Oh yeah, i like what France did in the last match :tongue:
as always there will be a few unexpected results (good ones for lower ranked teams and bad ones for higher ranked teams) but so far those 'least anticipated' haven't shown much that would give them substantially better chances towards the end of this competition
North Korean football players sent to coal mine after World Cup loss? ChinaHushQuote:
North Korean football players sent to coal mine after World Cup loss?
Recently the Chinese websites and forums are filled with the talks of North Korea National football team are going to be sent to coal mine as punishment if they lose at the World Cup. Is this true? Netease talked about this “as a not verified news” on June 17 after North Korea’s 1-2 loss to Brazil. Some sites claimed this news came from U. S. blogs and small websites. This article from IFeng talked about a “rumor” found on a Team Liquid forum posted by a Romanian:
“As I was turning in to see the second half of the Argentina vs S. Korea game, I heard the newscaster for TVR1( Romania’s national TV station) talking about four north Korean players gone missing from world cup. It is believed that they have fled in order to avoid going back to North Korea.”
The article also stated that a former North Korea assistant coach said “If we lose, they will be punished, some players will be sent to work at a coal mine.”
all other teams should import this method :biggrin:
And I have find something that I like and feel like sharing here: :)

too bad they lost 0-7, feel kind of bad for them heh.

What's going on with this World Cup?
Much surprises and a lack of goals
Slovakia - Italy the greatest match on this Cup.
Italy, France = epic fail :D they screw up.
1/8 - Ger - Eng whos gonna win? hate both teams ... but better England then German
Both North Korean and Japan make Asian proud :).
The shoot of Honda and Endo is so awesomee.
Chile vs Spain
Brazil vs Portugal today ,seems like great matches :eek3:
Brazil and Chile FTW ,alpacino= http://www.sb-innovation.de/members/alpacino/ will be watching it, I guess:top:
Brazil have been sub-par this WC as well . they have not set this WC on fire by any means and Spain has been very poor as well . i wont be surprised if Portugal will be able to win against Brazil .
Not that the brazilians would give a f* ;) They've already qualified.
Brazil is synonymously associated as the pioneer country of football . even if its a meaningless match for them , they cannot lose or play like they dont give a damn since they are "Brazil" .
depends how one defines 'pioneers':

Although the possibility that the Ancient Egyptians played football cannot be ruled out, the ancient Greeks played football by the earliest recorded football rules. This game, adopted by the Romans, could have spread to China. However, for such as simple game, it is likely the Chinese created their own unique game independent of outside influence. Recent research has shown the native populations North and South Americas developed their own form of football which supports the idea football is a truly global phenomenon that transcends localize innovations.
The FA rules were written by Ebenezer Cobb Morley in 1863.
