World Cup 2006 Thread

[sherer]

would have made the group very interesting if they had lost or got a draw..

seeing as no one has said it yet nice to France only get a draw at the weekend

[Gareth]

Yeah, the Tunisian keeper is a bit of a Jekyl and Hyde... produced some outstanding saves, but made a huge mistake coming out so far on Spain's 2nd goal.

By the way, anyone else think Ian Wright is useless as a studio guest? He was a very good player, but he should leave the TV appearances to other, more capable people.

Yep, Tunisia had a few good players.

Predictions for tomorrow night please.

I'll go for a 2 - 1 win for England

Edit: Our Mr Blair on 5 live tonight did not rule out a public holiday if England win the competition........so there's the kiss of death there then

I think I'll sit on the fence and go with a draw, we never seem to beat Sweden.

Italy coach Marcello Lippi apparently had this to say about Daniele De Rossi's sending off for elbowing the USA's Brian McBride: "I have left him to boil in his own soup. He's a fantastic guy, but he must change his computer chip."

Why do you think I posted it

Actually, I think he looks more like Mrs Nug, just with my haircut. Still, could have been worse, eh

[TheDaddy]

2- 0 to Germany at half time, not to much for England to worry about, providing we win the group of course

I guess one day we will beat the Swedes 2 - 2 FT

One day I think England will realise our national team are not very good

They have yet to really click, which worries me a bit

well they better start clicking now or it will be another early bath

[danielf]

Some dire defending on that second Sweden goal...
