Help
I guess Heskey put to bed any lingering rumours about a 'lack of impact' in South Africa...

Well... We'll see. If Heskey is able to inspire Rooney to go and score a whole bundle of goals, I will never say another bad word against. Heck, he can recite poetry on the pitch to Rooney if it will help him score more...

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.

Excuse me? You don't think the US is the clear favorite for second position in the group? Not to say that it probably won't happen, because we are known for playing like shit and getting stupid fucking red cards and the like, but everything I've read has the US as second favorite to get out of the group, behind England.
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....

Nah. I mean they probably should go but Algeria are a decent outfit and it's not at all cut and dried, it wouldn't be anything like shocking if they didn't go through. There seems to be a tendency to overrate the US nowadays because of the Confederations Cup but the thing to remember about that is that they cared and Spain and Brazil didn't so much.
The real shocker in that chart is New Zealand going through. In fact both their group and group A are all wrong.

It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.

I'd be more surprised if New Zealand qualified than if Serbia got to the final, yeah.

I'd like to see both those things happen actually. Would make it more fun!

The U.S. have a solid team and should give England all kinds of problems. Algeria is a joke, and will be lucky to even get a point in the group. Slovenia? Who knows... But yeah the chart is funny for sure. France crashing out hard and maybe Portugal. Chile should go second behind Spain. I don't expect much from Germany this time around, which probably means semis...

Well that was a bit of an anti-climax.
Great opening show, decent first game and then the French come along and ruin everything with their gallic indifference and all round shiteness. Absolutely no urgency at all in what may well turn out to be one of the toughest groups to get out of.
Meh.
Or should that be Merde ?

That France Uruguay game was painfully shit. The French just didn't seem as if they really gave a shit, aside from Diaby bizarrely, who spends every single club game looking like he doesn't give a shit normally.

Yeah first game was alright. Sweet opening goal. The SA keeper was pretty impressive in the opening 20 minutes or so. France/Uruguay ugh...I passed out during it. Which had as much to do with it's lameness as the alcohol consumed.

Sorry mate, I never watch opening ceremonies these days. Ever since the Sydney Olympics opener gave me a massive cultural cringe and I realised I honestly couldn't give a shit about all that razzmatazz. Should just have some cool elder statesman say "Play hard, play fair, get on with it" and go straight to the first match.
I must admit I was expecting a little more from the Frogs. But then again, rereading the previous sentence, I realise where I screwed up.
Good thing I have Monday and Tuesday off.

I didn't see it myself, but a woman at work who did labelled it "the biggest piece ofshit she'd ever seen."
So there you go.

Algerie qualified over Egypt, who won the African cup of Nations these past three tournaments.
