World Cup...

[quesarah]

Germany beat Argentina. In a shoot-out, no less. A friggin' SHOOT OUT. Dude, didn't see that coming.

ETA: Also, I probably need a sports-themed icon. Someone be a lamb and make one for me?

DUDE! I thought this match was on TONIGHT! Not this frigging AFTERNOON!

*flails*

Yup, Argentina led most of the match 'til Klose tied it in the 80th minute. Went to overtime, then shoot-out.

Fucking A, man. Who knew the Germans could be so dramatic??

The Italy/Ukraine match will be dull as dishwaster now the Italians have scored. Bah. I wonder if there is any womens tennis on instead.

Perhaps you can find a nice game of bowling to watch.

Or paint drying.

They seriously need to do somethign to fix womens tennis.

[madenglishbloke.livejournal.com]

like make them play the same number of sets??

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

That would be a start. Remove the seeding system maybe, all of the first/second/third round matches tend to be absolute walk-overs in the womens game.

I have just heard a story that right after the final penalty was taken, a German player ran up to an Argentinian, and kicked him square in the nuts.

From what deranged drunked maniac did you hear that? O.o

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Some drunk english fan on the internet, OF COURSE!

Nah, a random absolute stranger. So, you know, a totally secure source of information.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Brilliant!

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

I like to draw on a wide range of sources in my research.

I was at work and had to listen to the penalties on the way home in the car (not recommended ... nearly went head to head into a van). The radio commentary said that an Argentinian thumped a German player, so I dunno ...
