Somehow I can't imagine Waddle's head was full of those distractions. He just fucking sky'd it. Most left footers are 'touch' players, they are instictive, the left foot is wired closer in the brain to the creative axis. Should be kept away from pens which is less about instinct and more about regimented repeitition.

Nice.

Capello practices pens as Ericksson used to. The main probs with Eng and pens is that their heads are swimming with ideas about nightclubs, wags, models, gold jewellry, betting scams, poncey underwear and the pen goes sailing over the bar.

Spain are crap, will be murdered by the first decent side they meet, probs Portugal.

The omens have changed, I've found me Ajax away top. Quite and indepeth interview with the German management team this morning, noticed Lowe was heavy on the platitudes and that team manager (former striker) had distinctly iffy body language, kept rubbing his neck as he spoke. They all laughed when they talked about the "elve meter" as Germans refer to penalties in their frenzied search for order.

The only skinhead I knew hung himself after a quart of glue.

They seem to have gone mad this game though.

Pre-match draw agreed isn't it..

Love Grisham. Nowt wrong with it.

Capello can be quite fearsome when he gets going by all accounts.

All that nudging and elbowing must be killing Pearce short fuse an all...

Not read loads of his stuff but 'Steppenwolf' and 'Siddhartha' are quality. The former's hard work like. Got an unread copy of The Glass Bead Game at home, read 'Demian' most recently which i remember being easier to read than most of his work. Steppenwolf is class too. Never read Siddharta. Glass Bead Game is unreadable, tried twice.

I'm up to 7 minutes now...when does the intro finish you cunt? The world's first ever techno record imo, written in 1971. You down with Ash Ra / Manuel Gottsching / Klaus Schulze? Class. Had a couple of those Klaus Schulze on vinyl a few years back....Moody like an intercity train through snow held fields.

In no way I said or wanted to suggest that there isn't any rivalry. Of course England is seen as a rival - how could it not looking at the history of the teams and those classic matches? Of course there is a fair share of idiots thinking of English people as "Inselaffen" but then I think the predominant feeling of the gereral public towards England rather is one of respect. And as much as our only tabloid (Bild Zeitung) is probably trying to stir things up a bit themselves, people are not getting as agitated about the match as English people do. It's a match at the knock-out stage of the World Cup, it's a match against a good team and an old rival. But in the end that's it. It's totally different to the climate a match against the Dutch would create, which would indeed bring out the awfully worst from the German majority. You can also argue that a match against Italy - another rival - would bring out more venom from the common "kleine Deutschländer". I was thinking about what the European equivalent of Brazil - Argentina was last night, as i was trying to explain to our lass how big the game was. I said (i promise) that Germany - Italy probably should be considered the biggest game in Europe because of their respective tournament records but for us, Germany is the biggest. I then continued that, its also about the history between the teams and the perception of under-performing, or bad luck (penalities etc) from us that means a victory in an important match is due but it fell on deaf ears as by this time, she'd fallen asleep.

1-2 to Germamy. Let's hope my record at predictions holds firm.

I have my Holland top in reserve for later tournament eventualities.

I have an honorary degree from Neuschwanstien for military studies with special referance to the Tiger 2 tank and its ability to supress a whole French village.

The odds are that to win a World Cup you will have to win a penalty shootout somewhere along the way. Of the last 5 winners, only 1 hasn't had to face a penalty shootout somewhere along the way.

Is that with reference to that bloke who flew in the BOB, with one arm and one leg who shot 22 of them down? Assuming it's Douglas Bader, who lost his legs in a flying accident pre war, became a Wing Leader before being shot down and captured. Coincidently I have his autograph on a rather fine first edition print by Taylor. I'm guessing like Bader you are a little stumpy twat Fuvk me the gloves have come off early.

:rolleyes: Is that with reference to that bloke who flew in the BOB, with one arm and one leg who shot 22 of them down? Aye, I started calling Danny B it for a while. I.e. hasn't got a leg to stand on. He lost both legs in a plane crash I think and then was later allowed to fly again for the RAF. Also, was he the one with the dog called 'Nigger'? Apparently he trained it to shit in the neighbours garden.
