Faceplant at the end of it as well. It looked like a certain goal though. 149334[/snapback] Aye it wasn't a good landing. Still 0-0. I'd have taken that and the 2-0 at the beginning of the day. 149337[/snapback] Aye, fingers crossed it stays like this. 5 minutes or so to go. Brilliant for Sven if this happens. I would rest pretty much the entire team apart from Rooney and Owen for fitness purposes.

catmag blatantly mauling ITV's punditry team.

Urgh I've just seen that. What a twat! If the Sweden Paraguay match ends in a draw, I'd rest Gerrard AND Lampard in the Sweden game to let their yellow card count reset. If either of them get booked in the next match they'll miss the second round game. 149302[/snapback] Yellow card counts get reset after the group stage. Sweden are fairly ordinary tbh. 149319[/snapback] Aye that's what I said. Bans don't though - pick up a second yellow in the third group game and the ban carries forward to the knockouts. I realise you're new to this sort of thing, so I'll keep you right.

Copy and paste job mate. I'm scattering pearls all over the web tbh.

We have to bank on them winning that group tbh. If they don't though, then it's hard to say whether them or Ecuador would be the tougher opponent. We've got the history with the Jormans, but that doesn't mean we couldn't just as easily lose to Ecuador. We're gonna have to beat better teams than Jormany to stay in the knockouts anyway.

I can't stand him. Especially when he makes labrador eyes at the ref every time he's tackled. Pull away I say. We need Paraguay to win this right? 149292[/snapback] A draw's the best result for us cos then we've won the group. I think.

The temptation to grab that lad's little pigtail as he ran past, and rip it out of his head would be too much of a temptation for me I'm afraid.

Agree totally about the long ball thing. I feel sorry for Owen - he's clearly not on form, but in both games he's been taken off just as Sven changes the game more to suit his style. Firstly playing Cole in behind Crouch, it should have been Cole in behind Owen. Then bringing Rooney on today, it clearly should have been Rooney paired with Owen. At the end of the day you can't argue too much because Crouch stays on and scores, but it's so fucking frustrating the way Sven makes decisions sometimes. I'm very concerned at the prospect of Rooney-Crouch becoming the preferred strikeforce for the remainder of the tournament.

Why the spite Zath? 148796[/snapback] To be fair to Zathras, I took great delight in seeing the Yoo-ess-ay getting humped by the Czechs. 149132[/snapback] I'm used to dealing with the world's jealousy. 149212[/snapback] You must get a lot of that. What with shitting your pants and stuff.

Are Walkabouts not gay bars? Aussie-themed, so as good as tbh. The one in Brighton MUST be.

You've already just admitted you've done the housework in advance of my arrival.

Catmag's house. And there had better be something nice for tea.

Expect an "audacious" bid for someone this weekend which is marginally less than the asking price. Then expect the "that's our valuation, I'm not budging" statement from Shepherd on Tuesday the 20th.

You'll find out this weekend when they finally click and make mugs of you lot. Craig Moore is nailed on for his second yellow of the tournament and missing the third group game an'all.

Nah, I think I've got the Euro 96 one though. Surely someone somewhere has got it to download on limewire or something?

Eat shit you fat ginger wanker. And to the rest of you, it's just plainly obvious that you're all jealous and you wish you were an Aussie too. 149176[/snapback] Wondered how long it would take you tbh. Are you over there like Steve? I still think you'll struggle to make the second round btw.

Supermac talking sense for once.

Did Gullit really say that? Agree though, ITV's coverage is woeful. Thankfully most of the evening games so far have seemed to be BBC.

Clearly I'm on a higher comedic plane.

This is true. And will get you an even harder slap, I suspect.
