Costa Rica bloody hell we had better watch out. What did i say they were brilliant again, another team you give no hope to and wow.
Every game there is a wall of noise. No particular chants for each nation just a wall of noise.A relief to the lugholes when the game finishes.
That's him, Owen. Pte. Ronald McDonald, 'B' Echelon, 15th (Scottish) Division; notice the arm flash worn on his chest... Bet he votes against independence, if he makes it home in time!!! Best, Steve.
A total top down shake up is required to win and let the Country control the premiership so that the Country can come first. At the moment, they lose, hey ho, i'm still making £!!! Million per year playing for my club so no worries. I'm so important, do l care. Sort out FIFA at the same time, please. Crooked? Some of the Refs. in the tournaments have learnt a lot from FIFA. Japan V's Greece was a good example. Will it happen? No, so l will keep laughing when England lose at football. Maybe no different to the Scottish guy. Put me in front of the TV watching England play rugby and see the difference. Real passion, real wish to win and real ability. Love watching it. Football could learn a lot from rugby. I remember sailing into Bodrum a few years ago when England were playing New Zealand in the World Cup. About 20 Kiwi's shouting for their team and the four of us supporting England. One Scot on the side, guess who he was supporting lol We lost the match but certainly won the aftermatch!!!!! REgards, Nick KenFentonsWar.com .
Diane, It could have gone either way. Not much in the first half but the second half livened up and I can understand the fingernails! Top place in Group will be between Germany and the USA I think. Regards Tom
Aye Tom, The first half was dull and complacent. Have to say both teams showed, as Monsieur Wenger likes to say, great spirit, and dug in. Only the youngest stuck with me in front of the TV, the others all cleared off. (Mind, he had headphones on and was playing a game on his computer.) Roll on Thursday then. Pity I missed the match earlier between Iran and Argentina.
Doh ! how embarrassing is this huge mistake,http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/mug-seller-confuses-barack-obama-for-chris-smalling
here are the 'facts', one or two players is an under estimation on my view:- "Steven Gerrard and Roy Hodgson reacted angrily to Harry Redknapp's claim that several of his players at Tottenham would do anything to get out of playing for England. Redknapp, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, said, "I can tell you when I was at Tottenham, when full internationals came around, there were two or three players who did not want to play for England. "They would come to me 10 days before the game and say, 'Gaffer, get me out of that game, I don't want to play in that game'. That was how it was. I'd say, 'You're playing for your country, you should want to play'. "(They would say) 'Nah, my girlfriend is having a baby in four weeks, I don't want to play' and that is the truth, so it makes you wonder. "And I think it's only going to get worse. You see the stick the England players get and they come home, they're earning fantastic money at their clubs, they're all playing in the Champions League. They think, 'Do we need the aggro?'""
I liked Za Rodinu's who should I support flow chart, but how does thinking that diving is for cissies potentially lead to Germany?
anyone seen the whole match of Brazil - Cameroon ? Am I the only one with the feeling that the brazilian (officials) must have corrupted the Cameroon (officials, players , trainer ) ? 1) Neyman NEVER got covered by Cameroon defenders..in fact you see them often move away from him.. so that it appears Neyman "is clever to make himself free" ..and when he has the ball, the one Cameroon sent to him is sure to make the wrong turn , or makes it obvious where to turn so that Neyman makes the "beautiful to the eye" pirouette..THREE times. 2) The fact that Neyman was overly relaxed in playing, and in the corridors during halftime , jokingly , here and there. Not having seen this behaviour in the 2 matches before, and should not be considering a 2-1 halftime score in which cameroon technically could score more goals and mexico and Kroatia wld go on. That is enough to create serious stress....but not with Neyman. 3) After game over..neyman was VERY cuddly and friendly to a cameroon reserve player and both COVERED their mouths when speaking so that camera wld not register what is being said. 4) At the 3-1 Scolari who is a very stressy malicious person on the pitch shows his elation by facing the german cameroon trainer and smiling and sticky his tongue out gesting "ufff.. now I feel confident...finally we get the (projected, anticipated) goals in".. Very odd image. And the german trainer was Smiling/grinning each time the brazil side scored.. (as if..great, for every brazil goal, another 50.000 USD on the bank). 5) Just before the 1-0 of brazil there was a huge foul of a brazil attacker on the left blocking AND holding with both arms a Cameroon defender and thrown over his knee, ..Should have been stopped and yellow card for the brazil player (not Neyman)...but of course NOTHING was supposed to be laid in the path of a first eagerly anticipated brazil goal. This match was fixed and created to make a podium for Neyman to show off his skills. That is my belief. And no better corruptable adversary than an african team..
I don't want to talk about Jaws 3, my favourite moment in this World Cup is Chile and their fans singing their National Anthem, stirring stuff that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I tried to find the version for the Dutch game, but could not: http://www.sportsgrid.com/video/chileanos-bring-down-the-house-with-another-rousing-a-capella-national-anthem/
