Colocho Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 How confident are people that England will beat USA? I think it'll be a tough game and we'll just about labour to a 1 1 draw. Extremely confident. Their defence is f***ing shocking. The embarrassment of failing to beat a country that isn't even aware the World Cup is on would be too much The US has bought more World Cup tickets than any other country. Fucking yanks.

Aye, its not the 80s anymore. US are aware of 'Soccer' and us such their unquestionable Patriotism is behind their team - can never question them on that.

Guest BooBoo Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 For me the hardest group to call is group A, have a feeling Uruguay may end up bottom though. Yep, very tough group to call with any certainty although I think Mexico and Uruguay might just squeeze through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Eurosport in having the absolute worst pre-WC show ever. They speak in African, Portuguese, Spanish, French or whatever, and there's no texting because it's live and no interpretors. Do they really think they make a good show when they have so many languages nobody gets what's going on without being a complete language nerd?

TaylorJ_01 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Maradonas supposd starting eleven, get in there Jonas Sergio Romero – Gabriel Heinze, Martin Demichelis, Walter Samuel – Jonas Gutierrez, Javier Mascherano, Juan Sebastian Veron, Angel Di Maria – Leo Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez Surprised. I thought he was going for the flat-back 4 with otamendi at RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 That's Frei added to the list of knackered players That would be a heartbreaker for him, missed Euro 2008 in his own country aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Gutierrez will be pretty much a right-back there I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1878 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thinking about the amount of work Jonas puts in i think he will be a defender and attacker at the same time. He will be everywhere along his side. Obvious that is what he's included Jonas for but the inclusion of Di Maria in the same position on the other side puzzles me. Will he really put the necessary shift in for a back 3 to work? Can't see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I got Argentina, Paraguay, Greece & Algeria in my family WC draw today. Gutted i didn't get spain, think I'll stick a tenner on them to win so i can also win money when they do. My Uncle got Saffa, Spain & Portugal the jammy bastard, right lucky bugger he is.

morgs Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I dont see how people are expecting england to get past the quarters. The way i see it, if france win group A, they will face england in the quarters and if the french have made it that far they are dangerous. At the same time, if uruguay made it that far i would also be worried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have no real worries about France, they are about the same level of talent as us if not a little weaker, but out of real form and mis-managed to death.

morgs Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 my tip for the world cup would be spain, the potential winners i see other than them are brazil (who i would expect to face spain in the final), italy and argentina Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Can someone tell me why we've got 3 lions? Why lions are associated with England, from my knowledge we've never had lions roaming England, did we pick it up on the crusades? Was it before then? Even so, that's only slightly near where the majority of lions hang about. Seems strange to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 JONAS GUTIERREZ got a shock when he opened his suitcase in South Africa - he had not bothered to pack any ordinary clothes. Newcastle's Argy ace said: "I only took my Argentina gear. I thought I was not going to need more than that. My room-mate Martin Demichelis had to lend me some of his own clothes." Gutierrez sorted himself out with a quick trip to Pretoria's Menlyn Shopping Mall. He added: "I bought trousers and a shirt."

This bloke; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_the_lionheart He sounded like a right twat, would sell London if he could, hated England and was only king for the title. Also had loads of Jews killed, what a guy. I saw where he was tagged lionheart, and subsequently why the Lion emblem became part of our heritage, but why Lion? Seems a bit strange still; an animal many had never seen, not native to our land to become a national symbol. Maybe the mystique of the beast was the reason he went for it. Still a national symbol of an animal that never graced this land wildly is a tad strange imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
