Yeah not all germans, but a high majority like 21 out of the 23 ? around there i think.

Anyway Italy got shocked in the first half.

EDIT : Eh wait, i was wrong yeah. ALL of them play in the bundesliga.

i think the right setence is not all german league player are german and not all club use the ball, so there is not really an excuse that they have more advantage on the ball any more than the african team would have advantage because they use the ball in the cup of nation. other league in france, argentina, portugal, US also have used the ball.

anyway every time before world cup player especially goal keeper will complain about the ball, i think it is so if that when they have some bad save they can blame on the ball

The ball is just a convenient excuse. So far I've seen nothing to suggest that the ball is such a major factor despite the complaints. Free kicks getting skied into the stands? That would have happened with a normal ball seeing as so far the players standing over the kicks haven't exactly been free-kick specialists. I think Sneijder is the only specialist I can recall and his FK was from quite a distance.

mean while Der Kaiser have launch an diving tackle on the english team

Didier Drogba is given the green light to start in today's game for his country Ivory Coast against Portugal. Follow me on twitter for updates on the game later on :

Ivory Coast and Portugal contented to draw eh? If N Korea gets an unlikely result against Brazil, that would make things really interesting...

What lousy World Cup so far. Except for South Africa vs Mexico, Germany vs Australia and Italy vs Paraguay, the rest of the tournament so far are extremely boring and poor in quality. A change of ball contributes to that? I really doubt so.

I miss being able to hear the fans chanting and singing. Now all I hear is the commentators and the sound of a huge swarm of bees.

the darn trumpet




at least the they didn't bring gong/drums/cymbals/castanets/percussion instrument with twinging sound

Ivory Coast 0-0 Portugal

the darn trumpet = vuvuzelas

Brazil win the game in the hard way...

same here, i really wish those ppl won't use vuvuzelas anymore, nothing great about it, annoying, i miss those attractive suporters, chanting, singing, clapping, not just this bee sound.

i saw brazil vs north korea match, nicest game so far in my opinion.

Agree. North Korea made a fan out of me. I'm really impressed by their fighting spirit... and their manager's antics.
