World Cup 2010

Nakow, sa nilaro ng Chile kahapon. Yari ang Espanya.

Kanina ko lang napansin na wala si Torres sa Spain. Injured siguro.

Natuwa ako sa goal na nakuha ng South Korea before half time.

Para naman hindi maging masyadong biased ang announcer sa Argentina.

With the way Korea is playing... they should be happy if they end the match tied with Argentina.

OWWWWWWW! And look at the mighty Spaniards get stunned!!!

ok lng un, need lng n manalo against chile and honduras pra mkakuha ng spot.. overall, spain has a lot of ball posesion kahapon. hindi lng ng favor ung luck... its luck against talent, and surely luck will win. d p nmn tapos... in my opinion, mali ung formation ng spain, since they used to play in a 4-4-2 formation nun manalo cla s european cup. kahapon ko lng nkita n isa lng ang attack ng spain na c david villa. and c torres nsa bench p. fvck talaga c del bosque. mas ok p c aragones.

lucky shot nga ung nangyari sa Swiss Cheese este Switzerland pala. Malas lang Spain. Kaya pa naman siguro yan. Yung shock value lang talaga nung pagkatalo ang nag paganda ng konti. he he

tang ibang USA an drama na naman ng pagka draw. Panalo sana na disallow lang yung huling goal, foul daw, wala naman.

It's difficult to enjoy a football game when you have discrimination against one of the playing teams.

saan daw po yung discrimination sir taqwa?

No, I'm not pointing fingers anywhere.

I'm just saying something that could be learned in looking at the history of foot ball matches of the past.

I think Ivory Coast made a conspiracy against Kaka. Why... was it because he was involved in two of team Brazil's goals???

Cameras don't lie. It was clear that Ivory Coast's Kader Keita ran into Kaka in back play before throwing himself to the floor, (a good acting stint???)
This led to the French referee Lannoy giving Kaka a second yellow card, sending Brazil's star player off and unable to play in Brazil's final group match. I think it was a bad call.

The accountability of referees for bad calls should be put in the spotlight.

obvious nga tinatarget nila si Kaka after the 2nd goal pa lang.

I'm watching the first World Cup match being aired LIVE in North Korea.

The first match with Brazil got only taped.

Interesting that the dear leader Kim Jung Il has decided to have this match aired live over his Hermit Kingdom.

Naiskoran sila pero iba ang depensa ng NoKor.
Gusto ko sila manalo talaga.

I think making an upset will be too long a shot already, with Portugal having an excellent run. Ronaldo's making excellent assists.

7-0. Aww! Team Portugal is having the game of their lives.

I can't wait for Portugal vs. Brazil.

so... ok, North Korea is going home early, but it was great to watch them in this World Cup. And I am hoping we will see more of NoKor in the future, because really makakamiss sila panoorin.

I think I now realize my favorite grouping of this world cup: group G.

And as I have already said... it will be very much a "Thank God it's Friday" for me this 25th as I can no longer wait to watch Portugal vs. Brazil match.
...witch makes me now really regret that bad call made against Kaka.

Hindi na ba pwede bawiin iyon???

Sayang naman kung hindi magtatapat si Kaka at Ronaldo sa susunod na match...

I wanna see Group C's final matches. COntroversy, pressure you name it andun na lahat.

Kelan sunod na laban ng Brazil? Studio 23 lang meron kami dito e.

Perhaps a Group's final match that will be talked about a lot in the news and in history:
France vs. South Africa.

The French back home are outraged and ashamed of their team.

South Africans, on the other hand, of various religions and cults, have made text brigades asking to pray for miracle that Bafana Bafana won't be the first World Cup host team to be knocked out in the group stage.

"Charge the Bastille!" South African paper headlines say.

@xjay- Brazil match with Portugal will be shown on Studio 23 at 12 am (midnight) of June 26 (saturday).

i'll watch their game against Chile. mukhang maganda. Pero Group C ang gustong gusto ko makita for now. Magulo dun, plus yung controversial call sa US, will that haunt them? Malalaman bukas.

wow. Italy is gone.

Incredible upsets in the final matches of the group stage!

At least one of the teams with world ranking less than 10 will make it to the semifinals.

I'm glad 2 Asian teams made it to the knock out stage.

I'm glad USA made it to the knock out stage.

I'm fascinated by Italy, the defending champion's surprising early exit.

I'm now wondering if Spain will "follow suit".
That would be even more unexpected....

Another sleepless night for me tonight!

The FIFA World Cup is simply SHOCKING!!!

IM GLAD ACTUALLY. THERE WON'T BE NO LITTLE ITALY (I HAVE 3 IN MY CITY) BLOCK PARTIES GOIN DOWN THIS YEAR.

It's good when the 2 playing teams in a match speak the same language, (as Brazil's official language is Portuguese, since it used to be a colony of Portugal).
You get to see the players argue often with their opponents.

tuesday 20:30 (GMT+2)one of the best match in world cup 2010. spain vs. portugal.

With the matches of the 16 teams now laid out... which 2 teams do you think will end up in the final match??? Combinations anyone?

USA! USA! USA!.

ha ha.

Germany vs. Holland.
Germany winning.

yan prediction ko.

samin din. he he

Darn it! I was fantasizing of a US vs. Nippon final match...

ENGLAND v GERMANY! Tang Iba basagan na ng PANGA!

At first I just thought... this is gonna be one of the hottest games of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

But it turns out... it will become one of the most controversial as well.

England should have tied with Germany by the 40th minute.

I guess the refs could not see what the cameras caught.

Hindi tulad ng ibang "modernized" sports, like the NBA, where decisions could be made by referring to the cameras.

The first half ended with boooos from the English supporters.

Wow! 4-1.

England's top football stars of the present... buried by Germany's young players.

So is it time for England to also replace its veteran players in 2014?

Will this be Terry, Lampard, And Gerrard's last play in the next world cup?
That will be to find out.

But as for now, with team England terribly embarrassed, Germany has emerged as a clear, and now without question, a "live contender" for the world cup.

Officiating is Fucked! Now Mexico is on the verge of losing. Although the 2nd goal was clearly a goal, we can't argue the fact that the 1st OFFSIDE goal shifted the balance for Mexico. And the reluctance of FIFA to use replays will just haunt them in the future.

People in America are suggesting already like American Football for coaches to have 2 challenges at least. Coaches can challenge a call and be reviewed, then will suffer consequences like loss of possession of a free kick if the challenge was asked but the call stands.

pero ayaw ng FIFA gumamit ng "technology" so wala din. Man, i'm enjoying the world cup as a new soccer fan pero nakakainis kung laging nami-miss yung napaka obvious naman, at walang magawa yung mga agrabyado dahil ayaw ng FIFA gumamit ng replay, na wala namang problema kung gagamit sila.

COME ON ENGLAND!

ahahaha. So the assist. ref. made the right call???

I saw, with my own eyes, a fantastic 2nd goal of the match, made by team Brazil.

Chile not hot enough for Brazil???

Well, Brazil vs. Netherlands will be the first quarterfinal match on Friday.
Who's your pick???

Holland. I'm looking at a Holland vs Germany final.

Total respect for your team sir xjay.

BUT.

They have to face a Holland team that only allowed 1 goal the entire World Cup. Good luck to Brazil coz knowing the Netherlands, as much as Brazil is so good, they are going to need it.
