Official World Cup matches discussion thread [R]

enjoyed that one a lot !

hopefully tomorrow is as entertaining.

 

I don't even think that'll be an issue. If it wasn't for him, Uruguay wouldn't even have been in a position for the Luis Suarez debacle to happen. Forlan's going back to Montevideo a hero. I think the real question is whether or not he'll be returning to Atletico after his fantastic showing this summer.

 

Yep. He also gets to come home to uber-hottie Zaira Nara after a tough day in the office. I think it's safe to say he'll be okay even after narrowly missing the would-be tying goal in a game they didn't really have any business playing in.

 

Both Forlan & Suarez will be heroes in Montevideo!

 

So you've never booed a pro athlete?

I booed the sh!t out of Becks at his first appearance in Oakland. Does that make me classless as well? All the LA fans may have thought so, based on how many heads turned around when I did, but this is 'Quakes country after all.

Ever been to a Giants/Dodgers game? Boos galore.

As American sports fans, I thought it was an accepted part of the game, when done with some taste of course. Villains are part of every sport and rightfully so in terms of adding a little intensified competition into the mix.

I guess I never really took offense to boos at any time in life. It was always part of the constant story lines that develop with fan bases in all pro sports.

My $.02 anyway.

 

Yes, but if he does it to my team, I'm going to boo him, just as we booed Robert Warzycha when he did the same thing to the Quakes.

 

I see. So you're smart enough when you boo. African fans weren't when they booed. Gotcha.

Exactly.

A little perspective is all I tried to bring about. Booing isn't really all that big a deal. They booed. BFD. Did I miss the riots they started during the game or something?

 

I can't understand why the announcer, Ian Darke, got so bent out of shape about the boos. Booze bends me out of shape, but....

 

You would thnik that Google , a local company with millions of millions of soccer fans around the world using their search engine constantly possibly every second of the day, would have the smarts to invest money in the sport of soccer. I mean the Quakes are the only local soccer team and I can not believe they would not be interested in being a sponsor or have a naming right on their stadium. Ho much money would they lose? I doubt it would be much and to them, its pocket change. I am sure they have been approached by Lew and the Quake so seriously, why not? It makes no sense.....below is their current web page today with a picture of a world cup stadium....
