Positions and points for round 1 are now showing on the SYG league page. Looks like Pokkeherrie sealed a great week for the Dutch.

Korea got lucky though...that goalie fucked up....he messed up a save from a far ass shot.

It'll be a shame if/when Australia go out. Have to be one of the most hardworking and well organised teams there. And Cahill's goal a potential candidate for goal of the tournament?

luck is a part of every athletic competition. I loved Kore's crisp passing and excellent touches. I wish the USA had that kind of flow.

We should've won that one.

Australia had more opportunities, but the Dutch took theirs.

What can I say? Timmy Cahill is a star but Robin Van Persie is a legend...

hi hipster!

this thread is full of nerds though


okay! today i thought it was pretty poor.


it's funny my ghost team managed 70pts completely unmanaged. i think i had fellaini in it, but he was removed off the pitch. maybe something auto-filled. hilarious!

Mancini's made a career out of it

For sure.

Told you don't sleep on that match! Australia really surprised me this morning too, I mean the Dutch took over like we knew they would, but for the first half those Aussies were made of tough stuff yo!

two losses for the Oz contingent. what a shame. they played very spirited matches

spain OVERWHELMED in the midfield!!!

MARACANAZO!

What was that I was saying about Spain and the inevitability of their forthcoming down fall?? Shit. IF Chile wins today, Spain may NOT EVEN FUCKING ADVANCE out of group ;)

You seem to think this is something new.

Italy have done it, France have done it, England did it, Agrentina did it. They all crumbled after winning a world cup. It's just the way it goes. Not always, but it happens.

And it's not may, it's won't.

Anyway, Iniesta looked like the only Spanish player who gave a fuck throughout the game.

And there's Linekar saying exactly the same.

No, in fact, if you go back a few pages, you'll find I predicted it and its on record on this very thread, both in 2012 AND 2013 and interestingly some avid futbol fans here disagreed with me and even insinuated I was being cocky ;)

Your'e a guesser. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I didn't guess shit, why you always got to be such a condescending prick. Don't be mad because other people may also know about futbol too, how about being nice and having a conversation with people rather than always talking down to them? It sure must be lonely in that self-aggrandizing pillar you live on like a Stylite ;)

meh, i know there's a lot i don't know, and i'll be the first to admit everything i don't know, but the problem with you is that you think that a line of 4 defenders is "parking the bus" and you're convinced you're right and if someone tells you that's not it you start making accusations.

where others love a chance to learn something new from each other and reduce their ignorance, you're the one mulehead that hates being told he's wrong about anything. that's the problem. i'm just more impatient and more vocal about it.

Didn't see that coming, tha Spain match of course...

I should just kill myself now and get it over with, how could I ever live in !@#$%!'s shadow?
