Your constant level of retard doesn't allow you to rant on these boards. So don't do it again, okay honey chops?

Shut the fuck up, or answer why you think that Celtic and Sporting won't draw as much as an NCAA game at Fenway.

I didn't say they won't draw as much as an NCAA game. I said I would personally rather see a women's NCAA game if UNC/BC/Stanford were 2 of the 3 teams, and that it won't draw as well as Old Firm.

I've admittedly never been to Fall River or New Bedford, so please forgive me for underestimating the ticket-buying ability of Portuguese-Americans regarding a team with few if any international stars. I've been corrected.

I missed Cesc's contribution. Please explain, unless I missed another Cesc joke, too.

You can figure it out.

[Zososoxfan]

Chile are playing like they all did coke before the match.

The Swiss are playing like they all did Quaaludes.

lol.

He's not on the field, is he?

The point is that you covered yourself in shit, and that allows us to not have to listen to you lecture other members on how to post.

You also said that Boston Irish wouldn't care about Celtic. It's all incoherent...improve that.

[Zososoxfan]

Pique continues to impress. I'm a Barca guy, but I still think he's the best centerback in the world, with Vidic.

[Bosoxen]

Well, now Chile has to depend on their fellow Latin Americans to tie or beat the Swiss.

Vamos Catrachos!

[nvalvo]

Yeah, Chile don't have much of a defense, do they.

GO HONDURAS!

[Ahriman]

Awww, poor Chile.

What the fuck did Ponce do this time?

[dwightinright]

Chile is imploding...

[ifmanis5]

LOVE me some Iniesta. Favorite current player.

Chile falling apart with post-goal yellow.

[URI]

He's not on the field, is he?

Just like he wasn't when Villa scored most of his goals in Euro08, even though Villa's goals were used as evidence that Cesc was awesomepower.

Chile are completely falling apart.

[Bosoxen]

And now Chile is a man down. But on a very bad call. Shameful.

[BelgianSoxFan]

Chile are playing like they all did coke before the match.

They are actually behaving like Swiss people on coke

[brienc]

Looks like Torres was shot by a sniper.

[dwightinright]

Chile has 12 cards, Spain zero at the WC.

[URI]

Torres really should be ashamed of all that. I kinda hope he blows out his knee today for that.

[Bosoxen]

Looks like Torres was shot by a sniper.

And he wasn't even touched. Horrible call.

[SeoulSoxFan]

Shitty call - the ref seemed to be looking right at it too. Did not deserve the red.

[Zososoxfan]

univisions fucked. fail.

[cjdmadcow]

It's all very well to applaud Chile's attacking play but they are very undisciplined in this game and will be lucky to keep 11 on the pitch at this rate. It seems they've gone out there too wound-up to begin with.

edit for grammar

I didn't expect to be proved right within 5 minutes. Lack of experience at the highest level. Nio lack of skill, mind, just mental attitude.

Christ, let it die, or start a Hendu was Wrong thread or something.

How the match sells in Boston will be empirically determined one way or another.

[SeoulSoxFan]

I thought the yellow was going to be on Torres for flopping. Haters will pick on this shit to rag on soccer, and sadly not all undeserved.

[Zososoxfan]

Can someone describe the last 5 minutes? Univision just gave it to me up the culo with the feed.

[kenneycb]

Cesc's goal would've counted for two.

No, I'll do what I want. Thanks.

Relax nvalvo - getting shit for an idiotic post is part of this board. I suggest you start a "don't pick on us for posting stupid sh*t" thread instead.

[Vinho Tinto]

Spain zero at the WC.

With so many Barca players in Spain's roster, they should actually be at a negative figure to reflect their efforts at world peace.

[nvalvo]

You get yourself a reputation, and things like that happen.

Not condoning it at all, but you make your own luck.

[ifmanis5]

Agreed, poor decision by the ref, although they did have it coming and Chile may go through anyway. Would like to see them play Brazil.

[Bosoxen]

Spain had a counter attack. Torres was attempting to go wide to the right side for the feed to the far post. There was incidental contact and Torres did that typical "I'm shot" flop. Spain scores the goal, the Chilean defender who accidentally bumped Torres' back foot got his second yellow. It was an absolutely hideous call.

[nvalvo]

No, I'll do what I want. Thanks.

Whatever. I'm done.

[Bosoxen]

Whatever. I'm done.

You've been URI'd!

Disappointed with Chile so far. Poor decisions and mental lapses won't get you far against a superior team. I think Brazil will annihilate Chile either way.

[Ahriman]

You just know that fuckface Gasol stood up and applauded Torres.

[Zososoxfan]

Just In - With Torres getting stabbed by an invisible ninja and drawing a red card on a "caffeinated" Chile squad, Spain moved into 2nd place in FIFA's esteemed flopping rankings, behind leaders Italy and narrowly edging out everyone else.

[ifmanis5]

For some reason the Italian flopping bothers me more than the Spanish flopping.
Maybe we should do a poll on which side is the most annoying at flopping.

[URI]

Oh, no it won't. You won't be missed at all. My bad.

Underrated floppers: the Asians.

There is only one winner.

Portugal

I love how the ref stands on the field at halftime as the players line up to make their complaints a la the Godfather at a wedding.

I get that people think this stuff is particularly Italian, but it seems much more pervasive to me. The US were eliminated last time on a penalty awarded for a flop much worse than what we just saw — which I'd say was a worse call than it was a flop — by a Ghanaian.

A Portuguese was given a card for a flop today, I believe.

Everybody does it.

[nvalvo]

Just saw a replay from the Switzerland-Honduras game: Gelson Fernandes should have gotten a red.

The game has gotten way too fast for a single referee. FIFA needs to consider a two-ref system. The red should be given out to a 3rd yellow. There are a lot of things FIFA can do to stop this non-sense.

Coming to ABC this fall: Battle of the Incompetent Refs - FIFA vs NBA! Charge or a block? PK or a flop? Oh the thrills!

[SeoulSoxFan]

Holy that goal was in slow motion. Everyone stopped.

...and it was a deflection!

[Ahriman]

Chile catches a break! Nice.

[Hendu's Gait]

super sub!

I kid you not, that goal from Millar flew in just as I took my first sip of a nice Chilean Merlot. If that statistic keeps up, the final score should be about 2-45
