very true on the first part, and the ref had been quite a stickler all game. hey-ho. on the second part, i was a little worried he was going to get booked for over-enthusiastic celebrating; that ref certainly knew how to locate his cards.

no need to disallow the American third, if they infringed in that melee, then at least one Slovenian player was doing worse to his opposite number.

who is this scottdisco clown and where does he get his predictions?! much better from Slovenia, and unlike the USA, taking their chances. the Americans really needed to get a grip in the centre of the park. a Slovenia win certainly gives the green-light for Algeria to have a go tonight.

i always admire your honesty Cracker ;) another needless penalty conceded from the Balkans boys. obviously that's not going to be the biggest talking point but what a match, another fascinating Game 2 affair!

this ref is priceless. i'd love to see him officiate at a British non-league game, he'd have sent everyone off after about twenty minutes.

i do indeed believe it is Carra alas. as i said last night, i'm looking forward to a great day of World Cup action tomorrow (Fri 18th), oh and then there's the Group C matches as well... ...been having a look at the Yank press BTW, they are unnecessarily worried re the Slovenes...

<STRIKE>i'm sure w our best keeper Hart starting' the hugely impressively in-form Dawson paired alongside Terry, we'll see good changes from the disastrously slow Carra' and w J Cole let loose alongside Lennon' and Stevie left to wonder at will just behind Roonaldo; w the likes of Heskey and...

is that really true? my god, what a numpty, that's Glenn Hoddle managerial esque territory that :D

true about URU opener, and Paraguay are a tidy outfit. i didn't know that :D also, this French team must be about the most spectacular 'less than sum of parts' for some time.

though i will say i appreciate the way M_B is posting and keeping it constructive and polite, from their pov they clearly don't like them that much, their loudness etc, so that is something

you think they are shit, i don't, i think they are a laugh. (the bit of your quote i've bolded BTW is obv correct, but who said otherwise. you didn't really need to put that in, tbf.) asking 'would you like them in the Premiership' is a red herring, i am just commenting that people moaning...

sorry Droid, that was a bit of a pointlessly dick head post on my part, but i'll leave it up

don't think the Irish would've beaten Uruguay but point taken, and some justice has been restored w the waste man approach the French 'managed' :)

Dr Awesome's images are superb i must say :D

well said Grizzleb, well fucking said

this probably may sound damning w faint praise but i think M Bright has been my fave BBC co-commentator thus far. out of the ITV co-commentators, Craig Levein (well i think it was him, it was a Craig w a Scottish accent :D even if i never caught his last name) for Chile-Honduras has been the...

yes, tbh, it would have been a job for them to be more negative than they managed in the prior match, but they were a lot livelier today (albeit at times still treading water and not wanting to go forward or having any sense of urgency on occasion), but i'm made up for them, their first WC win...

well said. i'd love to ban parochial British tabloids, wallowing in their own insularity, bleating on and on about how these awful horns make such a frightful racket, you see, and don't you know that people are ringing up the BBC and ITV to complain, it's really not good enough, and oh just...

total French waste. Hodgson there w an almost philosophical/existential assessment of the malaise, the phenomenon, that is Domenech. unbelievable. as Roy H said, that languid air. man. i would love to see the French papers tmrw AM. (between this and the Lakers win, LA must be lively, too.) as...

the GER-AUS match was good for lookalikes. Ozil, Peter Lorre Klose, a bit like a taller version of the frontman from that band Muse Chipperfield, his brothers could be Tom Waits or Ron Perlman (the youngest brother could well be Nicky Butt)
