however Spain still has a strong team and may yet win their group.

I really hope they do...as much as i enjoyed their loss to the swiss.
As I have tickets to the last 16 game that is between the winner of the spain group against 2nd place in the group of death.

So i was looking at a Spain vs Brasil/portugal game.
Now it looks like the swiss might win that group :thumbsup:

Why dont they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff?

I'm inclined to put money on Portugal not getting out of the group. And it's not unrealistic to think that Spain, Chile, and the Swiss all finish level on 6 points and goal differential takes over.

The English are here!!

just saw a pissed reddish pale looking guy walking/stumbling around at the waterfront shopping centre without a shirt on and a huge ENGLAND tattoo on his back.

:thumbsup:

ooooh Germany are falling apart.
Man down
then goal down
then penalty missed....ouch

oooh snap....serbia just won!!!
This group could end up being tighter than I had expected.
If Ghana beats Aus....they will top the group.

Germany will struggle to win the group now. Would be nice for England to win their group, then dump the old foe out ... What would Der Kaiser have to say then?

Get to the chopper!

Podolski and Klose heard the call of blood and played a terrible game. Hah.
The German team can hardly be called "german" anyway. Most of the players are foreign.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

GREECE!!! After that Putrid performance in Game 1 we're back in it. Now if only Argentina complies and takes a red card we should be fine. If it comes down to goals, Eneyeama's spectacular performance yesterday in preventing a third goal may be the difference in us not advancing. I'm just glad we put up a solid performance yesterday and showed we have some pride.

Refs should show more cards like this, really.

But most importantly... diving in the penalty box should mean a red. Peroid.

And.... the US just proved it has the worst back 4 in the tournament.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Wow. I can't believe that just happened.

So, you're the historian who survived the Chain of Dogs.
Actually, I didn't.

It seems you stand alone.
It was ever thus.

Oh my...boys, saign that someone isnt German because he is named Ozil or Gomez. What the f...eh, what do you know about their attitude to their home country? I hate these xenophobic (yeah, its joke, but sometimes jokes end and spite begins) phrases like "The German team can hardly be called "german" anyway. Most of the players are foreign." Were born in Germany? Is Germany their native country? For Caucau isnt, OK. If yes, calm down. But others? Ozil is born as German. Hunt is German. Gomez is German. Khedira is German. I boldly say, that even you (and you and you) had some foreigner in your family tree. Especially in Europe.

Yeah, Im angry, but thats because I hear bullshits like "France national team is not french, look at these niggaz and pakis". In modern society making borders according to name, skin and origin of parents... Is stinks to me.

I think that was possibly the worst performance by an England team i've ever seen. They were fucking dreadful from 1-11, although a special mention on the shitometer must go to Lampard, Gerrard and Johnson, all 3 displaying a touch similar to that of the Yorkshire Ripper.

Truly awful, it was like watching France.

Now all the friends that you knew in school they used to be so cool, now they just bore you.
Just look at em' now, already pullin' the plow. So quick to take to grain, like some old mule.

Good post Ulrik.

And still Cacau has spent most of his life there. Clearly he feels German.

"pseudoscience and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive. Where have we heard it before? Whenever our ethnic or national prejudices are aroused, in times of scarcity, during challenges to national self-esteem or nerve, when we agonize about our diminished cosmic place and purpose, or when fanaticism is bubbling up around us – then, habits of thought familiar from ages past reach for the controls. The candle flame gutters. Its little pool of light trembles. Darkness gathers. The demons begin to stir." - Carl Sagan

Group C is a mess. Hooray for chaos! Third round games up and down the groups could be very tense.

If England draw 2-2 and USA draw 0-0 we get to draw lots.

I am consistently disgusted. If I were less or more drunk, I'd do something. Something outrageous to express my distate. But instead I'll just say it here while I eat a poorly cooked potato.
