Love Eamon Dunphy. Ripping into the man who designed the World Cup ball as we speak.

Current Eire squad + Jonny Evans? Was taking the piss. Though I'm sure they must have some better options in midfield than Keith fucking Andrews.

You'd be able to join in on those "If George Best was 25 right now..." musings. Hear a lot of that in your local pub do you?

20 euros down so far on day to day bets. My top goalscorer predictions haven't scored yet. Higuain the cunt should have scored a couple. Was banking on Fabiano getting started tonight... hopefully Torres can get a couple tomorrow. Holland, Argentina, Spain, Germany, England, Italy all to win their groups acc still going, really worried about Italy on that one.

Imagine if Ireland had a unified team like. The possibilities.

Has anyone pointed out that Keefaz was wrong yet? Ha, in your face Keefaz, you tit!

Deserved that.

Solid gloryhunting from Lucio there.

does that sound silly to anyone else ? What I meant was that I simply don't believe he intended to hit it inside the goalkeeper and swerve it in at the far post. He just hammered it towards goal and it turned out well. Great strike of course, and I'm not denying the quality of the goal but I can't buy that he knew that was going to happen. If he's going for goal, what do you think he expects to happen like? Deflection, OG, anything. It's a bit of an each-way bet, true enough, but his primary objective is to score direct surely?

Quality goal.

He never meant that atall, to much credit cos hes brazilian. Was a driven cross. It would have had to have been a mega-slice to go in if he was trying to cross. Only he knows for sure, obviously, but it looked too clean a strike to have been a fluke to me.

Reckon he meant that.

I actually screamed "You stupid fucking cunt, no!!" at the TV when he took off Crespo for Cruz. 1-0 up. 15 minutes to go. All your subs used. Messi and Riquelme sitting on the sidelines. What could go wrong, eh? :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Argentina have gotten worse IMO. They were superb in the last World Cup, maybe in terms of individual players they're better this time around but that 2006 team played fabulous football and were only undone by their manager making a complete and utter hash of things in the game against Germany. Still pisses me off to this day, that game. Holland should be a better team, definitely when they get Robben back anyway.

Howay this group of Drogba's.

Aye same as. Gone with Ronaldo's bet, and also put another 10 on Chile and Spain (-1) at 2/1.

The second round of games will surely at least have some sort of urgency to them as some teams will be facing elimination if they lose.

Aye, was amazing.

Presumptuous fucker.

Didi Hamman and Ronnie Whelan absolving the linesman of any blame for the Slovakia goal on the basis that "nobody really knows exactly what the rule is". Look it up lads, it's not fucking difficult.

Did you unleash pain on your surround system in the end then?

Fair play to them, didn't deserve that at all.

Normally I'd agree, but I've backed Portugal and Slovakia so unless the All Whites get a goal I'm firmly in Portugal's corner. Howay Greasy Ronny!

Great counter attack by Slovakia, just a bad touch at the end let him down.
