    Yay New Zealand!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Mega says:

    Ouch… so true :D

  4. gronkan says:

    France and Italy both have a very, very different look on masculinity.

  5. RandomOne says:

    Somehow I feel the same chart could apply to Ivory Coast after Kaka’s ejection. Only “Being injured” instead of “Being Tripped”.

  6. fred says:

    Well they can’t play football, so the got to try to win in other ways…

    • ForestElf says:

      I think you mean soccer.

      • Kracht says:

        No, football. You kick the ball with your feet. Only Americans are dumb enough to call a game where you throw the ball with your hands ‘football’.

        • Bing says:

          Thank you!

          • naru says:

            Actually Australian’s call football soccer as well, because we have our own football codes – AFL and rugbu.

        • locs says:

          did you know you can kick on the ball in american football too? or are you the average britt that just complains but never looks stuff up?

        • ForestElf says:

          I totally agree with you! But it actually does translate as soccer (if you’re Dutch, that is. I don’t know if it’s the same with the other languages (A)). While football is also used in English-speaking country’s, the word that’s used the most to refer to this sport is soccer.

          • ZjanP says:

            What? How does it translate as soccer if you’re dutch? In Dutch it is voetbal. (voet=foot, bal=ball)

            • ForestElf says:

              Yeah I know, I am Dutch :P , but when we learned English it was always said to use soccer ’cause of American Football. If we would use the word soccer, he said, it wouldn’t cause confusion. He made us use soccer because according to him that’s how you should translate it and that’s also how it is used around the world (at least he said so). Maybe our teacher just didn’t make sense :P I’ve been doing that one wrong for about 4 years though, because I didn’t agree :P

              Also, I have never actually heard anyone who’s not Dutch refer to it as football, even the German and Turkish people I met called it soccer, so meh :S

              • Mandy says:

                Okay, welll then it doesn’t translate to soccer. You were just taught that way to make it easier. I bet if you talked to German and Turkish people living in England, they’d call it football. The exact translation from Dutch to English is “football”.

                Anyway, what does it matter? We all know what people mean when they say “football” or “soccer”. Unless you’re just stupid enough to think that a comment on a graph about a WORLD CUP team would be referring to the NFL…

        • Tami says:

          It’s shaped like a foot. More than a sphere is, anyway.

        • Someone who is actually literate. says:

          So you think it’s okay to discriminate? If so, I will post hateful comments on everything you say.

  7. Dali says:

    Descent strategies.

  8. Bored. says:

    also goes for Serbia

  9. elliot says:

    i hate those pricks.. the only way they could tie the game was by taking a dive in the box… its terrible… everyone could see new zealand was the better team if u watched the game… the stats my show otherwise but watching the game show new zealand’s superiority and well… where italy lacks… balls

    • Emily says:

      Get over it. New Zealand played one decent game whereas Italy has won four World Cups. WE STILL WIN!

      • Victor says:

        If it weren’t for their remarkable acting skills it’s likely they wouldn’t even have four cups. A nicely excecuted dive in the last minute saved Italy against Australia in ’06 – but if the refs fall for it, more power to the Italians for exploiting it.

  10. Goooooooooooal!!! says:

    So according to this graph, none of the players on the Italian team fall down whenever they are tripped.

  11. Frank says:

    I humbly stand to differ in that-”BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!”

    Damned vuvuzelas…

  12. ninja says:

    nah thats more ronaldo

  13. Emily says:

    I think you’re talking about Ronaldo. The boy falls over every time someone gets near him and of course he gets the call.

  14. bleh says:

    Title should read “Talents of every professional team in any tournament.”

  15. LookAtMyHorse says:

    Replace Italian team with English team. GO SLOVENIA!

  16. Me says:

    This graph is totally inaccurate, as it does not include complaining.

  17. Anthony p says:

    What you are failing to understand is that the gravity in Italy is similar to that of the moons. What we see as diving is simply Italy losing the battle with Gravity.

    That being said, All whites you beauties thankyou for making me such a proud kiwi against those dirty italians

  18. Dave Owen says:

    Thanks so much for this graph which perfectly sums up what FIFA, their refs and most of the international sport media seem to have missed completely.

  21. voice from italy says:

    well, we are still champions of the world.
    and new zeland didn’t know how to play football. that was a team of fortune.
    I saw load of volleyball and rugby, though. maybe u are great at those sports.
    but still, well done for staying up at the champions of the world, but still u didn’t won.
    good luck for next matches!

    • Alejandro says:

      no…Brazil is the Champion of the World, not currently but 5 WC’s and this one (Portugal might hav a chance cuz 7-0)

      • ben says:

        plus

        *insult mother*

        *head butt*

        • MaryEU says:

          Really I don’t understand what’s wrong with you guys!
          I’ve watched the match, and New Zealand players were playing rugby that time, not soccer! They were very aggressive and that’s not Italy’s fault. If you don’t believe me then try to watch the match again!
          However it’s true that Italy hasn’t played well, that’s because Italy’s players are old by now. But they aren’t so much dishonests, and they have so much technical skill by comparison with New Zealand!
          And as a proof I will post the statistics of the match:
          ITALY – NEW ZEALAND
          Shots : 18 – 3
          Shots on goal : 7 – 1
          Corners : 15 – 0
          Fouls : 11 – 25

          See? Maybe you all should review your arguments.

          • :) says:

            From your statistics, i just realize how bad Italy’s aim is.

          • Whoop says:

            If they had skill why didn’t they win..?
            Too much drama, seriously, if they got over the fact that they weren’t doing as well as they could have by half time they should have come out more agressive instead of sulking and flopping around on the ground. Maybe they should have researched how the NZ team plays before going into it big-headed expecting to win and shown equal agression. If NZ has no skill and just used agression, why didn’t Italy fire back with skill AND agression? Instead they got fed up and cheated by trying to get the ref’s calls on their side, that’s not cricket.

  22. TheObject says:

    This is also true in basketball (especially NBA). It isn’t an issue in hockey since any real trip would immediately result in a brawl.

  23. FRPistols says:

    lol guise srsly. new zealand’s goal was offside and thus not valid but no one noticed it not even italian players.

    NZ has no heritage in soccer and should definitely be proud of their victories in rugby and america’s cup. don’t become so bullyish just
    because you scored a goal against italy.

    i’m italian and our team sucks. in fact, our whole soccer system sucks. but please be aware that calling an entire nation “dirty” because of how its national soccer team looks like or acts like is really stupid and retarded.

  24. Solset says:

    You don’t ‘belong’ to soccer. NZ goal was clearly offside, and talking about referee’s mistakes, two NZ players should have been sent off after 20 minutes (that’s right folks, you can’t use your elbows while playing soccer).

    Our team definitively sucks this year, but you trolls should shut up =)

    • Anthony p says:

      Wow your own side has you fooled, the guy is 6 foot somehting tall of course his elbows are going to be up their when he jumps, its when your players hit the ground when the elbow is no where near their face that its cheating, thats what it is cheating. You cant call it anything other then cheating.

      Yes we know our goal was offside but only because one of our players got a hint of touch on it before it was gifted to us by your defender not even the guy who got the goal would have known he was off side until it was to late.

      Italians = cheat, New Zealand = Moral victory for every team that has lost a game to you twats because you took a dive.

      May Slovaki woops your asses.

      • Guaido says:

        You have no idea about football, you just can play cricket where, by the way, your captain is Italian!!! Anyway: first lern the rules of football, later (eventually) write about it…. the rules are not changing if you are 6 or 2 foot tall!!!! You’re ridicolous!

  25. Frank says:

    Wait… first of all, somehow playing good football is “decent strategies”??
    Football is NOT “strategies”!!!
    Football is talent, creativity!!
    Even with the greatest tactical plan, and a team of players in perfect physical conditions, you’ll get nothing without improvisation.

    Second, this is Italy. 50% of Italy’s talent is “Hurting Others”, only 30% are “Making it seem as if the others are hurting them”. The remaining 10% is actual talent.
    You got the percentages all wrong

    Third, how can you gringos hear BZZ when the vuvuzela plays???
    Vuvuzelas make FÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓÓM!!!

    • GiPes says:

      I’m sorry, HE got the percentages worng?
      50% “hurting others”
      30% “Making it seem as if the others are hurting them”
      and the remaining 10% is actual talent…
      I’m sure there is something wrong in these calculations…

  26. Spireal says:

    At Italian’s Place, I Will be happy. Our French team is…what we said about. We are Ri-di-cu-lous. 12 years after being winners of a world cup and 4 year after a final !

  27. NZ is a little country but to be honest, Italianos, you guys got owned, NZ showed you how to make proper pizza!! haha

  28. your mom says:

  29. hari says:

  30. Bonald says:
