World Cup Football

Yeh England did "ok" I guess. I followed the match on giant screen at silverstone, the atmosphere was great especially when England scored everybody went mad.

I managed to take shot of it but there was much more spectators. Enjoy...

Talk about a misundestanding. If you re-read my post, you will see that I didn't call you "retarted" - that term is reserved to "expert panel" for the Stanley Cup play-offs. A bunch of journalists, ex-players, all pretending to know something, only to find themselves beaten by a random guess made by a monkey (click on the link to read the article).

The odds...well, nobody thought that Trinidad and Tobago would tie Sweden, nobody thought that Portugal would barely beat Angola, that Argentina would barely beat Cote d'Ivoire, that England would barely beat Paraguay, that Poland would lose to Ecuador, that the Dutch would have such a hard time against Serbia/Montengro...and, yet, that all happened. I'm sure you get my point...whether you agree with it or not.

That is always in football. They are dying on the court and the docs come on the field, take a sponge and rubb it over the place where the footballplayer has pain and 2 seconds later they are running again!

yes, that's football half sport half theatre. Ghana played a very good match but not enough to beat italia shame with that penalty not signaled

That is true. They should have got a penalty, but Italy was just too strong. Though you noticed when Totti left the field injured, the Italians lost organisation a bit than.

And the theatre in football has an Italian name

lets see today if france can do well after a disapointing 2002 wc..
btw the new ball has been fantastic .. wonderfull long range goals..

english football style, shot if you can. That way you can see great goals. Today we have a good match France-Swiss and also brazil debut. It's look that they've won the world cup without playing a match (that's not f1 man)

I was reading an article on Msn about the USAs plan for the world cup. They stated it that it would not nessicerally happen but there was a chance. It suggested that after all the cash America had poured into their soccer team they would beat Chez this time and would go on to beat a struggling Italy aswell turning out top of their group. Talk about setting yourself up for a fall.

Stranger things do happen, USA have to believe they can do it not only for their fans, but the invested interest also.....

principessa, its amazing that a chick is interested in both Football and the F1, i suppose you get many marriage proposals........

It would really be a shame if USA did beat us.

Well, I do not know what's about cold water, but I can assure you it works with my children too! And, of course, samba is a religion, not a dance and we haven't heard of agnostics in Brazil...

Where on Earth will you find a town with a stadium just to dance?

johny · Post 13 Jun 2006, 20:59

that's great, but it's harder to dance and have fun in those stands so i find it useless. hope brazil made good football too but the real football will come tomorrow with the spanish team

U think THAT's bad? Watch the England v Paraguay match again. There was a Paraguay player who got touched in the box...dived to the floor screaming in plain, when he sees the ref wave play on he gets up, his team mate takes a shot, and as he sees the shot go wide he dives back down onto the floor!!!!!!! Filthy Bast**d!!!
