Look, here's Van Persie's grandfather, doing the Van Persie.

Germany-Ghana tomorrow, when my heart will be ripped out. And Sunday doesn't look too exciting.

How about those French?

    After questioning the vertical integrity of the player who scored France's third at the end of the first half, I just now found this that someone posted on one of the Reddit threads:

    It's still mathematically possible for England to qualify if we nuke Uruguay and Italy.

    Off to need to win against honduras we go.

    Fuck, I REALLY hope Hitzfeld manages to get the morale of the group back up again.

    I can say I'm happy for Costa Rica though.

    So, this day wasn't totally a bust.

  • ChenChen Registered User regular
    This whole back and forth confederation praising/bashing on the Internet has been downright embarrassing.

    Congratulations to Costa Rica though for advancing. Always like to see the underdog win.

    You don't wanna know how long that took me.

    Bit rusty (haven't used my mac for 5 days because the screens were making me dizzy)

    Totally worth it.

    This game is bad, but at least it's exciting bad, not mind-numbingly boring like a Greece game.

    It's like college football, which is unfortunate.

    I do think that there's a certain amount of camaraderie in CONCACAF solely because...wasn't there talk about reducing the number of teams we'd send to 2.5? So I think there's a certain degree of "see, we don't suck as much as you think."

    Well, they're about to assault the referee at halftime, if that means anything.

    1-1. Honduras made it 2 but it was called for an obvious offside.

    By their standards things are going well, then.

    Can it be offside if he wasn't passing and it was a shot on goal and went off the post? I thought it had to be a pass.

    I definitely didn't see a handball.

    I think the ref called a handball on the goalscorer when he put it in

    Edit: Also, this game has been surprisingly entertaining

    The guy who headed the ball onto the bar was off side.

    Yeah, it's less college football based and more related to bid realignment, or at least I think it started that way among the hardcore.

    As the tourney has gone on, it seems like more people are just doing it for fun, but whatever.

    Seems Honduras is taking out their frustration on that poor ball rather than Ecuador's legs.

    If this game was a boxing match, it would be one from Rocky where both fighters are just throwing haymakers at each other and no one bothers to defend.

    Honduras isn't likely to get a better chance than that cross.
