Description *EDIT 26 June 2010: GHA def USA 2-1

*Rough Sketch: [link]

*About the pic: Before you go 'I like your design for Ghana', I didn't make up this design!
There is an official look for Ghana, which you can see here in this article: [link]
(I also keep getting people saying that they liked how I drew New Zealand in one of my previous World Cup pics, but there's an official design for New Zealand which can also be seen in the article)

--- 24 June 2010 ---

Aw... why do some of my favorite teams have to battle it out against each other?!

In case you don't know, my favorite teams for this World Cup are:

USA
Germany
England
Netherlands
Spain
Japan

My least favorite team is Italy - who is OUT!
I'm not a big fan of Brazil either, but I don't hate them that much.

France was a favorite, but mein Gott they're a joke this time around - they've been pretty much going downhill since the last World Cup, and the team going on 'Strike' and crap...
(France is pretty much a 'Meh' country since he's surrendered and lost to many battles in the past ).


But at least it's not USA versus Germany - I'd be so crying in a dark corner because I like both teams, and most of the people I know here in dA are German and I'm American... it wouldn't be pretty.


Anyway, the Ghana versus USA should be an interesting match since it was Ghana who kicked USA out of the World Cup last time, and Ghana being the only and last African team in the tournament...
But I'm American, so GO TEAM USA!

As for Germany versus England... *sigh*
I won't be able to watch the match when it happens due to important stuff, so it's going to be watching the Mexican Channel (I can't understand much Spanish and have to deal with 2 minute-long 'GOOAAAAAL's so I won't be enjoying the game as much) or ESPN for the replay - that's if they replay it.


Well... that's all I have to say for now.

Feel free to leave a Comment as always.

Whaaa~ USA did loose to Ghana again - with the same score 2-1!
(I kinda sensed a bad omen about the match anyway because my left ear is acting all weird; they also said Ghana had a 51% chance of winning )

And Germany vs. England - I really like both teams so I'm kinda still crying in a dark corner right now...
They say England's got a 54% chance of winning, but Germany has the the highest average of making Penalty Kicks (England has the lowest average - pretty funny that the two are going at each other with such stats )

We'll just have to wait and see...

Honestly I would love a US vs. Germany Match. But I would be a horrible person and root for Germany... I did that during the Olympics as well. Nicely drawn though!

FrauV8 In reply to ABtheButterfly [2010-06-27 05:35:01 +0000 UTC]

*sigh* Ja, they did... just like last time, the score was 2-1, but with Overtime - the first time ever for Team USA.

ABtheButterfly In reply to FrauV8 [2010-06-27 05:37:59 +0000 UTC]

Oh well better luck next time

who was the one who got overtime?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FrauV8 In reply to ABtheButterfly [2010-06-27 06:02:46 +0000 UTC]

Okay... maybe I should try to explain how it works in the Knock Out Rounds:

*Each match is 90 minutes long with each half being 45 minutes (give or take 3+ minutes; you probably also noticed that the teams switch sides at the end of the 1st half).

*If no Goals are made or if it's a Draw within the 90-minute limit, it goes into 30-minute Extra Time (they also switch sides as if it's an actual full-timed match after 1 half [15 minutes] is done).

*If there is still no Goals scores or it's still a Draw after Extra Time, it goes into Penalty Shoot Out where the teams gets 5 penalty kicks each (I believe they alternate turns when kicking, but this doesn't happen that often).


So to answer the question "Who got Overtime?", both teams get the extra time.
For Team USA, this was the 1st time they ever gone through an Extra Time/Overtime session in Soccer/Football History.

well germans are totally crazy about soccer worldcups xD i really hope we get at least 2nd ^^'
but i always hear america doesn't really care for the worldcup xD only few people

ABtheButterfly In reply to fresch-debo [2010-06-25 13:46:38 +0000 UTC]

That is true (I don't care about it either (much) It'll be funny if America actually won the cup this year ( yeah like that would ever happen ) the truth is I didn't even know there was a USA team, I'd always thought USA was the only country that didn't have a soccer team XD this is the first year knowing my country has a team (I knew there was a world cup, but not that my country played in it)

fresch-debo In reply to ABtheButterfly [2010-06-26 21:31:23 +0000 UTC]

well but you lost against ghana xD but they really were tough opponents and you've done ok
i guess since now your team didn't even made it through the testgames XD (or whatever it's called xD)
i don't want to say that you're bad or something it's just if there isn't much intrest in this sport there isn't much choice for the team in germany for example we have a huge ammount of soccerclubs, a 1st league, a 2nd league, even the womans are playing it (our womans got first in woman-worldcup 2007) so you see, we're crazy about soccer xD

we lost to Ghana again? (or are we still taking about last time?) your right there is not much interest in soccer in the states, it's usually just a sport we play in gym class.

FrauV8 In reply to CeruleanWings [2010-06-25 09:38:51 +0000 UTC]

Well, that depends on where you live.
In the Eastern Coast of USA, it'll be this Sunday @ 9:30 in the morning.
Here in California and the Western Coast of USA, it'll be @ 7:30 AM since there's a 2-3 hour difference (some states don't do Daylight's Savings, like Arizona).
So if there's a 8-10 hour difference between here and Germany... well, I'm sure you can figure that out.
