WC Qualifiers: A Study of Faces

Category: Photo Call, Player News

Celebrations are better if you are elevated

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the many different faces we’ve seen recently in World Cup qualifying action.

There’s the good-old fashioned happy face, as seen (above), by Algerian keeper, Faouzi Chaouchi.


–
Sheva!
The “don’t want you to see the tears” Face (Ukraine’s Shevchenko)
–
Essam al-Hadary, Eqypt.
The “I could give a shite if you see me cry, I’m a man and I have feelings” Face (Egypt’s al-Hadary)
–
Russia's Anyukov ain't happy wit chu
The “bish, I’ll cut you” Face (Anyukov, Russia)
–
Pepe
The “aggro-happy” Face (Pepe, Portugal)
–
His abs are happy
The “my abs are overjoyed with emotion about this victory” Face (Perez, Uruguay)
–
He who smelt it, dealt it, Vida!
And, our personal favourite, the “Who farted?” face, as brought to us by Serbia’s Nemanja Vidic.

    Wow, I just love racist rants…*rolls eyes*

    How about you go find an Arabic/Egyptian dictionary and look up the words “SOUR GRAPES”.

    Ireland were robbed. If FIFa truly want to bring the “integrity” as they call it back into the sport, they should have a rematch. End of discussion.

    referees have been deciding games since i was born, they should not blame henry. first of all go an watch italy-australia game in 2006world cup, then judge… Henry is not to be blamed… players dive and never get caught…

    • Susie says:
      November 20, 2009 at 18:53

      Yes but the thing is, do those diving players make it a point to be part of a football campaign that is all about “fair play”?

      What Henry did was such blatant cheating, combined with his dismissive attitude afterwards…it is really astounding to see this come from someone of his stature.

      He deserves the roasting he is getting.

    Kay, seriously, Anyukov’s, “bitch I’ll cut you,” got me slightly more than Vida. Priceless.

    Still gutted they won’t be there though, props to Slovenia.

    I’m an Egyptian & I think that regardless of the score, what the Algerian fans did after the match was unacceptable. Yes, our goalie is disappointed because his worldcup dreams were shattered- 4ever. It’s never JUST football. We can accept defeat but people viciously attacking our supporters & players is a celebration gone too far.
    Al-Hadary is a wonderful player and we’re proud of our national team no matter what.”ta7ya masr”.

    • shay says:
      November 20, 2009 at 14:50

      I’d like to hear your thoughts on the attack of the Algerian player’s bus by Egypt fans. Don’t you think that was going too far also?

    • chena says:
      November 20, 2009 at 15:13

      the algerians were polite (or as polite as one can be in football) in the first home game against egypt. then they went to egypt and had stones thrown at them. that doesn’t make it okay for the algerians to respond in kind, but in terms of unacceptable behavir, it goes two ways.

    • Maya says:
      November 20, 2009 at 19:45

      The first home game:Not really,no. Our players were food-poisoned and Algerian fans took turns honking horns all night so they wouldn’t get any sleep.
      When the Alegerian players came to Cairo:It was just one stone that was thrown at the bus(& it was a stupid fan,I’ll admit). The rest of the shattered glass was caused by Algerian players themselves. If you don’t believe me, there’s an actual footage showing Algerian players doing that. The video was taken by the bus driver.
      Sudan:Sure, you guys have the right to celebrate but what kind of a celebration would scare an Egyptian TV presenter into taking her red T-shirt off and parading in her bra because she doesn’t want to get attacked?We even have the videos and injuries to show for it.
      The videos show the Egyptian fans & players getting attacked with knives.
      People, I don’t have anything against Algerians & I didn’t insult them so please don’t start calling my people names(ms indépendant).
      Alright? And congratulations on qualifying.Good luck in South Africa.

    I think that’s Nemanja’s “Opps I crapped my pants” face really.

    France, proving once again, that when it comes to football…no one can cheat better than they can.

    Thierry Henry should hang his head in shame.

    • Lily says:
      November 19, 2009 at 15:24

      and you’ve just showed us how impartial you were…

      • Susie says:
        November 19, 2009 at 18:30

        Maybe you should find any of the Portugal vs France matches of the last ten years or better yet, go Youtube that blatant dive Henry did against Puyol in the last World Cup (clutching his face for extra theatrics) trying to get him sent off.

        Not exactly a shock to see Henry blatantly handle the ball and then have the absolute gull to sit by Dunne and admit he cheated but that it was “the ref’s fault” for not calling it.

    • kaya says:
      November 19, 2009 at 17:44

      There’s nothing to forgive what Henry did last night. But when I think of cheating, I haven’t yet seen anything that makes me believe Italy and Argentina have handed over the crown.

    For everyone who can`t understand why Russia didn`t qualify… Slovenia was just better. I still can`t believe it, I guess I never will and I`m Slovenian.
    We controlled the whole match just Zhirkov was a bit annoying (to me).

    WE QUALIFIED!!!!

    If you would tell me that a month ago I`d laughed my ass off.
    In 2002 it was actually pure luck, now we were actually the better team.
    and yes we`re the smallest country qho qualified for WC.
    *turns off the computer and goes out to celebrate*

    How could Russia not qualify?? I am so sad i’m not going to see Arshavin, Pavlyuchenko, Bilyadetinov (most chances I spelled their names wrong) and co. in the WC. they were so much fun to watch in Euro 2008. that sucks.

    It’s sad to see footballers cry ;( Damien Duff cried and I was so sad for him and his teammates.

      November 19, 2009 at 12:18

      I agree with everything you said. No Russia makes me sad.

      Crying ballers makes me wish I was there to comfort them.

    • eveline says:

      um, because slovenia clearly played better?

      just wondering …

      • HiL says:
        November 19, 2009 at 17:05

        Of course they were better, it was just a general question:P I just like the Russian team a lot and it’s shame I won’t get to see them, that’s all

      I’m an Arsenal fan, so I’m not supposed to love Vidic, or Kranjcar, or Corluka. These south Slavs are sent to try me ! :D
