Village Idiot

Is that for real? Gotta say that's a great cover I need to show it to my yank friends to wind them up for tomorrow.

Our vicepresident has come out and said that Zlatan is not for sale, denying rumours that we would be selling him to City.

"Even Heskey scored..." wasn't that a chant?

I thought Gourcuff was pretty poor, very ineffectual and absent for long stretches of the game. But again it may be me, every time he gets the ball behind the strikers I can't stop thinking that it used to be Zidane there.

Thought he was their best player (with Sagna). However, I say this all the time and I always get shot down (friends, forumites etc) so you're probably right. No, you're right, Toulalan was about the only one that showed up for France today.

On account of what I have seen from Nigeria these past 6 months, Argentina should tear them a new one.

Good shout, great game, just starting to get into it now! Once you get to level 5, you can set up a game against NUFC with the "play against PL teams" mode. Geremi is in the starting XI and one of their best players incidentally

I just signed up to that FilmOn thing. This is the first time I see Alan Shearer as a pundit. EDIT: Ah, Adebayor, the token African for the broadcast

Group A Now to get up at 7am tomorrow to see what's stronger: vuvuzelas or South Koreans yelling when they get near the goal.

Shit boring game.

Silly facebook game I have become sort of addicted to: http://apps.facebook.com/fifasuperstars/ What makes it for me is that it has player licenses so you can collect real players from all over the world for your team (only able to buy shit so far, though).

David Gold quoted in our press saying that West Ham have abandoned the Henry signing because "looks like Barcelona have offered him a new contract". Why on hell would we do that?

English World Cup commentary, always finding the most obtuse ways to bring out 1966

That Mexico keeper looks really dodgy. Maybe he hasn't made many mistakes but his body language every time the ball gets near him is like a deer caught in the headlights.

I just checked out this FilmOn thing. Is it reliable? It isn't terribly expensive to subscribe to and I would love to catch on British shows.

As I suspected after watching their game against you, Mexico will flatter to deceive this year.

Well, that was some class from Vela.

New York Times poll: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/06/09/sports/soccer/20100609-worldcup-interactive.html?hp 63% think yanks will win or draw against England. Some of the comments just to wind you up

I'm pretty fine with them blowing them non-stop in SA games, it's their way of supporting football teams and it isn't much more annoying than the bloody Great Escape song or the guy with the drum for Spain (he's just one guy though). But it's a very different matter them things getting blown in games where they don't support anybody and just annoy the travelling fans there.

Can somebody tell me what's so special about the vuvuzelas? These horns were popular in Spain in the 1980s-early 90s and already annoyed the hell out of me at the stadia back then. http://www.spitorswallow.co.za/blowme.php 15 seconds for me.

Time for a "Fergie Watch: Parky 1 v Alex Ferg 0- The Decline of Manchester United" thread Actually funny you should say that I'm looking for my next victim.... You should do a Hughton watch so he can stay 3 years in charge too.

Three games every day, man. Best thing is that in the USA the latest game ends at 4pm which still leaves you the entire afternoon/evening to do stuff

Victory.

#10 Idiotinho Need to find a way to avatarise that.
