If you don't like it, George, you don't have to come in here. :P I don't go in all the baseball and hockey threads and start yawning.

Oh right. I didn't know it was 0:0. I just knew it was tie and (for some strange reason) presumed it was 1:1.

That was great for T&T to be able to tie Sweden.

England have not beaten Sweden in international matches since 1968, but I think England's midfield will make the difference. Sweden looked very uninspiring today, and couldn't hold the ball well in the midfield.



England have one brilliant skill in their favour. If someone even snaps one of their nails they will roll around on the floor screaming in pain until they have the ref's attention and get a free kick, then jump up and run about fine immediately after the kick is given. :rolleyes: :sombrero:

I never thought the English were the worst divers. Not as bad as the Italians, anyway.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

Holland - Serbia & Montenegro is starting in a couple minutes. Should be a good match.

Holland won 1-0. Van Der Sar made a couple mistakes, but they still won.

have mexico-iran on the tube.

commentators (ABC from usa) seem to be trying to avoid political snafoos.

abit ironic that the game is in nurenberg of all places.

anyway...i dont mix politics and sport.

but....hard to avoid the subtext below the game.

^_^ Yeah I agree, the English aren't the worst. There are other countries that put a little more drama into their dives. Better acting coaches, maybe. :P

I hope Angola win.
I hate the Portugal team (another bunch of cheaters). Last world cup, they tried to convince Korea to not try to win in their game (a draw would have meant Portugal and Korea went through to the second round). Korea played for the win, and beat Portugal, so USA and Korea went through. Portugal went home, as they deserved to do.

Yeah, I wonder if there's a holocaust museum there?

Actually I hope Iran beat Mexico. I can't stand that team either (which the USA regularly beats), and I can't stand their coach. Obnoxious seems to be a requirement for coaching the Mexican team.

Thanks for the reminder. I knew there was something ugly about the Portugal team in the last cup, but couldn't remember what it was all about.
Another reason to cheer on Angola.

Mexico wins 3-1. Iran seemed to have run out of gas (no pun intended).
Mexico looks better organised this year.

With Sweden not winning yesterday, England are practically through to the next round.

It would be great if Dwight Yorke and company could beat England, but I don't see it happening.

Mexico is a good team. More organized than I've seen them in a long time. The only reason the US beats them almost every time, is they hate us, which makes them play dirty.
I would say Angola have a shot against Mexico, but it's unlikely. Their group, IMO, will end up as follows :

- 1) Portugal
- 2) Mexico
- 3) Iran
- 4) Angola

[My prediction is pretty meaningless because it's based on watching each team play once in this WC, and whoever goes through will be playing either Holland or Argentina in their first match of the next round. Neither Mexico or Portugal can beat either of those teams]
