England V USA. Kick-Off 7:30 PM BST :D This could be a very close match. Hope everybody has all their flags up at the windows and in their cars already.

You guys hang up American flags all over England??
-
Really? What sport is it? :P
They were having a World Cup during the 2006 USGP week-end. A group of Brit Williams fans invited me to watch a match with them.
I asked, "What happens if you lose?
"We get p!ssed!"
So I asked, "What if you win?"
"We get even more p!ssed!"
...and that's exactly what we did.
-
Oh yeah, make sure you put up the appropriate flag according to which country you are in - Thanks Scotty ::) :D
There will certainly be a lot of booze flowing over here cos.

I cant wait for the game tomorrow.Im watching it on a 30 foot screen in a big park with 11,000 footy mad bristolians.A whole month of football and beer does life get any better?
-
Come on England!!! :yahoo:
It would be nice for us to say Northern Ireland beat the world champions at Windsor Park in Belfast. :yahoo:
-
My England flag is ALWAYS flying in my garden. :yahoo:

Have any of y'all heard about 1950? :P

Oh, oh...I feel for England's goalie. Only a couple billion people are (or more likely have already) going to see that goal. Absolutely the toughest job on the field is to be the goalie.
On the other hand the USA have only their goalie to thank that it wasn't a 6-1 romp.
-
Just woke up with the worlds worst hangover and this reminder that we through away 2 points in our opening game and that my grid game picks are way off after qualifying the day can only get better
-
That was a pretty lame game of footy.

You are right there Neil, it was a shocker.
Though what do you expect from an ex Norwich City footballer hehe :p

Lame ain't the word Neil. :sick:

OMIGOD!!! Switzerland beat Spain 1-0. Switzerland hasn't beaten spain in the last 19 meetings they had, and Spain is European champion!
There are some drunk Swiss wandering around... :D :D

That's what makes the 'single game' tournaments so intriguing... at this level, any team having a good day should be able to beat a team having a bad day.
On Canadian webboards they're wondering what a soccer coach even does (no frequent substitutions like in hockey or basketball, no complicated play chosen from hundreds like in American football...) he's the guy that makes sure the team doesn't have a bad day.
-
That's because here they don't call them coaches - they call them 'trainers'. Which is more appropriate for the job they do.
Among other things, they train them how to fake knee injuries. :D :D ;) ;)
-
That was a good result that Scotty, well done to the Swiss :good:

I've had one good thing come from this World Cup. When my daughter gets out of line, I threaten to buy her daughter a Vuvuzela.
Other than that.........

I flag for Italy/Brazil/Spain, depending on how they does at their own serie. England has italian coach (Fabio Capello) who has won championships in italian and spanish teams so England can do good result. Yesterday I watched South Africa-Uruguay game and Uruguay was clearly better. Tonight I watch France-Mexico that begins very soon.
Please keep me up to dated how the England game finished! ;)

There are lots of surprises so far.
Germany lost to Serbia 0-1
England draw with Algeria 0-0
Italy draw with NZ 1-1
Portugal beat North Korea 7-0 (I never expected such a big margin)

Your threat may backfire! Your granddaughter could blow the Vuvuzela non stop when she come visiting.

Can't agree that the Portugal result is suprising Judy, I thought they should have got even more, but the rest certainly are.

I agree that Portugal could have beaten them by even more goals but before the match I never expect such a results. They lost to Brazil by only 1-2 (I missed that match) but based on the scoreline with Brazil, I did not expect them to get thrashed so badly by Portugal.

The Portuguese that live in Switzerland are usually the star players on the local teams, they are a football crazy country.
Unfortunately the Swiss lost tonight to Chile 1-0. We are hoping to at least tie the next two games to advance. Pretty amazing the Swiss are even in it considering they are such a tiny country.
-
I guess you guys from US and England must be having a big celebration today, that why I don't see anyone else in the forum. ;)
-
Trust me Judy im celebrating gonna have a stinker of a hangover tomorrow.We made it difficult for ourselfs but at least were through to the last 16.Bring on the Germans.

You sure that's not just the drink talking Greener? ;) :D :DD :DD

If we give away silly balls to the Germans like we did to Slovenia they will punish us. >:D
-
defending champions Italy are out
-
Great, now we're going to get served by p*ssed off Italian waiters when we go this weekend.
-
Wear a Ferrari hat Scott, that might help. :tease:
-
Sound advice Ian, as always :good:

Personally I think you should both wear a pink carnation and carry a newspaper under your arm. :tease:
-
Or you could wear a "I Love Rossi" shirt, but you might have his boyfriend after you. :DD
-
4-1 what the hell was that all about???? :(
-
Ah well David it should have been 4 - 2, a much more respectable score. ;) :DD
-
at least you lasted one day longer
we did
-
Im absolutly gutted yet another terrible performance it makes it worse that we lost to the germans.At least we beat the Auzzies in the cricket (just).Oh well ill be cheering on Argentina now their my pick in the sweepstake in work.
-
Interestingly the Italians seem pretty pleased that the Germans tromped the English. :DntKnw: :DntKnw:
-
Yeah, that was really poor today. Oh well :(
Neil.P
-
I think we were lucky it was only 4-1
-
If Lampards goal had been given it would have been a diffrent story.We wouldnt have taken the risk at the back looking for the equaliser.We were poor but robbed at the same time.
-
I feel sorry you guys from England and US must be grieving over the World Cup exit. I know you guys from England are very upset with the poor refereeing which robbed England of one goal. Argentina was awarded a goal that they don't deserve on the same day. I just heard from the news broadcast that FIFA is now willing to discuss the possibility of introducing goal line technology to overcome the inconsistencies in decisions related to goals.
I think this technology should have been incorporated in the World Cup matches long time ago. In the past World Cup, there were always controversial decision related to goals. At least this time the controversial decisions are not biased towards the host nation, as in the past.
-
I doubt many people in the US know that there is a World Cup on, and that it doesn't have anything to do with sailing or tennis makes them even more confused. :crazy: :crazy:
-
A guy in my bowling league said he likes the World
Cup :good:but he's from the Philippines ;)

The general opinion I've heard around here is, "Good. Now SportsCenter will get back to stuff we actually care about, and we won't have to hear about soccer for our more years."
