that vuvuzela sounds like a bunch of bees, it's nice and behind it is thousands of happy peopl
I can't believe you consider it the 2nd most annoying sound on earth
The #1 being a nagging wife/girlfriend?
id say 20 drunks chanting "U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!" taking a break for a beer "U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!U!S!A!" outside the stadium for a camera
Nah, drunken chants are awesome! Though the USA fans should broaden their repetoire a bit.
hmm we need a plastic horn that chants USA USA
7-0? in baseball the umpires call games on account of darkness if it gets that lopsided.
so in the england us game, the cleats to Howard's chest.... how was that not a card? the guy wasnt even close to the ball and the guy had his cleats up.... i was a striker in highschool, and they never let me get away with things half as bad as that...
World cup referees are weird. I want Collina back!
Avo, he was clearly going for the ball and was entitled to do so, it wasn't even a foul, both players went for the ball and collided in a 50:50 challenge (you could just as easily say that the goalkeeper missed the ball and crashed into Heskey). Football is a contact sport and getting hit like that now and again is an occupational hazard for a goalkeeper. It shouldn't be a foul in high school, it shouldn't be a foul at international level. The referee got it right.
when going to a 50/50 ball there are things you can and cannot do. hitting someone's feet with your chest while punching the ball away as a keeper is not a foul, going cleats up at a keeper and completely missing the ball is genuinely something that you cant do... if what the brits did was allowable, the general strategy of football would to chip shots at the keeper and have people try to injure the goalie while challenging the keeper for the chip, and then once their best keepers are out of the game, you have an easy time scoring. 50/50 balls are not an excuse to foul other players. and as someone who has played striker plenty, the guy was obviously going for the keeper and not the ball... he wasnt close to the ball and when it was obvious he wasnt getting the ball, he stuck his cleats up and went for the keeper.
land of hope and glory, Mother of the Free,
with your tricks unholy, how coud Christ you see?
@ Sitting Duck.
It is a foul to attempt to take a ball with a stretched leg. This is because a stretched leg can be a real hazard to the safety of another player, in the same fashion as sliding from behind or sliding with 2 legs. However, in South Africa, the referees have so far been unable to stop it from happening. :\
it would appear that sitting on your ass eating omeletes and croissants and cafe au lait and heroin is a poor substitute for football practice
or if the referee is the only non-negro in the stadium.

Fun fact: I once broke a girl's shoulder with a stretched leg while playing football.
someday a Chinese is gonna tell you, "You have offended my family, and the honor of the FIFA" and kick a goal down your throat
wwuuuooooooooOOHHAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa
How is it a foul to attempt to take a ball with a stretched leg? How do you think you tackle someone? He didn't tackle from behind or make a two footed tackle though, so that is irrelevant
He had his studs out because he was sliding in (for the ball), and they are naturally on the bottom of his feet. He had every right to go for the ball just like the keeper did. Heskey didn't stick his legs out they were already there. It was a 50:50 ball and yeah he missed it, but that's how it goes sometimes. I'm not claiming it wouldn't have hurt because it really would but that's football. It is a contact sport and sometimes (especially as a goalkeeper) you have to put your body on the line.
Notice how non of the USA players appealed for a foul even though they were standing right there? Because it wasn't!

I've seen Dennis Bergkamp pull that move once. Used a guys stomach/chest as a stepping board.
