Congrats to Spain.

Paul the F'ing Octopus was DEAD ON!

I wonder how much that octopus is worth!

Jabulani + Vuvuzelas + horrible Refs + host nation failure + boring/unepic final = mediocre World Cup

Red370 · 07-12-2010, 08:37 AM

I agree somewhat, for some reason this world cup didnt seem as competitive as years past, I kinda felt a bit disconnected.

I'm looking for a Forlan shirt actually lol

Red370 · 07-12-2010, 01:18 PM

I'm a bit bored but I'm curious who everyone would put together for their All World Cup XI, who are some players that surprised you and who disappointed?

Casillas
Maicon-Pique-Friedrich-D.Alves

Mueller-Xavi-Ozil-Schweiny

Villa-Forlan

Red370 · 07-12-2010, 01:21 PM

Iniesta, while a great player, dives about entirely too much, he could take a lesson from Xavi, out of anyone on the spanish roster, I respect that guy the most, he doesnt dive, NEVER loses posession and plays the game honestly.

Villa-Forlan

damning to all hell typical soccer formations:

Stekelenburg

Lahm - Kjaer - Puyol - D. Alves

Schweinsteiger

Honda - Sneijder

Xavi

Villa - Forlan

Yes, I just put Schweiny in a defensive midfielder position like a dumbass. and yes, 4-1-2-1-2 is a ridiculous formation. but those are the players that really struck me as having really good tournaments, and that was really the best way i could fit them all in.

and yes, japan didn't go very far, but keisuke honda has been nothing short of brilliant this entire tournament...although he did act as a striker instead of a midfielder.

if fabregas was a starter he'd be in there for sure though

I know its a little late, but I thought these posters around NYC were pretty awesome. Put them all together alphabetically and made them my desktop background.

cow · 07-12-2010, 11:12 PM

Do you have the posters in high res?
