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

Come on the argies

Bosley is there any sort of definition for , in Italian definately not spelled correctly, Ma fung go? or thats how it sounds.

anyone think we can beat the argy bargies or the krauts?

Who's winning

Stupid italia. zambrotta , toni and some other , 3 nil up.

Thinking now I would have preffered argentina, podolski ballack are both incredible players and Klose is also very good. Add in the fact that they are the home nation then it will be a tough final.

mr potts, va fangulo. means f*ck off, (or , go f*ck yerself).

very comfortable game for italy, even better knowing the germans had 120 minutes and penalties to go through. fantasic performances from gattuso, cannavaro and zambrotta. very , very happy to see luca toni get off the mark. we just need pirlo and totti to get their feckin' acts together that'll be the end of the germans!!!

first semi-final of 2006 is

the germans



versus the azzurri

happy to be meeting the germans and not argentina. the germans look very beatable to me. it'll be the biggest test of the tournament for cannavaro and buffon keeping klose and podolski out but the italian goal looks pretty impenetrable at the moment. gattuso wil shackle ballack. you never know, totti and pirlo might actually play well for a change ........

It's looking more and more like an Anglo-Deutchland Final now. I've had this feeling, all along.......

dont worry , markus, that feeling will be gone tomorrow ;) good luck.

the germans arent beatable unless you really kill em 3-0 or 4-0.

It fixed, the ref was such a 2nd half homer. I know he cant really change the result, but he can do his best to influence it and today he did.
The Argies had a clearcut pen.

Mind you gve the way they were after, espceically that Manshite Heinze im glad they lost.

Maybe a greater medal awaits Lehman!!!!

Agree for once Pommy ... there was one instance where Argies should have had pen at a a corner , ref had a long look but but thought sod it.

Glad Gerries won , wanna see a repeat of 66 .... without the blind Russian linesman :-)

pommy, dil, in every tournament i have ever seen the host nation gets a few dodgy decisions. the germans have now had theirs. fifa are happy that the hosts are in the semis, it keeps interest alive, but we will beat them.

Come on England !!!

Have i got the right picture ,the trainers tracksuites look a bit dated.

Call those suites?
They look more like numb bum thingies to me.

Gordon Bennett! Still nil points :S

Well, if England survive the penalty shootout, the good news is that they will be without Looney in the Semis, what a wan***r!

So................is Andy Murray going to win Wimbledon?
