+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted July 10, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted July 10, 2010 With the World Cup almost behind us it's time to summarise and rate the World Cup. In my opinion we got to see a good World Cup this year, with several really good matches. Bad aspects of it: F'ing vuvuzelas, controversial referee decisions tainting it, the octopus being right when I wished it had been wrong. ;) Overall I'd rate it 8/10.

Darth Laidher Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I give it a 3, the diving,the refs and the ball ruined it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kralik Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 9/10 if Holland wins ... -1 for vuvuzelas 7/10 if Spain wins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostaz Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 6 The bad: The ball Vuvuzelas Refereeing Disappointing performances France and England The Finalists Diving Underwhelming Brazil once again Seeing Suarez made a national hero Tevez The good: Germany's football Beautiful Stadiums Ghana Netherlands may finally win Diego Forlan Ozil Just off the top of my head.

Xypro Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 8/10 its lucky that Africa got a chance to hold the WC 2010, but they did it right in many ways. The match ups were really good and most of the big teams went home for a chance to let the underdogs battle it out. The Vuvuzelas are a big distraction and f'ing annoying but there apart of the culture. The ball was nice, but is not a big part of the game for me. A great WC no doubt, but Brazil will hold a better one hopefully. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamminium Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 The bad refs kind of ruined it for me. Still a good tournament. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenBeard Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 8. Good world cup overall, with good games and stuff. Everyone expects a World Cup to provide entertainment that everyone will remember, and with the Vuvuzelas and the Spain:Netherlands finale it sure will be rememberd. PS : On a side note, there is no way Brazil isn't winning next world cup :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom7000 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 6 The bad: Tevez Just a question, what was so bad about Tevez? I think he played pretty well and the offside decision was not his fault. As for me, I'd rate it a 6 too. Agree with some of the points above. Not too sure why some of the big stars never turned up. The demise of the French and English was just a terrible shame. The ball was terrible, the referees were terrible at most, so, glad that the best man has landed the final. And yes, those bloody vuvuzelas!

Kostaz Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Just a question, what was so bad about Tevez? His face,obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alladaskill17 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I voted 8; started slow, but as always - drama unfolded. I though South Africa, so far (hard to undo at this point) has done a great job as a host nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajputwarrior Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 His face,obviously. id plus 1 you for the tevez comment in a hearbeat... golden! awesome player though... and so far how would i rate it? tell you after spain wins ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qdave Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Last worldcup was better unless someone gets headbutted tommorow. No. I loved this world cup. Plenty of excitement and unexpected stuff. The only thing i disliked is bad referring. So 9/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT 13 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Meh... The playing itself was good (not great) but what killed it for me was bad referring and the F'ing vuvuzelas... (so glad my girlfriend's TV service provider implemented a way to remove the vuvuzela sound) 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argote Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'd give it a 7/10 Not many goals in some games. Selecting games to watch was hard, some games that were an awesome matchup sucked and some games that were a poor matchup were great. Some terrible referee decisitions shaped some games in advantage of certain teams. ****ing Vuvuzelas were a bit annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 7/10. The vuvuzelas kept it from being an 8. There were some incredible games, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothuman Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 3/10 Very poor level, from everyone except Uruguay and Germany. Uruguay played with balls and Germany with speed and lucidity. Spain won, but only because they got a very easy start, and even so they lost the first game. TBH this World Cup will not stay in my memory. edit: if I may, I think this World Cup begins the fact that the players give way more with their clubs than their country. It's obvious with France, England, Italy, Brasil and Argentina. And you got almost all of the very top players in those countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoKiller Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The officiating by the referees was really the only gripe I had against this World Cup. Everything else is just part of the game, the Vuvuzelas you gotta deal with it and the South Africans proved it was worthwhile anyways. The ball, well here is the deal, it seems to me the teams that made it through and go past the qualifying round didn't complain about the ball so I think the players just use it as an excuse every World Cup to avoid criticism for their bad decisions/skills. FIFA seriously needs to learn and allows to technology to be taken into consideration when decisions are being made on the field, otherwise things will get way more heated the next World Cup.

GreenMartian Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'd say a 4. Plus 2 from Paul the octopus, which makes it 6 :rofl: I enjoy watching the games hoping he would get it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophulus Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 6/10 England's poor showing was a disappointment (but ultimately not a surprise), the vuvuzelas were an awful idea, but overall it was the fact that there were far more dull matches than good ones. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogward Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I've watched almost every single game in this worldcup... I'm really disapointed with pretty much everything... Suarez ? National Heroe ?! come on ! Spain... OK, quite fair-play but allways winning last-minute on 1-0 ? come on ! And what about "kung-foot" ??? (Netherlands, Argentina, Uruguay...) Nothing to say about referees... disgusting for most. I'm far from being dutch but the only games I did enjoyed were the ones they played...
