Wow, I can't believe we made it through the entire World Cup before the futbol/football comments came flying out, haha.

(Jul 10 06, 06:35)The entire world cup? I thought you were put out at the group stages with a single point.

yeah but its full name is american football! bunch of self centered fuckwits. It full of advertisement breaks and corporate sponsorship.
how you wish you'd have invented a game as glorious as football

i still beg to differ. i would like to know whatever materazzi said, or if zidane intimidated him first (what materazzi's father seems to believe..).
in some cases you will not be able to control yourself in the heat of the moment. but then a really really offensive thing must have been said against you..

(Jul 10 06, 06:31)come on man...
again, i bring up the context:
-World Cup final
-last game as a prowhat more do you need?
you'll let some words by a clown misplace your focus?

(Jul 10 06, 06:35)hey, i thought it was just as crazy as you did.
But still, you cannot point at someone without knowing what REALLY happened.
What did Materazzi say? What did Zidane do to him?
etc.
for instance, a terrible example i know, but here i go.
imagine his mother would be in the hospital dying from cancer and materazzi would have said he'd shit on her cancerous face??
stupid stupid example... but there are so many more examples that would make you explode..
i would. definitly.
Zidane was well aware of the utter importance of his final WC match, so yes, there HAS to be something very serious to this matter..
i mean, come on..
it could be racial, it could be repetitive intimidation, could be about his family etc. etc..

I think you didn't get my comment.
We made it through the entire World Cup without any of the American Football versus Rest of World Football for the most part.
"Official World Cup" thread.
Good one though, you really got me...

(Jul 10 06, 06:40)Listen, I'm not going to comment on this, as you just created that name today to only post in this thread.
Haha.

nationalism aside,
futbol is a great game and i am glad i finally woke up and realized that as i had little respect for it in my younger days.but i must say, the 'diving' or 'flopping' is a real shame. needs to be cleaned up.

oh for christ's sake. you know i don't usually leap into the fray, and if i do, it tends not to be on the side of the yanks, but you lot are always whining about the americans' total lack of cultural sensitivity and how they don't recognise or accept the differences, blah, blah, blah. fucking shut up and get it through your heads:
you say football, they say soccer
you say lift, they say elevator
you say pants, they say underwear
et fucking ceterait's not a slight, it's a different language. they don't do it to piss you off, they do it because they speak american english. grow up.

(Jul 10 06, 06:43)I never said it didnt surpass to advertisement. But stopping the game every 5 mins to welcome big sam's juicey weiners or what ever is taking the piss! american fans are too stupid to realise they're being buttfucked
- neenaw0
No, I got your comment as intended. Just used it as an excuse to point out that you were utter shite in the wc.
And it's American Football vs Football.
And it isn't even vs.
Nobody in the rest of the world could give a fuck.

Crouwel,
i totally understand what you are saying and to some extent, agree with you, but you think Henry (and other black players) doesn't hear racial slurs constantly on the field? they continue to go about their business for the most part.but overall, i think the context of the game rules out anything said against you, whether it'd be personal or not.

Once again I must state for the record that soccer, is indeed a game for limp wristed pansies.
If you want a real sport, head down under.... ;-)

Well Zidane acted out so unproffesional.... being that he has all these stats and is a top ranked player... Enough said about that... I just wish the WC Finals would of not went to penalities... The last header by Zidane was beautiful.... nice block by Italy....
Go Italia

hey since i am a rookie fan of this sport...can someone explain to me why italia was offsides on the goal that was taken away?
i don't understand, i just saw it again on SportsCenter and it looked like France's defense was in line with the 2 italian players?

eh... i saw it on espn video and i couldn't believe the other guy dropped to the ground like that and writhed in pain.
sorry... but that's being a sissy.

(Jul 10 06, 06:26)Maybe he dropped to the ground like that because he just had a head driven into his sternum?
Zidane broke Jochen Kientz's cheekbone and gave him a concussion with a head-butt a few years ago. I'm sure it's not the most enjoyable experience to be on the receiving end of one.
I have to admit, though, Materazzi just won a World Cup, and I've had Marley's Crazy Baldheads stuck in my mind for the last day and a half, so all is not bad.
