México 2-1 Uruguay

losing touch. · **Re: World Cup -** June 22nd 2010, 08:42 PM

I love how Fabio went to the press to criticise John Terry going to the press.

to be fair Terry shouldn't have held a press conference in the first place, meh. i hope England win tomorrow or it'll be beyond embarrassing. what a waste of money..

Come on England!!!! I'm sat watching with chocolate and ginger beer. Hope they don't disappoint!

Gingerbread Latte · **Re: World Cup -** June 23rd 2010, 02:20 PM

England are playing better than the Algeria game but they're still sucking atm.

Oooh and I hope Mexico beat Argentina

Edit avatar · **Re: World Cup -** June 23rd 2010, 02:25 PM

They're a bit more co-operative today

And 1-0 WHOOOOOO!!!

Gingerbread Latte · **Re: World Cup -** June 23rd 2010, 02:34 PM

Thank God Cappello put Defoe on instead of Heskey

Pelios · **Re: World Cup -** June 23rd 2010, 02:58 PM

I really do hope England makes it though.
And we are really screwed with Argentina

Goatboy · **Re: World Cup -** June 23rd 2010, 03:49 PM

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well played, though not brilliant. Bring on the next game!!!! Grrrr!

Lol, when that goal (Donovan's) scored, I was freaking out! It was such a great game. All I can say is hats off to Algeria (though they seemed to not even try to win the game most of the time). And ANOTHER phantom call xD

I can officially forgive Koubilaly for the phantom foul in the box. It didn't actually affect the overall standings. We still ended up first place in the group, so oh well

Gingerbread Latte · **Re: World Cup -** June 24th 2010, 12:22 PM

Hmm England vs Germany. Eek.

Maybe they'll play better if they're against a better team?

Like Algeria, USA and Slovenia aren't exactly known for being the best at football so maybe England thought they were safe and they could mess around and stuff.

Pelios · **Re: World Cup -** June 24th 2010, 06:58 PM

I wanted USA to play against Germany that would of been a good game. But I don't know I have a feeling Germany is going to win, the way England has been playing...

oooh i didn't realise mexico are playing argentina. so if you guys beat them and we beat Germany we play each other!.. i think. haha. it's so complicated.

Lu82 · **Re: World Cup -** June 25th 2010, 12:51 AM

Can somebody tell me why Mexico keeps playing againt Argentina and we always lose? thats not fair.Why Argentina again?

Edit avatar · **Re: World Cup -** June 25th 2010, 08:53 AM

^ God knows. Football confuses me. I know it's good if England get the ball in the goal, and bad if the little flag goes up or the other team score

Keep Calm and Eat Cake · **Re: World Cup -** June 25th 2010, 04:45 PM

Ahhh the match against Germany I can't see going well...

Goatboy · **Re: World Cup -** June 25th 2010, 06:58 PM

Someone plz explain to me what the Chilean gaol-keeper was doing

Pelios · **Re: World Cup -** June 25th 2010, 07:02 PM

^ Me!
He wanted to "look" all bad ass and be a hero my going half way into the field not really a smart move especially for the captain.

Lets hope so. Kind of shocking we only drew against the USA, we should have slammed them.

Very disappointed with our performance so far, COME ON BOYS! Wednesday was a massive improvement, Rooney looked a lot better and ffs will we pleeeease keep Heskey off!

Looking forward to Sunday, though I think we're going to get knocked out soon

oooohh. noo not liking that Germany/England prediction haha. i'm glad Ghana got through, good to have an African team still in it!

Toast · **Re: World Cup -** June 27th 2010, 12:13 AM

Lol did anyone see the Netherlands-Denmark game? I loved the keeper's reaction when Denmark scored on themselves. I'm actually not watching any of the games but I've seen bits. I'm glad but not surprised that Netherlands is through, we have a pretty good team. (Because Canada fails at soccer Netherlands are my team). I really should watch more though, soccer players are often attractive :P

I disagree, I have nothing against Ghana but if the last African team went out the vuvuzelas may have shut up for once!

Meanwhile I am stuck at home this afternoon because of poor weather and a poor bank balance so it's the tv with a few cans for me

edit: I can't see Mexico beating Argentina, I don't think they're clinical enough infront of goal. In turn this is also England's problem. Heskey is an offside magnet and Rooney needs to start on the bench - no man is bigger than the team and he's been very disappointing. I'd put Defoe and Crouch to start

But the vuvuzelas are awesome! They make the atmosphere there.

If by atmosphere you mean a constant drone which never varies in pitch and is louder than a pneumatic drill then you're right

Goatboy · **Re: World Cup -** June 27th 2010, 01:33 PM

All I can say about the England vs Germany match is that I fully understand why many people can't bear to watch it.
I'm definitely going to be on the edge of my seat throughout.
Fingers crossed for victory

England have been cheated out of a goal! It was in

Stupiddddddd ref, stupid!!!!

That was not the ref's fault. The linesman is responsible for that kind of thing.

It should have been a goal but, if you were to believe the commentators, the Wehrmacht have just been seen goose-stepping down Marble Arch!

Goatboy · **Re: World Cup -** June 27th 2010, 03:27 PM

Just as I feared. England is a mess, seriously where is the organisation?
Bah, can't be bothered to watch any more, it's finished!

Yeaah I agree but the ref was the one who ruled no goal, so

In the end though England just lost it completely. I have given up watching, its appalling.
