Mexico just gone 1-0 up against France!

Still half an hour or so left, but....



Wish I hadn't put Evra in my dream team now though!

Mexico have played brilliantly tonight.
Thats the MAn U striker isnt it that got the goal? 4am here, and my eyes are squinting in the dark

Germany were quite good but, no disrepect intended, they weren't up against much.

tomorrow afternoon against serbia will be much tougher for the germans
but they will manage

:thu:

Hands down Orange, German has no competition in their group, maybe Ghana a little?
Otherwise, hands down they are through to the finals.

I don't think he plays for Man Utd, but I could well be wrong.

The scorer was Javier Hernández Balcázar who joins man u on the 1st July.

Looks like a pretty solid player so far as well.

All superstars, no leader other than maybe Henri, who is benched....their Dominos coach is a idiot, and they cant stand him, he never changes game play at half time.....
They need zu zu back
Go the headbutting zu zu

Bleh...

To hell with this worldcup for today...

Three terrible games IMO.



I hope Ivory Coast, Holland & Ghana do better.

Yeah, I just don’t get it!!

Henry is IMO their best player by far (even if he did maybe hand the ball ever so slightly against ireland. ) so why the hell is he on the bench!

And trust me I’ve heard quite alot about the coach as well.....Most of which I can’t really mention here since it’s kind of against the t&c annoyingly.

Naaa! If you ask me Zidane went out like a true Legend!
That'll all be ruined if he comes back and then he'll just have to go and head butt someone else before receiving the same legendary status.

Actually 3 of the best games so far in the World cup IMO..... the tournament has been pretty awful really but I thought the games today were some of the better games of the World cup.

Goodbye France...terrible team all round, absolutely no passion.

This has been a crap World Cup so far, where are all of the so called 'world class' players?

Did someone mention passion?



Is anyone having fun this World Cup?



Go North Korea!

You were right zazz as Rising Against just stated the guy who scoredthe first goal has just signed for Man Utd.

France were woeful and something is seriously wrong in their camp.
There were rumours before the tournament started, obviously right.

Ribery was a shadow of the player he can be.
Anelka was 'Le Sulk'.
They had no desire.

They can still qualify, but let's hope!

It's early day's, not even half way through the group stage, and thing's are getting better.

North Korea are class, especially their Chinese actor supporters!

Well Im kind of glad France wont make it to the next round...they dont deserve to be there after that goal they scored with Henry's hand, which made them qualify over Ireland

Karma

Ireland would have made more of an effort than France as well.

My Irish friends have repeatedly been telling me;

"Anyone but France or England!"

Let's hope that now they've got their wishes on one they end up being very disapointed on the other!

Starting to get in the mood for tonight!

Here's a song some friends of mine released as a single....your's truly guest's on backing vocals.
It's hardly deep and meaningful or spiritual, it is Oi, but I think it's very good!
