Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

^^^ big time, this is a new ball, first tournament it was used on, i thinnk the bundesliga(germans top league) was using it for the las 4 months of their competition.

this ball moves around to much making it hard for keepers to move towards it and catch it. it also bounces too much making it difficult to control

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

just wondering, is there any controversy over the ball chosen to be used during this world cup?

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

And to liven things up even more i hear they're changing the rules governing what boots players must wear.
Obviously it doesn't matter as it will be the same for everyone and the best players should still shine through shouldn't they?

Anyhting to make the game more "entertaining" for tv audiences has to be a winner doesn't it?

Thanks to heavy boozing on Saturday and jungle temperatures over the Weekend, I was a wreck on Sunday. I didn't meet my friends but stayed at home and passed out during the 1st half and missed the entire 2nd half and also the extra time. I woke up by 2 AM because it was frigging hot in the room and guess what...the Game was over. I only know the result and haven't seen enough to say something, be it good or bad. But no matter how it was, Congrats to Spain. If you make it to the Finals and win it, you have deserved to be called the Champions. So hats down and Viva Espana.

Ahh yeah my mistake, Golden ball, boot whatevaz.

I thought the world cup was great. All the teams had problems with the ball initially but the more skilled players seem to deal with it after a match or two. Still think there was some class goals throughout the tournament and i enjoyed this world cup more so than previous years. That plus i was rooting for Spain from the start so a great result.

They didn't deserve to win? Fuck that man.. I think a few of you are missing the point, the final was ugly alright but ya can blame the ref and the dutch players took advantage of him, they played like thugs for the whole thing. The Spanish dived once or twice but every other dirty tackle was justified with a free kick. I counted at least 3 red cards against the dutch in that match, Webb should have sent a dutch player off early to warn the rest of the team, the yellow cards he was dishing out meant nothing. The english media are hilarious praising Webb's reffing, he was crap, didn't take control of the game at all.

Anyway its done and dusted now, Spain are righteous champions and were the better team won on the night. Also Happy for Diego Forlan who got the golden boot.

umm, that would be Thomas Mueller... you mean Forlan got the golden ball

sloppy boring final, congrats to Spain... Robben could have put it out of reach twice and for all the talk of him diving, when he could have gone down and probably should have, he stayed up and missed a golden chance to put the Dutch up
Iniesta great goal, but most of the match he was on the floor, could have easily been booked for diving a few times
and that bloke that cleated the Spanish player in the chest should have seen red imo... for all the yellows handed out I was surprised to see only one sending off, for a minute there it looked as though it could end up 8 v 8, lol

I still think it was an exciting world cup from a neutral stand point, but that ball better have seen its last match, lol
plus way too many talking points regarding refereeing and bad/non calls

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

I am sick and tired of the passing game played by the Spanish. Thank God the Dutch did not let them play it ... Don't believe they deserved the win as both teams were crap imo.

Great goal by Iniesta btw

the spanish were clearly looking to gain a foul on loads of plays. Throwing themselves to the ground. Its so irritating. Pretty non-beautiful game overall!

+1
