If you're waiting for the World Cup DVD box set, look away now

England just went through to the next round (yay! yay! yay!), and USA staged an 11th hour 59th minute goal to make it through at the top of the group...

The whining taffs and jocks wont like the result, well f*ck em

Just need Ghana to draw with or beat the Germans tonight, and for Serbia to dump the aussies out and it will have been the perfect day.

 

[techtimmy]

It was a good performance too, thank goodness.

 

[aZooZa]

Shame the yanks pulled one out of the bag at the very last minute

 

[doodlebug]

I wouldn't put your domaion portfolio on England :|

 

[boxerdog]

i guess im all on my own when i wished we had lost so i could stop hearing about it everywhere i go:evil:

Not sure I was watching the same game bud. Granted it was better, better in the same way that if someone punched you 10 times in the face and one day decided to only punch you once.

Slovenia 1-0, I hold my head in my hands

 

[mat]

My USA bet is still going strong then

 

[retired_member32]

Yes i wasn't highly delighted with the performance either....still look very vunerable at the back even though the opposition were awful,rooney looks very poor and i think Argentina will rip them to pieces....at least we were better than the French...i was sitting outside a cafe on the champs elysees when Mexico gave them a whipping and it went deadly quite...

The further they get, the harder the fall!!

A far better performance from the auld enemy, but they need to do better now that they'll have to play some decent teams!

 

[rob]

The warmth for me is 'you' were still a goal away from going out - to slov!

England really could be thrashed on Sunday if they are not careful!

 

[pendragon]

Typical of the yanks to leave it til the last minute to join the action again!

They play like they have just read a text book on how to play football.

Germany haven't been that hot either, they beat the Aussies 4-0, but struggled in 1-0 loss to Serbia and were quite lucky not to concede at least a couple against Ghana yesterday, so bar the big win, only 1 goal in their last 2 games, and are quite fortunate they're not on their way back to Germany.

A number of bigger teams are really struggling, France out, Italy only managed two 1-1 draws so far and could still go out.

Portugal have the benefit of their 7 goals against North korea to thank, otherwise, with their last game against Brazil, if they lose that, they'll be 2nd in the group, but with Ivory Coast needing to score at least 9 against Korea to go through on goal difference above Portugal, fortunate they slaughtered Korea like they did.

Spain are also hanging in the balance after losing their first match to Switzerland, joint second palce with them and only 1 goal ahead on goal difference, they have to beat top of the table Chile to progress, otherwise Switzerland with a win over Honduras will qualify in 2nd place and Spain go home.

Inevitably, England often struggle against lesser teams, they alyways have done, but seem to step up a gear when thrown in with better teams, we'll see on sunday

italy lose 3-2 to slovakia and are sent packing
they finish bottom of their group
bye-bye :wink:

Haha

They {the yanks} play like they have just read a text book on how to play football.

Is that why England qualify as group RUNNERS UP? Are England disadvantaged because they couldn't read that text book?

If there is one certain factor that I have noticed over the last 50 years, it is that England play better when they are wearing the RED shirt change strip.

I'm no football fan but the second half was like watching Scotland. Pile of p*sh.

Let's get this into perspective here.
Population England: 51 million
Population Slovenia: 2 million
:lol:

How much income per week, was on that field? World class income with a 3rd world performance against a 4th world team.

What was all that at the end? Group hugs and Fabio doing some kind of war chant. By the looks of it, I thought you guys had thought you had just won the world cup! You hadn't. You just beat a team with a paltry population of 2 million. You guys advanced by the skin of your teeth.

Can you seriously see them compete (given their form till now) against the likes of Argentina, etc?

I hope they can but I seriously doubt it.

Come on Germany!!!

.......

Let the abuse begin. I can take it.

And please, lets not have any German bashing on here. They may have lost the war but they have achieved their ultimate goal. A unified europe with Germany at the heart of it.
