The Football Thread #4 - It Is Not Soccer

So first surprise, Switzerland beat Spain 1-0. And Chile beat Honduras with same numbers. Last game today is South-Africa-Uruguay.

I think Brazil- North Korea was fun to watch. Brazil's way to play has changed a lot and North Korea wasn't bad at all.
 
Wow Spain.....that is a surprise...

But as I have stated in a post not far from here....a lot of factors matters when players come together on the national team.

Well ....lasted news online you can find a helpguide to "erase" the horn when watching on TV

It has something to do with decibels.....but I haven´t gone looking yet.

For my friend...ahem ....archenemy in football....Just kidding Palmtree

The vuvuzelas are no longer annoying me. I think the more you watch, the more you get used to them.

It'd be unfair to ban them as they are clearly part of the African game and their atmosphere.

I wouldn't like them to become part of the European game though. I love the atmosphere of European football, especially the singing but I think I can handle the vuvuzelas for a month. The only thing I now dislike about them is there is no singing :(
 
I'm watching a fair few games, at least seeing parts of all three games, if not an entire game per day. Doesn't matter if it's England or not, however for England games I go down the pub to watch just because it's way more enjoyable that way and the atmosphere is fantastic.
Love my surround sound system, the crowd noise comes out of the rear speakers, the vuvuzelas out of the front speaker so I get a fairly balanced sound and can hear the commentary, the crowd to a degree and the vuvuzelas don't drive me completely insane.

I agree.
Like we have a bunch of great players all over the Europe and they just don't get it together when playing in national team.

And I'm bit mad Hodgson left us and now we are stuck with Baxter as head coach.

As for vuvuzelas (orwhatever) - I read that they've selling well in UK now and I'm also sad if those will beat singing and all in Europe. I think it's great to hear the songs esp if they sing someone's name.

I watched first half of South Africa - Uruguay last night and... Kinda of sad that African countries are not doing as well as they thought they would.

Indeed.... especially the english are known for their singing.... would be nice to hear some before the tournament is over.... maybe people will get tired using the vuvuzela's....

hmmz... indeed again... watched some matches yesterday...it seemed less... (maybe the results from south africa did that... )
 
Today's matches:

Argentina vs S.Korea

Greece vs Nigeria

France vs Mexico

I really hope my country wins today.We can't afford another loss.Let's go Greece!!:guffaw:
 
The vuvuzelas being sold in the UK/Europe at the moment are clearly only for novelty value. I'd put good money on them NOT becoming part of the European game. Much as I'm sure people would try them for a laugh, ultimately the European fans like to sing and chant and nothing is going to change that.

Argentina were good today!


England tomorrow, whoooop whoooop :D
 
I hope Greece will win for you...

for my bettingthing I hope it will stay 1-1 (predicted this) ;)

I can't see the game live... from what I hear and read on the net... it's quite a game...
 
Mexico beat France 2-0. Surprise there, if Mexico and Uruguay ties their game (they play against each other), it means France is out.

Oh I liked how Mexico plays.

Greece won 2-1. Didn'tsee the game (I cannot see games starting 5pm my time).

someone just mentioned (of course in the endless talkingshows after the match ;)) that number two probably will meet Argentina... so maybe that will prevent a boring game..

I'm still shaking my head at this yet another surprising outcome of a match at this worldcup.... :cool:
And I don't know if I'm imagining things, but I thought I could hear more of the supporters this time..... less vuvu's

@Grissom rules... congrats with Greece's victory :)
