Don't see what's wrong with the ball. The goalkeeper(s) are simply shit.

Read on some German web sites that Man Utd are interested in Michael Ballack. Wouldn't surprise me tbh after that Owen transfer last year. Do they really don't have any more money to spent?

I think Rooney worked very hard. Was marked out of the game very good, though. But I think England would have won this with 2 or 3 Rooney's.

Aye me too. I thought Slovenia would have this quite comfortably. I'm still hoping. This Nr. 10 of Slovenia has looked quite good. Counting on him.

Algeria are way better than I expected them to be. Quite surprised tbh.

35 € on Germany 15 € on Slowenia, Serbia, Germany. Hoping for much, much, very much more luck than yesterday.

Well, that was a bit s***, really. Don't you just love Green! I don't say it's only Green's fault tbh. England had another 45 + minutes time to score 1 (!!) goal against USA (!!). Not 5 against Brazil, Spain, Italy or Germany. Well, I'm disappointed. But, to lose is part of the game and the world cup has only just started.

Was wondering why Cole didn't play anyway. Would have done more than Crouch.

Ah, ok. On the German TV nobody was sure about that. Don't think btw that Wright-Philips was really any better than Milner tbh.

Disappointed with this match tbh. Goalkeeping error once again costing England (maybe) a win isn't nice. What was with the Milner substitution btw? Was it because injury/his yellow card or because he was just shit?

Well, that was a bit shit, really.

i'm sure robson played him on the left in europe once. what componded the probblem for allardyce was he also played n'zogbia on the right amongst lots of other mistakes. Don't know about Robson. But Roeder played him on the left in the UEFA-Cup. Against Palermo for example where he gave that perfect cross to Luque for that 1-0.

Yep. They are just loud. Has nothing to do with atmosphere imo.

Could someone in this world please invent something that could filter out that sound of those horns? Quickly?

Because he got injured pre season. Guess if that would not have happende we would have seen a lot of more from Butt.

Hope not that he'll be our captain. Would basically secure him a place in the starting XI when ever he's fit.

So, after my last final exam yesterday combined with far too much drinking + heat -> and hangover... today is the day the world cup starts for me

"Not in recent times" Qualifying matches are long gone. I've seen him against Bosnia-Herzegowina. He looked as on another level as the other players. 2nd half after Cacau came on for him it looked like a completely different game.

Nobody. Or do you?

Not in recent times. Klose is a player who depends on confidence. If he scores against Australia (and that's a big if for me) he probably will end up with 4,5 or 6 goals at the World Cup. But I doubt it.

But Hughton surely picked the teams against Everton, Bolton, Hull, ManUtd and Arsenal. Just checked it on .com. Taylor was right back in every match of those with Colo and Bassong in the middle.

Could well be that I'll be wrong here in the end, but I wouldn't put a bet on Klose. Horrible form at the moment. Has scored 2 goals during the whole season. Could well be that against Australia it will be the first and last time that he will start a match during the world cup. The media here really puts pressure on Jogi Löw to start Cacau as well. Could see him becoming nr.1 striker tbh.

WBA last season after Kinnear fell ill. Don't remember if he did pick him as RB on any other occasion, though.

Terrible forward line tbh. Really? And why?

Just heard that rumour here that Chelsea want to buy Schweinsteiger for 35 mio €. According to that paper his agent and Chelsea officials have already met in London.
