Aint No Right

This morning I was really surprised when I passed by an empty retail space on the concourse level of the office tower I work in:



The empty space was converted into this lounge. The building management must be big fans to do this. That's not all...



The floors had these decals all over.

For people in the eastern time zone, the game times work out well. Brazil is only 1 hour ahead. I think the latest game is 9pm(est).

Cool. Over here they are showing at 17.00, 21.00, 23.00 and maybe 02.00? I can't remember.

On my way back home, I saw some guys selling things like tshirts, green, white and red wigs and even tricolor (sp?) chalks. It kinda excited me a bit, but what's the point? Our team is always a disappointment Maybe I could get a chalk to support Italy . Anyway I am really looking forward to the inauguration.

Pffff

The match was sold. That penalty ...... you could see with your eyes closed that that was a schwalbe. So you have 6 refs, a gazillion camera's, a walkie talkie, even a special spray for the free kicks ... but no one noticed the schwalbe. The guy should have gotten a yellow card for that fall. It wasn't even a close call.

Then the way Neymar kisses the sky after making that penalty ....

Pfff,


to say it in a Etty way:

#nomoresympathyforBrasil

Fuck em, Karma will come around

Question for the Australians here...guess that would be you, Nausea.

Is your team really called the" socceroos"?

I don't want to watch today's game...don't tell me anything good or bad about it.

Yesterday's ref was alright for the most part, but there were key calls against Croatia that simply destroyed them. I'm sure Croatia will qualify for the next round anyway, I don't see Mexico nor Cameroon having the technical or mental ability to reach the knockout stage.

And to answer Artemis' question, the Australian team's nick name is indeed 'The Socceroos," at least internationally.

Looking forward to today's matches of Group B (Spain vs. The Netherlands and Chile vs. Australia.) And if everything goes well, tomorrow by this time I will be waiting for the boarding gate to open up.

Finally, I'm a bit pissed off because I can't find a good stream for Mexico vs. Cameroon.

Can you access CBC?

I'm watching right now from my desk. Surprisingly, it's not blocked.

Thank you, that worked perfectly :)

I didn't watch the game, but everyone I know has been posting this...

omg...netherlands! 3-1 now!


4-1...(within the edit time frame of this post too.. )

5-1!!

This should have been last Cup's final game in my opinion...

i find the world cup very interesting hearing about who beat who but i just can't actually watch the games. i tried during the mexico game but i got bored and switched it back to golf.

next up larry b vs. nausearockpig

aren't you supposed to be there larry?

We are going to have to change that if things are going to move on between us...

how about that, Nausea's fighting back right now. I thought Larry had this under control

what is the reason that soccer doesn't have an official time clock so the players can see how much time is left. why to the officials keep the time? this is how they do it right?

they also need to throw out the silly offside rule. just let them play and go where they want.

When it comes to football, it's amazing how we're all stereotypes. Amongst others, we have an Englishman pesimistic of their chances, a middle-class Chilean willing to spend about 3 months worth of money for a week in the World Cup, and an American talking about how this sport could be improved. The first revision is always, always the offside rule.

I'm departing in about 14 hours. Great games today, I hope we have a good time and make it back.

Take care you all.

i didn't even know soccer had an offsides rule until today.

it's like the "icing" call in hokey. it's annoying because it's always called and i have no idea what it is. get rid of that too.

we should get rid of you?

btw, I kinda like all the photoshops & pictures that pop up after each game.

this radio commentary is bananas
