Wow.

That was such BS...Can't they fined him for doing that? I was so upset, they were just hating because Brazil was kicking their ass. They were really trying to hurt the Brazil players.

Brazil has been dominating World Cup ever since the 1900's and people are still looking for away to cheat anyway possible. I am not Brazil fans but they won the most cup and always finishes on the top 3 which is pretty amazing.

So disappointed. We may have just ruined our chance to make it to the knock-out stage. Well, thats what Lippi gets for depriving the team of true scorers and stacking it up with everyone from Juventus. Oh and btw...Gilardino is a waste.

We're still in a somewhat-decent position to advance. We play Slovakia, so we'll get a win there. And if Paraguay beats New Zealand, or ties, then we move on with that win.

@ your confidence after below average performances in the first two games

It's not how you start, it's how you finish. And you do know Italy is notorious for below average group play, right?

this. vrabbit, you should know better than to underestimate Italy.

Key Word: should

Im not worried about anything, Italy will advance.

Forgive me. I follow Soccer like I practice Catholicism. Like going to Church only on X-mas and Easter I pretty much only pay attention to Soccer every four years at World Cup time.

So is the horribly suspect officiating and drama-queen flopping a new phenomenon? It's intolerable.

It is raining Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllls. I was thinking that North Korea would play a little tougher. I guess the excitment of being in the World Cup and starting with Brasil is over. Brasil vs. Portugal will be a match worth watching from a skill and style point of view. I also predict Ivory Coast will lose to North Korea. Any thoughts on this.
