Guest kingdawson Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Chant of the tournament so far, courtesy of Millenium Square/Wetherspoons in Leeds: "We love you Ghana, we do we love you Ghana, we do we love you Ghana, we do oh Heskey looks like you" :lol: That's a ridiculously shit chant tbf.

Guest Brummiemag Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 What a great opportunity we have missed. Had we won the group we would have played Ghana and then the winners of Uruguay v S Korea in the quarters. I can see USA reaching the semis By finishing runners up we may have to play Germany, Argentina, Spain and Brazil to win the World Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Glad Ghana got through. Need an African team to hang in there, and they shouldn't have much trouble turning the USA over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest geordienorway Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 We'll walk it. Germans are shite at the back (with the exception of Lahm). If Ghana had someone who could finish then they'd have beaten Germany. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 was really fed-up of Mark Lawrenson's unwitty and meaningless one liners during the England game today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 He wasn't the problem. It was the main guy insisting we'd "forget about the 2 previous games if we won", and belittled Slovenia to the role of no-hopers, which would have sounded to someone watching who wasn't particularly clued up, that we should have thumped them 5-0 with ease. Anyway, good performance on the whole with some excellent individual displays from the likes of Terry, Cole and Milner. Disappointing Rooney couldn't get his goal but there we go. Bring on the Joimans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Really looking forward to that Germany-England game, fully expect that now you're through the group you'll be a much tougher side to deal with. Think in terms of winning the tournament out you've missed the boat though, too tough a path from here on in barring some serious shocks in other games making things easier for you. Man I celebrated like a lunatic when the US scored for some reason. I wanted them to go through cos they're a much better side to watch than Slovenia but until the goal actually went in I had no idea that I actually wanted them to get through THAT much.

Shak Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Ghana are not a particularly good team. They're really good until they get into the final third of the field. They've no quality whatsoever in and around the box though. Can't believe that one of Uruguay, South Korea, Ghana and the USA are going to be in the semi-final of the World Cup.

I dunno like, the other 3 will no doubt be biggies. I'll continue to back Uruguay as long as Forlan's on his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 It was sadly predictable that USA would finally score, fucking go for the second goal man!!!! So now we might get Uruguay vs Skorea, USA vs Ghana and Paraguay vs Denmark in the 2nd round, whilst England play Germany, Spain play Portugal and Holland play Italy. Madness! And I don't get this "well we have to beat the big teams sometime"......I'd rather get to the semis by beating rubbish (like 1990) than go out in the 2nd round against a big team (1998). England and Germany will both feel very confident about beating the other this time because both teams are their weakest in years. I can't wait though. Fate will give us England vs Maradona's Argentina in the QF, although I'm at a wedding that day But as for todays match, the atmosphere sounded incredible and by playing Milner and Defoe, Capello proved once again that he is one of the best around. He didn't cave in with Gerrard off Rooney, he picked what he felt was right and the performance was very good. But obviously they'll live to regret not getting a second goal.
