World Cup Updates.

Ask me in the comments to talk about Germany, too.

SVK v. PAR

ughhh omg #svk v. #par too bad I don't care at all about this game. but #par will probably win, 2-0 for them already. /tired.

ITA v. NZL

ita v. #nzl tralala I don't really care about this game either. What's for breakfast? /pokes around in fridge for some food

Hooooly crap, #nzl takes lead at the #worldcup for first time in their history, with a first goal against #ita !

FIFA changes yellow card policy to keep big names in the #worldcup finals: http://bit.ly/crboEj

oooooooooh penalty & yellow omg. a chance for #ita !

OOOH EQUALIZED 1-1

ESPN COMMENTATORS JUST CALLED ITALY'S CONSTANT FALLING "DEEPLY PATHETIC". lol this game. #nzl is holding up!

WTF REF you just gave #nzl a yellow card bc the player got a cramp and was "time-wasting"? WHAT. Fuck you.

Comentators: "#fra , #ita , #eng - problems". FML this is true but my heart still screams DON'TCLUMP #ENG WITH THEM fucking England. T_T

YAY well done #nzl ! Got a point off the world champions #ita and managed a draw! :D

#ita & #nzl level, #par at top, #svk at bottom. #ita plays svk next, #nzl plays #par , so more likely #ita will go through.

~Break for the French NT Drama~

Omg seriously what is this shit about France refusing to train and their fitness coach quitting? Wow, bring on the #worldcup ~drama~

ontd_football: "Are France being paid by the English FA to make their team look less embarassing?" lmao jfc.

LOOK AT YOUR FRENCH TEAM NOW OMG how crazy and also stupid and disrespectful >:( http://bit.ly/aCjtW4
Fitness Coach Walks Out of French Training
By JEROME PUGMIRE (AP)

KNYSNA, South Africa — France team director Jean-Louis Valentin says the national team is refusing to train following a dispute on the practice field.
Valentin also says he has resigned from the French football federation, shouting that he was "ashamed" of the team.
The team arrived at training Sunday but a few minutes after taking the field, fitness coach Robert Duverne stormed away from an argument with coach Raymond Domenech. Duverne threw his accreditation badge to the ground after the heated discussion and walked away.
The players then boarded the team bus.
The French team is in disarray after striker Nicolas Anelka was sent home for insulting Domenech, whose tactics and management skills have been called into question.

Oooh I think I am up to date with the #fra NT drama now. Man that is bad shit all around. Winner of 2010 WC drama - France!

OMG I love this video, I love this #worldcup . Let there be happiness for EVERYONE!! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7PFOs3d5Gw

BRA v. CIV

Wow some fancy footwork from both teams. Very nice. But come on #civ !

Lots of nice footballer thighs :)

Oh god they're pronouncing Kaka's name wrong again. Not that difficult to get it right. Only two syllables jfc.

FUCKING BRAZIL THAT WAS A HANDBALL ugh but if refs don't see it...

What the hell did you see that replay? The ref knew it was A handball?
(Argentine coach Maradona criticizes the ref for missing the double handball. Damn right.)

...why does this #worldcup hate me? Fml.

At least one goal yay. Let's cut down the goal differential. One more goal for #civ ?

Wow. Holy fuck. Kaka just got red carded omg. Omg.

Aww Kaka being redcarded means he's not going to be in the #bra v. #por game meaning NO RONALDO/KAKA BFFery!! That is a sad thing :(!

(And here's a gratuitous Vanity Fair pic off half-naked footballers.)

And because all of us who were pulling for the CIV could use some cheering up, here is Drogba with his adorable baby, being so cute your ovaries will scream in agony. :(

more!

POR v. PRK

Man it's raining and #por isn't even in white this time. And seriously why the hell is Cronaldo the captain? This, I do not get.

(RAIN!)

ontd_football: "if you saw ronaldo fall...it was not because of the rain...he just likes going down" mei: "go down on who? I MEAN-- um."

Aaaaand #por scores. In the rain. In Capetown. Thank you for the brilliant commentary, commentators. (So many sexual puns to be made omg!)

"Almost a gift on a silver platter" & "today's sloppy wet conditions". PUNS, PUNS EVERYWHERE TO BE MADE. @ryeonggu Meireles scored.

Ooooh a close one for #prk , almost! Try again. Would be cool if they could equalize at least.

Okay, never mind. #por just scored its second goal. Ehh, whatever, I am not too invested in the outcome of this game.

Oh burn. 3rd goal. Wow. Sooooo hope no one bet on #prk to win this because obviously #por is dominating.

Though, shockingly, most of the #por players on the ground this game are NOT Cristiano Ronaldo. Is this real life? Is this just a fantasy?

Also, can I roll my eyes really hard at the fact that a MISSPELLING of Ronaldo's name is currently trending? Wtf people. Holy fuck 4-0.

I only like destruction when it's a team I support & I don't really care about #por lol. BUT #ESP PLEASE TO BRING THE DESTRUCTION!

damn Ronaldo, I hate you but you have a cute smile. :( fml.

I mean, hot I can deal with b/c I objectify, no problem. But cute smiles actually twinge my heart, not just my libido. :(

Ouch ouch ouch 5-0.

Spain, can we replicate this game? You roleplay #por and Honduras can roleplay #prk for a spanking. (I can't help the sex puns today, why!)

Oh god I need to turn off this game. Ronaldo finally scores, making it 6-0 for #por . Omg, SPAIN, EMULATE PORTUGAL, OKAY?

...7-0. Well, #por will be moving on to knockout stages with a GD like that. Sorry #civ .

...

thundersquall is going to be a doll and keep me updated on Chile v. switzerland, which I'm going to miss because of a work meeting. But I will be watching Spain this afternoon! Expect an update to this post late afternoon/early evening. Hopefully a happy one, jfc.

In anticipation of Spain, here is Iker Casillas! Freshly shaved!

http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0ek60yKdLDedw/x610.jpg IKER SHAVED; HELLO IKER ♥ #esp do not fucking break my heart (again) tomorrow.

More clean-shaven Iker:

In conclusion:

SPAIN, DO WHAT PORTUGAL DID BUT WITH NANDO

I love Nando. ♥♥

...and one last thing before I go.

English NT in suits. The more I learn about individual players, the less I like them, sorry. Except for Stevie. Always except for Stevie. (John Terry specifically can get lost in a cornfield though, thanks. Go away, unless you're going to help England score.)

(more!)

ESP v. HON

at a pub w tv so watching the game. No worries. Will flail via text. :)

Wow Spain is so much taller. Will that help? We'll take any advantage.

Not used to Nando's short brown hair D:

(...the hair is up there, I know you're looking at his ass. Or maybe that's just me.)

Omg so nervous I can't eat. Go go go #esp .

So close Villa T-T stress stress Hah yellow for #hon .

Iker ilu ilu ilu ilu

YAY VILLA VIVA ESPANA

Can't make clever commentary about the #esp game, too busy staring.

Jesus Christ Navas has gorgeous eyes, obvious even midgame.

Omg apparently Torres has his first name tattooed in Elvish on his right forearm lol. Why so geeky and cute?

Good thing he's an amazing footballer and a cutie pie otherwise he'd never get laid. <3

(sorry that is not it; that tattoo says OLLALA, which is the name of his wife. yes kids Nando is 26, married, and has a baby girl! jfc.)

(OOH HERE IT IS. CAN ANYONE READ IT?)

Beautiful, Villa. 2-0 for #esp .

Ow Pique ow ow ow

@limerance foot to the mouth. Accident no foul. Spit up blood.

(this is before the foot to mouth; this is foot to crotch)

(ow. can't believe they sent him back onto the pitch like that. he apparently had to get 3 stitches afterwards and can't talk. D:!!!)

What the hell are you doing Villa you could have gotten a hat trick. How do you miss a penalty kick? Fff.

Torres :( <3 i still love you. ~~Rate~~ Save yourself for the Chile game.

#esp should've gotten that penalty but at least It's a win. Still nervous. Spain needs more goals.

ontd_football: I WANT TO PETITION FIFA TO BAN UNDERARMOUR. WHO IS WITH ME?

OTHER STUFF NOT TWEETED:

LOL evil ref.

From the Switzerland game I'm pretty sure.

OMG THIGHS \o/ EVERYONE LIKES THIGHS

Dear FIFA, this is a petition to ban underarmor. Shirtless guys are a necessity in football. http://bit.ly/czIEG1 Love, ontd_fb & me

ETA 2: This is the current news in football, if you are curious. My explanation to ma belle cherie.

champagne apocalypse: england tries to be as dramatic as france
champagne apocalypse: france does its best to stay on top
champagne apocalypse: italians are posing in their underwear as a distraction
champagne apocalypse: and now you are basically caught up :D with an extra side of italians in their underwear

ETA 3:

小宋。: omg lol
champagne apocalypse: SO CUTE
小宋。: loooool
champagne apocalypse: my friend: good thing he's cute otherwise he'd never get laid
小宋。: LOOOL
小宋。: this is probably true
champagne apocalypse: me: c'mon he's a famous footballer, he'd get laid even if he were ugly
champagne apocalypse: her: speaking of which, crouch (from the eng nt) once gave an interview. he was asked what he'd be if he weren't a footballer. he said "a virgin."
小宋。: SCREAM
小宋。: LOLOLOL

intomorning: apparently there's this player on the spanish team (i forget who), but apparently when he was young, he was always on time to practice, v. driven, etc.
intomorning and then one time he was late, and the coach found out it was b/c he was hanging out w/ his friends and some girls
intomorning: and the coach was like, ":O you were that b/c of THAT?
intomorning: "was it worth it?"
intomorning: and the player was like, "yes" and then he ended marrying the girl that he had met!!
meiface: awwwwwww that is so cute
meiface: so cute! \o/

YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO MARRY ME I DON'T EVEN CARE

THIS IS MY WORLD CUP TEAM FOREVER

that aside, i am whiny enough to be all HA HA at kaka's red card

also i bet on spain but i am kind of hoping honduras wins I DON'T KNOW MEI WHY DO I HATE SPAIN? :( THEY HAVE NICE PLAYERS :(

nkkkk

talk to me about wc

i just went to the kitchenette on the other side of my floor and watched the 15 min before halftime. apparently SUI got a man redcarded already? chile is trying to score like every two minutes BUT MY MAN BENAGLIO IS KEEPING THEM DOWN GOD HE IS SO HOT IN ACTION he is like a sexier zquinto

Ronaldo: You're a rubbish footballer.

Taylor: At least I'm not ugly.

Ronaldo: But you're a rubbish footballer.

Taylor: I know, but you're still ugly.

LOLOLOL DID YOU KNOW THIS

AUGH I JUST WATCHED THE LAST HALF HOUR FUCKING CHILE AUGHHHHH
RUINING SWITZERLAND'S RECORD OF NOT CONCEDING A GOAL THEY BEAT FRANCE'S RECORD TODAY!!!!!! THEY HADN'T LET A GOAL IN FOR LIKE FIVE GAMES CLEARLY BECAUSE BENAGLIO and their defence IS AMAZING

but benaglio was SO FAR FROM THE GOAL WHEN FUCKING GONALEZ SCORED OMG I WAS LIKE OMG ARRGH GOOD PLAY CHILE, FUCKING GOAL DIVERSIVE PLAY >:((((((((

BUT OMG MEI :( THEY WERE SO CLOSE TO TYING OMG :( ziegler I THINK IT WAS ZIEGLER HE HAD SUCH A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY AND THE CHILE DEFENCE WAS NO WHERE AND THE GOALIE WAS ON HIS FACE AND HE AIMS JUST TOO FAR TO THE RIGHT

AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH

also benaglio/nkufo loveline forever

fuck this i'm going shopping

IKER CASILLAS MAKES ME WIBBLE EACH TIME I SEE HIM AND I'M NOT EVEN A SPAIN SUPPORTER, JFC. Ever since Fernando Torres retired, the Italy team has one less hottie for me ;___; But Daniele De Rossi is UNF, I have no complaints.

I cannot stand Drogba but omg his baby ;____; *presses his face all over, omg*

JOHN TERRY JUST NEEDS TO GO AWAY FOREVER, JFC.

MEI I BOUGHT AN EXCRUCIATINGLY EXPENSIVE BLAZER I MAY RETURN IT

how can you not like drogba he stopped a war!!

He plays for Chelsea okay :| And he can score goals, but he'd also be a really good theatre actor. Or an Olympic diver. :3

omg >:( he can go down around me anyday >:(

preferably in front of me

DYING RIGHT NOW :'DDDDDDD

EXCRUCIATINGLY EXPENSIVE sounds rather painful. Pics! Then...return it unless you foresee yourself having a lot of opportunities to wear a blazer around? They do spiff outfits up nicely but do you already have one?

lmfao I made this joke about Ronaldo and the Portugal game in the rain where announcers are like AND RONALDO GOES DOWN and I'm like OH IS THAT SO~~~? Oh whom? >:D

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME UPDATED FOR THE CHILE V. SUISSE GAME. It makes me sad that I've missed the majority of both Chile matches though (I only caught the end of the Chile v. Honduras game) so now I'm really uncertain of how well they play, or just how they play in general. ): Spain must win against them!

I AGREE JOHN TERRY SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN URGH. Though I guess he's allowed up if he will score for England. Fucking England, Spain is my number one now. >:(

EVERYONE SHOULD LOVE IKER OMG IKER IKER IKER CASILLAS I LOVE HIM. I love that he didn't have to do much of anything this game! ♥ (Though Spain should've scored more than they did. Still!)

Aww I hear Drogba's a douche on the field but c'mon HE STOPPED A WAR off the field! And actually he's the only CIV player who was friendly towards all the Brazilian players yesterday. He's not so bad. Plus he's super adorable with his baby. :D :D :D

I'M SORRY FOR THE RAGE AND THE LOSS. This is what it felt like for Spain to lose last week. :( Except even worse because they were the heavy favorites, sigh.

It sucks when a team you love gets close but still loses! And red card, very rough. @_@ They play Honduras next, maybe they will win? As a Spain supporter, I think I want them to draw, sorry...

hahahah yes I've seen this mocked on ontd_football! :DDD

lmao Ronaldo. I hate that he has such a cute smile. :( It gets me worse than his hot bod. Fuck!

They will need a miracle to make it through though. :( Brazil's already guaranteed so if CIV manages to beat NK and Brazil beats Portugal, both CIV & POR will have 4 pts. That's when the Goal Differential will be calculated and Portugal's at +7 after today's game and CIV is at -2. So...depending on how many goals Portugal loses by (I'd guess 1 or 2, possibly 3 max, which would reduce their +7 to +4), CIV would still need to score 6 goals against NK.

Which is, as evidenced today, not impossible... So I guess you need to pull for Brazil beating Portugal by as many goals as possible, and CIV beating NK by as many goals as possible.

@_@ It's rough. I wanted the CIV to move on too.

You shouldn't be! You want Brazil to be as strong as possible to defeat Portugal to better CIV'ss chances.

Oh you guys. :( It's like when an Australian fan was cheering Serbia for defeating Germany for revenge against Germany's 4-0 win against Australia. But Serbia winning meant that they became 2nd in the rankings, with Germany still on top, and that lowered Australia's chances of moving on... Argh, permutations.

At least Group C's cut-and-dry for me. England needs to defeat Slovenia, full stop. USA needs to defeat Algeria, full stop. D:

/TL;DR ABOUT FOOTBALL STATISTICS, WHEN DID I GET LIKE THIS ALSKGHFJ

IT WAS A VERY NICE BLAZER it looked rly great on me if i do say so myself, but we exchanged it cause it would be hard to pair with anything but black, it was a silvery-greyish-green with pinstripes @_@ NOW I HAVE A PRETTY BLACK SKIRT AND A HOT WHITE DRESS

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

also my mom was there to justify my purchases, yay

SOB :( it's ok, i am more surprised and vaguely amused by my own gut reactions. WHEN DID I GET SO INVESTED

they are hot and offensive >:O

EVENTUALLY

omg @____________________@ i'm so glad i have people like you to think about this for me, so i can just be like WILL MY BABIES GET IN? and you will do the math and tell me

........;_;

thank you, that has informed me greatly about how they will play against Spain, lol.

WAITS FOREVER GOD

the math is sad. :(

ahaha I no longer let my parents approve of what I buy or wear. Our tastes diverge.

PAINT YOUR NAILS I didn't go buy nail polish today because I realized it is so frivolous and while that would be fun, moneyyyyy is kind of important atm. ): Before my loans for the fall semester kick in, anyway.

but now there's drama about whether or not they were really all together! There have been reports of the younger members going to the coach by themselves later and apologizing or crying because they felt sort of pressured into joining in the boycott. So who knows? Drama everywhere.

i heard that the prk/por game was the first international game that north korea showed on public television back in the good ol' homeland.

Oh snap. Ouch. I feel even worse for the PRK NT now. /wince

I'm sorry... did somebody say 'Elvish'?

HAHAHA WHY DOES THIS EXIST.

STILL HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THE PICTURES (and I really am praying my dad recorded Spain's game, oh my fucking god T_______T) but OH MEI having read the GameCast (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/gamecast?id=264075&cc=4716&ver=global) on ESPN's website I really want to write Torres angsty post-injury fic now ): OH BB. I will make LOTR references! They will abound! Also T___________T why are there so many half-naked men in your post I feel so skeevy looking at them at work.

ALDKJAGLSDKJLGJSLDJAJSLDGJ *LAUGHING ON THE FLOOR*

well it does sort of inform us about how spain MIGHT play except idk what bosque is thinking or doing or asdlafkdfjdkgjskdlj >((((( also i wish for torres to be fit again.

OMG where did Torres' cute floppy blonde hair go??? DDDD: But still cute regardless.

DAMN England, you may be disappointing at football, but not in fashion sense. 3-piece suits, yummmm...

Refs are totally ruining this World Cup. Brazil v. Portugal is going to be so much less interesting...but still attractive (sorryIwatchforRonaldo'shotness) :|

<3 your posts as always! I'm excited for tomorrow, USA, LET'S FIGHTING!

me too! I also wish for him to be blond again, I cannot lie...

Mishy I must go update my icons with more Spain - Nando and Iker at the very least! Omg please do write fic about Torres, I love him. Why did Xabi have to leave? I could've shipped Stevie/Xabi, but now he will be nothing more than the ex who causes everyone to angst. Must make a post celebrating the awesomeness of Gerrando eventually.

THIS WAS THE MOST CLOTHED FOOTBALL POST I'VE MADE IN AGES, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

He is still cute! But I do miss the blond - short I am okay with but omg the blond, come back. ;~; Though he still has his floppy blond hair in the videos I"ll be posting later that are basically all WC promos and just adorable football flailings. FML, I really think football may be my new fandom... At least for now.

Seriously, I sort of ogled the three-piece suits happily.

(I watch for Ronaldo's shirtlessnes... Which needs to happen more often. WHY THE UNDERARMOR, PEOPLE. Show skin or go home!)

haha I forgot it was the 22nd for you already because I just woke up and was like, what, the USA's not playing today. BUT THEY ARE PLAYING TOMORROW, YES. How stressful tomorrow will be.

What the hell, man, they just red-carded Gourcuff. Do I even want to watch this match anymore? =\

I just flipped out over that. Honestly I was not pulling for France because it would be cool for SA to win & represent, but...Yoann was the only one I didn't dislike on the dramatic French team, and he is pretty, and JFC HE DIDN'T DESERVE A STRAIGHT REDCARD. At very most that was yellow, but it wasn't even intentional... ffff.

watching fra v. rsa, rsa scored so 1-0 but WHAT THE FUCK YOANN GOURCUFF JUST GOT STRAGIHT REDCARDED. He didn't deserve it wtf the refs continue to be crazy. At most it was a yellow but alskdhfjd. Fuck. France is down to 10 men and well, I honestly was not loving them anyway for their drama, but Gourcuff was not involved in that and he was pretty and also bullied(?) asldkghfj argh.

meiface: rsa 2-0 fra, france playing w/ 10 men after an insane straight red card that shold've been a yellow at most

meiface: uru 1-0 mex, with one uruguay player getting an elbow to the head that has him bleeding profusely
meiface: but that got no card

halftime for both games.

HI. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THIS POST MAKES ME HAPPY. :D

I LIKE THAT THIS POST MAKES YOU HAPPY. I also like that we both are very \o/ about football right now. Yay!
