UConn James Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Totally agree. The guy has been money all tournament. If there is a more dangerous player from distance, I don't know who it is. He gets some really wicked ball movement and almost all of his shots are on goal. How 'bout Wesley Sneijder?
meazza Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 How 'bout Wesley Sneijder? Robben, injury free is light years ahead of Sneijder. Injury free though is a lot to ask sometimes.

ajzepp Posted July 10, 2010 Author Posted July 10, 2010 Some nice highlights from the Germany v. Uraguay match today. First up, Diego frickin Forlan....WHAT A GOAL!!!! This guy is the most potent offensive power I've seen in a long, long time. And on that free kick, he damn near bent it in under the crossbar...this guy is GOOD.

He had a good tournament but don't overrate him...
Magox Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 He had a good tournament but don't overrate him... He didn't say great, he said good.
GoodBye Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Bet ya didn't know the grass used in the playing field (no, not that grass) is from Oregon.
bbb Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 I didn't realize or remember that the first soccer game I ever watched was the first time the World Cup used penalty kicks to decide the winner - 1982. I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I ever saw in sports, which had previously been a few minutes earlier seeing the whole injury time thing. So, what did they do before using the PK shootout?

bbb Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Replay or drawing of lots. I don't know what you mean by either replay or drawing of lots?
meazza Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 I don't know what you mean by either replay or drawing of lots? Replaying the game or drawing at random.
Dante Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Got $20 on Netherlands. Big gambler that I am. GO DUTCHIES!
Hossage Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 My astrologer said this world cup would be orange a couple weeks ago.

My earliest memory of the World Cup was also 1982. I did not watch it. But I do remember the nightly news showing all the Italians going crazy in Boston's North End. I never really watched the World Cup until we hosted in 1994 but have been watching feverently since.
bbb Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Replaying the game or drawing at random. They would decide the World Cup winner by a random draw?!?..........I guess PKs are quite an improvement!!
Dan Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 2 thouhts on this game: 1. These guys cry like little girls every time they're touched. I know they're tryign to draw a penalty or something, but do they really have to roll around in the worst pain ever every time someone touches them? 2. This sport will never be popular in the US until they can figure out how to get commercial breaks in every 5 minutes. (Oh yeah, some big-boobed babe shots wouldn't hurt either for the Aamerican viewing audience.)

LewPort71 Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Sure are a lot of Yellow Cards in this match... The "kung-fu" kick by the Dutch player should have been Red
