I love to see 5 star hosts. Any host at 4 or below indicates to me they most likely do not strip in video.

n/a

i'm guessing his category is"gender benders"

Maybe it's me, but it sounds like you're taking a shot at "Viewer" with your "Gender Benders" comment, which wouldn't be nice. I'm sure they work just as hard as anyone else here and try to put on a good show too, in their own ways. Not to mention, I'm sure they'd like equal respect for who they are on a purely human level.

As for his post, his point crosses ALL categories here. He's simply saying that a lower rating traditionally means that a host's show wasn't very satisfying -- usually because the host didn't give the kind of show that she promised. Which could mean, as he said, that the host didn't strip at all or she stalled on the stripping for as long as possible, to run up the bill. That's all he was saying.

Tell me who you are and I will come and give you 1 star just to help you earn some $'s :P

Have you ever found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow ?

1 star from you is like a"crock of ----" at the end of a rainbow

5 stars never keeps me away... Maybe it is ur price, ur pics, ur profile... who knows? But it makes no sense that a guy would stay away just because of ur stars if u have 5.

I think 5 stars can suggest a high degree of profssioanalism. Guys who like 'girl next door types' maybe stay clear of 5 star ladies.

As has been suggested many times the star rating system is very, very, very subjective. I take little notice of stars, big notoce of price.
To a large degree a ladies price will decide how busy her room is.

In simple terms i can get all i require here for less than 1.00 & may go up to 1.20 in exeptional circustances.

The saying " you get what you pay for" is most certainly not true on cc. There a beautiful, charming,sexy, awsome girls at less than 1.00.

Market forces are far more relevant than stars, simple as...

n/a

Do hosts with low star ratings also have quite times ? Maybe a low visitor count has nothing to do with stars & all to do with the ebb & flow of business. All business' have slow periods, these can be caused by many differing reasons Eg time of day, time of year, credit crunch etc etc. I suspect that the amout of effort a host puts into her profile pics may also be relevant to the number of paying guests.

I just can not see how a good star rating can damge business. From what i've read on these forums in the past, profile pics & price are the key factors for 1st time visits.

n/a

I think you are being a little unfair as the poster does mention that his opinion is based on what he has read on the forums.

Also after criticising him you then go on to say "The higher priced hosts are not hurting at all :)". Have you canvassed them all or are you just speaking for all ?

You never mentioned what category you are in? Also, what 5 star host is at $1? We all could give you better advice if you would have used your screen name so that we could look at it and tell you. Obviously there is a big problem.

your post is valid,but you can only speak for yourself(though others might feel the same)price for me isn't part of the equation.,neither is rating

n/a

How is 4.5 stars working for you? Any better?

YOUR Comment "To a large degree a ladies price will decide how busy her room is." Is your opinion and is not founded. The higher priced hosts are not sitting there idol! Your comments should supported with "in my opinion" because there is certainly no fact in that comment.

I said " to a large degree" which means that my comment was not carved in stone & as such was not intended to be absolute. If you disagree with the content thats fine. If you deliberately Misinterperate & spin my words thats also fine. I am aware that the subject of price can be very controversial. particularly with hosts.

The main point of my comment was this ' I do not need to pay more than 1.20 to get what I require here'. This is a simle fact. Does this make me a cheap old wanker? of course it does ! But of course I am being subjective...

Your comment was:

To a large degree a ladies price will decide how busy her room is.

This comment sounds like you are announcing a fact which is not!!
That is your opinion and obviously not fact or the higher priced hosts wouldn't be doing so well :)
So you're cheap and happy....that is fine! So you never go to 5 star hosts room so why would you contribute to the "why" question at all.
I don't need an answer :)) Have fun doing what you do :))

Presumably the comment you made "the higher priced hosts wouldn't be doing so well" must be fact as you didn't precede it with "In my opinion".

Can you let me know how you collected al the data you used to validate this comment ?

A second point is that it could still be a fact that the lower priced hosts are busier than the higher priced hosts and the higher priced hosts could still be doing okay. The two are not mutually exclusive.

You sound like a groupie :) Obviously you belong to this select group that is trying to force hosts to reduce their prices.
Let me know where you work and I can come and harass you too telling people that you make too much money and your reviews should be rated low because of it :)
Don't you have anything better to do than harass hosts on here that you can't afford to see? That goes for your other friends on here too :)

and you come across as the sort of person who only reads what they want to see and not what is actually written.

1. Where in my post did I suggest any host should reduce her price or that she should be rated badly if she doesn't ? If you think that post was harassing hosts then you've led a far too sheltered life (Although I am touched that you think I wield that much influence over what price hosts charge). Feel free to come to my work and complain that I get paid too much. I probably do :D

2. My post was actually about your double standards in decrying someone for stating something as fact (which it could very well be) rather than clarifying that it was just their opinion whilst doing exactly the same thing yourself. Unless you are going to provide me with the data you collected to justify your comment that all high priced hosts are doing well.

3. I can afford to visit any host on here if I wanted to but don't see the point in paying $4 - $6 when there are just as beautiful and sexy women who provide me with the very best shows ever for around $2 or less. In other words I don't want draft beer at champagne prices :P (that isn't an attack on hosts it is a direct response to your posts).

4. As for having nothing better to do I now have 4 posts in this thread you have 7. Although I suspect others such as the one from "in your opinion" are also from you. Don't YOU have anything better to do ?

5. I see, from reading your replies to freelance writer, that you are once again only reading what you want to see not what is actually written and I see that you are still claiming that your opinion is fact.

6. As for being anonymous at least ImNotYourFriend is my member name. luv sunshine is certainly not your member or host name.

you seem to have zeroed on on this comment. it was a subjective point & like I said earlier not carved in stone. I'm afraid no amount of pedantic spin on your part will alter this. Perhaps you should do some research into relativity & the difference between 'subjective' & 'objective'.

Of course I may have been wrong & a hosts price is in no way related to how busy her room is. If this is the case all the hosts can charge what they like & there will be no down turn in business. This would mean that cc is not subject to market forces...

If all the hosts on cc raised their prices to 2.99 would cc's gross income rise or fall? Would the income of each individual host rise or fall?

PS if any of those beautiful & wonderful hosts who charge 1.00 or less happen to read this post please disrgard my comments as you're perfect in every way & don't need to change anything.

Cheap Cheap Cheap.....Quit harassing hosts in an attempt to force their prices down. Your opinions don't apply to all members and hopefully they have their minds that they listen to and not you.

Read above...it applies to you too....although you might be one in the same :)

I think it's silly to argue over the choice of words that "Low Star" used. The real debate is pricing overall. With regards to that, I think there's one fact we can all agree on. FACT: The world economy SUCKS right now. Entire COUNTRIES are facing bankruptcy. MILLIONS of people are unemployed with MILLIONS MORE facing the loss of their jobs. And for those lucky to have a steady job, even they are seeing their incomes & benefits dropping like a rock. So with that grim picture in mind, let's try to politely agree on two simple things.

1) There will always be hosts who charge a high price. Simply because they feel they are worth it due to their looks or the show they give. If they charge a high price and still have guests, I say good for them. There will always be guys willing to pay a higher price, who feel they are paying for quality over quantity (so to speak). So "Luv Sunshine" is right -- some hosts can keep their prices high if they choose to AND if the market will bear that price.

2) On the other hand, "quality" is subjective. For some guys (like "Low Star") a $1 host can be as sexy or fun as a $3 or $5 host. That's the point he was making and he's right too. During these hard times, I'm sure many guys are discovering there ARE lots of fun, hot looking, low priced hosts at CC. So I wish the Low Price girls all the best too. Economically speaking, they are doing better financially due to volume. That's just basic math. If a guy has $30 to spend that could be a nice and quick 10 minute chat with a $3 host -- but it could also be a full half hour with a $1 host.

I'm NOT saying that ALL hosts should lower their prices. Every host should price herself according to what she feels she is worth. I'm simply saying that during these hard economic times it only makes sense that guests are probably rethinking "how much" they're willing to spend and on "who". And I don't think that's guys being cheap. I think that's simply a normal human reaction to the way things are in the REAL world these days, away from the FANTASY world of playing online.

Wrong....that is like creating a world panic. Do you think that the girls that work here to support themselves should support themselves on half of the wage? While prices go up our income should go down? Certainly members would not be willing to do their jobs at a half of their income!! What logic is that? Few hosts have someone in video the whole time that they are working. Also your assumption that $1 host are busy all the time is not fact. Quite the contrary in fact, many hosts have more than one room with opposite in pricing and the higher price room does better...I am not condoning it but it is true. Further just because there is a forum here doesn't mean that it should be used to drive down the prices of the hosts or make them suffer. Seems to be the attitude with a select few here. The efforts seem to be so that they can enjoy champagne at the price of draft beer...lol.
Where else can you go "anonymous" and demand a business to lower their prices and threaten them with bad reviews and boycotts if they do not accept less....this is vindictive to try force this in this forum.

>> Wrong...that is like creating a world panic. Do you think that the girls that work here to support themselves should support themselves on half of the wage? While prices go up our income should go down?

I can see this is an emotional issue to you based on your posts. But to answer what you said above -- and sorry to pick on your reading comprehension skills -- but I guess you decided to SKIP the part in my post where I SPECIFICALLY said (quote): "There will always be hosts who charge a high price. Simply because they feel they are worth it due to their looks or the show they give. If they charge a high price and still have guests, I say good for them."

See? I was acknowledging that higher priced girls can do business as usual -- in fact, I even wished them well. What more do you want? Hell, later in the same paragraph, I even AGREED with you and said (quote): "So, Luv Sunshine is right -- some hosts can keep their prices high if they choose to AND if the market will bear that price." Not to mention, I ended my post by also saying (quote): "I'm NOT saying that ALL hosts should lower their prices. Every host should price herself according to what she feels she is worth."

For crying out loud, Luv, I can't be any more fair than that. I flat out said that every host should feel free to price herself however she wants, and the market will ultimately decide if its right or wrong. I'm sorry if that offends you somehow, but that's simply a lesson in Basic Economics 101.

Freelance if your theory was true then your statement would also be that high end department stores would be out of business readily while cheap stores would stay in business.....reality says that is not a true statement. There is no government bailout money for them either...hehe. What I see ( or is the underlying statement) quite often in these posts is where members want hosts to lower their prices so that they can afford to enjoy them, when in reality they don't shop at the high end department stores either so their concept of true value is different and should not effect any hosts pricing :) They simply can not afford the finer things in life..... I honestly think if we could read the posts from 5 years ago.....there would be very similar comments and having nothing to do with the economy. This site obviously provides something for everyone's budget and taste and some can't afford their tastes.....

I only go to girls who r rated 5
if the are not too expensive, more than $1.50/min
i donot enter into their room
but i usually stay for an hour
i am in love with someone who works at CC
we met 5 years ago
she was rated a 5 for the past 3 years
i think the rating system started 3 years ago
but she had connection problems one day
and someone rater her a poor score
now she is rated a 4.5 because someone rated her unjustly
she is in Glamour
i feel that no one who stays less than 10 minutes can leave a rateing
either good or bad
i have gone to several different girls thru these past 5 years
but i cannot find a more beautiful, sweet, intelegent , kind and curtious girl than my Natalya
so I donot know why you donot get alot of customers with a rateing of 5
unless you are just priced too high
i am self employed
and i would rather charge a little and make a lot
than charge alot and make a little
peace
good luck to you

totally agree . the ref is very stupid .

what cost you more than that decision was attitude.usa needs to realise that your last performance doesn't coubt in your next match.usa was lucky to be only to down at oranges.just be thankful usa has a very good coach.

what the? translator please?

Lakers beat Celtics in Game 7

What ever happened to that rape charge against Kobe Bryant? Did he just pay her off to go away?
And did Ron Artest climb into the crowd and punch some fans to celebrate winning the championship?
Man, I love the NBA.

yes and soccer players are so virtuous, you sure you want to play this game Woo?

It was a dreadful call. I hope it does not cost the USA the chance to advance out of group play, they have been quite entertaining.

Sounds familiar to me...Russia-Slovenia, the match that decided who will go to the World Cup. Refereeeeee SUCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life is unfair, shit happens(

refs are like girls,they all suck,it's just a matter if they suck to our satisfaction

Awwww aint u romantic?)))

i wish,but in truth i'm just a horny loser with a credit card looking for cheap thrills that leads to 1 great spill.

I agree with your suggestion, but apparently he was in excellent position...what he was looking at is anyone's guess. I read that the FIFA match report called it a foul on Edu (after watching footage I cant see anything close to a foul on Edu) though I can see three slovenes bearhugging.

n/a

It was a good game, agree! Why is there so much animosity towards USA teams? I hear a lot of that and just wondering.

Because we are the greatest country in the world. People love to hate us cause of all the things that we enjoy here and take for granted. Also cause we control the majority of the worlds economy....

OMFG=))=))=))

couldn;t of expressed it better myself,but i will add"dreams are free"

If you are going to try to troll a forum you have to make a post that will make people pissed off at you... not make people point and laugh at you.

Better luck next time, and happy trolling! :D

Yes I love my country and would not want to be anywhere else on this earth....so you think they are jealous, ok thanks. :)

3 replies so far in roughly an hour... Thats not too bad for this forum.

You can «control the majority of the worlds economy» and yet you can't control a damn oil leak... it would be laughable if it wasn't so sad...

Interesting. After trying three times to post a response which points in the opposite direction of the "We Are The Greatest" (TM) attitude, it seems obvious that they all fell under censorship.

I love you too. sir!!!

I love DP too.

DP = Double Penetration? :D

Tease is ok if the aim is to please in the end. Upskirt with panties or no panties is all time fav.

Imagine your boy friend is away for several weeks. He misses you and you miss him. He has a chance to see you online. What would you do to turn him on, make him happy and show him that you miss him....that is what you have to do in your tease. Not too much...not too little...but in the end enough for him to want to hop on a plane and fly back to you immediately. Easy.

really anoying your posts.

Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration. Your post is like a standing ovation...

a good tease is sensual moves, upskirt, a slow striptease. Tease could be everything. We cannot touch the hosts and we will not have actual sex. So everything and anything done on cam is a tease.

slow strip, preferably with suggestive dialogue:)

2-1 at the half. Should be 2-0...a little lapse on defense right before the half. Tevez and Messi look great. A couple of more goals in the 2nd half and I can go to work a happy man..... Dale Argentina....Siempre.

I do not believe, i know that!

What do u know? The both sides of the question?

lust..come and go..it can be more intense but not for a long time. I belive sex with loved person is much better in a long run, even though with time passion decrease if you dont feed it :P

n/a

Love obviously fullfill sex with many emotional sides, brings into that many colours, and i beleive its best what the people can feel, to make love, not sex. Sex for me its too sacrified action, too intimate for do that without any feelings.thats my opinion))

n/a

Both are part of the evolutionary strategy for our DNA to reproduced. Lust gets yr genes out there with less chance of parental care, and love increases the likelyhood of children to survive due to more care. That is why men benefit more from lust, and women from love.

Wow.....wonder how bf feels about that? Maybe he is bringing passion to other girls as well is why he is so good in bed. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful music, ain't it?

I stopped to look at matches after the first 15 mins of the first match.
World championships are closed for me cos i take care of my nervous health.....

you must be joking.

Am i the only one who doesnt care abt horns?? I wudnt say that my nerves are made of steal but jeez ppl...why all the whinning? Watch the game for god's sake! Seriously, i cudhear then maybe during first 10 mins of the very first game, but then i stopped paying attention to them. Its so easy, its monotonous, like lets say clock, and in some time u just stop noticing it lol) Pffffff......Whats annoying is this whinning, not the horns...

Sounds like downtown Moscow during rush hour (6.00 to 20.00, lol) with all the horns. You get used to it and tune it out.

n/a

Part of the enjoyment of the World Cup is hearing the reactions of the peoples of the world cheering on their teams during the ups and downs of the game....but we dont get to hear any of that. we only hear bflat noise. Players have also been complaining. Fans at the stadium have made ear plugs big sellers. I watched the whole confederations cup last year and it was the same problem. This has nothing to do with African culture....chinese made pieces of plastic. Apparently the V.....was used to call together meetings, I'm sure once the meeting was called, the horns stopped.

but it's soccer - you can count on one hand the number of plays that should rightly elicit some excitement form the crowd during any one game. whether it's buzzing plastic horns, an incessant drum beat, or english fans constantly chanting insults to other nationalities, does what goes on in the crowd at a soccer match really matter? just be glad that there's no rioting and that no one's lobbing feces bombs on to the field.

There are two main differences with your comparisons (and you can't compare English club matche audiences with the world cup audiences) All your examples that you give come and go during a match, rise and fall, the vuvu is non stop constant off key 140 decibel noise pollution. Second, the vuvu means no one else can be heard; all the examples you give, others can be heard also. Be that as it may, the cable service I am watching has been able to mute much of the vuvu noise (( iguess it is not just me annoyed).

I think we could use a little more vulva around here.

so true :))

yeah, i know. crazy, huh? for as much as the spanish side waves their arms and complain to the officials, they should win every game!

It could be interesting indeed. Thay could only do it for viewers forum as they do not know the real memeber (or host) names of the posters in General Forum.

Whilst a member/host has to be logged-in to post in the other forums, I expect most people who post in general are also hosts/members (rather than casual visitors) and also probably logged-in at the time (so as to view other pages). So on that reasonable basis, cc would know the real identities of most people posting here too.

n/a

n/a

With good reason. Keeping member usernames out of the forum prevents spam and helps with security of account.

Any host that uses their chat host name in forums should make sure they have very strong password. Don't use a password that can be guessed by someone who knows you.

you would find that I write messages to myself making me look good :-))

and messages from hairyts,making me sound desirable :--)

you are desirable big round bald boy!

Yes I think that would be very amusing.

but it would be even funnier if our full legal names were exposed and direct links to all of our posts were emailed to our moms.

good one!!

Yes it would give me the opportunity to block some members just by what they write in here about the hosts.....hehe

what a stupid business model

What a stupid Punk :)

a smart business model,isn't a free for all,it's a selective process ala porsche,lacoste etc otherwise target & best & less etc would be the most famous brands

isn't porsche being taken over by volkswagen?

Why not just shut down these public forums completely? Every other adult site is doing just fine without them.

Yes, let's make CC no different from any other adult chat web site.

You're throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Or make that "bb" :-D

Considering that probably no more than about 1% (a totally unscientific figure I concede) of either hosts or members probably use the forums, is difficult to see how is really a significant feature of the site.

i think these forums are part of what makes c.c. special. there is much more of a sense of community here.

Well .... a forum without a search tool is really just a glorified shoutbox - but thats cool with me as it stops the anally retentive posters from being able to say 'If you'd use the search you would see that this topic has been discussed on several occasions already ... like <here> or <here> ...... blah blah blah"

Much better craic to just let the comments pass through like a steam train ...

Most forums are anonymous and people are more inclined to post when they can keep their identity secret. Of course all identities in CC are made up and creating a new ID is a fairly simple process. I think people like to gossip and unfortunately people like to make up gossip...that is the downside of anonymity. I clearly do not use my screen name but a lot of the host know who I am by my style of writing. It should also be noted that a lot of host don't even know the forums exist. They never post and hardly every read them. They are after all working and they have little time for gossip.

Ofiget! Pardon my french but it is difficult to find a more generalised question in this area. It is like asking a stranger which girl you should pick among 1 million beautiful ones (assuming you qualify for any of them;)

If you say 'I am going to Asia' then are you just wanting to go to any country in Asia at all? Everything from Uzbekistan to North Korea?
Or are you asking which country/countries to choose? And how long do you plan to go? Even seeing all one single country has to offer is enough to full a vacation - and for the bigger ones such as China and India, it is enough to fill several vacations. While I have only been to two countries so far - Vietnam and China, I still find myself wishing to visit at least three more - Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.

It helps a lot if you would mention what your interests are. Temples? Nautre? Trekking? Elephant trips? River cruises? Beaches? Or does your identity here refer to other things you are looking for?

Again, there are millions of places to go. A tiny hint of more specific interests would help a great deal...

Thanks for the reply. I know my question was really generalised but that was the point. Asia is so vast that if I started looking at all the places I'd like to visit I'd end up needing to be on vacation for years.
This is why I wanted to hear of others experiences first hand. Places they have been to that are a must see. I'm hoping to put together a vacation based on such recommendations and looking to do as much as possible .
So far based on a couple of recommendations I've already received I'm thinking of doing Thailand and Laos.
Failing this I may just choose a month's package holiday, but I'd rather do things myself.

Well, based on your suggestions of Thailand and Laos, I will jot down my previously made in-my-mind trip that I considered last year, although it is still only on the planning stage, and certainly changeable.

I considered a combination of Thailand and Laos.

By the way, you still do not mention what your main interests are, if any, so my itinerary is what in my eyes would be a good combination of culture, sights, temples, nature and other experiences.

Start off - fly to Bangkok, stay there for 4-5 days - there is a lot to see, so maybe even this is little - depending on if you want to see a lot.
Grand Palace - an absolute must. There's a death penalty if you go to Bangkok and do not see this. Seriously :P And add in Wat Pho at the same time. Half day to full day, depending on if you are an eager photographer like me and like to spend a lot of time for some nice shots (if you can get any good ones with the throngs of people).
A boat trip along the Chao Praya river, including a visit to Wat Arun - Temple of Dawn. Or in addition (needs an early start): visit the floating market outside the city - certainly a genuine experience of 'old times'.
A full day trip to Ayutthaya, Thailand's former capital, sacked by the Burmese, thereby resulting in - Bangkok. Still, it houses a lot of mostly well preserved ruins (no golden roofs anymore, sadly). Most visitors here combine it with a visit to the Bang-Pa In Summer Palace further south.
Maybe you want to visit the River Kwai and see the infamous railroad stretch made by POWs for Japan, who occupied this part of Thailand back then.
Experience the hustle and bustle of Bangkok too - ride a tuk-tuk and breathe in the polluted air - or go with the skytrain (very easy to get around with). Visit the market areas, or the big shopping malls, such as MBK.
A possible side trip - the park to the south of the city which houses smaller replicas of famous places/buildings from all around the country. But if you plan to go around a lot, maybe this will be a waste of time..*shrug*

Next, I would consider going north - there is a possibility to stop over at Sukhotai in central Thailand, which is similar to Ayutthaya. But if you fear your trip will give you an overdose of historic temple areas, you may want to skip it.
Because you should go to Chiang Mai, a smaller city which houses almost as many temples as the capital. And it is said that it is fairly tranquil and pleasant.
I would also recommend Chiang Rai, gateway to the Golden Triangle. From here, you can go elephant trekking, regular hiking, or maybe even cross into Burma (you may want to check if it is easy and/or safe first...) But do visit the fairly new (still under construction) white temple - Wat Rong Khun - it looks absolutely amazing (in fact I would add this on my own trip just to go here alone, as the rest of the Chiang Rai area doesn't appeal to me).
When in the north/northeast, it is short to Laos - from here, you can visit Vientiane, the capital, but I would definitely also recommend Luang Prabang - said to be one of the world's most beautiful places.

After all this, I would consider going for a slightly more relaxing place and would add a few days in the south of Thailand. Many go to Phuket, but it is very touristy (I will not even mention Pattaya), but I would instead recommend Krabi - less developed, less touristy, more genuine, and more beautiful nature right outside your door.
Add 2-3 full days here, and visit the beautiful Phi Phi Island as well as Railay Beach (the setting for the movie 'The Beach' - even though it wasn't pretty enough for the filmmakers - they changed a few things). Also, go on a regular trip in the gulf, and see the spectacular caves and limestone rocks rising straight out of the sea. Do not miss Koh Tapu (also called James Bond Island, used in 'The Man With The Golden Gun').
And maybe add one day for relaxing before heading back to Bangkok and the return home.

Well..it's a suggestion.

I would recommend getting good guidebooks. I have two on Thailand - Dorling Kindersley - because they have lots of great pics - and Footprint - very good at going deeper with. I do not have any on Laos yet though, mainly because the visit would not be big.

For accommodation, I always use Tripadvisor and always with a grain of salt. Finding a place to stay one which matches your tastes and budget should be easy, Bangkok is one of the cities where you get the most Bang for your buck (Kok? Excuse the pun..)

Happy planning, and remember: half the fun is planning itself!

Mr T.

That is absolutely fantastic. In fact it was much more than I expected.

I have copied your suggestions over and will research everything you have recommended. It's a superb starting point.

Thank You very much!

Had a good day in Tehran 8 years ago, friendly people and great restaurant in the evening - not joking either was very good but for the pollution

Thanks, I'll have a read up about it.

You seem more confident about the portuguese team than we do lol

Funnily, the "forca" (also means "hang rope" lol) is what's expecting them if they don't qualify :))

The way we did play yesterday..omg.. It was hard to play agains noth of corea! I still want believe we are going win the world cup..;).

Forca.. Brasil / USA and Portugal ..

xoxoxoxo

Vuvuzelas ! Yes,they're South African.Everyone seems to hate 'em.Personally,I love a lively crowd.Perhaps if you're on the stadium the noise can be a bit annoying,but even that's better than lame cheerleaders with fluffy pom-poms

The horns are stupid! If they blew them just at certain moments such as a goal, that would makes sense. But they blow them 100% of the game. It is like a bunch of little kids given a toy that they play with for 90 minutes non-stop. The problem is that unlike a little kid, they don't get bored with it and keep playing them the next game too.

It isn't a lively crowd enjoying a game. It is a bunch of people enjoying that they have a big event and want to blow their stupid horns to celebrate. Fine. I get the point. You got the World Cup.

Get your heads into the game! Focus on what is happening on the field. Don't focus on other distractions like cheerleaders, horns, whatever. These people are NOT true sports fans, and their actions take away from others' ability to enjoy the game. A real sports fan wouldn't have time to be distracted by stupid things like horns.

Oh yes haha i agree with u abt cheerleaders))))

I dont care abt horns, i dont think i even notice them a lot as im usually concentrated on the game, just like, im sure, any other football fan:)

Well, I can concentrate on the game, but a real football fan at the stadium wouldn't be distracted and need to play a stupid horn. It is just annoyiing.

I don't care how much of a fan you are, it takes away from somebody's ability to enjoy the game. I suppose if I saw MonikaBabe walking down the street and people were blowing horns (as I am sure they would), I wouldn't be distracted, but sorry, I still find them annoying during the game.

It sounds like a swarm of bees inside the tv.

don't worry - by all accounts this world cup is a failure. it will be 2070 before africa gets another chance. bad weather, lots of empty seats, expensive airfare, lousy accommodations and public transportation, no thanks....today even the security forces for the stadiums went on strike...I can't wait for 2014 in Brazil!

1. I don't think you can write off a whole continent by one event

2. Brasil gets the Olympics and the World Cup? wow

Agree about writing off a whole continent, and I remember lots of group games in Italia 90 where there were lots of empty seats, and in Japan/Korea in 02 as well, and don't remember anyone questioning the wisdom of a world cup there

n/a

in addition transportation to and from the venues has been a mess.

Well its winter so what do you expect ? Accomadation is tops fans are having a ball here its one big party . Trasoprtation is a bit of a mess but no one is complaining compared to the us or korea this world cup is 10000% better im loving it . Stadiums are the best . And recreation visitors are having a ball

i agree with you it is annoying.but it is a part of african fan culture,i think we must accept it.if you want to make the noise a bit lower,try to change the sound (equalizer) of your TV.

n/a

If horn blowing was, for example, part of some type of special ceremony, I would accept it. But we are talking about a football game, and no matter how much people love football, it is just a sport, nothing more. Unless you want to tell me that horn blowing is some type of sacred ritual at public events, I am not going to give it the same type of respect as things such religion and other cultural differences.

Dude... i was unlucky to have one of those blowing just 1 meter away from me today and i cant tell you that all i wanted was to shove that damn vovuzela up that fu**** ass!!

Now imagine having thousands of those together in a football stadium... jeeez...

let them play them during south africa's games. They are fu$%^&cking annoying.

n/a

I hate the vuvuzela too it shpuld be banned )))

it's funny, i found those horns annoying at first too, but the more that people cry and complain about them, players, especially, the more i kind of love them:)

tight game .

2-1 brasil, not very impressive for Brasil

It was an amazing first goal, but Brasil cant be too happy with their performance, North Korea and their Dear leader Kim Hung Lo are ranked 104th. I would like to know what the brazilian press is saying about their performance.

will you take it off if they win to celebrate?

both teams play tomorrow

Was such a boring game, and this cry baby Ronaldo again jeez....Shame that Drogba isnt in his best shape due to the injury(( I was hoping that he wud score(( Hope Cote d'ivoire will do better next time:)

n/a

I know that he is a good player but he is still a cry baby, its annoying:) Just run next to him-he will fall and act like he will die any moment! He needs to be in soap operas lol, they will love him there)) And Drogba is awsome indeed, one of the best!

one of the things i hate about football is the flopping and crying; another ...games are foten played where teams play to tie and/or not to lose. I'd rather watch paint dry.

I'd rather watch sports where teams try to win rather than play to tie or to lose by a certain goal differential..

Go for it. Noone forces u to watch football;)

it was either be vuzueled or forced to watch Cote D'Ivoire/Portugal, i mistakenly chose the match and got both and had the pleasure of seeing a team tied 1-1 in the closing seconds of the match with one player writihing on the ground as if he had been struck down by a machete(Academy award material!) and the his teammate decide to not kick a corner that could possibly win the game. Tie! That is excitement!

oops sorry it wasnt even that exciting, it was 0-0, maybe I was imagining it was more enjoyable :-)

n/a

erm no)) 0-0))

No more candy for you :(

lol

Not if it was very general it wouldn't

Like his screen name? Maybe they don't want to be known by their neighbors just as I don't want my neighbors knowing I am here.....or for that matter....my grandmother, father, sister, mother.....lol the list goes on and I don't want them having my contact info either....lmao!!

Are you in hiding from your grandmother, father, sister and mother that you do not want them having your contact info :P

my point.....maybe the Scotsmen don't want to visit with their neighbors on here as I would not.....it's called being anonymous on a porn site :) Perhaps he should consider posting on the Viewers Forum and let them respond to him rather than asking hosts :) And my final answer to him is yes I do know a couple of Scotsmen on here.....

Phil McCavity?.....ok, old (& poor) joke I know!

LOL

There you are. You answered his question. Now I'm sure the neighbours and families of those two scotsmen still do not know who they are.

It wasn't as if he was asking for names, addresses, ages, national insurance numbers etc

I'm sure with all that porridge most of them are "regular"! :)

LOLLL

Of course! All guys from your place our regular's here! ;-)

sorry I do not trust men in skirts with no pants

hehe...what about girls in short skirts with no pants? ))

good point but they have more attractive parts than the meat and two vegitables or a hairy scot!
