I hope thatās not another Oasis pun. That only applies to Argentina.
Iād say another station somewhere in the English speaking world have nabbed him for the knockout stages.

oh and Oasis are a shower of dicks. why people keep brining them up in this thread I dont know.
England will be wearing red jerseys tomorrow.
Two important related points made by Nick Collins on Sky Sports News:
- England wore red jerseys in the 1966 final.
- Red jerseys may make Steven Gerrard and Glen Johnson feel more at home.
They were also on about getting a good 1/4 final by playing the winners of Uruguay or South Korea. What a shower of fucking idiots.

:rolleyes:
I passed out earlier watching the closing stages of the match. When i came round then i went to the pub for celebratory pints. Iām overjoyed that my beloved South Korea have made it through to the second round and we now have a tie against the Uraguayans. We can do this, weāre going to win the fucking thing.
Saw Uruguay were 35/1 to win the WC earlier yesterday and was all set to lump on as a back to lay. Completely forgot about it until late last night when they were 1-0 up on Mexico. Have thrown a few dollars on them at 26/1. At 22/1 generally. Can see them beating South Korea in the next round and wouldnt be surprised to see them knock out England or Ghana in the quarters.
Stuck 50 on Paraguay at 35/1 last night. They play NZ in the last game where a win will see them play Denmark or Japan. Think they are more than capable of making the quarters where the winners of Spain/Chile v Portugal should be too strong alright.
Hereās a real soccer player. USA USA USA!

Anybody got the comments that Anelka said to the French coach that got him booted home? If theyāve been mentioned already on here apologies.
According to French sports newspaper LāEquipe Anelka exploded in rage in the dressing room, verbally abusing the coach. He is reported to have said, āGo fuck yourself you son of a whore.ā
LāEquipe claim Domenech responded by substituting the player.
In fairness, iād say your on the ball here, from a backing to lay pint of view anyway.
We had players who have played well so far earlier in this thread from Bandage, so what about players who have disappointed, not really just shit players but players who have played shitter than expected.
Marek HAMSIK has been brutal for Slovakia. He let two games pass him by without getting on the ball much at all and giving it away when he did get hold of it. He looked physically weak in the Paraguay game.
Wayne ROONEY has been hilariously inept.
Franck RIBĆRY was as bad as the rest of his teammates in the competition. Rarely threated with the ball despite his obvious talent.
Kaka has been relatively piss poor. Think he may be struggling with the Brazilian system. Or he couldnāt be bothered till the next phase, which is quite possible.
Van Persie
Ronaldo
Xaxi, Villa, Iniestsa
Kaka had two assists the other night. I thought he visibly improved over both games and was getting back close to a very good level until that cheating cunt got him sent off.
Yea, I thought Kaka had a fine game againt Ivory Coast. 1 below par game does not a disappointing tournament make. You could toss Lampard and Gerrard in there if you wanted.
Did Villa not score a brace the other night?
I believe he scored the goal of the tournament so far MI.
I think Kev just watched the first round of games and made his judgements on that.
Iād like some clarification here from Kev, if possible?
Apart from having brilliant tournaments, Messi and Higuain have been really shit for us.
Di Maria has been disappointing so far.
Fabio Cannavaro has been hilariously shit. Somebody give that man a walking stick.
