Just wondering if anyone else has been watching the world cup.
This one thing on my bucket list to do go and see in my life.

Nup, I lost interest in it when they started rolling around on the ground crying, when someone got to close to them. ::) It used to be a good game. ;)

Oh yes. While I appreciate the awesome skills shown at times, the constant histrionics is like watching WWF. Fair dinkum, some of them look like they've been shot with an elephant gun only to amazingly rise and play on after penalty awarded.

Yeah Germany WC finals did it for me. Italy deserved to beat Australia but not by a fall.
-
Cost to much in flares & fireworks to enjoy the game >:D

Aust competing in the world cup is akin to Managatang seconds playing Geelong at full strength.

Geelong's not that bad!

I'm watching mate. Love it in fact.
Try to watch all games, but happy if I catch a couple each day. The mrs knows that it's my one month every 4 yrs to sleep on the couch and leave me the hell alone when Aus is playing!!
Also on my bucket list...
-
I don't usually watch Soccor (no matter how hard people try to say otherwise, it'll always be Soccor to me), but i did watch the Australian game yesterday morning as it was on when i turned the telly on whilst lying in bed. might catch a few other games on during the event or parts there of, but i certainly won't be getting up early to do it, just watch if it happens to be on at the time i'm looking.
-
just another show I can't wait to miss
-
I love it, but could do without all the antics. Nice to see a couple of the refs are actually ignoring the theatrics this time around.
Soccer does turn me into a bit of a monster when I watch it :-[
I'm generally a good sport, but I really hope Italy loses their next game (I don't hold grudges...much >:D)
Go the Socceroos :cup:

Has already been full of upsets this week. The Aussies were sensational and instead of bagging them and comparing them to a sport that only rates in the south of Australia we should be supporting them. After all it's the real football and the most watched sporting event in the world.

I reckon the Aussies played great, just a bit nervous the first 15 - 20 minutes.
Good to see the young ones getting a shot on the big stage.
Football (soccer) will take over as our number one sport in the future.
Here are some stats from abs

I agree, outstanding performance on a real world stage Australia!!! Go Aussies Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Sorry but the best thing about Soccer is that the highlights only take a minute or two for all the games played.
And yes it is Soccer not football, otherwise the Australian Team would be call the Footballroos, or Footyroos, not the Socceroos!!!!

Couldnt have said it better myself :)

Whilst I do prefer to call the game soccer myself, it is the only true football code where you can only use your feet.
Every other code throws and passes the ball around, and what's with the girly AFL passes? Surely AFL should be re-classified as handball, not football? >:D ;D
Bring on The Netherlands!

What a game!
Shame about the score, but how fantastic were the Socceroos? :cup:
World class all the way!

Do you reckon they could get me some Duty Free on the way home :cheers:

They dont sell VB in duty free ;D

Aussies doing quite well considering calibre of opposition. Both games thus far could easily have gone the other way if key moments went other way. Certainly not being embarrassed like the media claimed
-
I dont really follow soccer & fully expected us to be annihilated in all games in our 'group of death' however they have shown great skill & courage in the 2 games so far and i am really happy for them & proud of them.

I turned on the radio on way to work today, the way they were carrying on I thought aust had won 12-0 with 6 men left on the field... they were sayin Shit like
"Cahill - the best Australian sportsman of all time"... LMAO!
-
Dont you just LOOOOVE the players praying and thanking their imaginary sky fairy every time they come on and off the ground.
How Narcissistic. Perhaps the sky fairy could help those poor Nigerian girls instead of watching the acting, sorry, soccer.
Next world cup why not just send over a combined Blues /Maroons team. Sure they would all get red carded, but hey, take that bitches...
-
I have recorded the Australian games and watched them when I could. It's the only time I will watch soccer. Today's game wasn't too bad at least they scored five times to stop the usual boredom. Give me AFL any day. Couldn't stand the crap the commentators were speaking this morning, Australia deserved to win, SPARE ME.

I don't mind soccer, but I tend not to watch it because of this. Its not too bad in A League, but the rest of the world are real 'girlies'.
Easiest way to fix the problem. If you stage for a penalty then you get a red card. A few teams might finish a game with 3 players, but they will eventually learn.

its over!!! WOOT!

no but I hope we blow another $50+ million in bribes to not win the next up coming world cup offering in a few years due to more corruption...
I'd say with the amount of corruption in "the world game" (or most international sports these days) the winners name was engraved in the cup long before the world cup started.

hahahahahaha
7 - 1 no corruption in the world cup.. no none... LMAO!!!!
blokes at work here are crying - its hilarious !!
