World Cup Thread
 

I came.

what games did you get?

2 tickets each for:

Australia vs Germany
Australia vs Serbia
Denmark v Netherlands
Denmark v Cameroon
Denmark v Japan
Brazil v Ivory Coast
Spain v Chile
Spain v Honduras
Argentina v Greece
France v Mexico

R16 final (group E / F, prob Netherlands or Italy)
Quarter final (E/F/G/H)
Semi final (E/F/G/H - decent chance of being Spain v Brazil)

Fortunately/unfortunately all of my applications were successful. I don't really want all of these, it will be too difficult to get around to all the stadiums (basically would require travelling nearly every day and FIFA/SA haven't organised the transport very well). I might try to sell a couple of the more awkward ones. They are all Category 2, except a couple are Category 3.

If anyone is up for some flipping/other betting I will almost certainly give you action.

Australia vs Germany
Australia vs Serbia
Brazil v Ivory Coast
Spain v Chile
Argentina v Greece
France v Mexico

Those are some solid games there.

yeah, sucks to be you:cheers:


In the match play, I take it that the Australia games on required. Going with that parameter, it is tough because you then have to miss the Netherlands/Denmark game on the 14th some 300 miles away and the Argentina game on the 22 again about 300 miles away. You should be able to unload those tickets readily. I imagine you are going to the two Spain games, the Brazil/Ivory Coast game (potentially one of the best in the group stages) and probably Mexico/France?

Plus all the knockout stage games.


I am completely jealous, enjoy!

I think I'll sell the Arg v Greece tickets and maybe France v Mexico

Dude...

That Messi guy isn't worth watching is he?

It's just rough that you are turning down 2 games that are both between 2 Top-20 FIFA ranked teams. And, it's not like you're really sacrificing a whole lot considering the other games you are going to...

Is there enough interest to do a forum bracket contest?

I'm up for it.

The US is based in Petoria, so when you are there wish them luck for me!

I want to see Brazil Vs Ivory cost match.
But due to crisis of ticket my dream will not become true.

$10 winner take all blind draw pool at work and I run goot and draw Argentina.

So much for national pride. Show me the money!!! :donkey

Amazing job by the USA to get a 1-1 draw against England. Probably the worst goalie blunder by the English guy I've ever seen.

The gf and I are going to our first match of the tourney, AUSTRALIA v Germany tomorrow night here in Durban. Go Cahill!!!!!!!!!!

The guy's lucky he doesn't live in Colombia.

tough loss today Sjay. The straight Red to Cahill was total bullshit.

Not for nothin' (as we say in Rhode Island) but having a guy from Mali ref a World Cup game is like having High School refs work the NBA finals. :mad:

Thankfully, England is playing with no intensity. :twocents:

It has been one of the best World Cups so far since 1978.
holland been doing great and i dont care what people say about the type of play. Its all about the win.

Must admit that the Cape Town Stadium looks better then when i was last there in 2009.
