2010 FIFA World Cup

[Virgo]

There was a thread? Sorry, did not really follow WC until now. Me not a big fan of football, only occasionally check about its news.

Is it because both channels want monopoly of the event? What a shame... :thumbsd:

Can't agree more! To me, sports like soccer should be free for all. This is the ONLY way to spring interest to the general public. Without that, any major sports event will only be limited to those who are willing to pay to watch.

I was a soccer fan until they took the matches out from the old Ch12.

they actually performed very slightly better than the WC 8 yrs ago, when they exited without even a single goal... and Zidane was in the team then.

Yah, at least 2010 they scored a goal. 2002 they scored 0 goals. 2006, Zidane made headlines wit his headbutt. Looks like France will always be e talking point during WC. :bsmilie:

Tonight match :
Denmark vs. Japan ? - ?
Cameroon vs. Holland ? - ?

Holland has already qualified to the next stage, so I think they will rest their key players. My prediction is 1-0 for Holland.

Denmark vs Japan match is interesting to watch, as their fate is on their own hand. Although they are sharing same points, Japan has a slight benefit from their goal difference. Even a draw will send Denmark to home. My prediction is 2-1 for Japan.


Ganbatte! Nippon!

Somebody posted this on Facebook:

"The French surrendered early, USA arrived at last minute & Brits are left to fight Germans - WWII"
