Best goal celebration ever.

RVN misses a penalty against Andorra. One of the Andorra players makes fun of him (@ 10 seconds). Watch RVN take revenge as he scores 10 minutes later. :D

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

I loved the build up video with Lineker and Shearer. Brilliant.

Not sure about introducing a completely new formation for our most crucical game in years.

Squeaky bum time.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

FFS why not??

Has he porked Capello's missus or something?

Brian Blessed video... COME ON ENGLAND !

Brian Blessed at his best, if the "Once more unto the breach" speech from Henry V didn't send a shiver down every Englishmen/womens spine, then I don't know what would...great stuff Brian.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

... and now we can all take a breath. :) I don't even like football but I enjoyed that match. :)

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

It should have been more comfortable than it was, BUT, I am not complaining.

The only worrying thing was the tiredness of some players at the end.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

USA have scored meaning Slovenia is out. USA and runners up England now through to the last 16.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

:woot:

Well done lads :tu:

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Looks like we will face Germany now.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Any idea as to why USA gets top spot as the GD and points is the same?? I take it's on goals scored as USA is on 4 and England on 2??

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Yes it is...

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Well Done England!

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

I would rather we play Germany. We will find out in a few hours though.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Well played England but come on! This team where poor to say the least, they should have had no trouble sticking at least 3 past them. This may have put a sticking plaster over the wound but it will soon fall off.
As soon as they come up against any half decent opposition (probably next game) they will be lose unless they play with more composure. Still to many basic errors and not enough skill/ability to keep the ball.

At least they won though...............just! :)

p.s. Thought Milner had a great game but he looked cream crackered half way through the second half. It`s probably put another couple of million on his price tag :shocked:

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Matty, England won and they was playing with alot more composure and with the spirts been high they can only improve now, Gerrard has now been given a more free role and Defoe is on form, not sure what to do about Rooney, but Joe Cole was little shining star.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Joe cole has always been a shining star, rooney needs his arse kicking as do most of the England players.:erm:
I wish i could get paid that much for doing a ****** poor job.!!
Congrats on the win lads but you`ve been **** in this competition so far.:mad:Buck your idea`s up ffs.:(
Play to win and feel like you will win.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Interestingly, one of Uruguay, South Korea, USA and Ghana are going to be in the semi-finals. Probably none of them would have thought so going in to the tournament.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

So it's Germany in the next round then.
I think it will be a tight game and if we continue to improve we will nick it, fingers crossed :cool:

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

5-1 like last time would be brilliant but Argentina after Germany (well if we beat Germany)

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

I hope England are practising penalties. ;)

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Would it be a good world cup for us if we had the likes of South Korea, Ghana or USA at this stage. So to get Germany the build up now will make it more the better no matter what. Ok Argentina is scary thought.

I'm hopeful based on what I saw last night against Ghana that England does have a good chance.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

I'd rather we knock Germany out now than have to face them later, at this point we'll be more relaxed than in the finals

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

This year's world cup is sounding a bit familiar.

The French give up, the Americans decide to turn up at the last minute and England are left to face the Germans.

Lots of jokes about atm (have cleaned some of them up for this forum

Whats the difference between Cinderella and the England football team?
Cinderella wanted to get to the ball....

Osama bin Laden has just released a new TV message to prove he is still
alive. He said that the England Team performance on Saturday was completely
rubbish. British intelligence have dismissed the claim, stating that the message
could have been recorded anytime in the last 44 years.

Robert Green - The only man to leave Africa with out catching anything .


I can't believe we only managed a draw against a crap team we should easily
have beaten......I'm ashamed to call myself Algerian.

The England team went to visit an orphanage in South Africa this morning,
"its so good to put a smile on the faces of people with no hope, constantly
struggling, and facing the impossible" said Jamal Omboto, aged 6.


Fifa have released a statement saying the fan didn't break into the
dressing room after all, but was let in by Rob Green.


What's the difference between Rob Green's spill and BP's spill?
- Robert Green has got a cap for his.

Fabio Capello was wheeling his shopping trolley across the supermarket car
park when he noticed an old lady struggling with her bags of shopping. He
stopped and asked, "Can you manage dear?" To which the old lady replied,
"No way. You got yourself into this total mess, don't ask me to sort it
out..."

The FA have launched an inquiry to find out how a fan found his way into
the dressing room. And another enquiry into how Aaron Lennon found his way
into the dressing room.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Italy out of the World Cup. :erm:

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

there is at least 1 bright note for the italians which is they got 1 point more then the french and have a better goal difference as well

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Ah well not long before England is knocked out for good as they have no chance under the sun against the might of Germany :D

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Yeah but they had New Zealand in their group......

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

TAXI for Italy Please :D

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Ah yeah I forgot the rule that states you're not allowed to criticise or make fun of England unless your own team qualified :D

Already that joke is so old, it's cringeworthy. It's not even correct either.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Are those Japanese names for real? I though Dixons made Matsui up....anyway, I'm tipping Panasonic to score their third.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

nah toyota, nissan and sony are next for scoring

Well it does kind of help to have your team there if you want to be taken seriously... :)

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

wasnt a convincing game Cameroon vs Holland but a win is a win and Robben did perform as expected :D
soft penalty given and 1 hard 1 denied oh well.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Thankfully the rest of the world doesn't share that view - does same apply in the domestic game if your team gets booted out of a cup tournament or is that different?

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

The rest of the World that didn't qualify you mean, like Welsh/Scottish/Irish criticism of our performances means anything, no ones listening Russ, we are to busy at the World Cup.

No that's very different, obviously you wont know the difference though as Wales haven't qualified in your life time.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

I heard that the England/Germany rivalry is pretty much one way. That is Germany they don't consider us any more of a rival than France/Italy and so on?

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

You're right, Holland is their big rival...

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

And rightly so. The word you're looking for is Angstgegner. :)

If England miss out, I will be rooting for the Dutch, it is about time you won it. You are FIFA ranked 4th after all.

Come on you Oranje's :erm:

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/06/27.jpg

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Glad you cleared that up - so when England get knocked out again I promise I won't remind you of it for the next few months.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

I doubt much got done in Italy today, the`ll all be :(

Defending champs out in the knockout stages :shocked: Slovakia looked a half decent team, if you won your group then had to play them next up you`d be gutted...

Also it was nice to see the South Africans have adopted England as their second team, we need all the support we can get (even Scots, Welsh and Irish.);)

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

England have scored 2 goals so far and that's what worries me. With Rooney not playing that well, where are the goals going to come from against Germany ?

On the plus side, if we can stop Kloser from scoring we should be in with a good chance of going through to the next round.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

The Germans are not playing well at all so far, so, what does everyone think our chances are? I think we can go all the way this time;) I`ve just got a feeling.:angel: England 3 Germany 2.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

They played well in the first game, also England are not playing great. Be a close one tomorrow I suspect but we may just do it but then go out against Argentina.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

I hope you are right, I just hope it doesn't go to penalties.

Three quick goals in the first twenty minutes would do me.

I must watch it on freeview instead of Virgin, last time I heard the cheers from others in the street before I saw what happened :mad:

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Woops, poor USA if this is the sign of things to come

USA0-Ghana1 after 4 minutes

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

England played totally crap in the first two games.
I`m positive we can beat the Germans,:)

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Want the Americans to do well. Nice to see them gain the support of a country which previously ignores the sport. Also I like the country generally.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Not long back from Canada, great place to watch the world cup with so many cultures around, loads of cars with England/German/Italian flags on them. The front page of the main Toronto newspaper on the Sunday after the first England game was of Robert Green - think you want to add there to a list of places to avoid during international tournaments Russ ;)

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Sorry but will always support one of the African teams over the USA, it really does hurt them that they can't be good at a sport that doesn't involve constant stop/starting :)

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

It's not that America ignores the sport, its that just it's considered effeminate. Fathers in the UK dread the day their son says they want to be a ballet dancer, and fathers in the US dread the day their son says they want to be a soccer player. Soccer is big over there but primarily by women and small children.

Also worth bearing in mind regarding World Cup 1994 in the US

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Funny how they find football 'effeminate' yet they tend to consider rugby players a bit mad because they think it's the same as their 'football' without all the padding :D

I wouldn't say they got spanked. They lost, but they put up a damn good fight.

Well done Ghana. :clap: :clap:

Good to see an African team progressing. I think they'll struggle against Uruguay though.

Anyone dare to predict the score for tomorrows England game?

Germany 3 - England 2

What are your predictions for the England - Germany game then Dan ?

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Too close to call. I hope England win it, but I'm not expecting a goalfest. 1-0 or 2-1. I'm not sure which way.

Arrogant' English anger world's media

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...27/2938015.htm

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

Germany 4 - 1 England

Rooney will score first and the whole country will get big headed and cocky then James will get sent off then Green will go in goals - and we know what happens when Green is in goals.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

We won't score.

Germany 3 - 0 England

Germany will get an early-ish goal (~20 mins) and the game will go abck and forth for a while. Then Germany will get two more between 70-90 mins in.

The only thing that's peeing me off more than England's performance over all 4 games is Blatter's insistance that referee's egos are more important than enforcing the rules and having just games.
