I'm going to sleep through the first one but I stuffed my fantasy team with cheap slovakian goalie and defenders for just this match.

I'm pulling for NZ in this one

6/15/2010 7:36:21 AM

hell yeah NZ

6/15/2010 7:40:48 AM

I thought Hamsik was supposed to be good. All I'm seeing is bad passes and poor timing.

6/15/2010 7:58:50 AM

wait until he's up against an easier defense... new zealand is stout

6/15/2010 8:02:15 AM

lol but seriously, New Zealand hasn't looked too bad in the first half... they've had a couple of really good chances

6/15/2010 8:08:20 AM

this game ain't pretty

but chances are chances

NAPTIME UNTIL GAME OF DEATH

woot

replays looks like he should have been called offside

[Edited on June 15, 2010 at 8:39 AM. Reason : .]

6/15/2010 8:37:46 AM

looked offside, bad positioning by the asst

6/15/2010 8:39:30 AM

yeah, the asst was in a bad position. Looked like he slowed on the pass before the cross.

6/15/2010 8:40:26 AM

why is video replay not part of World Cup?

6/15/2010 8:45:54 AM

same reason it's not used anywhere else?

6/15/2010 8:51:50 AM

6/15/2010 8:55:51 AM

I would like to see the reaction in Manchester after our goal. I love the reactions of the US and British troops in Afghanistan. Their troops almost fell down and ours went crazy.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6/15/2010 9:19:24 AM

YES!

6/15/2010 9:19:34 AM

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS A GOAL

6/15/2010 9:19:38 AM

6/15/2010 9:19:50 AM

KIWIS!!!

6/15/2010 9:20:07 AM

BUZZER BEATER!!!!!!!

6/15/2010 9:20:07 AM

that was a classy finish off a great cross

awesome

6/15/2010 9:21:59 AM

a beauty!

6/15/2010 9:22:59 AM

wow, what a finish!

hopefully the rest of the games today live up to the billing and continue this good start to the day. The World Cup needs a good entertaining game to keep the new viewers watching. I have a feeling a lot of the new soccer watchers are growing a little disillusioned with the boring play so far and are holding out to see how entertaining Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal and Brazil are. I hope Brazil puts on a show, and then Spain follows suit when they play tomorrow

Not sure if it's been posted in here yet....from the Guardian (newspaper) twitter feed

Haha, damn it. I scheduled my day around what I think is the shitty game and this was my time for the gym/jog and I missed a great finish. Fuck.

6/15/2010 9:33:16 AM

Drogba's not starting

6/15/2010 9:40:23 AM

Someone wake up Ronaldo

6/15/2010 9:56:47 AM

the commentator just said "the pitch was heavily watered on request of both teams prior to kickoff"...what would be the main reasons for this? to soften up the pitch to reduce bouncing of the ball?

6/15/2010 10:01:58 AM

I'm heading over to the Galaxy in Cary to watch Brazil/NK. Stop by if you're in the area.

6/15/2010 10:02:33 AM

fuck ronaldo

6/15/2010 10:07:17 AM

^
was still a dangerous tackle

6/15/2010 10:07:48 AM

watching him line up that kick was like watching that Nike commercial

6/15/2010 10:07:56 AM

6/15/2010 10:08:00 AM

I was thinking the same thing

6/15/2010 10:08:36 AM

Well, go Ivory Coast! It took 7:30 to make my mind up. Thanks Ronaldo!

Also, I hate taking free kicks with Ronaldo on FIFA with the way he lines up for some reason.

6/15/2010 10:09:13 AM

Can someone who follows Portugal closer than me explain their number 3 world ranking. Based on pre-Cup hype I would have thought they were ranked around 9 or 10.

6/15/2010 10:10:06 AM

For those who can't get ESPN3 to load (what the FUCK?!)

OH SHIT

6/15/2010 10:10:55 AM

wow wah wee wahhh Ronaldo!

6/15/2010 10:10:56 AM

nice flop by Ronaldo. yellow for the language???

6/15/2010 10:21:12 AM

bad yellow there, but that's the yellow he should have got for diving earlier so justice is served

6/15/2010 10:21:50 AM

yellow for being a jackass

6/15/2010 10:21:58 AM

Jesus, I know everyone hates Ronaldo, but he should have gotten the free kick.

[Edited on June 15, 2010 at 10:22 AM. Reason : f]

6/15/2010 10:22:16 AM

i didn't think that was much of a dive by ronaldo, i think he got a yellow for 20 minutes of acting like a bitch and doing the christ the redeemer pose every time he doesn't get a free kick
