From the same vein by an English announcer once:

"And Germany, not for the first time this century, invading Czech territory."

article about the english midfield

Quote :

"Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard were both short-listed for the FIFA player of the year awards this year. Consistently excellent at their respective clubs for what seems like an age, to include the pair at the heart of England's midfield is as logical as sticking a pre-tournament treble of Togo to lose every group game they played. But from time to time logic and football make uncomfortable bedfellows. It really shouldn't be, but, for whatever reason, these two colossuses of the game just can't seem to share midfield responsibilities without neutering the very essence of their individual qualities. How Jose Mourinho must thank his stars for Gerrard's eleventh-hour decision to spurn Chelsea's advances the previous two summers. Eriksson, like anyone who has watched England become a whole less than the sum of its parts since Euro 2004, recognises this, even if he has never had the nerve to do something about it."

very accurate, those two guys just seem to have disappeared.

"Everyone knows that Ghana had no chance with Brazil. Very few teams have a chance with Brazil. Don't act as if some calls stopped them from winning the game. Go to worldcup.com and check the highlights, pause the video directly when the pass for the second goal is given. The players were equal and equal means no offsides. Ghana's finsih is weak and shouldn't have really been in this second round (no penalty kick vs USA). Probably the closest they were to target was almost scoring in their own goal."

I was making fun of the other thread, n00b

6/30/2006 8:37:37 AM

I'm thinking Argies with the upset today.

6/30/2006 9:12:49 AM

I don't really know who to support, both Germany and Argentina are huge rivals of England.

Crespo pulled a Tony Danza when the ref called that handle.

6/30/2006 11:27:52 AM

Hmmm... who to pull for?

6/30/2006 11:36:43 AM

I'm going to pull for whoever can manage to play some decent-looking soccer before the game is over.

This game is painful so far.
