Congrats to Spain.

Paul the F'ing Octopus was DEAD ON! :eek: I wonder how much that octopus is worth!

Picked Spain: YouTube - Final bet: Oracle Paul the Octopus picks Spain over Netherlands to win World Cup

Picked Germany (3rd place): YouTube - Don't wanna be sushi: Paul the Octopus predicts Germany win over Uruguay

Jabulani + Vuvuzelas + horrible Refs + host nation failure + boring/unepic final = mediocre World Cup

I agree somewhat, for some reason this world cup didnt seem as competitive as years past, I kinda felt a bit disconnected.

repping today

I'm looking for a Forlan shirt actually lol

I'm a bit bored but I'm curious who everyone would put together for their All World Cup XI, who are some players that surprised you and who disappointed?

Casillas
Maicon-Pique-Friedrich-D.Alves

Mueller-Xavi-Ozil-Schweiny

Villa-Forlan

Iniesta, while a great player, dives about entirely too much, he could take a lesson from Xavi, out of anyone on the spanish roster, I respect that guy the most, he doesnt dive, NEVER loses posession and plays the game honestly.

^ exactly

damning to all hell typical soccer formations:

Stekelenburg

Lahm - Kjaer - Puyol - D. Alves

Schweinsteiger

Honda - Sneijder

Xavi

Villa - Forlan

Yes, I just put Schweiny in a defensive midfielder position like a dumbass. and yes, 4-1-2-1-2 is a ridiculous formation. but those are the players that really struck me as having really good tournaments, and that was really the best way i could fit them all in.

and yes, japan didn't go very far, but keisuke honda has been nothing short of brilliant this entire tournament...although he did act as a striker instead of a midfielder.

if fabregas was a starter he'd be in there for sure though :facepalm:

I know its a little late, but I thought these posters around NYC were pretty awesome. Put them all together alphabetically and made them my desktop background.

Do you have the posters in high res?

Sorry to prove you right...but thats his position.... lol :icon18:

for some reason i keep thinking schweinsteiger is a damned attacking midfielder :facepalm:

His role is CDM....but he comes up to attack. He is all over lol. He is a Xavi.

I got them from this site:
