Worldcup !

[totalidiot]

That would be nice, seeing that I have deep ties with Spain, but I think that it is a wishful dream.

Anyway, here's to it!

Yeah but where would we be without a little optimism ... :clap:

 

[counter_violent]

You know what !

Spain will be lucky to even get out of the group. Do the math.
Todays matches in that group. Spain v Chile. Swiss v Honduras.
Assuming the Swiss beat Honduras.

OOps wrong thread.

 

[Splitlink]

Thanks for the photos, Markus.

That first Spanish goal--whatever was the Chilean goalkeeper thinking of?

For those of you who did not watch the match, he ran away from the goal mouth leaving it completely undefended.

Don't moan about poor Robert Green, this has to be seen to be believed!

Agreed, it wasn't a very smart move. He was way too far out of the box and made a very poor play for the ball.

Thanks Markus for the pics of the frauleins - very tasty

How about some Brit chicks ?

 

[BSD]

Glad everyone is enjoying the pics

Hehe now for some lovely Brit chicks eh !!!

And to provide some balance, this one's for you Terry:

))

Too bad US are out already, way they played they would have deserved to go further. Great for Ghana of course, last African team onboard, congrats.

Way I see todays re-enactment of that old classic England - Germany today is that with 2 teams like that irrespective of who wins the losers won't exactly have to go stand in a corner and hang their heads in shame.



May the team on better form today win and let's hope we can have a great time in the meantime, we're gonna go out again public viewing later, the atmosphere and party spirit there is always absolutely incredible !!!

Why not give the little blighters a plastic football to kick about ?
Get them converted

But that's good tho ?

Then you can do some public viewing, watch the match together with others ?

You get an ice cold beer, they get some ice cream or sthg.

Win - win methinks.

Btw, hmm, seen this ?!?

Anyway, have fun and a great time with the match all, and good luck to the team that's better today !!!

Teach them the art of negotiation...

Ask the question what would they want in exchange for you to watch the match with them...

Postponed delivery of something bigger and better.

Kids are great at bargaining... Just be careful with what you promise and always haggle them down displaying shock and horror at what they are asking for.

Teach THEM the art of negotiation!? With a Catalan grandmother and mother? I don't stand a chance, mate.

Besides, on second thoughts, I think I'll be better off just missing the match.

Move to Romania where we are 2 hours ahead of the UK and you can take them out for the afternoon and still be back in time for the kick off ..............
