Nope, Gerard just scored!

Nice one

Puns and jokes aside here - I've said this before in this thread England aren't good enough to win the cup. I think it's a brave person who'll bet against Argentina at the minute on current form.

There you go, Sweden scores an equaliser.

Damn, and Paraguay 2 - Trinidad 0

One great underdog more that doesn´t make it!

may I repeat what I wrote to you once? talking about immigrant players? watching france vs. the faggerlands is like watching the africa cup...no offense here

OK... Germany-Sweden and England-...Equator!

Might as well say England is through to the quarter-finals.
As for Germany, it will take some effort.

I've just seen the pub tender where I play with my band tomorrow night, at 9 pm...
... just when the ref will blow his whistle to start Holland-Argentina! :eek:

They shouldn't be but they have 3 or 4 players that can score from 30 yards routinely and also have been lucky in every game especially tonight. I worry they might do a 'Germany' and scrape through all the way. There is a lot of talk about Rooney but Gerrard is their best player and although it pains me to say it one of the best players in the world.

Ecuador's defence today was just fucking terrible, I know they rested some players and weren't trying too hard but they look like the weakest team in the last 16 and England should go through.

Assuming Holland don't beat Argentina then it's ging to be up to them to stop England in the quarter finals. They should do so but I worry about their penalty shootout record.

My worry is that Holland are the better team through the game, get a goal and then Gerrard, Lampard or Rooney scores a goal from 30 yards and win a panalty shootout.

The weird thing about England is that they are shit in the 2nd half, this has been going on for a couple of years now. They have the worst manager in the world who seems to fuck up every half time team talk yet earns the same each week as the Sweden manager does in a year.

Bizarre.

Cheers!

You can count on us! We'll beat England easy! BTW that player Crouch, where the fuck is he from? Neverland?

There'll be a wide screen between us. But I asked the bar tender to keep it switched off, which means a great effort on his part...

It's the national music festival tomorrow, you know, so it'll be overcrowded like every year.
The only differnce is that there will be a very large majority of chicks, due to the World Cup - and also because I'm the lead singer.

I'll post some pics in the Archive Bonanza.

That said, I'm pissed to miss the most attractive match since the beginning of the competition.
We thought of playing a bit earlier, or ask the WC organisers to postpone Holland-Argentina.
We're still waiting for a reply.

LMFAO!
No reply? THE NERVE!!!!

I say, why not? But wouldn't I be off-topic?

BTW, I'm really pissed not to see Holland-Argentina...
Seeing Maradona choke on the second Dutch goal should be worth it.
