and i felt really sorry for the USA (not often i say that
) against italy - all the USA were trying to do was play a game of footy!
it wasnt really their fault that the italian players faked half a dozen "bad" tackles and got a half of them sent off
i guess the amercians need to prepare a bit more next time - maybe watch a bit of italian soccer on tv & see how they play the game....
and national stereotypes not withstanding, genuinely surprised no american multimillionaires tried to bribe any of the italian squad though

I know
, crazy result, well done Ghana
, I'm watching Italy v U.S.A, the Ref's sent off three players already, they're only 5 minutes into the second half
So much for my tipping them as potential winners after the first game.

I don't understand people who say "ooooo, we want to avoid Germany in the next round". If we want to be best in the world then we've gotta prove it by beating the top teams, rather than sneakily getting through to the next round thanks to avoiding the goodens. Just goes to show we're a bunch of spivs...

Doh..........
I get bored with 1966 being bought up ev-ery-time. We won it at home, like Greece won the Euro cup at home - being in your own country raises your game. To be the best, you've got to beat the best away. Oh yes.....

What does anyone reckon to Spain's chances?

Spain could do well. It depends who they get to face from group G, but I don't see them having problems against any of them.
But then in the quarters they'll probably have Brazil...

I think their squad has a good chance against the next oponent France.
But as Mark says, after France it's gonna get tough....

Maybe not you personally, but there was a fair amount of Scots over here supporting T&T because one of the players plays for the scottish league or something. And.... yes...because they played against England.
P.S. Is that Helga again?

Seconded!
Argentina will be the real thing, though I must say that Mexico performed better than I expected.
Holland today against Portugal. Tough one!
