I was going to go for Germany, but after todays match I'm not so sure :haha:

Still, it was a better match than the one I've just listened to... :nope:

I expect there will be a bit of Ferguson hair dryer action in the dressing room right now. Not damn enough of it though.

The best part of the game, was reading the texts ppl were sending on ITV:har:

Englands next manager - Alex Ferguson

England - i am now understand that not only your food sucks:D. No racist remarks or personal attack intended, but this is bad and i mean.....BAD.:nope:

Put your money on Argentina :yep:

Go back in the thread and you'll see my reference to 'overpaid under achievers'.

We are used to it....they are all multi millionaires at club level but can't achieve at international level.

You watch it, lay off knocking the fish & chips man. :arrgh!:

Feel free to slag off the useless England team. :rotfl2::rotfl2:

Theres nowt wrong with Black puddin'

I don't think England played badly, Algeria played on the upper reaches of their game and were thus able to deny England the full points haul. These preliminary round games are often really boring and teams are just being strategic and stuff. The real games start later with the extra-time / penalty shootout - games.

That's likely a safe bet.

What's been happening with the big teams, Brazil seemed to struggle in the first half against the DPRK (of all people) before rallying around in the second to score. France is just useless, Germany seems to have stumbled in the latest match. I mean, the last time I followed the World Cup as closely as this (France '98 I think) the giants were Brazil, Germany, and France really.

And Capello hiding behind a translator...please, throw him out. :damn:

Only one word is required
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....

IMHO there are only three teams that can stand up against Argentina. These are, Brazil, Netherlands and England. All other teams don't have a chance. Argentina could easily win them even with their substitutes' team.:arrgh!:

Boring match in all regards.

I'm favouring Argentine, and the Netherlands. Question marks behind Brazil and Germany. France and England already scrapped off my list - they are not one team each, but each of them is eleven teams on the field. And Spain - I have not seen the match, but they had a bad start, too. Can't say. Italy and Portugal seem to be just shadows of their former selfs.

To me, Mexico has been the greatest positive surprise so far, beside the German mauling of Australia. And Switzerland was a surprise to me, too.

We don't differ too much in our asessments then :yep:

:har::haha::up:
