Worldcup !

[rathcoole_exile]

is anyone seriously looking past Argentina ?
their name's been on the Cup since before the tourno even started

Well, the BBC phone-in says that Cameroons play was not very expert but I say that enthusism gave us a good game. They were up around the Danish end and banging away at the goal, the Danes winning by skill in the end. If we had had a little of Cameroon enthusism in the England team, we would have won.

I think a lot depends on whether or not Maradonna behaves himself. He may go off on one and stir his players up the wrong way.

Apparently they don't have much time for him as a coach anyway. Not surprising bearing in mind his druggie antics of years gone by.

Great player but a fool as a person and a coach.

Quite funny to listen to Alan Hanson trying to explain Rooney's lack of ability
1. Is the lad upset about something ? - no bed time story ?
2. Has he a mystery illness ? - probably groin strain ? those birds really take it outa one
3. not being paid enough ? - only 1 suitcase full of dough
4. bored ? - with that standard of play not surprising
5. drink/drugs ? - always mumbles. except the F***** word
6. been nobbled by the Argies ? - already dreaming of his estansa in the Malvinas ?
7. Crapello said something nasty ? - usually does if you can understand it.
8. ??????????????????

I have seen Barça lose when Messi has been playing but I would not trust to luck this time

I'm banking on Spain or Argentina.

Capello left Real Madrid under a cloud. Why did FA take him on?

Well, it certainly wasn't because of his linguistic skills.

Only little Portugal creeping in with better odds - a 2 way outsiders bet ?

Maybe its those awful vevuzelas - bring back the moronic chants I say

Those things really are one heck of an earsplitting nightmare, dunno where on earth they get the energy / air from to blow into em nonstop ???

Don't worry, Rooney will always oblige.

World Cup 2010: France players in mutiny over Nicolas Anelka exclusion
France's World Cup team refused to train today in protest against Nicolas Anelka's expulsion from the squad.

Unbelievable lol !

Complete and total chaos.

The trainer should fire everyone acting the goat, and if no one is left to play so be it.

 

[Ambrose Ackroyd]

The French cheated their way to the World Cup ( ask the Irish )and they are now receiving their just desserts.

You are soooo pessimistic.

Over Capella's dead body.

There, that's better!

The England team went to visit an orphanage in South Africa this morning. "It's good to put a smile on the faces of people with no hope, constantly struggling, and facing the impossible" said Jamal Umboto, aged 6.

 

[BSD]

Lol redart that could apply to the German team too I think.

Hope these girls won't have to shed some tears on wednesday.

Portugal did great against North Korea, 7 - 0 !!!

Still think the North Koreans should collectively apply for asylum now, otherwise they'll probably get fed to Baby Kims piranha pool.

I am not pessimistic.

I want England to lose to Slovenia so we can be done with this ridiculous farce once and for all.

They were only playing a bunch of illiterate farm boys ffs.

And Slovenia are only playing a bunch of illiterate morons tomorrow.

Good omen for Slovenia, I hope.
