germany 2006 begins in a few weeks. time to get a thread going for anyone's thoughts and opinions.

all the latest world cup news




ah ......the beautiful game!! joga bonita!!

tables and results

Czech arent doing great.

Ghana's win is what makes the world cup exiting, if they carry on playing like that they have just as good a chance as anybody.

I thought the czechs would be one of the favorites to win, it just goes to show.
I think i'll put a small bet on an outsider this year.

England perhaps ?

;o)

De Rossi - what a loon!! Clearly not blessed with too many grey cells.

Barclay go for Ecuador!! De rossi a bit wild i agree. hopefully the us can win now, easier to beat in latter stages than italy.

Oops and then Mastroni has a rush of blood to the head! 10 v 10 both sending offs totally correct. What next?

what a very strange and weird game that was!! all the red cards totally justified, de rossi should be sent home in disgrace. pirlo should be sent home for being shit and for playing an unbelieveable amount of hospital balls. the yanks should be sent home for not grasping fifa's latest directive that lunging tackles are a no-no. the linesmen should be sent home for not understanding that level is now ONSIDE. very disappointing performance from italy, we now need to beat the czechs to stay in the tournament and to avoid meeting brazil in the next round.

Bosley not looking good for you. However, for anyone who managed to get a bet on David Villa when I said then its a certain thing (Golden Boot).
Roon back on the mend and Stevie G on superb form, Its Englands year. First Rugby, then the ashes, probably not Wimbledon but definately the World Cup.

another one to qualify

Was it Torres who scored two last night?

I believe so, GD.

this game has got "draw" written all over it.

Well done bos ,keep them coming ,(the birds i mean) .

Gerraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddd

Larsooooooooooooooooooonn

Thank you Jinky Joe! ;-)

the swedes do love these, don't they !!! second time they've got through with one.

Only one England starting eleven for me now, if Owen is out for the tournament.
Robinson in goal, Beckham right back, Cole at left back, Terry and Ferdinand (if fit - Campbell if not) at centre backs. A midfield (left to right) of Cole, Gerrard, Lampard and Lennon. Rooney and Crouch up front.
Walcott ready to get involved when Rooney tires or Crouch looks to be not good enough.
With a question mark over Crouch, that team still looks good enough to go a long way. Pace on the right, trickery on the left, proven goalscorers in front and in midfield and an apparantly solid defence (though you wouldn't think it from last night).
Alan

Well gerrard must be thinking what a bunch of retards the defenders are,beckham out of his depth now a days,,lennon & theo,,give them a game sven.

Your winning but not playing well,could be a lot worse.

Come on argentina do me proud.

Portugal doing well also.
