If you can't beat them....
Join them... I don't really care for football that much, I think they're all a bunch of overpaid sissy's. Seriously, sneeze in one's direction a little loudly and he's rolling on the ground screaming like his leg got cut off, they seriously need to harden the fuck up. Anyway.... I'll probably just watch the games by The Netherlands, and see how far they'll get. Which will probably be the game after the group games, where they'll be thoroughly pwned. Bunch of overpaid sissy's.... *grumbles some more*

I will be brief

No.

Re: I will be brief
I agree with you, they shouldn't earn as much either.

Re: Goal keepers are supposed to STOP the ball...

Re: USA should be 3-2
AZPaul3 writes: So for Team USA we need England/Algeria to have the standard 0-0 soccer outcome (boring) then go on to beat Algeria later on, yes?
No, you need England to win. That gives you a better starting position when facing Algeria.
Not that I've become the least bit interested in any of this silliness, mind you. Just asking if my assessment of the situation has any intellectual merit.
Nope.

Re: USA should be 3-2
AZPaul3 writes: How so? If England wins that gives them 4 points at the top of the group with Slovenia then USA third. An England tie puts Slovenia at 4 with England, USA second at 2 each. Where is the advantage in an England win?
Yes, you are right, my bad. I though Slovenia had tied their first game. Anyway, you were right, it's 0-0. I'm sorry to say this brit blokes, but damn that was some sucky play.

Yep. we did it again. Two wins for The Netherlands so far. Yes, the actual game sucked balls, but hey, at least we got the result.

Well, the French are out. Must make the Brits happy. Might soothe the pain of them having to pack their bags as well tomorrow.

I stand corrected. Still, best of luck to you guys, although I must say it isn't looking good.

The Germans are through as well, and will be facing England in the next round. That should be quite a game to watch.

So far so good
That was an entertaining first hlaf. I thought Ingerland was going to get thoroughly pwned by Ze Germans, but they really came back into the game. Shame of the second goal for England, this is why we should get electronic aides. Anyway, I hope the second half will be just as exciting.
