Not strictly true as in printing two primary colours (out of red, green, blue) on top of each other create black. Each of these colours filters the other two thus red filters green and blue, and green filters red and blue. Leaving.....nothing!! 😕
Originally posted by DelmerThat would have been the best result for the USA, just one point behind. I liked the way Ghana played, they desrved better, though their brutal attacks on everything that wore something blue was outrageous. Three red cards was a minimum they should have had. A typical Italian win. I have my money on their championship, though I wouldn't mind if I lose a few bucks
Hello, my long time friend. I am listening to Italy vs Ghana now and hoping for a draw. If I understand the World Cup correctly that's what would be best for USA now. USA didn't look good at all against Czech.
Originally posted by DelmerIt's still very cut-throat. One of the commentators here mentioned that at the last World Cup, only one team that lost its first game made it through to the next round.
Now that I've watched and/or listened to all games so far and am beginning to understand the World Cup I am impressed at the way the tournament is organized. It's good to have a tournament where no team is eliminated immediately.
Oh, and everybody else - try and be careful with the madeup stories when there's a rookie around, okay? There's fun, and then there's wilful misinformation!

Originally posted by PalynkaI figured Groups G and H would be relatively boring before a single ball was kicked. Especially G.
Yesterday was definitely the most boring match day (so far) in a great tournament.
Let's hope Spain - Ukraine save the day and I believe today most likely marks the end of Africa's zero points.
What is so great about kick ball? I once saw a game of it. All they did was run back and forth kicking the ball around. At the end of regulation time the score was 0 to 0. At one point a player was allowed a free kick to score. The goaltender may as well have been playing a game of chess. The player kicked the ball so high over the cross bar that Wilt Chamberlain could not have caught it. In over time all they did was kick the ball to score at both ends of the field. What a sorry way to play the game. The NFL, NHL, MLB and NBA have great ways to settle their tied games. I never watched another game of kick ball game after that .
