It doesn't sound right. I don't know why. Shit's gonna go down man.

Aye, should be canny. Will be interesting to see if, and how quickly, Argentina click. And, without knowing the full Nigeria squad and possibly being slightly racist, Nigeria should have a very athletic and attacking team to take advantage in the case they do not click...

I'm actually looking forward to Nigeria vs. Argentina. Got a feeling it will be a veeerrryyyy attacking game...

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.

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

OH MY F****** GOD I COULD HARDLY WATCH BECAUSE OF THAT STUPID P***-F*** NOISE They have to ban the vuvuzela.

Could've just kept Robben like but interesting to see how Di Maria will perform on the bigger stage. One of their biggest mistakes is getting rid of Robben. He's one of the best in the world. My favourite player.

Vulnerable to counter attacks but Mascherano will stay reaaallllyyy deep I'd imagine.

Did anyone see Silva's goal for Spain? *probably been mentioned* If they can do that, I'm fucking afraid. Iniesta's chip was beautiful to find him.

It seems that Gerrard has gone from 'nobody ever mentions his diving because he is English' to constantly accusing him even when it's not relevant to somehow balance it out.

Yeah, slightly above average.

Fuck, Robben is my favourite player and he is a major doubt now. He was ready to piss all over the international stage. FUCK FUCK FUCK

more like a shower blouse with rice

Probably one of my favourite videos. Darius Vassell looking awkward as thousands of mental firework-wielding turks celebrate his signing after being dropped off by a helicopter. DARIUS VAAAASSELLL DARIUS VAAASSSEELLL OLE OLE OLE!

Passion? 'I want 150k a weeeeeeeeek, not 140k a weeeeeeeek'. Guy has fuck all passion imo, luckily he is an awesome player. You're right though, would probably replace all of them with him (considering Arshavin is going slightly mental).

I meant in terms of how they perform at club level. So I think we agree there. Heskey is s**** all the time whereas Gomez lacks... experience at international level? Gomez has been s*** for Bayern as well. He had one or two good seasons for Stuttgart. The same way as Heskey had them for Wigan in the last years. Gomes is s***. Probably Heskey is too, but Gomez is worse. So they paid 35 million euros for someone who had 'one or two good seasons for Stuttgart'? His name is Gomez ffs, Gomez!

That's what I would have thought. The program was actually pretty decent. Some shite 'pundits' but also some interesting ones (Shilton, Seaman, O'Leary etc).

I meant in terms of how they perform at club level. So I think we agree there. Heskey is shite all the time whereas Gomez lacks... experience at international level?

No. Mario Gomez will definitely be the worst. Mario Gomez is far better than Heskey. Gomez has 1 in 3 this year, despite having a rubbish year. Heskey has like 1 in 42,035 atm.

Ha, justice system is ridiculous sometimes. 'Plead guilty and then we can go beat him up again'.

Inter fan in 'I like Sneijder' shocker!

Heskey will probably be the worst striker at the world cup.

Alan Weilding

One of Beckhams more recent appearances for England - The first thing he did when he came on was ping a 50 yard pass cross field right to our players feet to start off an attack. Nearly creamed myself.

I like Walcott, just because he scares the shit out of fullbacks. Even when he came on in the first leg vs. Barca, he brought the game to life (and scored) purely because he is unbelievably quick.
