WC - Tuesday morning games (7:30 ET ESPN)

[Bucklion]

Even the ESPN GameCast person giving game updates is getting sick of Ronaldo's antics... update at 36':

"Ronaldo stands hands on hips staring at the referee after one of his flicks goes out of play. He is a right old moaner sometimes isn't he? Get on with it fella."

And this at 21':

"Ronaldo had already complained to the referee a few times before that card. He'll have to rein it in a bit now, given his penchant for whining at officials."

 

[Bucklion]

Actually I really like this gamecast guy

"Oh dear, Tiene's corner misses everyone and goes out of play on the far side. Pathetic."

Portugal being excoriated by the commentator for their anti-football tactics.

I hope the Ivory Coast can find a goal or two in the second half.

0-0 at the half. Dominated by Ivory Coast, really.

Ronaldo had a screamer early on, then nothing for Portugal.

 

[Bucklion]

"

A Mexican wave breaks out as the half-time whistle goes and that tells you all you need to know about the quality of that opening period."

Gamecast guys are brutal today

 

[bkochmc]

They are pretty funny, and we don't have to listen to the vuvuzelas!

 

[OHSportsFan]

So, ah, about this vBet closing...

 

[PlanetFrnd]

.....and Portugal subs in The Situation....

 

[Bucklion]

Deco whining like a bitch as he leaves...I had forgotten how much I hate this team.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Drogba on. 66th minute

 

[OHSportsFan]

Nil-Nil.



Although, it did open up a little in the 2nd half. Still not many real chances. Time to see Brazil stomped N. Korea and on to the 2nd games.

edit- well, group H still plays their first matches tomorrow.

GameCast:

94' - CIV try to take the corner short and as soon as they do the referee blows for full time. That piece of stupidity sums up a game that promised much but delivered nothing but boredom. that is 90 minutes of my life I can't get back.
