Official World Cup Thread (Sweepstake in OP)

Planning on watching every game I can. Going to miss the 5pm ones during the week though due to work. Might catch the 2nd half of some.

Apart from England's which will mean finishing work early to get to the pub on time

 

Opposite for me. They're on too late so miss the later kickoffs as I'll need sleep. Earlier kickoffs I watch / listen to whilst at work.

 

And the light fittimg!

Zidane netting twice to help beat Brazil.

Also had the FIFA Road to World Cup '98 game.

 

Sleep tomorrow morning

 

Bluff (Cameroon), Mighty_Stevie_G (Crotia) and DirtyFrank (Spain) so far not enjoying their sweepstake teams.

 

First tournament I remember is Italia 90. Don't recall much of Euro 92 or USA 94 but Euro 96 was immense! France 98 was good too. I correctly predicted the right winners for France 98, Euro 2000, Japan 2002 and Euro 2004 #onarole

 

Got two appointments

If it wasn't a **** game I'd stay up. Still might yet

 

Spain lost 1-0 to Switzerland in their first game at the World Cup in Africa.

 

Argentina 78? My favourite world cup Tika tape welcomes,Kempes,Menotti chain smoking,Gemmill,Cubillas etc.

Great memories

 

In a game they dominated and somehow lost due to one mistake.

Bit different to a 5-1 thumping

 

Didn't come from Amazon today - luckily! I'll do it tomorrow. Daughter whining as she has to go for a dump in the dark (or use the torch) if she gets up in the night. I just leave the door open and let the landing light shine through. Now she's wittering about how she can't wait to go to uni...

Mexico was mint. As was Mexico '70, for those of us THAT old. I was a kid then, but my dad always reckoned that was the best English team to leave these shores - better than the '66 team.

 

Rem that well. All at my mates and his parents come in to severly bollovk him because he broke into next doors house, to ring porn lines..... while they were house sitting for her while she was on hols

 

Why do you need to see? Surely once your sitting down you don't need to aim, just check the lid isn't still down and the seat is down. Don't want to fall through and get stuck.

 

Spain dominated the opening 30-35 minutes. Holland pretty much scored their first against the run of play. Holland were definitely the better side after that though as the score suggests.

 

We started doing that in the school yard when we went out on dinner break. ****ing caretaker moaned and we all got detention.

 

Dominated possession but had 1 chance (Silva) and got a lucky pen.

Sneijder has a chance so from that point was even.
