What you on about man, you've theo and Crouch. 153410[/snapback] I'm seriously concerned though. I don't see England getting to the Final, but if we get to the semi I can see Rooney picking up a yellow in each of the QF and SF.

From today's Times. A bit OTT, but there's definitely some sense in what he's saying - we would drop him at our peril:

I thought v. Bronckhorst was the unluckiest sending off tbh. I'm glad Deco got sent off because he's a diving turd and I'd rather not see him against England.

I thought we looked much better in the 4-5-1 than a 4-4-2. I think we'll improve with that formation in the next game if he sticks with it. As for Rooney, he showed in the second half that he's already coming to terms with what being the lone striker involves. Stick with it IMO.

The reason you're more nervous is because it's sudden death now, Aussie boy. I know you're not used to this sort of thing so I'm glad I can help you to understand the feelings you're having. I reckon your World Cup journey ends today.

From the website: I had some sympathy up until that point. If you're that famous a celebrity you'll be able to stump up the cash without peddling shitty t-shirts, you tosser! Famous homeless celebrity before too long. Zack or AC Slater could get away with that talk. Screech can't.

If Rooney starts picking up yellows, England are screwed anyway. The first game he doesn't play in from now on, we're oot.

So Figo can't be punished for the headbutt because the ref gave him a yellow for it?! That's mental. I would give that ref the final tbh. Guaranteed it wouldn't be dull. All of the players on both sides were idiotic btw. They knew the ref had a screw loose, so instead of keeping their noses clean they all acted the idiot.

Have Portugal just won the World Cup or something???? The way they're going on!?

Haway let's have another Portugueser sent off, ref!

Kuyt looks a bit of a diving twat btw.

Is this one of Rio's World Cup Wind-Ups?

Quoted for truth, he's a luxury we can't afford, much like Laurent Robert in his latter days at the toon 153223[/snapback] Comparing him to that sackless lazy arsehole is out of order tbh. Robert's not fit to lace Beckham's boots. 153229[/snapback] I meant in terms of free icks and corners, not being a lazy fuck faced, frog eating shithouse 153232[/snapback] I'll let you off then. Seriously, Beckham has frustrated me so far in this tournament, but without him in the team I'm not sure we'd still be there. I think he's far from a luxury player.

I don't think his work rate is questionable at all tbh. And he won us the game today with a free kick. I'm a big fan of Beckham, and as much as he's misfired this tournament, I'd be loathe to drop him. If anything I'd take Lampard out the team, move Beckham inside and stick Lennon wide right.

Only me that didn't think we were that bad then? I reckon it's gonna take them being faced with decent competition for them to up their game.

That Osorio looks a canny player for Mexico. Where does he play his club football?

I scored better than that playing headers and volleys tbh.

Whatever happens with the result in this game now, I've got newfound respect for Mexico as a team. They've got some really good players and have given the Argentinians a hell of a fright. They might even put them out yet.

...but they obviously didn't. 152960[/snapback] What a spastic!

Fucking hell, this has the makings of a class game now that Mexico have gone one up. Class.

Argentina will win but I'm hoping for a better game than the German one. That was game over after 13 minutes or so.

Wacky, I switched to TalkTalk phone supply, but I'm not shifting to their Broadband. Their customer service for the phones is awful - you're looking at a minimum of half an hour to get through every time and some of the time they just cut you off when you're waiting. That's not too big a problem when you're just using the phone, but with something like Broadband where you might need to talk to them now and again, it's not worth the hassle IMO.

Sudoku? You WILD man!

Aye happy birthday spackajack.
