Just sent it to every Brit I know!

Against an admittedly poor England team the best you could get was a draw, and even that was down to a very poor goal keeping error.

Good result for Japan last night. Hard lines for New Zealand though - going out, but remaining unbeaten.

One of the best goals so far

The list of brilliant Japanese inventions keeps piling on. Now we can add "Found a way to score on a direct kick with the 2010 World Cup ball."

But like the man said, England was supposed to drill us. Weren't we like 6-1 underdogs? And, also like the man said, soccer is our No. 7 or 8 sport for us

Oh, I admit that. The expectancy was for England to soundly beat the US. But that's the joy of football - you can't predict what is going to happen next. I've seen Manchester United spank big clubs one match, then get spanked themselves by a mid league team in the next match.

While the World Cup is being called boring by pundits here, I'm quite enjoying seeing things not as everyone expected. England being so poor that they only just scrape through, Italy crashing out as bottom of the group, France imploding before the worlds media.... etc

Even Spain still have work to do tonight; no South American team has lost yet at this World Cup and Spain need a win.

After being eliminated from the world cup, Nigeria, Cameroon and Algeria fans are expected to arrive back home in England tomorrow

I hate those fucking vuvuzelas. But if I were attending the games in South Africa, I'd be blowing the everloving fuck out of them!

That sounded weird.

[lesfunk]

You really must like South Africans A LOT!

[Starwood]

Taking your shirt off and kicking a ball back and forth next to a freeway for 3 hours does not make this a sport. That's called EXERCISE.

and wearing a helmet at a game makes you a pussy

Cheers Don To That.

I have a question for the europeans on the board.

How is attending a soccer game in your respective countries?

Is there food available during the course of the game? Tailgating outside? I'm not sure why that's the first to come to mind, but it's been something that's been nagging at my brain.
