Let "THE GAME" begin

did not miss much, one red card for Uruguay; well second yellow but it had to be an immediate RED
6:30 Argentina Nigeria...
On a side note, Argentinians are the only people in the world that do not receive phone calls, cards, e-mails and such from their parents on their birthdays.
They call, send cards, e-mail their parents to congratulate them for having such wonderful person as a son/daughter !!!
 
The World Cup has been awesome so far. I also got to see all the games that were played in Stanford in 94 as well as a semi and the final. Seeing a world cup live can not be compared to by anything and I'm hoping to attend Brazil 2014. Some one a few post back mentioned Maradona's mano de dios(hand of god) I think that has been put to rest since Tierre Henry's hand ball that put France in the WC and left Ireland out!!!!
 
Germany vs Australia next !!

I woke up to watch the first game; wife: "Turn that thing off" ...
I need to get me some of those 90's Sony TV glasses, remember them at Sony Metreon?

Yesterday while at YMCA Embarcadero tried to get my little girl to yell U S A !!! U S A !!
She went U S .................................... A?
The best kits USA has worn are both for US 94; the wavy striped shirt and the iconic denim looking shirt

I was actually that which I was referring to and not the one with Maradona. Many say that FIFA turned a blind eye to it as they wanted France in badly.

In case you didn't see it here is the long version with Irish commentators

I believe espn30.com has a live stream. Yeah FIFA not replaying that game for Ireland was HORRIBLE!!!!! No worries Mexico will handle France and pass on with S. Africa and send France home to watch :bigsmile:

Shame on both UEFA and FIFA; issues like that one should have BIG consequences on the player or team.

ESPN3
 
No rule (yet) allows for a game to be replayed in its entirety; a partial game can be replayed due to some circumstances; I remember a league game that was played at a later date; the last 10 mins. or so but in the early 80's
 
Two Euros Holland vs Denmark
I'm going to need some heavily caffeinated coffee
The Germans are just impressive. Wondering if Roberto is going to paint his face "Verde Amarello"
Going to sleep early because 4:00am means way of a long day for me.

Tony this is from ESPN3 http://espn.go.com/espn3/index/_/sport/soccer-futbol/view/live/?ex_cid=2010_espn3_xxx_wc_ti_xxx

There's a very tight relationship between FIFA and Adidas
The guy who holds a big stake in Adidas is French, owner of Olympic du Marseille
98 World Cup was a battle of the brands too Adidas vs Nike
For 06 there was a battle too but between the two brands founded by brothers Rudolph and Adolph Dassler; the moment Puma signed Italia it was set to confront Germany (Adidas) at the final; did not work that way but hey France was wearing the 3 stripes, right? so kind of worked out.
 
Mario,

Just started reading a good book you might be interested in call Soccernomics. It reads like a cross between "Money Ball" and "Freakonomics" but all soccer related.
