Anyone see the Hungary v Italy U 20 World Cup 1/4 final this morning on SKY? Great to see those cheating acting diving Italians eliminated. What a game!! I think it is time FIFA started banning countries that persist in diving and acting. How many times do we see an player fall as if picked off by a sniper, clutching his face only to see the replay where nothing happened? Good riddance Italy, the tournament will be better without you.
Funny how the Catholic countries, except Ireland, are the worst cheats in football! |

In the last two real World Cups we had Sth Korea, Brasil, Turkey, Germany, Italy, France,and Portugal reaching the semi finals. Favourites like Spain, Holland and Argentina failed. A team like Sth Korea eliminated Spain and Italy.
That will NEVER happen in a pathetic rugby world cup ( ha ha I always laugh when rugbys tournament is farcically called a WC ). Football is global and rugby never will be.
Rugby can only dream of footballs global appeal. |

| the only difffeence between the Rugby World Cup and the Football World Cup is the amount of countries that take part as just like the rugby world cup there has only been a few winners 4 for rugby and 7 for soccer |

| Yes at least people you may learn in reality that football is the world game while rugby maybe only won by say 4-5 countries at the most. |

With our other sports teams trying to win "World Cups" that are no more than three/four/five nation tournaments that most of the world don't care about, the NZ football team have two tough games against the higher ranked team from Bahrain to qualify for a REAL World Cup.
I am not a fan of the way NZ usually play but I will be hoping that they play well with no silly mistakes and get a result on Sunday morning.
Of course, due to the popularity of football, NZ will never win the Football World Cup but hopefully they can at least qualify. The NZRFU will be praying that NZ lose to Bahrain, because of the threat football is to the slow boring game of rugby in NZ.
Football will always be a winner whether or not NZ qualify. |
