The Official 2010 World Cup Thread

agreed that spains football is a joy to watch and they should be getting their stride on from now on.

Their finishing is far from clinical from all the chances they had

Torres is way off the pace

Best not to waste all your goals on lowly opposition.

Exactly why Portugal are going to come back to Earth with a nasty thud.

I'm honestly expecting Chile to win on Friday, as much as I'd like to see Spain and Brazil square off in the last 16.

I can't remember if Id mentioned it, but with Upson we are leading ourselves to our death

I still wish JT was captain, unlike Stevie he's actually got some bollocks

We all knew that JT would still be captain regardless of who wears the armband.

That was a good second round. Argentina, Spain and Brazil looking good, referees going nuts, John Terrys delusions of grandeur and the whole FFF's delusions of grandeur.

Im quite optimistic about England. Before the tournament if you were told that all England had to do was beat Slovenia to progress, you'ld be happy. Just a shame Rooney was run into the ground after his injury.

If he doesn't do the Joe Cole/Gerrard behind Rooney option Im going batshit insane and will smash my free keg of Grolsch that's pretty shit

I've only had a pint of mine as my parents have hi-jacked it and entertained over the weekend, but I wasn't overly impressed either. Can't complain though, free beer is free beer.

The free glass was nice but I don't want a half pint that's half fucking head (weyoooo)

I think we'll win tomorrow, the nerves just haven't helped and I don't think there's ever been so much pressure on an England team before

Hopefully Ghana and Serbia pull through purely so the squareheads crash out, that'd be delightful

This scheduling for final group games is bollocks, I should

a) be watching football now

b) not have to choose between games on at the same time

fuck you Germany/Austria/Peru/Argentina

Didn't you used to have a job, Alex?

I left that awhile ago, got a new job for summer at Royal Mail starting in a few weeks. Move back to London for September/October hopefully, who knows

Evra and Malouda dropped, el oh el

Between losing face and trying to advance at a world cup, there only is one answer. Hes an idiot =)

jazz band

haha good one.

lol france

Can the French just go through on comedy value alone
