If France lose, it's because of Ribéry's affair with an underage prostitute

True, NZ did dominate Oceania, but when you have opposition like Fiji and other Pacific Islands, you would expect New Zealand (and Australia when we were there) to dominate. If it ever happened, then all other Oceania countries would have to compete in AFC also. It was joked about tonight on TV here. New Zealand would be ranked in the top 10 in Asia.
Then there would be one free spot avaiable for either Europe or South America, if FIFA went kept at 4 spots for the AFC in the WC.
Any old excuse.
Yesterday Green explained what happened and said that it had come off of his thumb. Here's an idea Rob, get the rest of your body behind the fcuking ball and then it wouldn't matter!
Twat.
You wrote fuck as fcuk in two posts. You do realize you can say fucking as much as you want without it censoring you, correct?
While these drawn opening games have been a little frustrating, it at least means the last group games will have more importance. Hopefully performances will have picked up by then as well.
New Zealand cost my colleague £400 haha!
People will say that this is the most boring game ever, but I think it's absolutely fascinating. I can't remember ever seeing a team play quite like North Korea does today, they are sort of playing a 5-3-2 where the "2" are defensive midfielders, but on the other hand they are quicker at turning defense into going on the offensive than fucking Brazil, who's doing absolutely nothing. Very, very strange.
They also play extremely fair. I think there has been exactly one foul in the entire first half. That's very unusual for a team that is such an underdog and is only counting on their defense.
Well, I'm not fascinated. Meh. Brazil's playing pretty badly, in my opinion.
Quite. Seems good natured between the players too.
Solid defensive performance so far - though I'd say their concentration was dropping for the last 10 minutes - and entirely watchable.
I'm remembering an article about NK on zonalmarking that I read before the WC. The major point there was that NK is comparatively poor at defending set pieces.
Could be a reason.
Edit: North Korea: A better side than you might expect
This is good stuff from the underdogs. Destined to end badly, but... Brazil need to up the tempo to break down the DPR. Robinho looks decent for the first time in a long time mind you.
Wow. Dream goal. Incredible.
I agree with this 100%. I saw a replay in the first half of a Brazilian player and a North Korean player help each other up after a scrum. That's so much better to see than the diving and acting of so many other teams.
I am also glad to see Portugal only get a draw and I hope they're out earlier. I don't like Cristiano Ronaldo for the same reason I'm not a fan of Sidney Crosby or Alex Ovechkin when it comes to hockey: Money having gone to their heads. Ronaldo is a player who is all about himself, like David Beckham. I'd rather have a team player than a prima donna.
