***Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread***

During the key change in the south african national anthem some tears showed up for me:dance::dance::dance:
 
Mexico stroking the ball about too easily and getting too much possession on the right wing. South Africa need to force the game and press higher up the field. They are the home team
 
I dont watch soccer but I was listening to WTOP(DC) this morning and they were saying that the ball they are using is fucked. Will it effect the game like when the NBA tried to use that new ball?

Its a lot lighter with new technology. So when you have professionals, who are use to kicking a heavier ball, things change when it becomes lighter. This multiplied by 100X due to the seriousness of the world cup

They said goalies were bitching because its like a wiffle ball in the air the way it changes directions and such.

Lighter means it can be impacted by air much more too.

Kind of like dropping a box and then a feather.

You know the box is gonna come straight down, but damn it if that feather dont sway side to side before it comes down:lol:
 
"A player is in an offside position if he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent."

I am shocked that Tyler and Ekoku didn't know this. Perfect call. Offsides.

:yes:
 
damn. I'm looking forward to today. I really want to see what he has left in the tank. Heard he probably won't even start against Uruguay.

why am I getting the feeling that Mexico could blow South Africa out of the water....but b/c its the opening match.....it would look bad if they did?

Any long time world cup heads know of any blowouts in the opening match?
