World Cup 2010

I thought about making it "shport" in general, but I really don't care about the others.

We're playing a South African club team on Monday - who are looking to "make their mark on England". Best keep Rooney on the bench then Fabio!!

Ref for the England v USA game has been announced, we've got a Brazilian who comes with an interesting reputation -
RIO DE JANEIRO - THE Brazilian referee headed to the World Cup is being heavily criticised at home after a poor outing in a domestic league match.

Carlos Eugenio Simon is being accused by local media of missing several key calls in Vasco's 1-1 draw against Botafogo over the weekend, and both coaches are complaining about the referee's poor performance.

It was Simon's last match before travelling to South Africa to officiate matches at his second World Cup.

Simon was suspended last year by the Brazilian football confederation for a series of mistakes, the last one a missed call in a decisive league match which helped decide the title.

Simon's linesmen in Sunday's match were also criticised. They also will travel to officiate at the World Cup

I'm guessing he won't be carrying around a can of spray paint to mark penalty lines like they do in the Mexican league now. I'd love to see that at the FIFA level.

he has a reputation for mistakes yet makes it to the world cup... sounds like he has friends high up.

the world cup is annoying when the refs are overly involved, the us and england play physical soccer, this could get cardy. suck.

At the same time it has the serious potential to turn into a free-for-all.

Nani's bit the dust - injured a collar bone in training.

Could be a pretty handy "I missed the World Cup through injury" World Superstar XI at this rate :?

I'll take a gander at the database. I guess I really should get a report together to tell me who is active and who isn't. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow since I'm really not working anymore.

True, although that's a double whammy for Americans, as it's 39% American owned and 2/3rds of their employees are American. And though it's traded on the FTSE, chances are, if you have a 401K, it's probably partially invested in them (as a top FTSE 100 company).

Ja"Obama really shouldn't be calling them British Petroleum, as they haven't been that in over 10 years...although it's convenient to pick on someone else when elections are coming up"mes


-ps I'm not defending BP. Not at all. They deserve to rot, IMO.
