If only Ukraine had mighty wingnut warriors like these two guys. Just look at those determined jawlines and fearless brows. Magnificient!

Que Viva Espana!! Hala!

It was a b.s. call, but a well-earned victory.

Spain looked damn good there. Damn hell good!

ozzi ozzi ozzi…oi, oi, oi

Fortuna!

That’s it, that’s all I got. I hate football. So ein Pöbelsport. Give me competitive log-rolling and curling (the only sport where you can drink beer and smoke while you’re doing it) any day.

I’m just waiting for the US to bomb out against Italy so that the TV guys can talk about something else. Every game the team playing is either compared to the US or the announcers explain how this game will affect the US situation. I understand I’m watching the games in the US, but there are 31 other teams. The Telemundo guys don’t mention Mexico every three minutes.

At least we know they WILL bomb out.

The photo on this page is hilarious…

You must not have seen professional darts. You can be immensely overweight, smoke and drink while playing and winning. Even bowling requires more from you physically, such as being mostly alive.

Neuville on a pass from Odonkoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor! 🙂

Dude, now you know how us Scots feel during a World Cup. British Broadcasting Corporation my arse.

The Telemundo guys don’t mention Mexico every three minutes.

Maybe they don’t on Telemundo, but the World Cup is being shown on Univision, who are so in the tank for Mexico that it left funny behind three exits ago.

“¡Sí se puede! ¡Sí se puede!”

And Team Ecuador says, “Thank you.”

I’ve enjoyed listening to Chilavert on Univision. I haven’t paid much attention to their other announcers.

I’m pleased Ukraine went down like a ton of bricks; their coach is a right wanker!

An Oleg Blokhin quote: “Let them learn from [our players] and not some Zumba-Bumba whom they took off a tree, gave two bananas and now he plays in the Ukrainian league.”

Continue to flame, Ukraine, continue to flame.

Go, Aussies!

Thlayli- you’re right. I’ll be damned…we have three spanish stations over here, and two of them are univision. We used to only have two, one telemundo, and one univision, but now there are three. I hope that makes Michelle Malkin mad.

But even though my spanish is limited, I still don’t think that the univision guys are as bad as some of the espn people. When they get going really fast, I can’t understand them very well, but they don’t seem to have a need to tell me what mexican players play in (or near) the stadium that the game is in, or how this game might possibly relate to the Mexican team’s chances, or how the players on the Serbian team remind the announcers of Mexican players, or how specific plays in the game are similar to plays that happened in the Mexico/Iran game, etc. I expect announcers from a country to root for their country’s team, but that doesn’t mean I should have to hear about it every two minutes, during games that have nothing to do with the home country’s team.

Today’s Cote D’ivoire/Netherlands game was great, because they had an English announcer and an Irish color guy. They actually called it ‘football’ and hardly mentioned the US team.
