Earlier on the radio these guys played clips from the USA-England game of the American announcers compared to the Spanish announcers talking during one of the two goals. It was hilarious. You couldn't even tell when the goal had been scored when the Americans were talking. It was so casual and matter of fact (read: boring). I would much rather listen to the Spanish guys if I cared enough to watch the World Cup. |

My Spanish comprehension is meh, but listening to the Spanish announcers make me wonder what the fuck is wrong with the USA ones. They can shout at the top of their lungs when someone throws a beautiful TD pass, or when someone smashes the ball out the park, or when someone puts their nuts in another dude's face while dunking, but no emotion whatsoever when calling the soccer matches? Sucks that I still find the need to understand what the announcers are saying, otherwise I'd be on the Spanish stations all day long. BTW, holy fuck North Korea didn't get blown out like I expected. Plus, they actually scored on Brazil. So...maybe they won't have their families executed for losing the game? <_< |

FUCK YES! North-Korea is awesome! Sure they played horribly boring, hell the barely played, but the Brazilian defence failed there. If Germany disappointed you then you have insane predictions Waka >_> They were the only team who honestly dominated a match. I don't see any of the big teams losing now. First matches always tend to have a lot of defending and no actual football. This because a R1 loss means you're probably fucked. I think that now that some teams know where they're at the matches will open up. This means less defending and countering and more scoring. If not then the teams don't deserve to be in the World Cup. I also have to say I am not a fan of the current playing style. You saw the USA use it in the Confederations cup, Inter in the Champion's League and now nearly every possible team in the WC. People only care about winning, not about style. |

No shit >_> Ranked 2nd on the FIFA ranking, reigning European champs, one of the strongest teams (all good players come from the strongest competitions) and some relatively easy opponents yet they manage to lose? Ouch! |

South Africa is probably going to be the first host to not reach the second round. That's what you get if you have a bad team... |

if you're talking about SA it's because Blatter made a deal with them before getting elected as FIFA president (they vote for him, he grants them a WC) |

My faith in Spain is gone. At this point, I have no prediction for the winner. I'd rather just sit back and be surprised. After a few years of watching the latin broadcasts, The GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOL! of the spanish commentators has really gotten grating for me, but anything is better than Tommy Symth, who, thank god, has been demoted to ESPN radio for the world cup. Ratty scottish bastard liked using ridiculous euphemisms and ripping a team he wouldn't like to shreds. Commentary should be straightforward and reserved with its opinions. And definitely not in a scottish accent. |

also, Spains fall marks my comment about powerhouse teams >_> for the next rounds at least 2 big teams are getting out of competition, and then the shirt weight will become stronger. |

Absolutely nobody at my internship predicted the Spain loss. A tie was the worst case scenario for 2 people. Fuck yes, Spain >_>b I think Germany has a great shot at moving to the finals. They do have to keep up their game, but if no other teams pick up soon then they won't face serious competition. Of course the Netherlands willl start to get rolling and eventually claim the cup. JUST WAIT FOR IT! |
