World Cup 2010

[GIMH]

This time, with a fit and firing squad the envy of world football, nothing will stop us as we march through the entire process from here on in without losing a game. Last night was clearly as close as anyone will get to us. Prediction for the final - Australia 7 England 0, and four years of drunkeness for our wonderful island nation to follow.

You heard it here 1st.

Are you sure the drunkenness didn't precede this post? Gun post, it must be said, must have taken you some time!

Watched the England game at the pub with a Brazilian friend of a friend thing, he was all Brazil to win the WC! You've got to get there first mate. Dunga the new Stevie Mac?

Have to say I watched the Colombia - Uruguay game on Sultana, bored me to death, and the players are freaking soft. Felt like torture for mine.

And Switzerland 1-2 Luxembourg

Add Colombia and Switzerland to my list in the earlier post - Gone!!

I hate the person who invented football. How the hell can you lose to Lithuania?

 

[GIMH]

I've not read any match reports, or seen any highlights, but I am guessing that Lithuania scored more goals

awta.

Also, ask half of the Scottish league, they seem to manage it on a regular basis.

 

[Matteh]

Not sure if Scotland should have a team, hardly the mark of pride they want it to be.

Having all your players who are even close to being good out. That's how.

Ethiopia have been disqualified due to government involvement in their FA. Revised group 8 table:

Rwanda                4  3  0  1   7-3     9
--------------------------------------------
Morocco               3  2  0  1   7-4     6
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
Mauritania            3  0  0  3   1-8     0

Rwanda are through to the next round. Morocco are through unless they mess up royally against Mauritania.

Not surprised about the Faroe Islands 1 - 1 draw with Austria in Torshavn.

Just saw Iwelumo's miss against Norway!

For those who did not see it



Stephen Hawking would not have missed it!

 

[GIMH]

Possibly the worst miss I have ever seen

 

[BoyBrumby]

Possibly the worst* miss I have ever seen

*Best. The miss by which all other misses will now be judged against.

Was watching in the boozer ahead of our game and the whole pub went quiet. I don't think anyone could quite believe what we'd seen. I just assumed there'd been a flag for offside or something, but no. A very special moment. It's a cliche, but in this case it really was easier to score.

Meanwhile, Cashley? A sqaure ball blind across your own goal? That's ****ing schoolboy stuff. Lucky Kazaks were merde aside from their little no 7.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, the only miss as good/bad I can remember is Scott Taylor V Ipswich for us in the Cup in 99. Will dig it out.

What about Kanu's miss for West Brom a few years back? That was quite comical, managed to sky it from 2m in front of the bix. This callls for a thread!

 

[roseboy64]

Kanu's was worse definitely. In other news, managed to beat Mexico so qualification is still possible.

Did Goodison have a good game? I hope you're happy, his selection was the direct cause for our capitulation yesterday
