Nah. Most people expect the worst. The English attitude.

Pissed at Gerrard and Rooney.

Wow, France. Must be the two Newcastle players (and one former one) in the starting XI

On ESPN, Newcastle supporter Lynsey Hipgrave is making Alexi Lalas and Ruud van Horseyface bearable.

On a side note, I'm loving all the WC adverts. The GOAAAAAAAAL in the car is funny, and the guy who avoids all possible hints of the game he's recording, only to have his daughter skip by and say 'we won, daddy'...well, I can relate only too well lol

I never liked football anyway....

Sorry for your pain, man. I *shudder* remember the '98 World Cup. I wish I could forget it, but I can't.

Iran parked the bus effectively in the first half, giving Argentina little, and now they're pushing forward. C'mon, Argentina, I picked you to beat the hosts in the final!

 

[Stout]

Wow. Um, yeah, that's why he's Lionel Messi. Hasn't been great in the WC until now. Two huge winners (probably) in two games. What an amazing shot!

That was a helluva shot from Messi. Terrible feeling for the Iranians after coming so close to getting points off Argentina. The guy collapsing as the goal goes in says it all.

I wouldn't go that far. They certainly played well enough for the tie, and probably should have scored a goal from one of the few opportunities they had, but Argentina also had enough chances to score multiple goals.

This Germany game will get ugly, the temperatures and humidity are extreme and German players are not used to that.

 

[Stout]

Germany, you are EFFING KILLING ME!!!

 

[Stout]

Klose, you are my hero right now

 

[crisper57]

Wow I haven't seen this many Germans in Brazil since...

Never mind.

 

[crisper57]

Tie helpful at all? In any way?

 

[Stout]

Whew! I can live with the draw. A German loss would have been catastrophic.

 

[crisper57]

Just gotta win

Twice screwed!

 

[Dback Jon]

Yes. But not quite as bad second time

I never watch Soccer unless it is the world cup. I think it is because it is country vs. country instead of some team vs. another.

So far, pretty entertaining.
