WOWOW! What a shot by Ronaldo. To bad it didn't go in. That guy is a phenomenal player, but lets see if he's grown up in the last few years. I remember watching him 4 years ago and he seemed like a whiney little baby.

LOL Slovakia got sloppy because the game was almost over and got pwned.

NZ earned that draw

especially since Slovakia was offsides when the scored D:


LOL at godless, one OK dive in the game and already bitching, mostly because you were behind.......


NZ needs to learn how to finish man, they had plenty of chances!

and their keeper is a bit......um....unpolished :eek:

That should hopefully teach the Slovaks to pay attention when the clock is running out, the losing team gets very hyper :)

I am hoping for a repeat of this...

Wow, HORRIBLE call by the ref. Man, let them play a little bit. Booking for being passionate? Come on now. Had they not got in each others face nothing would have been made of the situation.

It wasn't because I was behind. I don't give a crap about this shitty sport, it was just a good distraction from what I'm meant to be doing. And I saw 4 BS dives in that game, 3 from Slovak and 1 Kiwifag.

Meh... horrible game so far, Portugal cant break through CIV defense, and CIV is only playing on counter attack, zzzzz

I hope the game opens up on 2nd half... Not another 0-0, this might just be the worst world cup ever

these are the 1st games of the first round, the 2nd and 3rd games will be more open by default, especially the 3rd if people keep tieing because itll be do or die at that point

the gamecast notes are funny

As the cross comes in the flag goes up for a foul. About a minute later Ronaldo has the ball in the net but that's only because everyone had stopped playing.

"And you know that if there is contact Ronaldo is going to go down. Any contact. Even a puff of wind."

Announcer one: " Oh there's that magic spray that does absolutely nothing for you"
Announcer two: "They didn't really put enough on, did they?"

Haha, from the ESPN play-by-play:

CIV try to take the corner short and as soon as they do the referee blows for full time. That piece of stupidity sums up a game that promised much but delivered nothing but boredom. that is 90 minutes of my life I can't get back.
:D

I actually enjoyed the first half. I missed the second because I was en route to work.

Anyway, I picked a draw so I'm happy with the result of course. :awe:
