We need one more goal!
Seems like the US is through.
Edit; the US and UK are through to the next round.
Wow, extra time American goal :eek:
USA go through and top the group in a last gasp goal!
Seems they deserved the win - hit the woodwork and had a goal disallowed.
~
England a more solid performance - a lot of chances created - some very positive moments.
At least we are through, well done to the yanks as well.
Germany - England!
:-)
Got through in spite of being jobbed out of two game-winning goals. The US defense is pretty suspect though, so I don't expect great things.Quote:

Yeah.. I guess that means game over for England pretty soon.Quote:

Could be a tight game.
England always play at approximately the level of the team they're against.
Yeah but come on they had a fairly good shot of getting through anyway :)Quote:

Yeah and if Australia hadn't gone into the game against Germany expecting to lose and hoping to draw they might have avoided the lopsided result which ultimately ruined any chance of advancing. Pim Verbeek had a negative attitude to that game and passed it onto his players.Quote:

And then again, we might not. Difficult to say what to expect from this team.
Am I correct that in group F, ITA and NZL have exactly the same amount of points etc, and if this stays the way it is, there will be a lottery?
Yep, as things stand they have the same points and same GD. Normally in that situation it's the team that has scored more goals that is placed higher, but they haven't even got that to separate them. :bulb:
However, with NZ vs Paraguay and Italy vs Slovakia taking place now, there'll have to be a difference.
Have to be.
Or I'll be a-givin' birth to kittens in the morn'.
Slovaks score ... Italy virtually out :eek:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQEtw1b8w3I
Youtube has added the vuvuzela button...
2-0!! Holy crap!
edit: 2-1 ... Italy needs one more goal
Slovakia dump the reigning Champions, Italy, out of the competition 3-2. :bulb:
Italy last in the table.
NZ fail to qualify, finishing 3rd after a goalless draw with Paraguay. :(
Great game.
That number 18 for italy, having a fit on the floor after someone pulls his shoulder, even though he has just hit the goalie in the chest... tut tut. The great stinking soppy vagina was crying at the end.
I was not unhappy with The Netherlands tonight, not quite where it should be but at least Robben got to play and 9 points also isn't a bad result :)
Yep a perfect 9 for the cloggies. :)
You've got Slovakia on monday. They put Italy out. Will be a tough match methinks.
Indeed. The Slovaks hopefully will play attacking football and not dig themselves in as Denmark and Japan did.
Portugal - Brazil this afternoon :up:
Aye Porto v Bra should be one of the highlights of the tournament.
It's not proving to be a good tournament for some of the top European nations ...
Since we don't have a vuvuzela thread.Quote:
German police say an American got so fed up with the constant mosquito-like droning from his neighbors' vuvuzela plastic horns that he threatened to kill them with an ax.
Police in the Bavarian city of Weiden said Friday the 45-year-old man confronted his neighbors during Thursday's Netherlands-Cameroon World Cup game wielding the ax. They say he was so sick of the constant buzzing and honking from the vuvuzelas since the tournament began that he screamed: "I will kill you," and then returned home.
German authorities took the U.S. Army civilian employee into custody and turned him over to U.S. military police. The military says he has been released and the matter is in German hands.
Prosecutors are investigating whether to bring charges.
:haha:Quote:

After this Portugal-Brazil tie I must say I feel The Netherlands shouldn't particularly fear playing against Brazil.
Yeah, I'd like my 90 minutes back please, that was a farce.Quote:

USA and Ghana just about to begin - should be a good 'un. :)
Saw Clinton in the stands, hand on heart, singin I say can you see.
Clint Dempsey had tears in his eyes. You yanks are weird. :bulb:
I flipped on ESPN, thought I might watch a minute. It wasn't on, even though they are the only people who have been airing the World Cup besides the Spanish channel (sucks for anyone who doesn't have cable who might want to watch). So now my son is watching it in Spanish.
I did, however, find out that it is on a regular broadcast station, so I might switch. Or not, I'm not terribly interested.
That was a quick goal. ABC is airing the USA vs Ghana game, lolli.
Yeah, I found it. The vuvuzela sound is less irritating on Univision.
Hmmm I wonder if the US will get its act together in the second half.
Commercial break, drinks anybody ?
Penno!
Well, the US should have wrapped this up.
