The Quadrennial Global Round-Ball Extravaganza
StaedlerMars:
That goal is just so painful. It's so incredibly painful to watch.
You just know that that guy's career is pretty much ruined.

That's not really what they did at all!
Yeah I know you got to break a few poor, disenfranchised, ultimately expendable (you seem to believe) eggs to make an omelette, but that's life right?
This is bad because I was pretty sure you were actually a nice person?

The blog post started well and the news article therein is an important read but the fascism bit is kind of a stretch, at best.

It's even worse than the Neville/Robinson OG from the Euro 2008 qualifiers 'cos at least that match was 2-0, so England would have lost anyway. This time it lost 'em 2 points.
Having said that, a draw tomorrow and both teams will fancy their chances at qualifying from the group. You'd still have to assume that SLO/ALG are the weaker 2 sides of the 4 I reckon.

Khar, I read the article you linked to and that is what I got from it. They moved a bunch of homeless people/squatters into a shanty town. South Africa and other countries like it do this pretty much any fucking time without anything to provoke it, so yeah of course they're gonna do it come an event like this.

Oh, and when I saw that goal I kinda hoped the US had won as a result. Football doesn't get as much attention as it should in the US, but as with everything people get interested in success, so success at this year's cup will help with that.
(Also because I had put $5 on the US winning due to it being 7:1 on odds)
