World Cup 2010 (that's interesting)

Yes they are, Germany can’t get a succesful counterattack going.

Lh_owon · 2010-07-03T07:48:29.000Z

Keep it down Germany! Expert advice from me, thankyew thankyew.

EDIT: (And Argentina)

Just can’t work out who to support here. Firstly Klose deliberately fouls Mascherano, so I was all “you fucking cheats!!” then an Argentina player deliberately handballed, so I was thinking they were the cheats, then Messi handballed and it wasn’t given but Muller handballed to a lesser extent and was yellow carded. It’s all so confusing for my sense of morality, so come on Germany!

JM1 · 2010-07-03T07:51:44.000Z

On a more serious note, Schweinsteiger is the best player on the pitch. He’s really come of age this tournament. Argentina looked better in the middle part of that half but they’re struggling to create clear cut chances, whereas Germany look lethal on the break.

Side note, is there someone streaming in English besides ESPN? I can’t pull that stream up without an account. I’m forced to stream off Univision, which works well, but I’m struggling with understanding the play by play.

Skipper · 2010-07-03T08:05:32.000Z

Just wide.

I wouldn’t mind a Maradona cam - a little Maradona image in the upper right of the screen - like the old Eddie Murphy SNL Closed Captioning skit.

Skipper · 2010-07-03T08:08:58.000Z

Or a Charlize Theron cam, but that’s for a different reason. Not sure if the broadcasts are the same but Univision seems fixated on her sitting in the stands.

JM:

By definition, every footballer on the pitch is a cheat. Round and round we go.

Sepp Blatter also thinks John Terry should be applauded for fucking his mate’s girlfriend. He thinks women footballers should be made to wear tight shorts and tops. He thinks Ireland should be given “moral compensation”. He compared professional footballers and the transfer system to slavery.

Sepp Blatter is a fuckwit.

His opinion on matters like women’s football and John Terry are totally irrelevant to the discussion. As head of the organisation that defines the rules of football there is no higher authority on what is cheating and what isn’t. That includes Roy Keane.

If you won’t accept a general dictionary definition of cheating, or even FIFA’s definition, is there anything you will accept? What is your definition of cheating based on?

Brandon_Clements · 2010-07-03T08:11:33.000Z

Right in the face!

Got it. Many thanks sir.

robsam · 2010-07-03T08:17:52.000Z

You’re welcome. Germany starting to look a little better on the counter.

Skipper · 2010-07-03T08:19:48.000Z

They also have Argentina trying to stretch to attack. If Argentina isn’t careful they are going to give up another goal.

Juan_Rayo · 2010-07-03T08:23:26.000Z

Germany has to be able to counter quick, right now Argentina is all over them and no defense is gonna hold on too long against Messi and crew on full on attack mode.

Come on set piece second goal come on Germany!

robsam · 2010-07-03T08:24:04.000Z

Ozil isn’t able to do much of anything in this game.

Juan_Rayo · 2010-07-03T08:24:28.000Z

YES!!!

robsam · 2010-07-03T08:24:33.000Z

YESSSSSS!!!

Skipper · 2010-07-03T08:24:41.000Z

Gooooooaaaal

Gorath · 2010-07-03T08:24:51.000Z

It’s going up and down. Static advantage for GER (goal), dynamic advantage for ARG.

edit: GOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOLLLLL!!!ONE!!!ELEVEN!!!
