GREAT!!!!!

I'd just like to be the first to say: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

You see, if France had treated Senegal like they did some of their other former colonies, like Vietnam or Algeria, this might've never had happened.

Great game too

this is a newsflash ??? what happened to the newsflash I sent in yesteray about the rescue chopter crashing....it even had video !! [/complaining]

and to those Brits....it's S-O-C-C-E-R

muahahahaha without Zidane, France are nothing! Just like Ireland without Keane!!!! oh no... wait that's a bad thing. Crap.

How about....

muahahahahah this is obviously the year of the African nations! They will destroy all the oposition before them in every group!!!!!! ack. Thats not too good either.

Watch out for Senegal and Nigeria..

Oh, there is way too much detail on this page, I'll be reading it for hours.

Futball!!!!

and to those Brits....it's S-O-C-C-E-R

No, its F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L! Only in the USA is it called soccer

I have no idea where Senegal is. In fact, I don't believe I have ever heard of such a country before. Yet I got an A in World Geography class back in school. I'm a walking billboard for public schooling.

Senegal played really well, they definitely deserved the win... And the Senegalese guy that scored, I love his name: Bouba Diop !

Papa Bouba Diop

Klaatu Barada Nikto

Witch sport has it´s feet on the ball most of the time? What you people like should really be called handball!

Vegasj

ill take it that you dont follow soccer (or football to the rest of the world). helicopters fall out of the sky all the time... senegal just does not beat france. its senegal, for christsake! one of their players admitted stealing a necklace in korea!

Yay for Senegal! Yay!

Mr. Bouba Diop -

Witch sport..
thats a good one

"Only in the USA is it called soccer"

Just so happens that the USA is the only country that matters, so it's "soccer."

ha ha

Arg to whoever beat me to submitting this.

SLAYERSWINE

they dont really 'seed' the groups but france was ranked #1 by fifa.

What's the "World Cup"?

There goes my pool.

Viva la Senegal.

I got my money on Italy or Argentina (if they can make it our of the Death Group alive)

And in other news - Americans could give a rats ass about soccer.
God I wish the NFL season were longer.

Good for Sengal...

americans do, citizens of the usa don't :)

ha-Haa! By Senegal. For shame...

GooberMcFly

its the cup that the stanley cup losers get. its smaller, gold, and has a soccerball on it for some reason.

Ahem.....to any chair-throwing, rubber-bullet-dodging futbol fans out there, I have a question. What's up with the stripping off of the shirt after someone scores a (yawn) goal? Esplain pleeze Lucy.

Merde!

Being the most popular sport in the world I think it deserves to be called football. Maybe in the US and Oz (where I'm from) it can be called Soccer. But it definately the worlds game.

Most obvious headline ever!

To reiterate: Yay for Senegal! Yay!

Bigpeeler: Not everyone does it, only people who aren't acrobatic and cannot dance... those strip...

So, who's going to the pub at 7:30am tomorrow to watch Ireland???

It's ALWAYS been called football in most countries, except for a little while in England(where it was supposedly invented).

Honestly, it makes more sense to call it Football instead of Soccer. What the fark does Soccer mean?

And it deserves more the name, since your American Football barely involves connecting the foot with a ball. They should call your sport "Gridiron" or "Smash" or something.

But don't worry, if you don't want to change right now, it's ok. In a few generations, when the US is full of mexican immigrants, that will change. :D

Hlx -- gonna do my best!!

Regarding soccer fans, one word: Hillsborough.

TheOsiris:

I submitted the same link, albeit too late, but my headline said that France can't surrender yet. Not as obvious.

This is a Senegal. Also known as the 'Nipple of Africa'

Ireland and Cameroon tomorrow. Go Cameroon.

They should call your sport "Gridiron" or "Smash" or something

Or "Commercial Break".

I demend Fark uses Mondial instead of "World Cup"!

It's a damned shame that Greenpeace has no team in the World Cup. They'd easily win against France (as always).

And there was much rejoicing...

1-0...and this is supposedly a riveting, entertaining game to watch? I actually watched this game (at 0700 my time) just because I do realize everyone else in the world is nuts about it, but I can't figure out why. Maybe they have strippers and free beer at the games or something.

And someone tell me WTF that "magic spray" crap is! You know, it's the stuff they spray on people who take dives in the game, supposedly fixes any injury in soccer! And what's up with hauling people off on stretchers, only to have them come back into the game 10 minutes later? That's real manly, man!

What about it? That was horrible what happened there
