near Roodebeek metro stop
well well, small world, we've probably sat next to each other on the metro without realising it. I'm the one playing with a GBA (you can't miss me, I'm the only one in Belgium it seems). I remember watching the game in Euro '96 when England spanked Holland 6-1 or something. I was in Kitty O'Sheas with a pub full of Dutch people including the Dutch Crown Prince who happened to be doing a stage at the time. Now *that* was fun! >:} |

After watching the Brazil nuts again I am begining to think that England can punish them at the back they look veeeeery dodgy.
If England can get their defence right they may well pull it off. /me starts munching words again I think England can do it...but only if their defence is rock solid and Owen is on song. |

Your bullets cannot harm me, my wings are like a shield of steel!
Um, anyway, Barton you sure this isn't a new tactic to get our hopes up and make us all overconfident before we crash and born in a Nigeria-style performance on Friday? edit - uh that would be 'burn'

Sure ye don't need me to do that ... ye do that well enough on yer own.
I do think ye have a great chance of going through on Friday though. |

It does seem rather petty that they've given Ahn the boot. Italy have some justification in feeling that the ref seemed to be rather harsh on them, however that doesn't explain why they sat back on their one goal lead or how they managed to miss the back of the net from right in front of the posts just after Korea equalised!

Sorry to those who have seen this on the other thread but its a public service announcement.
The number for the Argentinian embassy is 020 7318 1300. They apparently get quite irate if you call them and say you are from British Airways and ask if they still need 22 seats back from Japan on the 30th June. |

It's easy to feel miserable and whinge about how you wuz robbed, God knows the English are past masters at that, but it doesn't change a thing and doesn't make you feel any better, if you want an example of how to lose gracefully I'd say you could look at the French, god knows I hate em ;) but they said the right things after they were knocked out despite being desperately unlucky with several refereeing decisions - compare that to the Italians and Argies who insist that they're the best in the world despite the fact that they're patently *not*.

asked that we ignore their humourless comrades.
Yes some of the Americans did see it for what it was, just a bit of fun. The ones that didn't though really need to get a grip on reality, all the talk about taking "soccer" and making it their sport and demolishing everyone else almost looked like they could have been written by a certain troll who posts here.

Quote of the Day (from Monday's Express, I believe).
Said BBC interviewer John Humphrys on England's football squad: "Can you imagine what it would be like living in London if that bunch of precious, over-paid tossers win the World Cup?" Said Conservative MP Michael Fabricant responding to John Humphrys' England team slur: "It's a shame the European Court of Justice has forced Britain to get rid of the death penalty for treason." Mr Fabricant.. John Humphrys is Welsh, you tit. |

Bugger..
England simply weren't good enough, Scholes was shockingly poor and Seaman obviously thought, as everyone else did, the free kick was going to be a cross. What's the phrase about assumptions? The ref was amazingly poor though, why Ronaldinho got sent off I've no idea, was it the dodgy barnet? It certainly wasn't for the tackle. No complaints, Brazil were better even with 10 men but I really wish someone would tackle Rivaldo really hard at some point so when he rolls around on the ground he actually is hurt, the big poof! "We're coming home! We're coming home! We're coming, England's coming home!" Now when's our first Euro 2004 game.....

England were outplayed from start to finish. The only reason we even scored, was because the Brazilian defender decided (for some inexplicable reason) to provide a perfect pass to owen in his own box !
The sending of of Ronaldinho was a joke (and the performance of the referee(s) in general needs some examination, I think). We can only hope that our youthful squad has gained much experience from this adventure; this will set them in good stead for the Euro Championships and the 2006 World Cup. |
