OFFICIAL WORLD CUP 2010 Discussion Megathread

[Gadgetron]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If France had the work-rate and passion that Germany (for example) plays with, they'd be a powerhouse capable of beating anyone. Instead, half the players hate each other, they all disrespect the coach, the coach picks a **** selection of players, they're all fairly lazy and have no real chemistry, etc. They'll never succeed like that. They need a no-bullsh*t manager like Capello to set them straight.



Fair enough.

According to me friend(who's from france) there is a lot of racial tension in France and as you can see the majority of the French team are black so apparently there are a lot of fans who don't like the team simply because there is not enough white people on it. If you were playing for a team where half the fans didn't want you to play because of you skin colour you'd probably feel a bit disheartened too. Doesn't excuse them to play that sh!t but if that situation in France is true then it probably has some effect on the team. Plus the whole Domenech thing pretty much fuks their team over.

ok so ur point is that france is top 5 worldwide based in pure talent right?

ok I give u Argentina (Messi, Teves, Higuain, Samuel)

Brazil (Robinho, Kaka, Fabiano, Lucio)

Mexico (yes better than France atm) (Giovani, Vela, Salcido, Hernandez)

Italy (Buffon, Zambrota, Cannavaro,)

Holland (Van Persie, Van der Vaart, Sneijder)

Spain (Casillas, Xavi, Alonso, Ramos, Puyol)

even Portugal has better talent than France lmao (Ronaldo, Deco, Carvalho, Ferreira)

and Id put Germany before France any day for this world cup, France simply has a weak team this time around, now quote a Henry that's warming up the bench, an old a tired Anelka, same for Cisse, the only player worthy of mention is Rivery.

Individually France are better than Mexico it must be said, but that really means very little internationally because you've got to play as a team. Also are you trying to say Mexico are in the top 5? They're not a bad team but lets not carried away.

im gonna go out on a limb and assume that as you dont know his name is riBery, you dont know much about anything else youre talking about.

On individuals alone, France have one of the best squads in the tournament. Ribery, Anelka, Govou, Evra, Abidal, Sagna, Diaby, Henry etc. etc.

That said.....bye bye cheating frog scum

I already said Brazil/Spain/Argentina/Netherlands were better. Mexico? You can't be serious. Portugal? again....lol....Germany? A good team that plays well based off their fantastic team chemistry, not from their sheet talent and skill. Chemistry is something you get from having a good manager who knows how to unite the players. If France had this they would be near-unstoppable.

Anyway, arguing this with you is obviously going to go nowhere. But like I said earlier, I'm not talking about the side Domenech picks, I'm talking about the overall French talent pool, which is quite expansive and much better than Mexico/Portugal/etc.

[ronnie09]

anyone got anything on mexico to beat france? i got hernandez 1st goal scorer (hope he starts) into mexico to win 2-1 at $61

[Diego Sanchez]

for ****s sake thats ****ing twice i got close FUCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

fuuuuuuuu. You don't get any pay out at all?

[Ken-O]

Back in the game bitches

I dont care if we finish 1st or 2nd in the group, i just hope they dont screw up against Uruguay and France dont demolish SA.

Greece, South Korea, or Argentina, come at us.

Mexico-Argentina would be one of the best fukin games of the WC thats for sure, it is turning into a classic of world cups

[Crazymix]

bring it on mexico

BWGHAHAHA they will lose again like every year bwhahahah mex that is

[ronnie09]

fuuuuuuuu. You don't get any pay out at all?

nothinnn at all but i only put 10 on both of them anyway lol ill try again tomorrows games

[almirtm87]

Looking at the France roster you would think they would be one of the favorites to win the trophy, but they got one problem, an IDIOT of a manager that has embarrassed France on more than one occasion. Finally he will be sacked after so many years, this was nothing less than pathetic performance by France. They did not even deserve to be in the World Cup, looks like karma is a bitch!

Argentina on the other hand dominated the game, South Koreans looked lost on the field, they rushed things, while Argentina easily scored 4 goals. Once again their defense proved to be pretty bad. It will be interesting to see them play in the knockout phase against better ranked teams.

[Ken-O]

How i think Group A will end:

Mexico 7 points +4
Uruguay 4 points +1
France 4 points +1
South Africa 1 point -6

[Crazymix]

This is the weakest Argentina in a while. If we face them Mexico will beat them and you can quote me on that

1-0 Mexico

Stats: 5'7"
Stats: 5'7"
Stats: 5'7"
LOL

[Joe1991]

Some awesome games on tomorrow.

COME AT US ALGERIA!!!!

Hope the USA lose.



Can't wait.

"Hello Tom,

Here's a reminder of the team that will be doing its best to win you a cash prize in the SureMen Last 8 Sweepstake.

Italy

If your team makes it to the quarter finals, you'll win £5. If they get through to the semi-finals, that becomes £15. One of two finalists will win you £25 and, if you've backed the overall winner, you'll be £50 better off."

not bad brah's hope they start shaping themselves.

[soccerbrah]

Mexico cabrones!

[Chitownbrah]

Mexico **** yeah!

Mexico is going to go for the win against Uruguay.. Itll likely end
1) Mexico
2) Uruguay
3) France
4) S.A.

Argentina is good, but not unbeatable. Defense is lacking, and im still waiting for the mardona implosion. That being said, It makes no sense for Mexico or Uruguay to want to play them over a team like S. Korea. So there will be some good games till the end in this group.

[Joe1991]

I like the way they looked against Paraguay, serious. (putting on flamesuit)

im gonna go out on a limb and assume that as you dont know his name is riBery, you dont know much about anything else youre talking about.

On individuals alone, France have one of the best squads in the tournament. Ribery, Anelka, Govou, Evra, Abidal, Sagna, Diaby, Henry etc. etc.

That said.....bye bye cheating frog scum

You missed Gourcuff.

He is pure quality.

[iamtough]

Woah. Strong performance by mexico, good job!

JOHANNESBURG -- Police say a South African man who wanted to watch a World Cup match instead of a religious program was beaten to death by his family in the northeastern part of the country.

David Makoeya, a 61-year-old man from the small village of Makweya, Limpopo province, fought with his wife and two children for the remote control on Sunday because he wanted to watch Germany play Australia in the World Cup. The others, however, wanted to watch a gospel show.

"He said, 'No, I want to watch soccer,'" police spokesman Mothemane Malefo said Thursday. "That is when the argument came about.

"In that argument, they started assaulting him."

Malefo said Makoeya got up to change the channel by hand after being refused the remote control and was attacked by his 68-year-old wife Francina and two children, 36-year-old son Collin and 23-year-old daughter Lebogang.

Malefo said he was not sure what the family used to kill Makoeya.

"It appears they banged his head against the wall," Malefo said. "They phoned the police only after he was badly injured, but by the time the police arrived the man was already dead."

All three were arrested Sunday night, but Lebogang was released on $200 bail Tuesday, Malefo said. The other two are still being held in custody.

Malefo said the mother and son will reappear in the local Seshego Magistrates Court on July 27.

"He was always a happy man, never violent," Makoeya's nieces, Miriam and Anna, told the Daily Sun newspaper. "On Saturday, we saw him the last time at a funeral."

The World Cup, being played in Africa for the first time, started Friday and runs through July 11.

Strong family.

Games where both teams need a draw to benefit them, ALWAYS end in a draw. It'll be a miracle is the Mexico game isnt a draw.

[Diego Sanchez]

lol, don't hate on Ribery he's a quality player and has class. The guy came from a dirt poor background almost died in a crash.

[Ken-O]

Probably, but i dont think neither Mexico or Uruguay want to face Argentina in the next round, they'd rather face South Korea who is (on paper) an easy pass to the quarter finals.

I dont know about Uruguay, but im sure as hell Mexico will go for the victory next tuesday

[psych]

i like ribery he's a badass

but still without henry and without zidane he's almost left holding the ground by himself (i know im exaggerating but you get my point)

Mexico will win

We beat them last time 3-1, with our weak team

plus Aguirre has beef with forlan, so this is personal

If you ask me what you said is the truth and not an exaggeration. Top that off with an idiot of a coach and feels bad man. As if the guy hasn't been through enough all ready.
