WTF does FIFA stand for?

Great goal, terrible match. Beckham is hardly a one hit wonder, he's a deft dead ball striker, look at how many of his career goals have been scored or converted through free kicks. If England don't pick up their game they won't go any further.

i was referring to this particular match.. of cuz beckham is a gifted player.. but the way england is playing at this level.. sigh.. too much luck is on their side!! TOO MUCH!! omg.. now looka t portugal with so many yellow carded players and uncertain strikers and banned players.. england seems to be cruising their way thru comfortably..

I'll tell you all one thing - this WC, which I have watched very closely, has peaked my interest in soccer immensely. Which is a good thing. But WOW, I have never seena sport where so many grown men bitch, whine, cry and act like someone shot them when they get tapped on the foot. It's almost enough to ruin the experience for me.

True, too much theatre but the stakes are so high they will do fucking anything to get the decisive free kick or penalty kick. In this game 1 goal can make a player immortal.

I hear ya. But for someone who holds self-respect and toughness in high regards, this sport is tough to watch.

I haven't really watched much since the last World Cup, but that's what I remembered most.

When the Cup started this summer I couldn't remember who won last time but I remembered all of the faking and writhing on the ground.

It definitely hurts the game

yes! Till 93 minute there was one team in the field keeping the ball, and then.... the fucking "Team Mussolini" gets a pk. It was a right call but still..... fuck!
