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

I saw the Casillas save coming, he saves Madrid like that all the time.

I know you want to see Espana get knocked out but admit it.....you are enjoying what you are seeing out of David Villa right now.

I know of his abilities but seeing it now that he signed is just making me excited for the season.
 
The goal that was offside because the guy went for the header making him active on the play but couldn't get a head on it? That goal they were robbed of?

It a ball that was crossed into the 6, to little Enrique Valdez, that slipped past Casillas...

Kevin Prince Boateng had a huge impact this WC. Jerome is holding his ground though but there is really no comparison. We all expect Germany to go further than Ghana. That's known even before the games begin.

Nah. Prince repped his native country. Gets nothing but mad respect from me.
 
I got germany 2-0 on spain. spain isnt that impressive to me. i got germany vs netherlands in the final. it was my intial prediction at the beginning of this knockout stage. but i will not discount spain. they have the potential to put it all together.
 
being that he spent most if not all of his life in germany wouldnt that be his native country?

Germans don't see it that way. He's just an African to them, even though he's mixed. Boeteng's Brother should've joined the Black Stars too. With the two of them, they would have been in the Semi-Finals.

what are you basing this on? Im not trying to be combative, but I am genuinely curious as I only have anecdotal evidence from being in Germany a few times.

Don't get me wrong Germans are friendly. But when it's come to who they consider German, that's a whole different story.

I can type an essay, but I will try to make a short paragraph.

I lived in Germany for a year working on a project. I had a fling with a woman during my time there, one day she brought me with to go see her parents. Her father said something in German that made her furious. I'm sitting their like wondering why, the dude looked very calm when he said it. We left, and then she told me he said "he hopes it's just a fling and that I wouldn't breed with her" or some shit like that. I asked why would he say such a thing, and she told me that people like him are worried about us tarnishing German blood.

Shit made me bitter.
 
Anyway, I apologize for bringing that subject up. Let us forget about that and focus on the matter at hand. Great soccer.

thanks for explaining. I have never lived there so things like your story are always interesting to me. The times I have been in Germany I have been vacationing, doing business or just passing through. Was the chick you were messing with from an upperclass/conservative family? The way it was explained to me was that even though there are shit load of biracial kids and couples, only progressive/bohemian Germans would entertain biracial relationships et al. Just send me a pm so this doesn't take the thread way off topic again...haha

This was in Dresden, Germany. Yeah, her family seemed to be well off, in terms of what their political ideologies were, I don't know.

Most of the progressive Germans seem to live in places like Berlin or Hamburg.
 
Just got in from my Family Reunion but I managed to wat the Germany game....ARGENTINA GOT THAT ASS WHOOPED..I MEAN STRAIGHT WHOOPED....STRAIGHT E PONCE DE LEON WHOOPED....wasn't even damn close.:lol::lol:

I listened to the Spain game....sounds like Spain really didn't do much but Villa bailed them out of Jail again...I got Germany winning 3-1 I still like Holland to win it all but wouldn't be surprised if Das Powah ( Germany ) wins

The ref saved them; that funny looking pest, Enrique Valdez, scored a goal, but it was disallowed on a questionable offside call.

I do not blame them...If a person thinks that his own black women are not good enough to date, why should a cac father allow that person to potentially produce grand daughters for him that no one will want?

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Brazilian Football Federation says Dunga and the rest of the technical staff of Brazil's national team have been fired after the team's early exit from the World Cup.

A statement issued Sunday by the federation (CBF) says a new coach will be chosen before the end of the month.

The decision was widely expected after Brazil was beaten 2-1 by the Netherlands in the quarterfinals.

Dunga returned to Brazil with the team early Sunday and was met with applause and cheering by fans in his native Porto Alegre in southern Brazil.
