Too ture. I was watching that France v Ireland match. I even started a thread about it here, thought it was utterly appaling and proof that the crusty old dinosaurs running FIFA need to introduce video replays.JourneyThroughHell said:
Germany have been entertaining to watch in the last couple of tournaments. I like them and root for them nowadays (though thier early 90s team was horrible to watch...bloody divers!)HK_01 said:I'm very pumped about it, just like everyone else here in Germany seems to be. Normally I don't care about football, but this is different.
Oh, and Germany will win
Of course, watching the SA/Mexico game now and loving how Mexico playing attacking minded and risky even if they are having trouble finishing.
Hope England win, we can beat any team on a good day, have a great manager and some of the best players in the world but being realistic I think most we can hope for is a semi final loss on penalties(probably to the bastard Portuguese). Also if Hesky gets a start tomorrow I'll loose even more faith. Would love to see a game versus the Argentinians though.
Don't think SA will get past the group stages to be honest and whoever decided those horns were a good idea needs to be shot in the face.
EDIT: All that being said brilliant goal from SA just there

First of all, I demand that someone creates the Escapist Football Group (or at least World Cup group), because that would be sweet.MiracleOfSound said:
Second of all, yeah, I never got that one either. Why, in the holy name of everything, can't you include video replays? What sort of frozen, small-minded brain would refuse to take out the element of referee mistakes, because that's sort of what kills football in my country.
Because of stuff like that I don't watch football that much anymore. At least in F1 (my new favourite "sport", hello) everything is fair. Mostly everything. [http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns22275.html]
I would pay money to see the USA win the world cup just to see the worlds reaction.
But that will never happen and even if it did around 5 or 6 Americans would know/care

I don't know much about it, but my art teacher just changed her relationship status to single and when asked why, she said it's the world cup and her husband has gone missing...is anyone feeling like that?
Afraid not chum, the '5th worst in tournament' was just something I read in the paper, from a sports correspondent trying to get the point across that England are not going to win the World Cup..Spinwhiz said:
I really don't understand the hysteria that crops up every four years. We English are some of the most cynical people in the world, and yet when the World Cup comes around again we throw it all out the window and try to convince ourselves that we might win. We won't. We don't win things. We're always lose to cheats like Argentina or Portugal, or we go out on penalties to the Germans in a semi-final. It's a national tradition!
i hope engaland trash USA, then engalnd get trashed by france who will get trashed by germnany who will be trashed by italy who will be trashed by argentina etc etc
