Lorekeeper's World Cup thread got derailed so I thought I would start a new one.
Opening goal of the tournament was ace. France v. Urugauy is not as good a game as the ace South Africa vs. Mexico opener.
Although I am Welsh I live in England and am looking forward to the England v. USA game tomorrow.
(and if Brazil win, I get 70 quid from the sweepstake at work - wooha!)
Lorekeepers feats are ace, although I think you need a level requirement for the headbutt.
Although I don´t care that much for soccer, I do hope that Germany wins the World Cup - the fourth time is due (1954,1974,1990). They were 2nd four times already (1966, 1982, 1986, 2002)... :-)
And I do sincerely hope that it has a lasting positive effect for South Africa, although I doubt it. The FIFA has it made all but impossible that anybody else profits from any sales during the games.

What is 1830?
USA!
USA!
USA!
That would be 6:30 for any non military types.
1830 is the time, I believe :)
South Africa did great in the opening game! The first half was a no-no, but the second half was freaking awesome. I live in South Africa, so I'm very excited. That opening goal has got to be a contender for sweetest goal of the tourney. But it will be a tough time for Bafana Bafana against Uruguay and France still. If we can pull a win in one of those we stand a chance! :D
(I'm also rooting for Germany - they really deserve getting another finisher; as well as Japan!)

Thanks! But I cannot take the credit, a buddy of mine (jatori) is to blame. Oh! But I did the photoshop for the Hand of Pelor pic.
He followed up with a great item (the makarapa - the South African "battle" helmet for soccer - have a look).
USA! USA! USA!
I have the sudden urge to over turn a car and light something on fire.

You can only get away with that if you live in california or a northern state. You mess with someones pickup truck 'round here and yous liable to git shot.

Unless the person with the gun was the thing I lit on fire.

You spelled the thread name wrong. Carry on ..

I'm glad that you liked them :)
I considered adding Favoured Enemy (Italian) to headbutt's prerequisites. A base attack or level requirement would probably work too.
ZA's probably in for a tough time with France/Uruguay because of the their draw. I really thought that one of them would have pulled out a victory.
and as we sing over here (mostly by fat blokes with faces painted) En-ger-land! En-ger-land! En-ger-land!I will be watching the England/USA game tomorrow morning.
It's on too early here for hard core drinking, but I'm not 100% sure that will stop us.
U-S-A!
U-S-A!
U-S-A!
I thought it was just us that had the way too fat guys in face paint makeing asses of themselves on TV. Nice to know something are universal.
Now if only we could get our television programs to entertain and not insult our intellegence like your british shows do. I love british TV, the comedies are a joy to watch, thats what we need over here not jiggle vision or shows that make no sense(seinfeld!)

The World Cup is the most important sporting event in the world.
Bigger and more important than the Olympics.
Much bigger.
Basically, now that the various professional football leagues are finished (it's offseason now), the star players go back to their countries of origin and form their countries' "Olympic-like" team.
Then, all these countries play in Qualifying matches to see who are the best.
The top 32 Nation's Teams Qualify and are separated in 8 Groups of 4 teams.
During the next week or so the 4 Teams in each Group will play each other. In our Group (USA) there is also England, Slovenia and Algeria.
After we play each other, the 2 best teams in eacg Group advance.
So there will be 16 Teams that make it to a knock-out tournament.
Like any true Scotsman I support two teams..Scotland and...

finally world cup time.
germany starts sunday evening
54, 74, 90, 2010 und so stimmen wir alle ein
mit dem Herz in der Hand und mit Leidenschaft im Bein
werden wir Weltmeister sein !!!!!!!!!!
but the vuvusela gets on my nervs
the monotone sound kills any atmosphere, england plays and you can't hear the fans singing :-(
I would have expected England to win that game, not a tie. Not a good start for England.
Yeah, the vuvusela are annoying, some kind of buzzing all over the game.
Stefan
I think you will find Chelsea (double winners!) rule :)
Nope & nope - SPURS rule! Tottenham FTW! :-p
(But I will agree on the boos to ManU!)As for the Cup match, I'll take the attitude that anything's that not a loss is a win for the Yanks! ;-)
This has been a surprising opening for the Cup. (3) ties in the first five matches; and one surprising upset (Korea over Greece surprised me at least).

Thing is they have to support teams against England as they never have Scotland to support due to never qualifying (ducks the flying bagpipes and Haggis) :)

Last world cup the scots came to germany to support Trinidad.
Because trinidad had a player named Jason Scotland :-D|

Well that sums them up. Note: I have nothing against the Scottish - except you Andy Murray!
Well since we have a Germany supporter here, and considering the upcoming match in less than an hour or so...
ON THE SOCCEROOS!
Just thought we needed a supporter in this thread.

Is the Germany game not on in about 9 hours time? We have our weekly game this evening so will be recording it and watching it post game - while trying to avoid the result!
It's on at 8:30 PM 13/6/2010 and it is currently 8 PM 13/6/2010, so it starts in 30 mins.
I'll refrain from posting who won until the match airs in Germany.
Serbia vs Ghana is right now, Germany vs Australia still four long hours away
Deutschlaaand-Deutschlaaand-Deutschlaaand-Deutschlaaaaaaaaaaaaand
all the matches have been very defence-heavy so far
hopfully the pace will quicken a bit in the next days
I would have expected England to win that game, not a tie. Not a good start for England. Stefan
A tie? See, this is why USAians have trouble with futbol. We want to crush our enemies and see them driven before us, not shake hands in a gentlemanly fashion and go to tea.
Tooooooooooooooooooooooooooor füüüüüüür Deutschland
LU-LU-LU LUKAS PODOLSKY
Germany 2 Australia 0
Miroslav klose
now the 7th player with more than 10 goals in world cup history
3-0 Thomas Müller
4-0 Cacau
What a game! Amazing!
If the Vuvuselas wouldn't be so loud you could hear the German Fans sing:
So ein Tag, so wunderschön wie heute,
so ein Tag, der dürfte nie vergehen
End result: Germany 4 Australia 0

Well, you could - the Germans pretty much crushed the Aussies with 4:0. Not as bad as the Saudi-Arabians eight years ago - they lost 0:8 against Germany in the first game.
