Czuch Chuckers: the referrees are given new orders .. they are applying the rules quite strict now and whistle quite fast

players did know this already, and are acting to take it to their advantage

ruined the wc .. the rules should not be this strict .. and players should try to play soccer

the same happened to the game of squash (racket ball) .. not too long ago a lot of top players called a lot of 'let' balls which would stop the game (rally) and start it anew .. they called in the hope they would get a 'stroke' (point for them, or giving them the first serve) .. since a couple of years there are actions to stop this behaviour and make people 'play squash, not let' (thats the call they use :))

maybe it should now be 'play soccer, not drama' :)

changed 'comedy' into 'drama'

WatfordFC: :) (or the english coach :)) .. no i mean .. isnt there a 'man of the match' after each match ? (officially declared)

Andre Faria: ah .. because of the goal (and no yellow or red card ;)) .. sounds fair :)

Andre Faria: boulahrouz was bad .. very bad .. i wonder why he did it .. no reason can be enough for such an action

he should have been sent of for sure

the second foul on ronaldo wasnt as bad ... it was a foul you see in most matches and a free kick would be given for it .. not even a yellow card

i am ashamed mostly because of the 'revenge' actions of all players that were involved in such actions .. revenge is ok .. but do it in the sport itself .. not on the man .. be grown up .. and professional enough to use the game to take revenge ..

it wasnt a professional match .. it was a match which you could see at the lower classes of amateur soccer

Hrqls: Yes there is lol

Hrqls: Nope, Maniche ended with a yellow card. It was our first yellow card...

I think the 2nd foul on Ronaldo by Boulahrouz (the one wich injured him) was the worst...

Andre Faria: was the second foul of boulahrouz the one after which you could see the print of his shoe in his leg ? or was that the first ?

i think the one which showed the print afterwards was the worst .. it made him limp for real and leave the field (he might limp if it might profit, but he wont leave the field to get an advantage :))

Hrqls: yep, it was the second one.

Just wanted to share my joy at my cousin Mark Pilkington qualifying for the British Open yesterday, coming 3rd

OMG Ghana is really giving Brazil a run for their money

WatfordFC: I hope they throw Brazil out of the cup...

Andre Faria: i really hope they do, are u able to watch the match from where u r?

WatfordFC: Nope. But I can see how the match is going on Eurosport (on the net). I´m at work...

Andre Faria: ok, will try and keep u informed as much as posible :o)

WatfordFC: I would like too!

Gabriel Almeida: you would like to what??, thrash me at backgammon, lol, your already doing that lol

WatfordFC: Eheheh... I'd like to be informed too about the game!

Gabriel Almeida: ohhh ok, but u have to be a good boy ok lol

OMG Ghana nearly scored again

WatfordFC: I'm always a god boy! Eheheh

half time

second goal was offside but official gave the goal

WatfordFC: I think Adriano was on-side and the decision of the referees was correct.

Pedro Martínez: Eheheh... your opinions about the referees, my friend...  boooouuuuh!

Pedro Martínez: even the side official said it was offside but the ref allowed it anyway.

Gabriel Almeida: ???

WatfordFC: Are you watching the same match?

Pedro Martínez: yes i am thank you

Pedro Martínez: We must send Ivanov to Czech Republic ;)

WatfordFC: You're welcome.

Gabriel Almeida: You have him? Where do you keep him?

Pedro Martínez: In our hearts and in our minds! Eheheheh

Ivanov is one of the worst referee I have ever seen. Even Blater criticized the referee.

Ivanov needs to be destroyed painfully

Netherlands will employ special tactics to shackle Portuguese danger-men Luis Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Deco during their FIFA World Cup™ second-round clash, their coach said on Saturday.


Marco van Basten said the attacking trio would need extra attention in Sunday's match after some devastating displays in the group stage.

"I think we want to play as we always play using our system but we know that Portugal have some very good players like Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Deco," said the 41-year-old former AC Milan and Dutch striking legend.

"They're special players so we have to take care of them."

And he took care of Ronaldo...

Andre Faria: I hope you've had your pill today.

Pedro Martínez: nope, only when Sporting or Porugal s playing...

But I take some extra pills for my press releases at xpert...

Andre Faria: lol .. i hope he meant to take care of them in a sportive way .. to pay attention to them and block them as is allowed in soccer :)

but maybe i am too optimistic and do sometimes believe human nature can be ok and doesnt have to be bad by intention .. although it might become in emotions.. which i still dont like, especially not when its with professional players

So many people that don't understand anything about Soccer...

Bruno Jesus: kick the ball, run after it, try to get it into the net (from the front side :))

Bruno Jesus: I Do

From what I've seen so far...man...it's unbelievable...

WatfordFC:Do you want to play something?

Bruno Jesus:

Marfitalu: Yes, well done France, but would have likd to see Spain go through

WatfordFC:What do you want to play?

Marfitalu: They did, but that foul that Thierry Henry did, was terrible he should of been carded for it, instead the spanish guy got the card and he didnt even do anything

Bruno Jesus:you chose

ANybody know the footie results for today, becasue ive missed it all this afternoon?

WatfordFC: Today and tomorrow, no games!

Gabriel Almeida: ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh silly me , thanks for that lol
