Michael Caine?
Other Germans?
Been away from PC since Friday night so I'll keep this short n sweet...Robert Green I knew there was a reason I didn't have you in my entire squad YOUR SHITand ITV you are too I missed the goal
We were poor all-round, despite the pundits trying to tell us that it was a 'much improved performance'.
Green was obviously the focal point, but equally, why the fcuk was SWP on the left ahead of Joe Cole or Barry (who Capello confirmed was fit)? Likewise, Heskey, I'm sorry, people can claim as much as they like that he had a good game, but you play Heskey and you're forced to play one way, high balls up to him and let him win the flicks and knock downs. Rooney was completely iscolated for most of the game and Heskey gave him scant support.
It would also be nice to have wingers who could actually cross a ball. SWP, no signs of a cross from memory. Lennon, did well generally, but everytime he had to deliver into the box, nothing.
Lampard, largely anonymous.
Carragher, too immobile. Needs to be Upson or even Dawson in there for the next game.
All of that aside, the US played very, very well. We didn't deserve anything more than a draw on that performance and could easily have lost.
On the other matches, Germany were very impressive and I enjoyed South Korea's game against Greece. Argentina were great in the first half of their game, but tbh, only Germany have turned up looking like potential champions IMO.
LOL.^^ I want a vuvuzela.
With the game this morning, all the blame has been on Pim here, and why Harry Kewell or Josh Kennedy didn't play. Anyways, gonna enjoy the Dutch - Danes match
Now they say they don´t ban the anoying horns I thought I would put my thoughts like this:
The vuvuzela poem
The boaring horns of twenty ten
Hope I never hear them again
All game long on and on
Those annoying horns drown songs
In my ears it hurts the most
No more world cups will Africa host!

Opening round of games is always going to be cagey. As things progress games will get better as teams will be needing to pick up points to get through. Problem with the opening games is that no one wants to lose, whereas with the latter games, a lot fo them are must-win.
Ok, time to show some support for the Azzurri.
ITALIA! ITALIA! ITALIA!
ITALIA! ITALIA! ITALIA!

Nah, going to be on the opposite side of this match. I love supporting the lesser South Americans.
PARAGUAY! PARAGUAY! PARAGUAY!
Now, I look at situations such as this, and I ask myself this: what would Berlusconi do?Ok, time to show some support for the Azzurri.

ITALIA FORZA!
BTW, I'm only rooting for Italy until they get out of the groups. Then they have to lose, since I don't want them to be "campioni del mondo" twice in a row.

Netherlands and Denmark was typical of the quality we've seen so far. Japan v Cameroon was soporific. Had me falling asleep at my desk.
I have to work with a woman of Italian descent, and she is one of the most irritating people I've ever known. For that reason, i hope Italy lose in some embarrassing fashion. Not yet though - I want them to fall at the last possible moment in the group stage if anything.
They're playing in hailstones though - brilliant!

With the absence of Turkey the Italians are clearly the World Champions of singing of the national antham.
Yeah they belted that out! Great stuff.
^^
Hehe.
Wouldn't be catastrophic for Italy to lose this game though, although obviously it's not good for the morale. Slovakia and New Zealand especially should be much easier to defeat.

Ha! Terrible defending.
