hutch are you fb friends with smackie

Nope.

2006 WC avg goals per first 16 games: 2.5625
2010                    per first 16 games: 1.5625


This is dramatic.

It will be interesting to observe what Brazil and Spain, the two favorites, are able to muster.

Spain looked impressive!!!!

srsly?

on the off chance that wasn't facetious: yeah, their passing game is top-notch but passes don't score goals.  they showed how easily they are handcuffed by a solid defense paired with that damn ball-with-wings.  keep them away from the goal and they'll pass themselves into oblivion. 

the real disaster for spain is that this game happened so early.  now chile and honduras know what to do.

You're so American.

It's not about the goals scored, it's about the excitement generated.

But the passing game is just as exciting as goalscoring, right?

are you getting forced into watching sports in the middle of a work day again

[blinkboy]

look at that, 11 goals in the last 3 games!  maybe match 2 for each team will be much more high scoring!

[smakawhat]

This happens every friggin tournament..

the grass is no good, the ball sucks, it's too loud, I can't communicate, there's not enough people in the stands, I can't score ... whine whine whine whine...

shut up and play football.

crossing fingers for tomorrow!

I'm American, but my parents are both Salvadoreans.

I do work in insurance, and white women are attracted to me and my tan. So... I do this too.
