[moof]

'llllll

 

[pauldh]

You know, I am majorly dissappointed in him. Absolutely nothing that could be said justifies that lame yet extremely well executed headbutt. 8O Talk about going out in (lack of) style. :roll:

 

[Vinny]

Italy winning and graphics cards are related... how?

 

[moof]

because if Italy made graphics cards they would win to.

 

[pauldh]

Um it's the World Cup dude, ease up. Gotta have some fun. If it bugs ya, go read one of the ten 7900GT vs. X1800XT threads.

 

[mechluke]

Guys i'm really disappointed by Zidane.What a way to end your career huh?But i wonder what on earth did the italian say to him that made him react this way?

 

[warblade24]

french suks their nothing but pu55sies and speaking of pu55ies i know some guy called zidane

 

[prozac26]

I watched the game. The Zidane headbud was funny.

BUT,
HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS RELATE TO GRAPHIC CARDS??????

 

[mesarectifier]

I wanted France to win.

Zidane's headbutt reminded me of Tim the Toolman Taylor for some reason.

 

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

because if Italy made graphics cards they would win to.

If Italy made graphics cards, they'd whine and crash to 2D mode for no apparent reason, but the minute you went to press the restart button they'd be up and running again no problem as if nothing happened. :twisted:

Sheesh, Why do you guys keep going OT and bring up graphics cards in this thread? :tongue:

A Billion people watched the game, and a few of them happen to possibly only visit the GPU forums these days(not to mention the others forums are too foul for my tastes). Anyway, I was thrilled to see a current important event in this tiring "which is better" forum. There are plenty of other heavily moderated GPU forums out there, I for one am thrilled Tom's allows some fun.

:lol: That is hilarious. Yeah, I was explaining the dives to my young son after he said, what happened, how did that hurt him. It's an art all right, a pathetic art. Not that Hockey players don't throw theri arms up to get calls too, but the sheer anguish that immediately hits the faces of these world class soccer players, makes you think they are wusy's. (no offense intended down under).

 

[pauldh]

Hey chump, could ya edit/delete your post before someone quotes ya. We don't need that talk here.
Sticking to the topic :twisted: , If anything the French outplayed Italy IMO, and although I was routing for Italy, I've watched the French play some awesome games.

 

[JonathanDeane]

I watched part of it it was a good game the goal where it bounced in and out was cool

 

[prozac26]

No soccer game should be decided by penelty kicks. It should be extra time until someone scores the Golden Goal.

 

[Synergy6]

Ahem, yes, I'm sure we'll get exciting football after players have been out for 3+ hours.

As for the topic. Zidane... how far can I OC him? Do Intel do an Extreme version? Can I box him up, take him home and volt mod him?

Yeah, but those are mainly Europeans, having learned it from Soccer obviously. :twisted:

Tell me this kind of dedication and gamesmanship would happen in Soccer;

Smyth get 3 teeth knocked out by a puck to the face, along with facial fracture, and he get stitched up and back out there to assist the game winning goal. Beckham get a little sprain and he's gone along with the hope of England, since n one else seems to be able to score a penalty kick, heck Canadian hargraves scored on what was almost a blocked kick.

I like to watch the WorldCup of Soccer, for the 'battle of the world' aspect. which is why I also watch WorldCup Rugby and Cricket (and have played all three at a rep level for school).
But let's not kid ourselves into thinking the game is anywhere near the level of respect it had in the Pelé era.
Diving and 0-0 shootouts are killing the game IMO.

Thankfully the final wasn't a 0-0 shootout.
The game was good with good-bad parts to it like anything else. Still hate that the very final is decided on kicks though.

It's better than watching penelty kicks decide the best sporting event in the history of mankind.

 

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

Agreed!

 

[prozac26]

Thank you Ape.

 

[HotSauce]

Well I don't pay much attention to Zidane, but I play football and I hit and get hit and Zidane looked like he barely hit the guy. TO my standards the Italian was a whimp and the Frenchies looked tougher throughout the game, but I was going for Italy because France kicked out my beloved south american team

 

[pauldh]

Yup, I totally agree with you and Grape. Penalty shots are exciting to watch, but the players deserve to play it out until the deciding goal.

Heh... I just realized that there aren't any general discussion (off-topic) forums here.:lol:

Oh well, carry on then. I don't like either team, but Italy makes awesome cars so yay for them.8)

 

[DaBigHurt]

I live 15 min. away from Little Italy in Southern Manhattan in NYC, And this town is going nuts. The Local Police had to come and shut down the Big Screen Showing because people were hanging from Apartment building windows hoping to catch the game, which makes me wonder: If they can afford an apartment in SoHo NYC, wouldnt they be able to have cable? Anyway, too bad Zidane did what he did, I think That was the difference in the game. Lets not forget he missed that second Goal by inches.
Its said that South Africa 2010 will be the best World Cup in History. Lets see what happens..
