Topic: The Great FIFA World Cup 2010 Topic

As the world is currently experiencing an unique event which is about as international as Teeworlds is I decided that if there will ever be one offtopic topic on this forum, it better be about soccer. So here we go, be free to discuss your countries successes and losses, good players and whatever else comes to mind.

Just remember, offtopic doesn't mean there won't be any rules to follow:
- Keep things friendly, even when your country just dropped out of the tournament.
- No post spamming, simple edit your post. Also try to be somewhat constructive in your contributions.
- Please try to stick to the English language, even if you talk to fellow country members.
- All other rules still count and rule breaches will be punished if necessary.

See this topic as an experiment for further off-topic topics for huge international events. If it works out nicely we might do it again, if it fails in any way it will be over. Let's give it a try and see what happens.


I for one thing can't wait to see the Netherlands play this afternoon. People here really want to see them reach the finals this time. But I guess every country aims for that in the end smile.

I'm italian and I can say I have no hopes into Italy this FIFA World Cup. I bet on
1. Argentina
2. Brazil
3. Spain
What else... the first matches were so boring. I hope something will go better in the future.

Re: The Great FIFA World Cup 2010 Topic

i don´t like the noise from the audience during the matches . What i´m talkin about are those vuvuzelas. This ruins my watching experience and makes me doing something else instead of watching can´t stand that noise 90-100 minutes

Right now  i have to admit England has sucky goalkeepers.
Greece is a disgrace for european soccer and they won european championship 2years if i´m right ago? Can´t be real if we look at their playing style.

I bet on :
Germany, Argentina or Netherlands
France, England have chances too but i don´t think they gonna make it that far.

Edit:
It depends a lot on the results of the group phase. Due to the  calculations if done now  there would be some crazy match ups in the quarter finals  or is it semi semi finals then i dunno exactly( Germany vs Argentina , Netherlands vs Brasil and in the first round after the groups Spain vs Portugal )

So my final prediction after my calculation would be Germany vs Portugal in the finals

I also hate that noise those people make with their vuvuzelas. Its distracting, not only for the audience, but for the players themselves. There is no connection between the players and the crowd, like in normal matches - big applause and screaming when goal or nice shot; now its just that annoying and monotonous vuvuzela.

I look forward to all matches of Argentina because maradona is so charismatic I prefer to watch him as a coach, then to watch his players, I wish good luck to Netherlands, and I hope Germany will lose asap ( althrough they played nice ), and I hope to see many nice goals.

We will meet again when the flowers spread their glorious scent of victory and the birds sing us the melody of justice...

Re: The Great FIFA World Cup 2010 Topic

I am not that crazy on football, but I would bet on the Dutch if I had to bet.

The sounds of the vuvuzelas are distracting to our European ears, but it's usual over there... so be tolerant and accept it. If you do not like it you can use a frequenzy filter and filter the vuvuzela frequencies (google it). It works great, though you need to accept an audio delay of ~0.5 - 1 sec.

Antoine de Saint Exupéry: It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Besides -  I am the gfx guy!

Oh, Landil... I think the Vuvuzela is a cool stuff and I have today see a Vuvucela in germany style.
I say only awesome!!! big_smile

And I'm a very big football fan, I hope that germany win the World Cup.
Yesterday, greatly, super game!!! GER 4:0 AUS. <3
I think Argentinia and Germany are the best team maybe also Italy and Brazil.

Re: The Great FIFA World Cup 2010 Topic

Netherlands versus Denmark was pretty nice, although it didn't quite have the action we are used to from the team. Could be the high altitude they were playing on, or the very strong defense of Denmark, I don't know. But we won and that's what counts smile.

Re: The Great FIFA World Cup 2010 Topic

nerds.
I personally dont rly like football, I dont feel anything for it.
But if I would bet, I would bet on Germany or France.

The dumber people think you are, the more surprised they're going to be when you kill them.

Re: The Great FIFA World Cup 2010 Topic

On the problematics of vuvuzelas: maybe you can filter them out, but the players and the crowd who are not used to it are suffering from it. It has been proved that their sound is above 130dB which is harmful for the human ears.

Go Paraguay !!!

We will meet again when the flowers spread their glorious scent of victory and the birds sing us the melody of justice...

France sad
I'm sure Nord Corea haxxed the ball. Eh, besides that I don't really care, but sure, it's nice to see what the Africans can do.

22

Re: The Great FIFA World Cup 2010 Topic

yea stupid france they expected the wonder to happen, that means: france should have owned south africa like 5-1 and they lost 2-0 as far as I have seen the match.# Nabz.
Africans were totally good yesterday but imo they dont stand any chance..

Actually it was quite expectable. Italy, along with france, played rly shit at this world cup, they had like 20 more or less good chances to score today and they just missed and missed.
Well good luck next time, nabs.
