And what happened to the third half? Ghana could've made a comeback, but somebody ended the game early. Maybe it's because they're on the other side of the equator.

That was a very good game ... unlike the Nigeria - Iran match that preceded it. That was an abomination before God - any God, or all of 'em.

That was a bit shit, troof. :tup: Just goes to show that it is the whole game that counts, not just the score.


And just heard (as I was typing that) that boko haram has detonated a bomb outside of a venue showing the world cup. Plenty of injuries at very least. Cunts. Religion poisons everything. :nono:
