Anyone know if this is gonna be shown on American TV and in HD? If so I'll definately give it a shot

even baseball is somewhat interesting on 60 inches of HD!

Great start for the old dream team KLOSE!!! GET IN MY SON!!

[El Gamo]

Like I said,Germany have gone for the more attacking approach but see how vulnerable they looked. Imagine Ronaldo,Ronaldhinno and Adriano there!!! I'm a big fan of Lahm though,he played very well last world cup too and those goals....goals of the tournament already?Actually,I think we will see more of those,the ball swirves alot!! Want see Carlos or Gerrard whack 1 !!

[BIG H]

Germany are gonna concede 4 or 5 if they come up against one of the big boys - can't believe how pushed up the back 4 were - suicidal tactics when your defence aint that gr8 anyway

[beds]

worst german defense for a country that normally excells in the defense.

yea they got exposed against italy not long back.

equador might do em

Great game today, by zi Germans & Costa Rica.....Remember 'Wanchopa' (forward for Rica) used to play in Europe so he pretty much knew how to play them great showing of skills by him.

Ecuador showed class and with a bit of luck they managed to get by Poland 2-0..The game was good for as a follow up to the opener you could say it sucked...

[El Gamo]

Ecuador Costa Rica could be a cracker and I'll be honest,I can see Ecuador's pacy team opening Germany up a few times too!!! England today,any predictions guys??

[beds]

england will win 3-0

wen gerrard, lampard or beckham twat that ball you know its gonna move like a nutter on a dance floor and thats before rooney comes back, hes got a hell of a shot on him.


were gonna score 1 more than you

ENGLAND!!!!

[Oggie]

Paraguay 7 - 0 England.

Haha, just kidding.
I reckon it will be a draw myself... maybe England will pip it by a goal. I'm expecting them to be a bit cagey in the opening match though, while Paraguay have little to lose.
Chances are, I will be completely wrong and England will hammer them, in which case I will hold my hands up and blame the pitch.

Sacrilage, but ..............


I am bored of football (which has little that is noble about it), sick of all the merchandising, revolted by the false emotions and bandwagon-jumpers, sickened by the hero-worship of a bunch of chavs who can run fast and kick something.

I am tired of thick inarticulate TV presenters, if someone talks about 1966 again, I think I will stab then in the face.

I wonder what our governments will sneak in while we, the masses, are distracted by the games at the Colisseum world cup.

I am standing by for the inevitable torrent of sad clicks when political/societal correctness is not followed in public, but it is the truth (I swear, your honour)

[AdamGB]

I sort of feel the same way X, I like football... Not nuts on it but its the over the top, Hysterical contrived fans that get too me... I don't mind genuine fans I just can't stand bandwagon jumpers.

[AdamGB]

*not about the chav who can run fast thing... some of them are spackas but there are some real athletes too...

Liked the bit about Roman games... !

[beds]

jumping on the bandwagon


you support your country no matter wat, doesnt matter if you dont follow the game 100%

i for 1 will be flying my flag until its all over

Despite playing shit for half a game we are in perfect position to qualify with little fuss, Trinidad were great today but had the Sweds had thier shooting boots on and Hislop wasnt inspired they would have got a thumping.

I thought Crouch was excellent today.
