[Football] FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa

Woah where'd you come from LOL. Nah your actually right, Ronaldinho has a WC title from 02'. Hence the fail of comparison. I do think he's in his later days of his soccer days. One of Brasil's many greats.

 

If you're the best player on your team and you have the slightest opening you should shoot. Most of his teammates were deferring to him and trying to get him looks anyways cause they wanted him to shoot. The last 2 minutes he absolutely had to shoot wildly and I don't think you can really knock him for that.

Sure he may not live in NK and hell he wasn't even born there but his mom identifies herself as North Korean so maybe he feels for her? Maybe he's torn with the tension between North and South. Either way it's gotta be tough for him.

 

He's good man but he has been in poor form MacAddidas.

 

why didn't Alexandre Pato make the Brazil squad?

 

If the two Korea's were to unite, you'd have a pretty formidable soccer team.

What SK lacks is a reliable striker and defense, which are the strengths (defense especially) of the NK team.

 

He doesen't always play great with Juve but when he suits up for Brasil he turns it on. He had a great game today anchoring that mid field. I was all for Ronaldinho making the squad, they're just stacked and I guess age was the factor in leaving him off.

Same for Pato, I guess they left him off because he was too young. The only player that had a poor showing for Brasil was Luis Fabiano and I think he was frustrated, maybe should of put Baptista in late in the game. This is a great squad though.

 

SK is already formidable. If Park Ji Sung isn't a reliable striker I'm not sure who is. We don't need help from any North Koreans or players representing North Korea.

 

I believe Pato should of made the squad too.

But I think his injuries in AC Milan really derailed him.

 

I dont remember! but did ronaldinho play the copa america in 2007??

 

Ji Sung is awesome, but he usually controls the mid field, where he is most effective.

 

Somehow I did not know you are Korean .

 

Park Ji Sung is a winger, SK striker was Park Chu Young who missed a couple chances vs. Greece, so they could use a striker who could put those chances away.

 

I was hoping North Korea at least got a point today.

The complete lack of information on their team compared to others is fascinating.

So Is Kim Jong Il just going to show highlights of the last goal and say they won 1-0?

 

saw this on PTI today

looks like Greens mistake vs the US wasn't the worst of his career haha

 

Yeah I saw that a few weeks before the world cup. That's more of a complete mental error on his part compared to the WC one where he just didn't make an easy stop; at least for a WC quality goalie.

 

Missed the Brazil game today, are the vuvuzuelas muted now?

The put in some filters. They sounded a bit lower than normal which was nice but you can still make them out in the background which is annoying as hell.

 

filters are not gonna really take it out. unlike what TV shows tell you about sound..you can't really isolate it like that.

 

Couldn't they just use some time of filters that look for that frequency of sound to deafen it a bit like noise canceling headphones?

If not then just lower the damn sound of the crowd for all I care. I know it won't be the same but anything is better then those horns.
