World Cup 2010 - South Africa Thread

If we beat Slovenia as well, I think it is.

You have to beat Algeria first!

 

[Skywalker]

Well, too bad for the USA. I hope they make it into th 1/8 finals even more now. And correct me if I'm wrong, but if they beat Algeria next week, that's entirely realistic still, isn't it?

If we beat Slovenia as well, I think it is.

Yeah, my hope now is that England come out and beat Slovenia. Go, Mother Country, go!

But they have to get past Algeria, first. No offense to the Algerians, but England should at least get one point out of that match.

I know, I know!

It's ironic that, once again, a match involving England is so important for US chances.

ETA: And another thing. The US may not be a dominating team, but all the games we've been in so far have been exciting as hell. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

 

[Shaytan]

This World Cup is beginning to be exciting

 

[QCzar]

Shit. Fuck. Crap. Motherfucker!

For what it's worth, Slovenia is a surprisingly (to me) good team. Now that our showdown is over, I'll definitely be watching them.

Serbia should have gotten a few more in those last 10 minutes.

Only need Australia to beat Ghana later on and that group's wide open going into the final round of games.

Absolutely Australia must win. But there is a story here, that we went out early it wouldn't hurt the sport, as it's one of the most competitive sporting landscapes here. Well that is what the head of the FFA said.

That's my current prediction, based on the events so far. It may be a bit wishful thinking in places (England getting to the final being the biggest), but it's far from being in complete dreamland.

Netherlands throwing out both Italy and Brazil doesn't strike me as entirely realistic. I could be wrong, of course.

 

[Shazam!]

England are the only team in the world who make Algeria look good.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Yeah, I'm not impressed at all so far.

 

[Shazam!]

Seriously guys, Heskey has no place in this team.

Bring Joe Cole on, put him on the left and Gerrard behind Rooney.

Pleeeeeeease : (

 

[Whizzer]

Well this seems like it will end 1:0 for someone, not very pretty football by the Lions though

 

[ITL]

What a woeful first half that was...

 

[Shaytan]

It's boring.

 

[Shazam!]

This is actually ridiculous. Seriously, Capello, WTF.

 

[Shazam!]

Well, this is gonna be 0-0.

 

[HappyDayRiot]

This is truly appalling. SWP and Defoe? Really? This is exactly the kind of game Crouch would win. And those centrebacks...

Woeful.

 

[Roger Wilco]

I'm really sorry, Englanders, but that's a pathetic performance, even if by some miracle your team scores a goal 20 seconds after I hit "post quick reply".

 

[ITL]

England were fucking pathetic tonight. They played like a fucking Sunday League team. Awful. Just awful.

 

[Shazam!]

Fuck me.
