I said the same thing to my mate when watching

[Doombrain]

[losCHUNK]

Zidane shouldve got a call up too , i know hes old, hasnt played and probaly still has to serve a 3 match ban but fuck it

[Doombrain]

[DRuM]

Fucking cunting 'horn'ets nest. What an irritating noise.

[DRuM]

On a positive note however,

BBC1 now: Argentina v Nigeria
Followed by BBC2 5pm Canadian Grand Prix qualifying
Followed by ITV England v USA.

My day is sorted.

Argentina look good. I would rather England won the World Cup rather than Maradonna get his fat greasy hands on that trophie again. I like the Argentina team, but I detest Maradonna

[seremtan]

going back to france/uruguay: i'd forgotten diego forlan even existed. last time i heard of him he was famous at manyoo for never ever scoring

i see veron still playing too. also old manyoo

[Ryoki]

You know, other than the fact that it's a low scoring game (but hell, so is hockey), I'll never understand why soccer has just never taken off in the US like hand-egg.

Didn't it have something to do with advertisements, the US channels not being willing to air 45 minutes of uninterrupted match footage?

Also, i'm not overly impressed by Argentina to be honest. Thought they were widely considered the strongest team..? They're missing some killer instinct today or something, i don't know.

*roots for underdog Nigeria*

[Don Carlos]

So this is how we look so far:

Friday 11th:

RSA v MEX
1-1

URU v FRA
0-0

Saturday 12th:

KOR v GRE
2 - 0

ARG v NGA
1 - 0

ENG v USA
1 - 1

Probably that.

greece looked terrible against Korea

[Don Carlos]

Algeria vs Slovenia

Jesus christ...

[Doombrain]

my eyes

[Don Carlos]

Serbia vs Ghana is shaping up nicely though - first real good game so far. None of the first match nerves you would expect. I expect to see a red card in this match as well sooner rather than later

ZING!
