My motor home is for holidays only mate off again end off next week its bricks and mortar for living in the trouble is you go away and then have to spend the day you get back catching up with bloody gardening

Yeh going really well settled in the new house. I know what you mean by gardening that's what I was doing for the last few weeks .But it's looking good now.still it's took my mind off England's pathetic world cup performance.

anyone see Holland mexico? superb ending, robben is a remarkable diver though, how he doesn't get more yellow cards is beyond me!

 

[Ron]

I saw the whole game. Mexico didn't deserve to lose in 90 mins but I think they would have lost anyway in extra time; Holland were getting on top.

Robben is famous for conning the refs but he got away with cheating yet again!

superb match tonight, really felt for the USA by the end but a really excellent match in what is proving to be the best world cup for years now!

 

[Ron]

The best match so far jose. I was willing USA to equalise. What an effort by them; totally knackered but threw everything at Belgium and so unlucky. USA can be very proud of themselves for that performance. If only all team showed such commitment.

Looking forward to France v Germany,anyone remember the german keeper "taking out" the french striker in The Euro's in the 80's?

totally agree on this bit, great to see players with pride and desire to play for their country - lets find some English ones like this!!!

Finding a winner very difficult to call at this stage, I have a suspicion that the germans might do it but really I wouldn't be surprised if 7 of the 8 left (the exception being costa rica) went on to win it

Congratulations to the Germans and to anyone who predicted the 7-1 rout of Brazil last night

 

[josewwfc]

how good were Germany last night? just sublime!!!

 

[Guywanderer]

Glad we got knocked out in the group stage as a humiliating defeat like would have been hard to get over

And how bad were Brazil,in all my years i have never seen a Brazil side as bad as this one.Some of their players should not be picked again like Luiz,Hulk and Fred who would struggle in League 1.

Your forgetting Cesar, Maicon, Dante, Marcelo and Gustavo

Yep. Would have been difficult not to mention the war. I mentioned it once but i think I got away with it.

 

[Ron]

Makes you wonder how Brazil got that far.

I see the name Blatter has been splattered about recently. Crooked or what?

 

[mowgli1960]

"Stop talking about the war"

"Well you started it"

"No we didn't"

"Yes you did you invaded Poland"



A classic!
