:spin2:

i know there's an england topic but who knows, you might have a vested interest in the Ghana team.

[Ninastar]

Go USA, Germany and Australia.

"Anybody but Engerland" is the phrase you were searching for :joker:

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Usa match is much better.... couldnt stand the commantrys over rating england again :(

[30stone]

Anybody but England is a load of crap.

1 - 0 :)

[Claymores]

Usa match is much better.... couldnt stand the commantrys over rating england again :(

Like listening to Alex Ferguson commentating on a Man U game :hugesmile:

[Ramsay]

Anybody but England is a load of crap.



aye

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Looks like 0-0 for usa and algeria at half time

[Ramsay]

I hope USA get through

[DrunkerThanMoses]

45 Mins for Usa to win

and for england to draw :p

[Shaun]

Aw, that Dempsey goal should've counted [I have him in my fantasy league]

[setanta]

And the other thing to remember is that you'll need another goal to come first in the group if USA grab a goal against Algeria. You don't want to be facing Germany in the next round.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Well ill comment on the usa match then

[Ninastar]

Both USA goals should have counted!

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Still 0-0

[DrunkerThanMoses]

:0 Good job usa!

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Damn their both so close!

[DrunkerThanMoses]

God is usa nearly score, algeria then nearly score!

[Shaun]

I predict Germany will finish top, Serbia second.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I predict Germany will finish top, Serbia second.

Looks that way, serbia needs to score a couple to get top place if both teams win their matches to make up goal difference!

[BBfanUSA]

Donovan's Goal was epic! tried going on twitter most likely down becasue of Donovan

[alc09]

The pundits and Gerrard make it sound like England have just battered Brazil 3-0. It was a 1-0 win against a country with a population of 2 million.

Positive for sure, but still a long way to go.

[Wildcat!]

Yeah they really need to get a grip! But thats english fans for you, even the comentators. If they lose they are the worst team in the world, they win one game, and its we are gonna win the cup!

They need to take it one game at a time, and improve on this.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Go Socceroos! I want them to go through but they need to score a shed load of goals and hope ideally that Ghana win.

[GiRTh]

Come on Ghana. They almost scored

[MissKittyFantastico]

Ahhh I hate this having two games on at the same time shizz

[GiRTh]

Germany v Ghana is the best game so far.

[Wildcat!]

Thats hilarious to see 2 brothers playing against each other for 2 different countries in the WC! LOL!

[Kerry]

Tut tut yet another handball in the Cup

[Locke.]

When Ghana have the ball in the Germany half the German's don't seem dedicated enough with their tackles, they're just going in lightly then backing off. Can see Ghana clinching this.

So far so good :)

[Kerry]

Did you get to see the England match Locke?

[Locke.]

Na I was in alton towers, last day in college. Just watched the highlights when I got in and was getting updates on my phone off my mate

[MissKittyFantastico]

Ghana can win this, just need to keep pushing forward and exposing the German defence which actually doesn't look that great.

[Kerry]

Na I was in alton towers, last day in college. Just watched the highlights when I got in and was getting updates on my phone off my mate

Thats what I wondered. Remembered you mentioning it last night and wondered if you'd managed to sort something out and watch

[James]

Glad to see Southgate calling the handball decision right at half-time. Some of these commentators drive me mad sometimes lol...

[Locke.]

We was gonna go the pub in there to watch the first half but we was in the middle of the que for the Thirteen ride at 3, and didn't end up on the ride til 3.40 :o

[Kerry]

Can't imagine that wait was nice in this heat

[Kerry]

...and Germany score..

[Wildcat!]

OMG NoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! :( :( :( :( :(

[MissKittyFantastico]

Ah bollocks Germany 1-0 up

Come on Ghana!!

[Locke.]

Quality goal.

Ghana are going to score if they keep pressing now.

[Shaun]

I suppose we can take solace from the fact that Germany aren't doing that good either.

[Kerry]

After the first results I'm just chuffed we're through the groups. I'm gonna just enjoy anything else...



Oh who am I kidding.... I'll be in bits wether we win or lose now :laugh:

[Wildcat!]

YESA AUStralia has scored!!!!!!!!!!!! Good for Ghana! :)

[MissKittyFantastico]

Timmy Cahill has scored for the Socceroos!!

Come on Ghana!!!

[Wildcat!]

Australia is really unlucky! Played with 10 men in 2 games, and still got adraw agaisnt ghana! They must feel hard done by!

[MissKittyFantastico]

The Socceroos played their socks off last game as well to draw with Ghana


And they've scored again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wildcat!]

Aussie scores again!!! Damn!!!

[MissKittyFantastico]

Amazing goal by Holman from 35 yards out!

My god they aren't out of this yet!

[Kerry]

Bloody hell, what a goal

[Wildcat!]

Amazing goal by Holman from 35 yards out!

My god they aren't out of this yet!

they have to score 2 more goals!! Their 4-0 loss to germany really hurt them.

[MissKittyFantastico]

If Germany score another goal and the Socceroos can score again they will go through!!

[setanta]

Much better quality in this match. England wont have much chance against these lads if they continue to play like they did this afternoon.

[King Gizzard]

Looking forward to playing the Germans

[Kerry]

Looking forward to playing the Germans

I reckon they will play better against them over Ghana. They seem to rise to a challenge

[MissKittyFantastico]

Come on Timmy you legend, score another two with your head!

[MissKittyFantastico]

**** Serbia just got one back 2-1 now

[Kerry]

Hate it when they go over old facts. Has no relevance to this year at all. Both ITV and the BBC do it.

[King Gizzard]

I've given up caring who we will play in the next round

Anything can happen on the night

[MissKittyFantastico]

Serbia just had another goal disallowed

Yeah I feel the same tbh Nate, we need to up our game a bit more whoever we play, it doesn't really make that much difference

[Kerry]

I've given up caring who we will play in the next round

Anything can happen on the night

Exactly. Thats why I'm fed up of the constant referrals to the past. Each game is a game in it's own right. Who cares what happened in the bloody 70's or 80's or even last week actually

[King Gizzard]

The urgency is upped in the next game, and there wont be any complacency that we've blatently had in the first 2 matches

[Kerry]

England need to play better but I was impressed today. Not a World Cup winning performance though but in all honesty I'm yet to see one. It seems a bit of a scrappy year

[MissKittyFantastico]

Definitely all played better today, like you said though we seem to play better both against better sides and when the pressure is really on.

Milner and Defoe made all the difference today, Milner was MOTM for me. Defence still a bit shaky but apart from that I was impressed. And no team is playing to it's full potential yet, slow starts mean nothing.

[Wildcat!]

Its looks like its gonna be Germany England, Ghana USA!

IU have a a feeling the second game is gonna be very exciting wide open game!

[Locke.]

[MissKittyFantastico]

Germany and Ghana through.

Really happy for Ghana, gutted for Australia though :(


Bring on Germany on Sunday, that'll be a cracker :)

I thought Ashley Cole was MOTM (for me) and I never EVER thought I'd think that! Following that, great game by James

[Vladimir]

i'm soooooo pissed off :/

[King Gizzard]

Glen Johnson had a shocker, particulary the first 10 minutes

[MissKittyFantastico]

I thought Ashley Cole was MOTM (for me) and I never EVER thought I'd think that! Following that, great game by James

Cole played really well today (I hate him off the field but on it he is usually pretty much faultless and he was today). James proved that he should have been named #1 before the tourney even started imo.

[Kerry]

Did Fabio just say they went out and drank beer? :joker:

[MissKittyFantastico]

I think so Jaye :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

Don Fabio

so frustrating and annoying but becoming a legend at the same time..

[Kerry]

Don Fabio

so frustrating and annoying but becoming a legend at the same time..

I've always liked him. He's a bit bonkers

[MissKittyFantastico]

I still have my doubts about him but he's very likeable, I love his gurning during matches, he was on form today lol

[Kerry]

I like how the Beeb set his flouncing to music earlier :D

[MissKittyFantastico]

I like how the Beeb set his flouncing to music earlier :D

Hahaha yeah that was hilarious :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

The newsflash earlier was harsh, I hope BBC get in trouble

[MissKittyFantastico]

I missed that, I was fannying about, what happened?

[King Gizzard]

In the middle of the pre match build up, Lineker was like all serious and said something like we've got to cut to BBC for some breaknews, it cut to bbc and it was going theirs a massive virus..all serious then it went on just to be a gag about England Fever

I was bloody scared

[MissKittyFantastico]

Omg that's really not funny!!

[alc09]

There were ten German bombers in the air,
There were ten German bombers in the air,
There were ten German bombers, Ten German bombers,
There were ten German bombers in the air,
And the RAF from England shot one down,
And the RAF from England shot one down,
And the RAF from England, The RAF from England,
And the RAF from England shot one down

[Shaun]

except the RAF is British. [/every single bloody English-German "war" chant the Sun readers conjure up]

[Big Brother Fan]

Plus the fact the RAF were waaaay weaker than the Luftwaffe in WWII and should have been completely destroyed.
