Re: Nail Biter
You should have listened to your liver.
My liver is waving a white flag of surrender as I write.
It is probably just as well England have gone out. It may well have saved me from both alcohol induced hospitalisation and divorce.

Re: Nail Biter
Because in the real game, the Germans weren't drinking.
Aha! Those cunning Germans. Not drinking 6 pints before the match and refusing to ingest or carry more beer whilst actually playing.
Now why didn't the England team think of that?
These fancy foreign coaching methods will never catch-on here.

Re: Nail Biter
If it makes you feel any better, the United States lost to a team that draws its talent from a nation the size of my lower intestine.... twice!
It does actually make me feel a little bit better.
I'm moving to Ghana, and renouncing my U.S. citizenship.
See you there my fellow Ghanain.

Re: Nail Biter
If it makes you feel any better, at least we didn't invent the sport, then lose badly at it.
Hah!! We are well used to that.
Football, cricket, rugby golf and tennis were all invented by us and we get utterly slapped at all of them on a regular basis.
I think it is about time we invented a new world sport. At least we might be the best at it for a week or two

Re: England Victory
England has just beaten Argentina 1-0. *
* Kind of.
I was thinking along exactly the same lines. So we have a moral quarter final victory to console ourselves and with which to convince ourselves that we are once again a significant footballing nation.
Well done Capello and the boys........
