Village Idiot

What are the chances of meeting you at some point in the knockouts? I would really fancy playing England, like.

I hate Nevada Smiths. They even have a Barça supporters fan club, which are 75% plastics.

I do too, they have grown to be my second team since my time here. http://www.crossed-flag-pins.com/Friendship-Pins/Spain/Flag-Pins-Spain-USA.jpg

Seems for Spain it would be something like... Portugal/Ivory Coast in 1/8, then Argentina in 1/4, Germany in semis... Mike: use the "don't tread on me" one

Hope Brazil doesn't drop a bollock and qualifies second on their group. I'm confident about beating Portugal and Ivory Coast. Brazil not until the finals, please

Piece of piss for us too. Now to check the brackets to see who we meet.

Come on draw Portugal before Spain's group...

Slovenia lucky sods.

South Africa doesn't get a cheap group then, afterall.

Meh, Cameroon it will be then. I was wrong it seems, Honduras doesn't prevent us from getting another American team... this is complicated. Chile's going to be fine. Now we only need to draw Portugal to get a Spanish (and former Spanish) group!

Meh, Cameroon it will be then.

That means we'll probably get Ghana or Cameroon? Ghana please.

Honduras, fine.

Anybody knows how the bracket is organized? Want to see when are we meeting Brazil...

This is actually better than the CL ceremony, which is saying something. The CL was a joke, they seemed to stop after each ball for some inane interview or award. Hope here they run through the whole thing once they start drawing.

Number of song and dance numbers: 4 Number of balls drawn: 0 Ridiculous.

45 minutes and still not a single ball drawn.

Please, just get on with the draw...

They are probably putting one of these cringe-induncing show and dance numbers after every ball is drawn.

Three f***ing hours! Holy fuck Well, I hope I can go get lunch at some point.

As expected, they said they will "keep the negotiations open". All bark and no bite. Oh, and just because: Jermaine Pennant: Games played: 10 Goals: 0 Assists: 0

So, how long is this thing going to last?

I guess we shouldn't have signed Ibrahimovic and kept developing Bojan, then. Wegner is just too stubborn. And Arsenal fans sometimes buy their own hype. You can develop your youngsters and add the 2-3 pieces to be credible challengers and everything will be just fine.

Abidal is better than Cole IMO, and why would you want to play Enrique on the wing? Defending is what he does best, so I say we let him keep playing as a defender Abidal is better defensively than Cole. But going forward Ashley is way better. It's good for us, though, since Alves on the other side likes his excursions a bit too much sometimes, and he adds balance. Wayne Bridge is just another piece of Abramovich's master plan of buying all the young English talent, turn it into shit, and release it again to potential Premier League rivals.
