Coleman: "Let's say he meant it - let's give him the benefit of the doubt". You do realise nobody gives a fuck what you reckon, don't you Chris?

But how do they pick the group winners etc? Lots are drawn? I was catching up with the thread and was going make that joke, glad I was late as it clearly wouldn't have been appreciated.

This world cup has gone the same way as many before it so far, I don't think the Vuvuzela has done anything to the standard of football. Well we'll never know I suppose, but this is the worst start I can recall. Admittedly my memory only goes back to 1994 and that's hazy.

First time ive ever complained about a TV programme tonight. Totally unprofessional. Sky would never go on like those pricks tonight. If they don't want to cover it, come home and do my job and il go and sit for a month watching football. Fuckin wankers. Agree, yeah. You could've forgiven them saying it once, but Hansen was wittering on and on about it like it was a real hardship for him to be at the World Cup ffs. Let's be honest, it'll probably be better than a good few of the games so far.

Yep, you're right on both counts.

Looking forward to the premier league season kicking off and they start going off because a bunch of England fans have brought them back. It will happen. Brought them back? You can buy them in Sainsbury's. brb

Have you never noticed that World Cup's often take on a flavour of the host country? How would you react if other countries tried to alter the way that English fans celebrated in an English World Cup? He's Irish. Same applies- we can't dictate the customs of the host country. How about if Arab countries tried asked European fans to cover up? Or asked fans not to sing chants with swear words in? Would tell em to fuck off, aye. When people were going on about this being an issue a while back I thought it would be a mild irritant, but it's the fact that you can't hear owt else, as has been pointed out numerous times in the last few days. The whole World Cup's been a massive damp squib so far, and I don't think these stupid things help tbh. Players feed off the atmosphere and the atmosphere is fucking shit.

I think North Korea - Brazil is fascinating, I'm looking forward to seeing the North Koreans out of curiosity. I want to see the NK Fans. No actual Norks there as expected I don't think.. There is a fanclub set up made up of English and Chinese fans I think, who have travelled to given them some kind of support. Ah, that's disappointing. 1-1 says you have a right to be disappointed.

Ho ho ho. Erm, nar.

I wish the BBC would stop ripping the Slovakia-New Zealand match tomorrow, it's pathetic. Meanwhile, thank fuck I'm at work when it's on.

Ah, is Mike still starting sentences with "1-1 means..."?

Parky, what's the score, Parky Parky, what's the score? Seriously, what's the score, I'm a bit lost without the score.

Tempted to hoy money on 2-1 Italy at 3/1.

This tournament's been really, really poor so far like. Brazil and Spain games can't come soon enough. Let's hope Portugal-Ivory Coast is a decent match as well.

:lol:

Of course it's tongue in cheek man, Jesus.

They're doing my fucking head in.

Rooney needs to get into this game ffs.

Wow.

No he won't, so why are you saying it?

Bit shite how we've made 2 subs already, would like to see Crouch and Joe Cole on in the next ten minutes.
