players they did? This team failed at Euro, and looked even worse in South Africa. That was just terrible.

There are 5 groups w/ the outcomes set. Of those 5, 2 of the winners and 1 second place are from CONCACAF. The other 2 groups do not have a CONCACAF team in it.

LOL wut? CONCACAF only has three teams in it, and Honduras ain't in 2nd place. Plus they have yet to play their 3rd match.

The two teams who played in the '06 final don't even make it out of group play. What a difference 4 years makes huh?

Yeah, CONCACAF only had 3 teams make it right? Honduras is destined to be last, but Mexico and USA are through. USA as the winner and Mehico as second. Im not forgetting anyone am I? Uruguay beat Costa Rica in the playoff....
Now, the South American teams....WOW!
Argenitna -- Won Group
Brazil -- Will Win Group
Chile -- Leading Group by 3 pts, play Spain
Paraguay -- Won Group
Uruguay -- Won Group
THAT IS SOME SERIOUS DOMINATION!

Nobody will ever mistake South America as not being a soccer producing nation. They always give you good results.
Like they say, Europeans invented the game, South Americans perfected it.

haha, you know why I did that? Because the original fucking statement was going to be Brazil, but I decided to change it to fit the entire continent of South America and didn't change "nation"...

Asia has done quite well, considering how shit their teams are "supposed" to be. Japan could go through along with South Korea who is through.
Then you have North Korea, and well....lets just forget that team ever existed. Im not even sure Kim Jong Il will let them back into N. Korea anyway.
