Now I know you guys in the US couldn't give a s**t about the World Cup, but I'm amazed that there's been no discussion on this.

I've just watched the highlights of the Italy/USA and Brazil/Oz games - you guys must be really pissed!!

Can't wait for England vs Sweden tonight...

How about Spain? 4-0 in the debut, and 3-1 yesterday overcoming an initial 0-1 in the very first minutes...


As always, they create a lot of expectations to be defeated shamefully in "octave-finals"... (how do you say it in english?)

Quarter Finals Raul.

I watched Spain last night and couldn't believe how ineffective they were until they finally broke through in the 80th (?) minute.

Exactly. Nobody ever imagined Tunez would score a goal so quick and would be so good defenders, but I knew that as soon as Spain was able to score, the rest would come in a row as Tunez' moral would come down. We are used to such a tragic ending...

Well, since our evil and cunning plan to put a Swede(!) in charge of Englands(!) national team has worked out so well, I´m not too worried about the outcome of the game tonight ;D :-*

Go Sweden!

Germans 1 up after 3 minutes (don't we just love the Germans?)

If it stays like this, a win or draw will pitch us against the mighty Ecuador in the next round.

Just shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic fellas... sooner or later your teams will have to face the mighty Azzuri.

They've got that ugly U.S.-style game behind them, its a charge to the final.

Argentina looks very good too, they play a sweet game.

 ;D  I'm sad to hear somebody has stolen our evil plan and ran with it. We've already infiltrated the teams of Trinidad & Tobago, South Korea, Australia and Togo.
Our second part of the plan was to get all these teams into the second round, and having them eliminate Sweden!

I've heard 86% of the Dutch think Brazil is going to win the woldcup, and i'm one of them. Argentina looks strong too.

Well, as it turned out it will be Swedens job to kick some German-a*s on sunday!
Knew we could trust our infiltrator Svennis to keep England from defeting Sweden once again ;)
Was it in 1967 or -68 England won the last time? Wasn´t born then so I can´t remember ::)

Anyway, good luck on saturday, see you in the final!

Ps. Rooney did a hell of game, really understand his emotions when he was taken out. Ds

I fancy the Swedes against Germany to be honest. Should be a good game.

Ecuador sounds like another dull 1-0 to England...

Who would we play after that?

Well as you all are aware, (apart from perhaps my insular American cousins, even though the USA is competing) Australia is the greatest sporting nation in the free world.

Now although many of us here are still somewhat homo-phobic, we were pleased that the members of our tiny gay community have found enough like minded souls to play a sport that they can play with their pants on, and have actually qualified to play against all their effeminate little friends around the world in the heart of "Poop Chute Lovers Central", Europe.

Surprisingly, our "Footer-fags" have done very well so far, first qualifying against Uruguay, then beating the pants off our little yellow friends from Japan. We weren't at all concerned about Brazil's homo's beating our girlie-boys, because they're recognised as the "champions" amongst the limp-wristed "round-ball" set.

We're all cheering for them, ("Rooting" means something entirely different in Aussie slang) when they play Croatia, and are expecting at least a draw, and maybe even a win? We'll see of course, but the main thing for us of course, is that in this age of politcal correctness, even our minorities can participate in sporting activities against their own kind, without being summarily beaten, or even lynched by crowds of rednecks for their otherwise questionable sexual preferences.

Just remember that if you attend any of these matches, it's advisable to remain seated at all times, preferably until all the other "fans" have gone home......... Ha ha, Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

"Crazy is a very misunderstood term, it's a fine line that some of us can lean over and still keep our balance" (thanks RB550Four)

Terry, you remind me of that character in "American Beauty". You know, the homophobic army man. As him, you are homophobic and work in the Army. Well, you've seen the movie, haven't you?   ;)

ITV had Shane Warne as a pundit for the last Aussie match...

We were subjected to his in-depth knowledge of the modern game (and his woofta haircut)...

He may be a god in the world of leather and willow, but a footy pundit??

The US team is over rated, what was it ranked, something like #5 comming into the tourney?  I don't think we have a chance to get to the second round. We havent even scored a goal yet!  That goal we have is from the opposing team!
Let's see we have to beat Ghana and Italy has to defeat the Czech's.  Ghana's boys have speed on their side and they don't get tired easily.  We have pretty good D, but our offense is #$%*e.  Our passing sucks and we don't get good shots at goal.  One on one though, we have some kids that can play.  But once the ball leaves their feet, the pass is usually intercepted or blocked.  The Italy v. Czech game should be pretty good.  Just as long as it not officiated like the US v. Italy game....That was horrible.
I don't like hatin' on the US, but I call em like I see em.  It hurts me to watch a game with the likes of Brazil, Spain, Argentina, etc because their so good, and their game is on such a higher level, while were stuck on the ground floor.  

I'll still watch the US match though.  Isn't it my duty as a citizen to show support for the national team and mabey get into a few fistfights over national pride? ;D

I always watch the USA matches because they have our Bobby Convey on the left (and Hahneman in goal if he ever gets a chance).
