[World Cup] "The Green Error" to live in infamy, vuvuzelas are omgterrible

PantsB

I think i might switch to an outright Paraguay victory. I don't want to be hoping for an equalizer from
these guys

I didn't get to actually *see* Green's missed save until today. Hooooooo, did we get lucky there.

Oh man, Willeth. I'm so lucky I don't owe you a map-pack.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it yet, but FiveThirty Eight (of election prediction fame) has a pretty interesting "Simulated Odds" ranking on the side of their page for the World Cup. He just updated it for the results of the first two games.

How is the crowd making the vuvuzela noise without the horns? My god, they don't need them anymore... they've adapted. We're doomed.

aaaand a full 23 seconds in, the italians are in good form

Aegis

The opposing player did ram his cleats right on the guy's leg.

First Italian writhing on the ground!

I don't feel like this'll be a particularly exciting match, but what the hell, I could be wrong.

Guy on Italy went to kick the ball back, guy on Portugal beat him to it so his leg just followed through and nearly scissor-kicked him.

Mother Nature does not enjoy diving apparently

C'mon Paraguay!

GrimReaper

I guess all this rain will help them with the diving, makes it more like a swimming pool.

CommunistCow

Can we just subtract a point from Italy every time they dive in the box?

It's not possible to count that low.

lionheart_m

See Green. It's easy.

quovadis13

Two chances, two missed kicks.

PantsB

God they are contemptible.

lionheart_m

Italy's gonna score at this rate.

Eventually one of their players'll end up sliding into the goal in yet another diving attempt, and just accidently take the ball with him.

LOL ESPN play by play guy just claimed Italians celebrate winning the world cup by sleeping with their daughters
