FIFA World Cup 2010

[NGONGE]

^^ When Portugal have the ball, Ivory Coast have eleven in their own half. Good defence but does not help much counter attacks nor keep the Portugal defenders back. Trust SGE to come up with such a plan.

[N.O.R.F]

You're watching a different game again.

[Somalina]

Zokora is the man of the match, hands down to the African Cannavaro. The best African team I've seen so far in the WC. Gervinho is needed in Juventus.

[NGONGE]

Nope. I'm watching the same game, Norf. As ever, you got excited by a couple of brilliant attacks.

[N.O.R.F]

IC dominated because they played 433 giving them an extra man in midfield when defending as 2 of the strikers dropped back but it wasnt 11 men behind the ball ala Inter.

 

Did you like that counter attack?

 

Nearly.

 

Far result.

[Jacpher]

Portugal got lucky.

[Allamagan]

Well done Ivory Cost! They really really showed of what they capable of, with style. confidence and was in attacking mood all the time, especially the last 3 xtra min. To be honest at the beginning I was in doubt they could handle the Portuguese.

 

 

Full time possession statistic: Ivoery Cost 51% Portugal 49%

^^ Allamagan, it is not a matter of ball possession, it is a matter of what can you do with the ball, and Ivory Coast was rubbish in that.

 

 

That Drogba shoowiistaha yaa dhahay Ronaldo garbaha qabso, caag fooqal jiirgaan waaxid, aawey fagfagtiisa, booladi maano seendada muuska

[Allamagan]

^lol@Nune, possession alone demonstrates who is in control/dominant of the game and with little more luck you can come out victorious. Whole Portugal squad was only depending on No. 7, and to be honest with you Ronaldo was/is more showiste and MR. Istuur-tuuraaye than Drogba. Portugal must be very happy that they came out with 1 point

The big game tonight, North Korea Vs Brazil

It is a make it or die! for N Koreans. I Watched an interview with one of their players he said we gonna give this game not only our 100% but 600%. Beating Brazil is a dream came true and we gonna do this for our great leader and father [Kim Il-sung]

 

The Game of Their Lives

 

When North Korea takes on Brazil in the World Cup in South Africa, the world will get a rare look at one aspect of the secretive nation:

The match will be North Korea's first at the World Cup in 44 years

. Art Beat talks to British filmmaker Daniel Gordon, who was granted unprecedented access to make a movie about that successful 1966 team

-

With North Koreas 'bizarre' training routine they do sometimes release new videos of their team members training in the most bizarre way like the one where they were training in

and then this one and now the ITV commentator saying they were seen training running arund in a supermarket! this time with no video footage to back it up with their claim, propaganda 101

[Allamagan]

1st half finished, nil nil, ninkii Dunga ahana fajac & walbahaar ayaa ka soo haray. Ilaa hadda North Kiorea wa la gil-gili la'yahay!

[Che -Guevara]

Koreans have nothing to lose.That makes them dangerous animal.

[Jacpher]

They're running around like crazy but good defence so far. If Koreans don't change the way they played 1st half, Brazil is gonna score plenty of times.

[Legend of Zu]

talk about determination and team spirit...love these Korean team!

[N.O.R.F]

Brazil are predictable. Right side is their strength but Ilano keeps messing things up. Kaka isn't doing much either.
