Podolski always does well for Germany. Whether out wide or upfront. Why is he not at a better club?

Heskey with a poor strike on goal for Germany.

I though it crazy that Capello was given an extension prior to the world cup. So far it's not looking good for him. All his decisions seemed to go wrong.

In spite of all that, we only missed out on winning because our goalkeeper threw the ball into his own net.

Still had a full half of football do do something about the score and you failed too. If Joe Cole had been put on, or even Defoe at some point, your chances would have been far greater. From a coaching standpoint I felt it was a really poor performance. Don't understand why Rob green was picked in the first place. James is the most experienced and Hart is the most in form and neither of the two were picked.

Desailly 

Absolute legend.

" ... chickens, goats ..."

"Far worse than what Robert Green did ... "

Is everything going to reference Robert Green. Embarrassing stuff really.

England did well to draw yesterday. Once I saw Milner starting on the wing with Lampard and Gerrard in the middle I fully expected them to lose. Milner as I have maintained all along is an awful winger.

Milner - Fail

Gerrard & Lampard central - Fail

King - Fail

SWP - Fail

Carragher - Fail

No Joe Cole, Defoe at any point - Fail

No Adam Johnson at the world cup - Fail

Keeper would have certainly saved it if he dived the other way. Not that great a penalty on second viewing.

What a strike ... quality.

Penalty ... just don't let KPB take it!

Tyldesley continuing to tell us which team is in which colour.

 

I can't help but feel that there is an easier way to tell which team is Ghana, and which is Serbia.

Racist.

Boateng is so much better through the middle. Portsmouth played him out wide way too much last season.

Ghana making a mess of this. Just don't seem to have enough upfront.

These commentators are just shite. Just referred to Appiah as an extra striker!!! Embarrassing.

Really like the look of Annan. Been a lot of talk about him from the Norwegians on here, and it looks like they were spot on.

Zigic off, wow. Going to be interesting to see how he does at Birmingham.

Im expecting the Holland Denmark match to be the first one with really good football.

 

Thought the US v England match occasionally had some good football. South Korea too.

 

Change your f***ing avatar, man.

 

 

The pun underneath is genius to be fair

 

 

No matter how much of a dick I'm being now, You and I know you'll make your money back when the NFL starts up again.

 

Aye if the 49ers don't make the playoffs with the team we have now you'll find me in a ditch somewhere.

 

Aye, that Ted Ginn was the final piece of the puzzle.

 

We're gonna destroy you at Wembley then who will be writing a smiley ey?

 

Fight ya in the carpark afterwards, let's see how you talk trash without any teeth sunshine.

 

I'm honestly not quick witted enough to think of a response.

 

Much like the 49ers quarterback when faced with a blitz then...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or the Denver one, to be fair.

 

Could be worse could be Jay Cutler.

 

To be fair to Cutler he is very good at making quick decisions and getting rid of the ball.

 

Granted he usually throws it to one of the opposition defenders... but the point remains.

 

5 picks against us last year. Was awesome to watch.

Cutler is a head case. Throwing Mike Martz into the mix will not help either.

Come on Serbia FFS, I've got money riding on you you bunch of c***s. 

Probably not smart tbf 

Ghana are a good team.

Tagoe look sgood but tries to do too much a lot of the time.

Annan has been very good, and Kevin Prince Boateng and Ayew have done pretty well also.

Have we signed Kevin Prince Boateng yet?

Suprised there isn't a thread on vuvuzelas. Am I the only one who thought it was outrageous?

 

The noise really doesn't annoy me anymore tbh, I just tune them out completely for the most part.

 

What is bad and what somebody else mentioned in this thread is the way they destroy a proper atmosphere developing. Instead of chanting and the roar when a chance happens all you get is the constant droaning of the horns - it's boring if anything.

 

Exactly, which is why I hate it. I love the World Cup for the passion shown by the huge crowds, not just the football. When a shot goes close all that happens now is an increase of volume of these mindless pricks blowing them constantly.

The world cup is in South Africa and that's what they do. Mindless pricks? 

It doesn't take much of a mind to come up with some of the pretty crap chants heard at matches around the UK every season. Get real.

"proper atmosphere" 

Did it occur to you that the vuvuzelas are a large part of their atmosphere? You're not in Kansas anymore Dorothy. 

watching the live stream on the bbc, the commentators don't realise they're on air

Any racial slurs yet?

Cannot believe Nacho's in there like.

 

They've dropped their hyped up kid Lodeiro for him.

Everyone except Keegan knows of Nacho's Qualities.

I knew people on here would still be whinging about the Vuvuzuelas 

I don't even notice them when I watch. Sucks for you guys. 

Senderos in talks with Fulham ...
