The World Cup..verdicts so far?

  • Following weeks of work, the E-GOAT team are delighted to present to you a new look to the forums with plenty of new features. Take a look around and see what you think!
This is what I've sent them for what its worth:


After waiting for so long to wait for the world cup to start I find myself after only the third day switching off from the coverage of any channel due to the noise of these infernal horns. No singing can be heard, the atmosphere is lost and goodness knows how the players communicate. The pitch and volume never changes in tempo with anything happening on the pitch so has little to do with the football.

Do something about them as I know many fans are thinking the same thing. It should be about the football but sadly its all about a cheap, nasty, plastic horn!

Absolutely 100 percent in agreement, the fecking horns are beyond irratating and have made me switch off !
 
So, there I was, watching the match on ITV 1 HD, when all of a sudden the football stops and I get some poncy advert with cars playing football...then the screen goes blank for about 20 secs.....then when it goes back to the football I see Gerrard being congratulated for his goal!!

It almost puts you in mind to kill someone...:PDT_Xtremez_25:
 
I must say I am looking forward to Italy v Paraguay tonight. :PDT_Xtremez_14:

Hopefully the Italians will show a bit more commitment than we have witnessed so far :PDT_Xtremez_42:
 
aargh Germany again

aargh Germany again

Interesting comment from the wife yesterday, when watching Germany demolish Australia she said why can England play like that? Hmmm not sure of the answer to that one :-)
 
Watching the Italy game at the moment...Mick McCarthy is a fecking knob...He's watching a different game from me for sure...and his mundane voice sends you off ffs...
 
Conditions didint help but Italy were poor, the first half was dire
 
Got to admit scaley those friggin Vuvuzela horns are doing my head in. There is no cheering and no chanting from the crowds. Its totally destroying the atmosphere of the World Cup and what makes it worse if that FIFA aren't going to ban them as they are apparently "The sound of Africa". Well if thats what Africa sounds like I'm ****ed if I'm going there for my hols. 90 minutes of that noise is totally unacceptable and FIFA needs to grow a pair.

Have a look here

BBC said today they are looking for a way to filter down the noise of the dammned horns, commentators dont like em neither do the players or most of the audience....just ban em. I wonder if SA go out of the WC these these horn toting lot will melt away...wishful thinking on my part no doubt.
 
Well Brazil and Portugal play their first matches today, Portugal v Ivory coast (ITV 1500 kick off) might be a half decent match but does anyone honestly, give North Korea any decent odds against Brazil?
I'm expecting more goals than the German match in that game(ITV 1930 kick off).

Good luck to New Zealand, but I think Slovakia are probably going to make mince out of them. :PDT_Xtremez_42:
 
Completely unimpressed with Italy's performance last night if they keep playing like that they won't get far. I don't know if we can meet them in the knockout stages but if we had to play them I would be quite confident. Fate tempted satis.

Great display by the Kiwis to get a valuable point against Slovakia - just goes to show you that anything can happen in the World Cup!

Re: the horns, they are doing my head in...I agree it has totally destroyed the atmosphere in games and makes me want to watch the 'off' channel.

Apparently not. I was listening to 5Live commentary on tinterweb and one of the commentators said he'd give his fee to charity, the match was that bad!

Something along the lines of "I don't think I should be paid after such an awful game"

Brazill v North Korea. Apparently you could get 33-1 this morning.
0-0 at half time. :PDT_Xtremez_17:

What were the odds on that I wonder!




:EDIT: 33-1 on a Korean Victory that is.......
 
South Africa given a proper kicking by Uraguay...Hopefully if they make an early exit some of their horn blowers might feck off and lose interest...

I couldn't watch the game by the way...I'm saving my patience for Friday.
