world cup football

[Lc_shi]

is there football fans here?
I've watched some games. German and Itlay are good.
England's performance is so so

[cruzeiros]

It's not the same without Romania in it.

Spain looks good, and Czech Republic also. I wish one of these two take the trophy.

[Josip]

Hi,

we are there, but playing with Brasil it seems too hard to win , or that was just bad luck, who knows?

Hope we can do better later on

Best regards,

Josip

[Abe]

Spain played just brilliantly. The Germans however gave us a lack lustre but polished performance.

Brasil were dissapointing, they are like an accelerator pedal, they press down when the pressure is on, otherwise, they are laid back.

England play a well tried, hard game always. With the pressure mounting , things will get a little more exciting now.

Im looking out for the Spaniards, and am wishing England all the way

[Temprite]

Strange?

No mention of the Aussies?

[Abe]

Sorry Temprite

Pat on the back for the Aussies.
They did good, all all credit to them.

Maybe, a team to watch out for in the future as their game matures

[frank]

I don't follow football but from memory - don't those Aussie guys keep picking the ball up and then run away?

[Abby Normal]

You learn something new everyday. After Ghana's win, I overheard "The seppoes are out" in a pub. I got the slang explained to me by a local Brit.

[Sir Josiah Sodd]

................After Ghana's win, I overheard "The seppoes are out" in a pub.

Beats me why they were in to begin with..........

[Abe]

Forgive my ignorance.........

Whats a sepphoe???

[Sir Josiah Sodd]

Forgive my ignorance.........

Whats a sepphoe???

Allow me to enlighten you.

In rhyming slang, the second word rhymes with the objective. Sometimes even this is subject to modification.

In this instance,

Seppoes = Septics = Septic Tanks = Yanks.

i.e. "..the seppoes are out" means 'In the World Cup, the Americans were about to enjoy an early Hamburger'.

England's last game today so make the most of it lads.

Better luck next time.

[Abe]

Thanks Sir Josiah...........
Ok, I understand now..........

Hello my friend .
I think that Equador is a good team , also you know Brazil and Argentina.
My oppinion is that if not to this mundial but the ather some team from Africa will be to the semi final if not to the final.
Greetings from Athens / Glyfada.

LMFAO

How are Wales getting on?

[old gas bottle]

nice one matey,me thinks he,s being a bit "sheepish",come on england !!

[Abe]

England are this years winners......
Ive watched all the games so far, its about temperament.

Brazil have not impressed me, they have a cavalier attitude and their "stars" are a depleted lot way past their prime.

The England team are " primed" superbly and fit the bill.

[chillin out]

Can we stop this thread for a minute or two while Im sick....LOL

WTF was that about??????

It was probably the sight of posh that done it....LOL

Chillin

[Abe]

As luck would have it, I have so many breakdowns and compressor changes.......

Im changing the compressor in the pub......yes at 4 pm tomorrow.

My head will be craned looking at the large screen, and I hope not too much of that yellow stuff gets sloshed on me.

[Sir Josiah Sodd]

If there's any justice our teutonic cousins will eliminate the gauchos today.....

Unlikely, though.

[Abe]

That " flare up" at the end was a disgrace

[Josip]

Hi,

seems this is European cup football

Best regards, Josip

[Abe]

England can hold their heads up High
For over an hour they played with ten men
They played their hearts out

The England team did us proud
Thank you boys

but you must admit Rooney had to go out and that is not good excuse.

Croatian team was very bad and they deserve to go back home, no excuse

Let's ask some other guys about

Best regards, Josip

[frank]

Just for the record, I don't watch football or have any real interest in the sport. However, I was having a "couple" of beers tonight in the nearest hostelry to my abode and happened to see the penalty shoot out.

Not calling anyone etc. but - is that the best they can do ?

Played 120 minutes and then it's all decided on penalty kicks?

Come on ! you can't complain if they can't do it in 120 minutes and then start crying because they are now going home.

I'm more concerned about what the WAGS will do now.

[WebRam]

I have watched a lot of the games this year and I have to say what a load of codswallop. All the teams looked like they were playing for draws. And England, dear god ..... with all that tallent, they have played crap. Someone needs to burst a few English player bubbles and get them to start playing like a team.

[old gas bottle]

what a shower of s**t that game was, i have got two more workshirts, we should and could have wooped them easy , first half it should have been all over,too well paid and bone idle, never mind,be there to support them all over again in four years.

[Abe]

I must admit, I watched the France Brazil game, and the French played superbly

Im just upset because my , my country lost
and, if only Rooney had kept his composure.

Too many if,s

If only Crouch had more support
If only there were more strikers
If only Beckham was not injured

[slingblade]

I thought this was worth repeating

OK ill repeat 1 of mine with just 1 minor adjustment.


How are Scotland getting on?

but you must admit Rooney had to go out and that is not good excuse.

That is where you are wrong my friend. it was never a red card offence. however a certain nameless individual who winked at his coach just afterwards will be made to suffer at the hands of all English fans when he returns to Man U. next season, if not Man u. fans then certainly everone they play. if he comes back LOL.

Enough said.

Hurt somebody's genitals purposelly , is not for red card

maybe other guys here would like to say something about?

Best regards, Josip

The English are poor losers

Kind Regards Andy

The pertinent , operative word is " purposively"
Was it??

Was it malicious, intentional, premeditated?
Nope.
It was a scruff and the foot just coincidentally found itself in that players box.

Definately not a red card offence

[WebRam]

Scotland are ****e and we all know that. We have never said anything to the contrary.

England, on the other hand, have been proclaiming themselves the second and third coming of Brazil ....... looks like you got that well wrong, and by god, you are sore losers

It’s been fun looking at all those flags in the gutter on the motorways’ though

[WebRam]

Hey Andy, you and me need to keep quite and let them burn themselves out

[Lc_shi]

Football is just a game which should bring pleasure not pain.

I bet with my colleague and win 4 canned beer. It's not too bad

[mke005]

Come on Guys! Germany is going to be the next world champions, they deserved it after Argentina stole the cup on Mexico `86, I was there!!!

[amario]

I like argentina most,do you remember 6 to 0?

[jamcool]

"viva La France":d

[Andy]

Hey Andy, you and me need to keep quite and let them burn themselves out

I could add that N. Ireland are not even in the world cup and they beat the English in a Friendly

When N. Ireland beat you it's time to quit

Kind Regards Andy

Thanks for help about english words, I'm trying to express myself the best I can but sometimes...

If I was in Rooney's place and did it just coincidentally I will come immediately down to that poor guy telling him honestly I'm so sorry. For me that is fair play, whatever will happen after. What did Rooney ?

Best regards, Josip

Not quite. We still have players who know how to use their elbows.

[slingblade]

Not quite. We still have players who know how to use their elbows.

Agreed.
Take for instance M Schumacher, a professional cheat. And then Ferrari a team of professional cheats who enhanced his career by cheating. it becomes difficult to pick a side between the Germans or the Italians for the win. rest assured there will be plenty of cheating though, elbows or otherwise.

Yes, agreed, damage limitation would have helped, like putting hands up in the air, saying youre sorry, ( When really youre not) pretending, putting on a sorry face, etc. That is a type of " fraud" Insincere, cheating

With Rooney, he is not that type of personality to go for that articulate acting, he is a lad, not versed in artistry, diplomacy or tact.

You punch him, he gives you one back. He is not for senstivity or emotion.

He in all honesty fought for the ball, his objectives were clear, but they were overly misconstrued by ref aided by winker, and he paid the price.

Hope that helps Josip?? if nothing your spelling will improve!!!

[slingblade]

OK someone has to ask, WTF was that headbutt all about?

[Abe]

This is what is was all about

[Lc_shi]

It's pity to see France lost in such way

[spr2003]

It's pity to see France lost in such way

Not for everybody...........

[DeB]

What is all the fuss about. Why not eliminate the game all together and just have a penalty shoot out? How can anyone be a legitimate world champion based on 2 players taking turns at each end? To say nothing of the plater who tripped on his Tutu and got his team into the finals with a penalty goal. And the head butt! What a dive. Could anyone seriously imagine a Rugby,Gridiron. Australian Rules or Gaelic footballer going down from that nudge in the chest? I doubt it would happen in Netball!
