Commentators have described the sound as "annoying" and compared it with "a stampede of noisy elephants,"[7] "a deafening swarm of locusts,"[8] "a goat on the way to slaughter"[9] and "a giant hive full of very angry bees."[10] aka. World Cup 2010 general thread. Discuss your favourite ball-kicking squadron and why the best Korea (North) will win everything. Bonus. Recommended indie kickball games. New Star Soccer 3 & 2010. Both excellent games (NSS3 being 2d, NSS2010 3d) where you play as one player throughout his whole career (on and off the field). Featuring just about every league in the world and all the important parts of the game: kicking, tackling, racing horses, drinking so much beer you fall over randomly during the match. For the many people on this forum who don't subscribe to any objective reality, Mdickie's Grass Roots might be a more considered and appropriate treatment of the Association Football experience. A ball is involved and there are two goals... |

God, that sound is fucking annoying, I watched South Africa vs. Mexico yesterday and the goddamn bees didn't stop buzzing for one single second. Now Argentina is on and I'm considering watching it with the sound turned off. Oh yeah, and my Portugal is going to kick Korea's ass, so don't get too excited.  |

Are we though? Are we really? I have no idea about anything that is going on but I decided I'll watch all of England's games because I'm stuck in the arse end of nowhere without a good internet connection and only the TV to keep me company. What makes that noise? I have not heard such a noise? What is football? |

Well to be honest, it could go either way. Although America is crap compared to englands normal form, a lot of our best players are out of action or are off form.

Well my 3 predictions today were:
2-0 win to South Korea (achieved.)
Maradona will ruin everything (30 minutes for him to salvage defeat from a 1-0 lead.)
3-2 win to USA (TBA.)

Being a brazilian, football (or soccer) is part of my culture. Don't know how it's like in other countries, but over here, Brazil is playing in the world cup, the whole country stops to watch the match.
I'm usually not much into football, but during the World Cup, I always get caught up in the hype and watch every match I can.

The first thing that I thought about was this. Another, more amusing one. Not amusing for the players involved of course but for all of us watching it's laugh city. |

I was like, "Oh."

After an interesting day yesterday. The big game is finally here, Australia vs Germany. Clearly Australia will win. 1-0, Trollman in the 90th minute. |
