DON'T CHANGE THE CHANNEL!

JOHANNESBURG -- Police say a South African man who wanted to watch a World Cup match instead of a religious program was beaten to death by his family in the northeastern part of the country.
David Makoeya, a 61-year-old man from the small village of Makweya, Limpopo province, fought with his wife and two children for the remote control on Sunday because he wanted to watch Germany play Australia in the World Cup. The others, however, wanted to watch a gospel show.
"He said, 'No, I want to watch soccer,'" police spokesman Mothemane Malefo said Thursday. "That is when the argument came about.
"In that argument, they started assaulting him."
Malefo said Makoeya got up to change the channel by hand after being refused the remote control and was attacked by his 68-year-old wife Francina and two children, 36-year-old son Collin and 23-year-old daughter Lebogang.
Malefo said he was not sure what the family used to kill Makoeya.
"It appears they banged his head against the wall," Malefo said. "They phoned the police only after he was badly injured, but by the time the police arrived the man was already dead."
All three were arrested Sunday night, but Lebogang was released on $200 bail Tuesday, Malefo said. The other two are still being held in custody.
Malefo said the mother and son will reappear in the local Seshego Magistrates Court on July 27.
"He was always a happy man, never violent," Makoeya's nieces, Miriam and Anna, told the Daily Sun newspaper. "On Saturday, we saw him the last time at a funeral."
The World Cup, being played in Africa for the first time, started Friday and runs through July 11. Although most the tickets for the 64-game tournament have been sold, many in South Africa are too poor to attend matches.

Safety Car
that was a sad game for korea
OG and then off-side scoring
not blaming anything.. that's all part of the game...
korea needs to learn how to recoup back from losing a goals
it was clear today that their defense sucks and they easily fall apart after opponents score
only was to next round is beating nigeria...
now there is a desperation.. hopefully something good come out next tuesday..
i wanna see what they did to greece....

Korea has great energy and offense, but their defense is not so great to say the least. Not to mention they are short peeps 
so not that great against set pieces like the taller teams. But I still think they will either win or tie Nigeria and get them through.

well half of those cups in the last 24 years were played in europe..
one could argue they havent scored a WC goal in 3 tournements over the course of 24 years... but really its only a span of 3 months time over the course of 16 years.....
saying your way makes it sound horrible...
so they have a history of choking... i still stand behind them.

Goddam France is such a piece of 
They have amazing 'individual' players but as a team they are fucking horrid. And heaven knows how Domenech is still their coach but who gives a fuck he has one more game then he's done.
But hey it all worked out good for me because I picked Mexico and Uruguay to advance from this group
