Damn, 1-1.

I WANT 5 STARS ON YOUR SHIRT ITALY.

I agree. I want Italy to lose every game, incredibly painfully.

There's one thing we can agree upon.

Vuvuzelas go BZZZZZZZZZ and the crowd makes that generic stadium noise. I don't know how the players stay focused.

Ahh, so its in the thumb placement.
Seriously, that noise just unlocks some blind rage within me. At least add some holes and play a jig.

At least at England games we can't hear all that rubbish the band plays.
Talking of which that footage of Green needs the Dambusters theme, the way the bomb skips towards him and up and over his fingers, the only difference is that loads of Dutch didn't drown after the ball went in the net, but you can't have everything.
I expected Japan to win, they always lift their game for the World Cup, and Cameroon had key players injured or in a huff. Didn't bet on it though

Paraguay are always crap away from altitude, but Italy can't win anything right now, I hope.

Reading the Greek newspapers (online) I have discovered why Greece are performing so badly. The usual story I am afraid. Egos within the team not listening to the coach and playing the way they want to play on the field. Hence the complete lack of team play and the open arguments between players during the game.
Karagounis the captain being one of them, it's unsurprising he did nothing in the first half and was brought off afterwards, dramatically declaring he will tell all when the World Cup is over.
What he doesn't seem to grasp is that everything is over unless he listens to the manager who won them the Euro 04 Championship, sadly our wonderful captain thinks he won it all by himself. This has been why Greek teams always fail despite having decent players and Greek teams often doing decently in European games.
We won Euro 04 by playing as a team, disciplined right through, and riding our luck sometimes. This shower are just sulking.
I don't suppose there is much pride in being Greek right now, but dammit, this will be for many of them their only chance to shine at the top.

Your players need a good slap on their face.

As for the vuvuzelas, although it might be annoying for a lot of people watching the games on the TV, apparently the fans in the stadium say that the atmosphere is ecstatic.

New Arsenal away kit:

Very nice design, not too sure about the red currant shorts though. Will probably buy it, first away kit I'll have bought in a long time. Kudos for having Fabs modelling the kit, eat that Barca plebs. :toughninja:

The Slovakia - New Zealand match is looking much better in the second half. Something is actually happening.

» Fri May 27, 2011 9:12 pm

*Cough* Arsenal!

New Zealand have been a bit pinned back by Slovakia, they do need the All-Blacks.
And Weiss is a good player, who does he play for in his day job?
