All along, I thought Brazil would compact the midfield, as they always do and play a high back line... Against Ivory Coast they absolutely refused to that. They played the length of the field and never let Drogba have running room between the offside trap and the goal keeper. As a result of the stretch, Kaka was forced to try and move up the ball from the defensive to the offensive midfield, but the Ivorian midfielders took it away from his with shocking ease. The inability of Brazil to move up, was why they were so impotent in the front line in the first 15 minutes. However, that defence of Melo, Juan, Bastos, Maicon, Gilberto Silva and Michel Bastos simply choked out the supply of air to Drogba too... In all fairness, that game should have ended in a draw if Kolo Toure had stood and challenged Luis Fabiano instead of going down..
Brazil were going nowhere in that game; they simply were not going to let Drogba loose on Juan and Lucio...Props to Dunga for showing how great a strategist he is...
Renaldo got that lucky as shit

I feel for the North Koreans. They may get killed, and its not even funny. with their crazy ass leader man.
Hope the players can claim refugee status
Did you hear them say that the manager said that he received tactical advice from the "gentle leader" before the match?
They prob have army guards ensuring they don't take off to a democratic nation

N.K. is not gonna let themselves get embarrassed like that again, and i don't see Brazil putting 3 past Portugal.
Thats what they deserve for not trying to get 3 points off Portugal when they had the chance and for not playing against for Brasil for 82 of the 90 minutes.
This ref is handing ou yellow cards like nobody's business.
GOOOOL!
I wonder what Kim Jong Il is gonna do when they arrive back to North Korea. They're all probably gonna end up missing,
No South American team has lost, and only one Latin American country has a loss(Honduras).
CIV could still make it if Brasil wins and CIV put up a 10 spot on North Korea
these fuckers have me heated the more I think about them holding the ball up in the corner at the end of the Portugal match. Instead of trying to get the 3 points, they are playing for the fucking draw when they had the portuguese on the ropes...
Come on Honduras!
Can't wait to see goals like that @ the Nou Camp

In the last world cup. An English referee gave a player three yellow cards. That was his last game at the World Cup. Whether you come from a 'big' country or a smaller one, when you mess up like that..........

That being said, what ever happen to the handball ref that fucked over Ireland?

He will not be the only referee left out in the next round. That is what they do. With or without the controversy, he was not gonna go. How many other African refs are there in the game. Now the French refs who let Fabiano palm the ball will be in the next round; as will the motherfucker who gave Uruguay a penalty...
I picked David Villa as the golden boot winner. Hopefully he will get his plenty of goals because Torres left his shooting boots at home
Penalty!!!!!!!!!!!!
Penalty!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did he miss that?
Missed
He was about to tie El Pipita and failed.
Spain over passing the ball. Fabregas will set up another goal
I guarantee that
