Mexico v Argentina was maybe the best game at the last World Cup.
Very disappointing national anthems....
Do you think you could get England to Euro 2012 with the huge backroom staff and unlimited resources?
The group is
England
Switzerland
Bulgaria
Wales
Montenegro
Call me an arrogant cunt but I am willing to say that I could do that for half the money. Give me £3 million a year and I guarantee I can get you there and then knocked out the minute you play a half decent team...
2 bad ref calls in one day
England join the wrongly disallowed goal club (which we'll now not here the end of for a good 3 months at least)
Whilst Argentina are awarded a goal which was offside.
Did anyone catch the refs reaction when he say it on the big screen in the stadium and realised he'd made a mistake?
I thought the rule was that they couldn't show a replay in the stadium for this exact reason?
I think there may be a change after today but the thing is that a lot of the fuel that keeps football going for hundreds of hours/pages in the media are the referee decisions good and bad.
At least in both cases the better teams by a mile won.
Watching the highlights - the English defending was fucking atrocious.
These guys get paid 50k a week for fuck sake...
Correction...
Manchester City complete £12m deal for Gareth Barry
Manchester City have completed the signing of Gareth Barry today after Aston Villa accepted their £12m bid for the England international.
The Midlands club confirmed this morning that Barry was in talks with City and the deal was confirmed this afternoon to leave Rafael Benítez, the Liverpool manager, bitterly disappointed at missing out on the midfielder. Liverpool failed with five bids for him last summer.
With Barry due to fly to Kazakhstan with the England squad tomorrow morning, City made arrangements with the Football Association to facilitate a medical this afternoon. The 28-year-old has signed a contract believed to be worth in the region of £100,000-a-week – more than double his current salary.
Barry's decision to move to City will sit uncomfortably with Villa supporters as well as the manager, Martin O'Neill. The former Brighton trainee indicated 12 months ago that the chance to play Champions League football was the motivation for his desire to join Liverpool. City, however, finished 10th in the Premier League, 12 points behind Villa and failed to qualify for the Europa League, leaving Barry open to accusations that finance rather than football has influenced his decision.
O'Neill has said on several occasions recently that no one at Villa would "begrudge" a player who has spent 12 years at the club the chance to play in the Champions League. He had offered to make him the best-paid employee in the club's history with an £80,000–a-week contract but Barry's head appears to have been turned by City's ambitions. The one consolation for Villa is that they have extracted a £12m fee for a player who would be available on a free transfer this time next year.
If you get a chance watch this £100k a week star at the 4th German goal....
Go Germany.

It's as regular as the planets, once every 4 years we have the whining phase.
For at least a week now every media outlet in Britain will discuss in millions of words 'Why are England shit at football?'
The amazing thing is that no matter how many phone-ins, editorials and TV specials there are not a single person in England will remember any of it 2 weeks before Euro 2012 when we again go through the winning phase when the whole country will be absolutely convinced they will win it.
It's a very strange thing to sit and watch time after time over the years....
But Lineker knows the real secret
Soccer is a game for 22 people that run around, play the ball, and one referee who makes a slew of mistakes, and in the end Germany always wins."
LOL You must have the time of your life Sesh!

VIDEO TECHNOLOGY CONFIRMS ENGLAND ARE VERY BAD AT FOOTBALL
28-06-10
ENGLAND are heading home from the World Cup today after state-of-the-art video technology showed the ball crossing their goal line many, many times.
The cameras clearly showed the ball crossing the line for the fourth time
As questions were raised over why the Uruguayan officials had spotted all four German goals, the specially positioned cameras around the Bloemfontein Stadium confirmed that England's 2010 squad will forever be remembered as the 'team that never was'.
The use of television has been a source of controversy in the sport, but experts insist it offers a fool-proof method for determining whether a team is good at football or whether it is simply a collection of absurdly over-compensated, second-rate commercial brands with ghastly, vulgar wives, locked in a sado-masochistic relationship with a cretinous media that merely reflects a society that has taken its natural intelligence, its sense of perspective and its values and violently drowned them all in a bucket of piss.
Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute for Studies said: "The technology is very complex and involves cathode tubes, a large glass screen and pretty much an entire roll of tinfoil.
"The operator sits in front of the screen and if he or she sees one set of players concede goal after goal after goal after goal, the video images then help them to decide whether or not those players are good at football."
Back home England fans vented their fury at the technology, as Paul the Psychic Octopus predicted Fabia Capello would soon be receiving a cheque for £12m and moving to a country where people can understand what he's saying.
Roy Hobbs, a flurry of opinions from Stevenage, said: "Alan Hansen kept going on about how it could have been 20 or even 25-nil and that if he had done that at Liverpool, Bob Paisley would have slashed him across the arse with a machete.
"But I think it could easily have been 70 or even 290-nil. Unless of course Lampard's goal had counted, in which case England would have won 14-2."
Nathan Muir, from Hatfield, added: "Not a good day. And after Sebastian Vettel beat Lewis Hamilton in the grand prix, I half expected to come home and find my missus having a dirty bath with the lead singer of Boney M."
Meanwhile, central defender John Terry finally arrived back in England's 18-yard box last night only to find that everyone else had gone home.
He eventually got out of the stadium after climbing over a fence.
Argentina will win the world cup, guaranfuckinteed!
They are favourites definitely but nothing is ever guaranteed in football.
If Holland were a car they would be a Robben Reliant...
And we're there! We'll meet Natra! Let this be our final battle
you are where you alway are...time to fuck up in the quarters again...

Looking forward to Holland Brazil which is basically the game to decide who plays Argentina in the final.
Brazil are definitely favorites.
.
Hang On,You Are Not Backing the Germans?
I don't think Argentina will be in the final.
Brazil looked like a team of men today playing boys.. I dont see them losing. They will be in the Final for sure..that team is amazing to watch.
EUAS

Any Bets?
Portugal To Beat Spain By 2 Goals.
