WORLD CUP PASSION

LOL – that is true passion. How can you not love soccer and the passion and energy that its fans show? Only in soccer will thousands of people literally fight each other. Hooligans are awesome.

Promiscuous boy, he’s teasing me.

Good pic, but that passion would have been more enjoyable if that was a young and hot chick. Where’s THEIR passion???

Their passion is usually reserved in the form of lawsuits…

Promiscuous boy, he’s teasing me.

Orson,

If the image of an old, pasty Korean man with his pants around his ankles replaces the glorious vision of the sultry, serpentine dancing of Nelly Furtado the next time I hear that song, I’m going to beat your ass.

Just imagine him dancing to the song with his pants down, and it’s already happened!

And now the Crazy Old Man Singers.

Old Gray Mare she ain’t what she used to be…
ain’t what she used to be…
ain’t what she used to be…

I tried to do this after a Cincinnati Bengals game in 2001. But to no Avail. The protest was over Bengals owner Mike Brown. Now he is a god for hiring Marvin and all the THUGS that now rep the 513.

You can tell he’s not in Columbus. There’s no styrofoam cooler next to him.

1) Although I admire his passion, I guess this moron failed to watch the France-South Korea match, where France scored a 2nd goal that went easily a full yard over the line but was not called. The result? a 1-1 tie instead of a 1-2 loss, and Korea should have only had 3 points to France’s 4 going into that 3rd match. Furthermore, because of goal difference, Korea still needed to score not 1 but 2 goals to get through before that horrible call gave Switzerland their late 2nd goal. Yes it was a bad call, but I bet he wasn’t dropping trou when Vieira’s header wasn’t given. Oh, and I bet he wasn’t too offended when Spain had TWO goals wrongly disallowed in the 2002 quarterfinal before SK knocked them out on penalites. He was probably dancing naked in the streets, but not in protest.

2) I hope dude doesn’t have a cousin in Australia, because they just GOT FUCKED. No kissing. No foreplay. No lube. A total and complete fucking joke that actually merits protests in the streets, unlike out friend here. My disgust for Italian soccer is augmented once again.

This site is called “Every Day Should Be Saturday”. Well, for World Cup fans, every four years, “Every Day ISSS Saturday”, with all sorts of high drama, low drama, and low-cut drama going on.

Plus, there is no one network monopolizing the coverage. (I prefer Univision’s coverage, and not only because of the babetry factor.)

I just wish college football had this sort of tournament, where the top 8 or 16 teams battle it out at the end of the season, mano a mano, with no joker computers or alcoholics (coaches and writers) determining the mythical champ(s).

Was is North or South Korea where a fan committed suicide so he could be the “twelfth man” on the Korean Soccer team to help the team win the World Cup?

DBLD-

South Korea 2002.

N. Korea only qualified for the World Cup once, in 1966, where they pulled off one of the all time WC upsets when they beat Italy 1-0. They were the 1st Asian team to ever make it to the quarterfinals, where they shocked massively favored Portugal by going up 3-0, only to lose 5-3.

It was baja Korea, dbldomer.

Anyone who’s spent time in Korea shouldn’t be surprised at all by this. Their national pastime is protesting. I’m sure that some other group was offended by his actions and decided to stage a rally, only to be teargassed by the police. Then I’m sure they all got together to go protest outside of the US Army’s Yongsan Garrison, because of course the result of the match is the fault of the US Military Industrial Complex.

But no, I’m not bitter that I wasted 2 years of my life in that forsaken, shit-smelling, complete waste of a country being spit on. No, not me.

link to the original story/picture, Orson?

Just looks like the average Tuesday in Morgantown’s business district to me.

This guy may be off his rocker, but I betcha Mickelson envies his A-cups.

1) South Korea is still needing to pay for the hosing that got put on Italy when they played in the last World Cup, so this guy can just start counting down the next 4 years.

2)Kanu, while there are many problems with Italian soccer, the games this year have been terribly called the entire tournament, including the idiotic throwing out of Materazzi earlier in the game (which will also keep him out of the next game), leaving Italy playing 10 on 11. In the end, the game was going to head for sudden-death PKs anyways, and I’ll take Buffon and the Italians (my obvious biases notwithstanding) over anything the Austrailians could throw at them.

I am still in this foul-smelling shit hole Nate. Of course they are protesting and it’s Japan’s fault this time. We get blamed every other time.

I was looking for the girls with their pants around their ankles, yet kept running into this ‘kind’ of passion instead.
Game one vs. under-matched Togo and the post-victory euphoric sex was a differnet story….

italiangator,

I would have assumed you and Trav would have been holed up in some subterranean, Italian prison after the USA/Italy game. Glad to know you are alive and well.

Perhaps the he felt that the site of his puffy he-juggs would teach the refs a lesson they would carry into the 2010 World Cup.

Second: am I mistaken, or was it also a Korean who set himself ablaze so that he could help his team in the form of a ghost in a previous World Cup Tournament?

Finally, would a more appropriate title for that article be World “C” Cup?

IG-

I agree with all that you said, and I said many of the same things myself here, if you are bored.

LSUFan- read up, literally.

another thing missing in US sports commentary – freaky ancient prophecies -

Per Chris Waddle at BBC Sports:

The bad news for France is that Nostradamus has predicted Spanish success at the World Cup… well, maybe, you decide. The Frenchman’s prophecy reads: “In the sixth month of 2006 the King of Spain will cross the Pyreness with his troops. The legions of Beelzebub will battle him in central Europe but the evil ones will suffer doom and destruction. The Holy Grail will then come, like the King, to Spain.” We may as well all go home then.

Kanu,

Not sure what the “read up, literally” comment means??? Please enlighten me.
