2010 FIFA World Cup

French have returned to practice but everyone seems to be feeling the samething, shame. French journalist Philippe Auclair made a good statement:
"In France, I can tell you one thing, everybody's sick and tired," he said.

"We just want to bring this era to an end and start afresh with Laurent Blanc and forget all about this catastrophe, this absolute disaster of a World Cup, the most shameful episode in the history of our football."

And now to England. Slovenia is going to be a tough team to beat, especialy with the way England has been playing. However, I can't see England losing either. We have to win this don't we? A draw or loss will see us sent back home. I can't imagine England losing like this...

The players themselves have apologised for their utter disgrace of a match against Algeria, and the players are still backing Capello. As long as they can improve their chemistry they'll make it. But what a mess we've made of things so far.

Of a group that was meant to be:

England
Algeria
Slovenia
Yanks

things are certaintly looking a lot more difficult.

I don´t see why you have the yanks at the bottom, especially after their performance in the confed cup. England at the top ok, followed by the Yanks or Slovenia and Algeria last.

The refereeing is becomming a bit of a joke, that Swiss player getting a red card against Chille for accidently hiting a player who was fouling him from behind.

Just a few minutes ago in the Spain v Honduras game, David Villa just smacked/jabbed an opponent in the face, not even a yellow card.

Because the yanks have no business in this sport.

Why not? They tied with England and should have beaten Slovenia but got gypped by the ref.

If anyone, North Korea has no business in this sport: Portugal-7, North Korea-0.

Or nigeria

Just a matter of time before the U.S. takes the World Cup and U.S. players are a dominating force in the leagues. Probably within the next decade, or less.

Saw a picture of some Nigeria Vs Germany game, a channel had listed the scoreboard as 'NIG vs GER'. Could be a haox; looked real.

It wasn't real; Nigeria's abbreviation in the World Cup is NGA.

And they're not even in the same group.

Maybe have Niger play in the next world cup then.

Especially after the "Henry" Fiasco, he needs a few games suspension.

Brazil were by far the better team though, It just suprises me that they don´t attack as much or do as many cool tricks as they used to.

Indeed. Nothing will happen though, at least not until this World Cup is over.

Agreed. Their matches aren't as entertaining as they used to be.

He did raise his arm twice though. Nearly elbowed that dude behind him. That said, Chile's only goal looked off-side, and it was never called.

The guy chose to fall onto the ground long after David Villa had left him. 😂

Hardly the same thing. The ref shouldn't have asked Fabiano that and Fabiano didn't pretend he was injured to get a player sent off.

Whether the referee should or should not have asked him does not change a thing. He had to pretend he never handled the ball (twice) in order to get the goal. 😐

Oh I just noticed it, not really that funny but a nice word concoction

And that's the Niger flag, not Nigeria.

Maybe its from a past game?

It´s surely a Photoshop job or some video game.

Niger has never participated in a World Cup or played Germany🙂

I wonder if their abbreviation would be NIG.

Another Red card which wasn´t in the France v S.Africa game.
With Mexico loosing 1:0 S.Africa only need to win 4:0 to go through and they are 2:0 ahead.
