That There World Cup of Winning Football.

[klr]

It finished 5-1, but there were enough chances in the closing minutes to make it 7-2.

[Ian]

I saw about five minutes of that game while I was getting my hair cut this afternoon. The place where I go caters to guys; they have TVs on the wall tuned to sporting events.

And that's probably all the World Cup I'll be watching.

[JimC]

Wish I weren't so honest, but I'd be surprised if SK won a single contest this time, considering who they got grouped with and the fact that they are perennially mediocre at best.

Race you to the bottom. SK is ranked 24th out of 32 teams. One of its three first round opponents is actually ranked lower. Australia is ranked 30th. All of its three opponents are higher, and one of them is Spain, which is ranked 1st. The Wallabies will be hopping mad when they'll be tossed out of the competition after three matches without winning a single one of them, but they won't be surprised.

Socceroos, Hermit, not Wallabies; they're our rugby team, who actually have a chance at winning international matches...

Now if there were a world cup for Aussie rules, we'd piss it in!

Cue a range of national stereotypes ...

Anyway, Australia are playing Chile in a few minutes. What are you going to do about it?

On Tuesday, the Korean team got trounced 4-0 by 37th ranked Ghana. I'll see you down there at the bottom.

Yes, I know, but "the Socceroos will be hopping mad" doesn't have quite the right ring to it. Not many non-Australians get the conflation in Socceroo.

We're trailing Chile 1-2 at the moment. See you down there.

[Hermit]

Chile 3 - Australia 1 at full time. Chile had possession of the ball for 63% of the time. That pretty much tells the story.

[FBM]

Well, we'll probably catch down with you on Tuesday, when we play Russia.

[JimC]

We are pretty good at netball and cricket...

[Hermit]

This is neither the wetball nor the farnarkeling world cup, Jim.

And then drink from it - down in one, most likely - rinse and repeat! Piss is pretty much indistinguishable from Fosters, after all.

[SteveB]

In better sport's news, LA Kings won the Stanley Cup and I won $10 in a bet.

Nah, I like both sports.

[klr]

Dammit, why is Japan v. Ghana on at 2am tomorrow morning my time?

Oh, that's right, the Japs obviously paid a pile of Yen to get a good broadcast time for Japanese TV. I think I'll record that one, and make do with the other 3 live games this evening.

[Animavore]

Oh. This is on?
