MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
**** me
Good one NZ
How gutted must Slovakia be - last minute of OT
Dang - missed the match as I was trying to get a load of work done before the next game. Sods law. Oh well.
I started off wanting NZ to lose, but I am glad they equalized for some reason. Seemed to play well.
'Kin awesome result. I let the kids stay up late to watch it so no school for them in the morning (it's 0130 here in NZ).
More proof that football is rapidly starting to overtake eggball as the national sport (at least in Wellington anyway)
And the 3pm match *should* be a cracker. Looking forward to that one. š

Good one - big celebrations right now then I imagine?
certainly didn't expect that- thought we were in for in for another hiding today. š
Think we did well considering the calibre of players, but definitely not the greatest of matches.
big celebrations right now then I imagine?
Unfortunately I'm stuck at home with the kids so not that big for us.
TBH I was thinking 1-0 was gonna be a *good* defeat, then that bloke started running around on the left, ignored the overlapping player out wide and I thought he had wasted any last chance they had.
Then he crosses in right footed making it nigh on impossible for anyone to get a head on it....
Fair play, good one.
That last try was a cracker... I doubt there are too many kiwis staying up in NZ watching the game...

I think that's probably stretching it!!
Try? š
From the glimpses I have seen of the Portugal/Ivory Coast match it is looking very good too - Ronaldo looks on fire.

....bit slow to be honest. One shot and a couple of 'interesting' tackles and that is about it.
Fair enough - I must have timed my switches to that tab on my screen to perfection then š
Maybe our 1 - 1 result isnt looking quite so disastrous right now given that there are quite a few draws elsewhere? This could change in the next minute or so tho!

How wrong you were...it's been the dreariest first round of the World Cup (a notoriously dreary round of football anyway) I can remember š
Yeah - only 20 goals scored all tournament so far. 18 of those were by Germany.

I did say 'should'. š„
Ohh - good save from the Swiss Cheeses
Ohh then a good save from the Spanish Tourist Botherers
Some tasty passing from the Spainish
Ha ha!
Come on you yodelling holey cheesed watch making cuckoo clock making pacifists
Come on you yodelling holey cheesed watch making cuckoo clock making pacifists
LOVL!
I bog off to take a phone call then come back to that score - what happened??????????????
The yodelling holey cheesed watch making cuckoo clock making pacifists heard you!
WTF - my head is spinning watching that goal - how did it go in?????
Well at least the Spanish have Torres' nice new hair cut to keep them happy š
How did the keeper stay on the pitch for that challenge??
Good lord! Off the post. The Spanish have to score soon surely?
Not getting to see much of this - I guess this is one to catch on the highlights programme later?
**** me - Swizzers have hit the post!
Is it just me or are the VUVU thingies quieter? I can actually hear the crowd!
OMG - it must be a killer being either Spanish or Swiss!! Off the bar again - end to end. Mental
I was wondering about the noise too. It's quieter on Brazilian tv too.
Today is a bank holiday over here - maybe the vuvu's are all at home having a BBQ
Cracking game though!
Yep, that's around the right balance between Vuvus and crowd for me š
Swissers should be two up. They're looking dangerous on the break.
**** that was nearly an oggy!
I'd comfort that distraught SeƱorita in the crowd
Everytime the ball comes down the Swiss end they have 9 players in the box defending. Seems to be working for them.

+1 8)
Strange how little time the Spanish spend rolling around when they're chasing the game.
I'd comfort her mum šÆ
I'd comfort her mum
I'd comfort them both, at the same time. š
She looked a bit on the chubby side to me š
Five minutes???!!!
Maybe different SeƱoritas.
On another point - MORE COWBELL!
Spain looking pretty frustrated now š
šÆ
My streaming is lagging behind wherever you are watching it Darcy
Thats it! Well done cheese boys
woo and indeed hoo!
Well well
Well done the Cheeses!

Was referring to the extra time dude 8)
šÆ
That's a turn up for the book and has put the cat amongst the cheese
oooh - that means it could be Brazil v Spain in the last 16 - a bit earlier than expected.
Great here in the office, really quiet apart from the sound of me and the cubans laughing š
i have switzerland in the draw at work should I get excited?
i have switzerland in the draw at work should I get excited?
No. And I have them in our sweep too.

I would go and put a deposit on a yacht.
....hmmm....is that a double entendre i spy?
That ref really wanted Spain to win. He was giving them a lot of chances in the last 15 mins.
Good on the Swiss
It has put the cuckoo amongst the pigeons š
it's on and I'm leaving š
Goooooaaal! What a shot, what a deflection!
What a great first half. Beautiful fitba skills from Argentina, freak chance well taken to put things on edge at halftime. Proper world cup š
WTF - amazing keeping at both ends.
Has someone fed this lot some speed? šÆ
Seems the French have surrendered again š
Well, well, well. Certainly having some twists and turns, this WC.
š
This could end up with 8 a side but as long as the germans don't run away with it!
Seen score when my film finished, now I have no interest in football but damn!
Seen match last night at work too as colleague was watching it, looks like my sweep stake team have a chance. Uruguay.
Germany one man and one goal down. Could be another WC upset.
We can always hope š
Saying that, we could end up meeting them in the next round if they finish runners-up in their group...
yes you got feel sorry for the germans š man sent off and they missed a penalty
Spanish ref and poor
HA HA!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The WC is warming up nicely
You never win anything with kids š
please don't start gloating at the French, germans, etc. until after half nine tonight.
We are allowed to gloat about Germany missing a penalty!

Why not - always best to get the first punch in š
Ohhh, hit the bar!
As fun as it is watching the Germans losing it could have a major impact on the first knock-out game.
