Once could be an  accident, but two or three times in one tournament looks like a strategic failure. -------------- Any version of ID consistent with all the evidence is indistinguishable from evolution.

Ah well, personally I'm happy that Ghana's made it to the last eight. And there will be a good match tomorrow, Argentina vs. Mexico. I won't bother watching the other Sunday game.  The outcome's pre-ordained.

Obama = Kenyon = Country Of Africa added in edit: Thoughts On Watching Soccer: 1.  What an exciting match.  Tomorrow I will have even MORE fun watching some paint dry. 2.  USA Soccer should consider recruiting more Theater Majors. 3.  WTF???!!! USA Soccer should consider recruiting ONLY materialists... I couldn't even count the times that some player kicked the ball the length of the field, hoping that god would work a miracle and put the ball into the net, right past the entire other club standing and waiting for the ball.  Guess what.  Miracle's aren't happening, and neither I nor whatever god you might worship, care a fig that you are praying for a miracle. 4.  USA Soccer should consider recruiting people with knowledge of geometry.  You can not kick the ball where your team mate is... you must kick the ball where he is going to be. 5.  USA Soccer should consider recruiting people with more intelligence.  Of course, if they had brains, they'd be playing baseball or rugby... -------------- Come on Tough Guy, do the little dance of ID impotence you do so well. - Louis to Joe G 2/10 Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08 UD is an Unnatural Douchemagnet. - richardthughes 7/11

Did England have Green in goal again, or is their other goalie even worse? Oh, well, just wait 'til next year, you'll lose at the rugby world cup, too ...

I do not believe that our goaly was to blame. Our attacking was better than Germany's but their defense was incredibly better than ours. Hey-Ho, out we go. At least the team actually tried this time, I can live with that. I think that every German goal was 1-1 on the keeper, that is the out-players fault, not the goalkeepers IMO. He did make a fair few good saves.

Bob O'H Posts: 2564 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: June 27 2010,12:19    Yes, James played well. TBH, the Germans did too, but we were denied a goal by the linesman, and their 3rd goal should have been stopped for offside. Ah well, I sense a clear-out in the England ranks (but possibly not of their oldest player!). We've got a relatively easy group in the qualifiers for the next Euros, so there's time to let new guys find their feet. -------------- It is fun to dip into the various threads to watch cluelessness at work in the hands of the confident exponent. - Soapy Sam (so say we all)

Ah, well, not much that a goalie can do under those circumstances. Meanwhile, Argentina's been awarded a goal with a player terribly offside.  Followed by a good goal due to a terrible misplay by a Mexican defender. Good.  No need to watch the second half, Argentina will just play keepaway.

I'm still laughing at how stupid soccer rules are, as evidenced by the USA - Ghanna match, where a Ghanian player fell down when nobody touched him and pretended that his leg/ back/something was broken.  He laid on the ground moaning until he was hauled away on a stretcher.  Upon reaching the sidelines, he jumped off the stretcher and was fine.

Oh, I don't know, the NBA survived Bill Laimbeer, whose flopping skills were far better than any soccer player I've seen. But, yeah, they need to do more.  They do issue yellow cards when the referee sees it.   The basic problem is you have one ref trying to see the entire pitch.  A suggestion I've seen that I like - when they review video of a match, penalize the worst of the divers.

Louis Posts: 6436 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: June 27 2010,16:50    May  I congratulate the German team for playing so well and I feel the referee deserves a special mention for giving football pundits across the nation something to really moan about for months to come. You've made them very, very happy. To England soccer fans, you have my sympathy. To the patriots, I too feel your pain. Now can we please shut he fuck up about it and get on with a proper sport like rugby. Louis -------------- Bye.

Me likey. Louis P.S. So there we were under siege by the Germans, and where were the Yanks? No where. If you bunch of bludgers are going to claim to pull our chestnuts out of the fire all the time then you better do so at important moments like when we go 3-1 down and need a nuclear goal or two to get us to the big penalty shoot out to save Europe. Or something. -------------- Bye.

What's the difference between England, its colonies and AIDS? Tomorrow, AIDS will still be in Africa.   Did you know that England are replacing the three lions on their shirt with three tampons? They're going through their worst period in history. i was under the impression that both were fairly tasteless remarks but i assumed fans of that game would be better equipped to determine the actual flavor.
