    that goal by SA was a seed.

    why does it seem like all of the african nations wear green and yellow?

    Good question, probably has something to do with tribal colors.

    Or it could be the some of the main colors seen in the continent of Africa green for the Central Africa's rain forest and yellow/orange for the desert sands of the Sahara.

    A continent and countries i want to visit sometime in my life.

    Seriously! A good friend of mine just got back from a nursing trip in Ghana, her bf is from SA, a couple customers that come into my store are from Kenya, and one of my favourite profs specializes in African issues and has been there a bunch of times... apart from the violence and the epidemic, Africa sounds like an awesome place. I'd love to go

    Yeah.
    I wonder if its a result of losing the benefit of the doubt.
    You know like teams that keep diving and shit, the refs don't like being made fools of...

    not saying that thats an excuse
    Sorry guys but that goal was way offside.

  • what do you all think about these horns the south african fans like to blow on the entire game??? it's like a soccer game in the middle of a giant bee hive.
    Stunned by my own reflection, it's looking back sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again. Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down.

    Are FIFA rules different than the rest of the world?? The South Africans had a defender on their goal line when the pass was made. How could that possibly be offside?

    Didn't the keeper come out, I was in a meeting at the time but from what I understand the keeper came out and there was only one person behind him.

    Oh maybe. I'll watch the highlights at home with audio. I might have missed that.

    Only in soccer can 0-0 and 1-1 games be considered good games. :D

    For some reason I usually find games that involve France boring. Is it just me?
