Own up Politik.. you wrote this article didn't you :p

Bullshit. Gerrard was one of England's best by far. 2 incredible passes that would have been secondary assists had Crouch been less incompetent up front in the first half from the half way line. Great distribution in the second half as well. Granted he was shocking against Paraguay, but terrific...

I had predicted them to finish second in the group too.. still a distant possibility I suppose, but they were a bit unlucky today. Some sleep for me tonight I think. Costa Rica and Ecuador I'll see maybe the first half of. I don't particularly feel like staying up to see England stutter past...

Yep for fantasy team :p You're a United fan dhj? Very disappointing that a man of fine tastes in film would choose so poorly in football clubs :p For some reason I got Saudi Arabia mixed up with UAE.. must have something to do with the 3 hours sleep I got last night. Damn Brazil and their slow...

Spain vs UAE should be a good one to watch while having a few drinks. Very relieved to buy Torres yesterday. I have a feeling his stock is going to go through the roof after today, Villa too.

Man Ukraine are fricking lousy. But damn good performance from Spain. Time to buy Ramos to replace Marquez, highly doubtful that Spain will be conceding more goals in this weak group.

Well said matty :)

That's the one copious. Doesn't seem like he's the most knowledgable coach though does it? Dwight Yorke was never the best striker in the world. Amongst the best, yes, but far, far from the best.

Anyone else pleased how hard the Czech Republic smacked the US last night? I recall their manager making some rather disparaging comments about Australia's chances of making it through the group stages a few months back, so there was poetic justice there. Incredibly the guy had the gall to...

For the love of pete would you Asian supporters spare a thought for the non-crazy Asians here？ You’re an embarrassment。

Go the Czech Republic. Really ripped into those Americans, most fluent football I've seen this world cup.. keeping in mind I missed Argentina vs Cote D'ivoire

Fuck yes, Cahill get in there! What a win!! :D:D

Wow.. people writing off the Oranjes already. I'll go for 2-0 to them. 1-0 to Mexico and 3-0 to Portugal.

^^ I think he's referring to this world cup however. And that 3rd place playoff took place 4 years ago :p How many of the games did you see last night? :p

Why? Pretty scrappy first half. Neither team making any major inroads, but Paraguay looking particularly unimaginative/overawed. That Parades guy is a hell of a cheat.

Yep, I'll go along with 2-0 to England. Gerrard and Terry with the goals :p

Messi and Ballack both injured. Gerrard possibly also injured. Could I get any luckier?

lol.. I was actually talking about Leo Messi :p Fat Ronaldo's still cool too though. At the very least he'll become a cult figure in the last few years of his career.

06/07 thread will start when the new season kicks off. Until then there's still plenty of non-WC football to talk about in that thread.

It's nice that you went to such lengths to prove me wrong, but I was referring to the fact that they're different types of players. I guess I didn't make myself clear. Fat Ronaldo is, once again, a different type of player to RvN. I don't know why you insist on equating all strikers to the same...
