Steeeeeeeeeeeevie G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be fair, I thought T&T were 1) very organised, and 2) very unadventurous. it was never going to be easy to break them down, and had the chances gone our way a 5-1 score would have been a fair refelection.

Anyway, we are through to the next round. COME ON.

God, I wish Gerrard was Dutch :/

Grats on the result. Well deserved, but an uninspired victory nonetheless.

And another Premiership players gets his name written down on the score sheet.

If those Swedes start taking their chances, England are in for a good fight.

To be fair to England, none of the "big teams" have really impressed so far. England, at least, keep clean sheets and win their games, if somewhat ungloriously.

Still, I'd take unglorious English victories over mind-numbingly boring French draws any day.

And now that the wonder kid is back, it's gonna be a whole new ball game.

The "give it to Rooney" ball game

Anyone find those little Budweiser clips on ITV midly amusing? I always think of Alla people when I see them.

"We were supposed to be countries?"
"Yeah, I'm Sweden! Dipluglugluglgu!!"

I was talking to Smash about this the other day.
I hate myself for laughing out loud at them, but they crease me.

"Hi I'm Brad Lescarbo"
"And I'm Hal Butchgrass III"
"We've come all the way from the USA to the quaint town of Germany to bring you every kick, tackle and field-goal of the 2006 World Cup"

"What about that dummy in the first half?"
"Khyeah! How stupid was that guy?"

Hal: "Woah tough play there, but they have those 3rd and 4th quarters left to really get going though."

Hal: "Hey Brad, did you know the fifa world cup has teams from other countries in it?"

"And today, England are playing Trinidad and Tobago"
"Trinidad AND Tobago? Seems a bit unfair to me, but okay!"


Still nothing can beat the extra-time mutli-ball!!

This would be a 1000 fold improvement over the actual announcers is the sad part. Yesterday one of them litterally said about Royal Madrid "Somtimes you need more blue collar workers and less chefs to season the soup because that will make an untasty soup and that doesn't win championships." Then he noticed the first goal of the game had been scored, about 10 seconds after the fact and said "that was just pefectionism".

I did get to see 14 hours on the fact that people occasionally dance like a robot though, that must have tested very well in Tulsa.

Wow really doesn't pay to be into S&M today, a 6-0 crushing by the Argies...

Best performance so far, beating out the Spanish. Holland look comfortable and it should make for an interesting game to see who is going to try and win/lose for an easier draw.

England seem to be taking an amazing amount of flak for what was in the end a comfortable and well desrved victory,sure it took a while for the goals to go in but we where breating chances at regular intervals and bar one goalkeeping mistake never looked under threat, maybe if we beat Brazil 8-0 the press will be satisfied.

I doubt even Brazil could create free flowing attractive football against the sort of all out negativity that T&T have brought to the tournement, and yet they are seen as all conquoring heros, having ammounted less shots on Target than Frank Lampard alone.

I just can't work out why a team would approach thier biggest game ever so negatively and not even try and win it...

Personally i am glad to see the back of T&T and i hope for the sake of the rest of the World Cup that teams like the Switz go with them and then we can see matches where both teams are playing for a win.

Unfucking believable. 3 Red cards in one game. 2 make up calls against the US and the refs decide to take the game out of the player hands. Horribly officiated game.

Thank god for Ghana otherwise we'd be done.

On goalkeepers; It seriously amazes me how far those keepers can send the goal kick. In the Netherlands game, I saw the keeper kick to the opposing 18 from ON THE GROUND in his 10.
Like this Eldy?

Ghana. Wow.

Croatia, sheesh :/
What a let-down after a splendid game against Brazil.

Compliment for team USA for keeping Italy to a draw, as well.

Let's see if Guus can pull it off against the Seleçao!

Ronaldo needs to actually play while eating a hot dog. If I have to watch him ******* completely miss balls, the least he could do is amuse me.

That 2nd Brasil goal was a mile offside.

The standard of refereeing in this World Cup is becoming more of a defining feature than any team's performance.

Disgraceful.

That part of the offside rule - or lack thereof - sucks donkey balls.

Brazil sub-par again. Now a dull France and I'll go and **** myself instead of watching ****** games all day. Blergh.

Let's hear it for D'ick Eggnot.

Yeah, but look at their point of view, they probably could have feilded 5 men and still gone through. They'll pick it up in the next round.

I really thought that Brazil was going to waltz into this and run away with it all. Ronaldo looks like ****, Ronaldino hasn't been much better. I was able to catch the majority of IC vs Netherlands when that was on. It looked early on that IC was going to run away with it, they went up and down against the Dutch. Most of the games though I've missed, which sucks Smiley: cry

Partly, Smash. First goal was poor marking, second one a lucky, not to mention the Aussies were on a kamikaze run. Kewell and Viduka could/should have buried one, too.

And yeah, they'll probably improve. Which they'll need to fence off Argentina.
