    What the hell was Pim thinking?!?! No Harry, Kennedy or Bresciano. Tim Cahill up front on his own. Germany were red hot but we didn't do ourselves any favours. We've gone from taking Italy to the wire in the last world cup to getting smashed by zee Germans :(

    I reckon resting/protecting them for winnable games.

    It doesn't exist anymore, it wasn't a real nation, just a state of nations...

    The player in qn is either Slovene, Croat, Serb, Bosnian, Hercogovinan, Montenegran, or Macedonian.....

    Sure it doesn't exist anymore but still Marko Marin was born in Bosanska Gradiška in (former) Yugoslavia. Today it would be Bosnia-Herzegovina.

    Been away for a few days, but here is my take.

    I think the US should be careful against Slovenia. Our D is rusty, especialy Onyewu.

    Argentina, Germany, SK, & Nigeria have looked the best so far.

    I would much rather listen to Martin Tyler over The MLS announcers anyday. Plus wasn't Harkes commentating with him anyway? Maybe you all need to play more FIFA to enjoy Martin. Too bad we don't get Andy Gray too.

    And how can anyone not know where Yugoslavia is/was? ;)
    NERDS!
  • Thoughts_ArriveThoughts_Arrive Posts: 15,165
    I know what it was man, shits me when people still call someone a Yugoslavian or say they are from Yugoslavia.


    And Martin Tyler is the king, haven't heard him call this WC?
    Is he retired?

    He did the US vs. England game plus another one. Clyde Tylsdey (sp) is doing games too.

    a 1-1 tie...........ladies and gentlemen: the problem with soccer.
    :roll:

    what an idiotic statement. Its the worlds most popular sport. There is no problem.

    I'm glad your country don't grasp the concept. Means you can live in your isolated bubble of shit sports and proclaim fucking teams from Idaho as WORLD CHAMPS even though only US teams play.

    problem with soccer... get a grip infant.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Some of the best games I've ever seen have been 0 - 0 draws. Uruguay and France on Friday was a great game, and not a goal in sight. There's no point in listening to such statements Dunky. They're obviously the result of a profound misunderstanding of the beautiful game, and of course an attention span shorter than a sparrow's.

    Actually this fits in perfectly with the new American way of thinking when it comes to youth sports - there are no winners or losers.

    Ah yes, the 'everybody get out there and play' approach. I'm a big supporter of this to an extent. It's important to get kids out playing, no matter what the sport. it's always good to encourage interest in sports - but there's gotta be winners and losers Kids need to learn competitiveness too.

    I just think haters of soccer have short attention spans.
    Even cricket lovers are short on patience now with all this 20/20 shite.

    Great follow up running from Kuyt there. Much better goal on second viewing.

    i love cricket..twenty20 is brilliant,its showmanship, great enteraintment ....BUT IS NOT TEST CRICKET.

    nothing beats the ashes 5 days of pure battling cricket.we have been spoilt over the last few years of ashes cricket..swings one way then back agian..cant wait for them to start again.

    off to a one day on the 30th..pre ashes arsewhipping for the oz's :twisted:

    as for the football was it not the americans that wanted to make the goals bigger and have 1/4 so to have more advert space when they had the worldcup..enough said

    I enjoyed the Ghana match for the drama at the end.
    Holland look as if they could be dangerous. They sorted out Denmark without breaking into a sweat.
    I think my village team could have stuffed Australia. You don't expect me to compliment their opposition do you?

    but I agree ... ..the rest are fairly forgettable, although Robert Green did add a bit of light comedy.
