all the latest world cup news




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

tables and results

alan, i have similar feelings about totti (or twatti as he known to us). i was very annoyed that he he didn't lose his race against time. i was hoping time would have put up more of a fight and kept him injured !!!

Still think that Spanish bird in the picture above is a bloke.....

Bloody good figure for a bloke !!

yeah, i would , too, jimmy ;)

ttt

only a few hours to kick-off ........ i'm soooooo excited i think i might make a mess in me pants !!!

Would you believe it? I will miss Ing-ur-lands opener tomorrow!!!
Life just aint fair.

Got lotsa beers riding on Costa Rica and Ecuador winning tonight. Please....!

greystone...i fancy costa rica to win 2-1...that german team is unterhose

windsorgolf - I'll be happy to settle for that but it would be great if Paolo Wanchope could score - a hat-trick preferably - :-)

Greystone, Paolo scored 2/3 - not bad - ex-Rams centreforward - seen him play umpteen matches - he can frustrate you one minute - and then tantalise you the next - a true enigma!!

a very tasty start to the tournament. the germans looked fairly strong although it was against weak opposition. anyone who has klose as tournament top scorer must be very happy.
ecuador and poland both looked useless but i think the polish manager picked the wrong team for the game. the poles looked a better outfit with the team that finished the match and i expect a better performance from them in the next game.

Yep, they might manage a draw.

With a favourable ref, of course. :-)))

We have a big Ecuadorian population here and they were partying into the early hours... Its only the second game they ever won in world cup finals.

Predictions for today please.
I'll go 3-1 to Ing-ur-land.
Goals from Owen, Crouch and Terry.
Next!

Four - nil England.... ;-)

Owen, Owen, Lampard and Owen.

i'll have the draw. good luck .

Stupid ref not allowing the players to grab a quick squirt of water.

Cracking game between Argentina and Ivory Coast (2-1) ... Glad we're not in that group. ;-)

excellent. Top of group and we did'nt even score a goal.
IN_GHERRR LAND
makes you proud
LOL
