Completely agree mate - though the thing is we both know that we would still manage to feck it up vs the French and that they'd go on and win the thing
I don't think I could handle that - c'mon Brazil! lol- Post

I'd like 'Sagrincha' on mine - part of my nickname, part of Garrincha's nickname
Am looking forward to the upcoming matches...
Friday 4pm - Germany vs Argentina
Friday 8pm - Ukraine vs Italy
Saturday 4pm - Portugal vs England

Hopefully lots of goals, incidents and a few penalty shoot-outs

A bit of an off-shoot from the 'should Chewy/Leia get a medal' discussions...
During the Death Star trench run it is pretty clear that everything hinges on Luke, Wedge and Biggs making it to the exhaust port and delivering the torpedo that'll cause a chain reaction in the Death Star, and save the Rebellion from destruction on Yavin.
Now fair play to Biggs - he did his job and paid the price - like many other Rebel pilots.
Wedge gets hit a little later in the Trench Run - and apparently 'can't stay with you (to Luke)' - instead of hitting the air brakes and smashing into Vader's TIE - and therefore 'taking one for the team' - whilst leaving Luke a free shot at the exhaust port, he decides to bail out out of the fight completely - leaving the 3 Imperial TIEs a free shot at Luke!!!
To me I'm not sure how he could face anyone in the Rebellion again - surely he'd be known as the one who bottled out when it mattered - and didn't even fancy sacrificing himself for his beliefs in their greatest need?
Wedge is a wuss

Would it be so difficult for them to turn around and say that someone who headbutts another player gets an automatic 5 game ban, or elbows someone gets a 3 game ban, kicks someone off the ball, dives when there is not contact, feigns injury to the face or head when there is no contact, shirtpulls, surrounds and/or harass the referee and his offcials and so on...?

Definately not impressed with Henry's antics tonight - especially feigning that he had been hit in the face by Puyol when at most he was obstructed with little contact, of which the resulting freekick led to France taking the lead.
great player - but a twunt of a man.
I hope that FIFA takes the same action as they vs Rivaldo in the 2002 WC when he feigned a facial injury after being struck in the leg by a ball.
Hope Brazil beat them convincingly.

Brazil are 1/4 to beat Ghana over 90mins - not so generous odds...
I have this odd feeling Ronaldo will play poorly again - but bang in a couple of goals regardless

and then DROPPED by clueless Sven...
On the first day God created Crouch. On the second day God created Mania. On the third day Crouchamania ran wild on God.
Peter Crouch doesn't go to the toilet. The toilet goes to him.
The only question Peter Crouch has ever asked is 'Whatchyagonnado?'
Peter Crouch does not jog. He runs wild.
At the end of a day, Peter Crouch does not take his shirt off – he tears it off. Peter Crouch has never worn the same shirt twice.
The only time Peter Crouch has ever taken a bath is when he took one outside to give it the Legdrop of Doom.
Whoever Peter Crouch is dating on Valentine's Day receives the same poem, 'Roses are red, Violets are blue, I'm running wild, Whatchyagonnado?'
Peter Crouch never says 'pardon' or 'can you repeat that again please?'. He simply cups his hand to his ear until he hears whatever it is he has to hear.
Peter Crouch once wrote a two-hour English essay paper using just the words 'dude' and 'brotha'. He scored 93%.
He then used the exact same essay for a French exam. He scored 97%.
Peter Crouch does not make love. He runs wild.
This one time Peter Crouch entered a maze, and went on 'a mazy'. The maze gave up first.
Every girl Peter Crouch has ever been with claims he has a good touch for a big guy…
… and Peter Crouch has given every one of them the big boot… quickly followed by the Legdrop of Doom.
If you do not refer to Peter Crouch's arms as 'pythons', it is quite simply the last thing you will ever do.
When she was pregnant, Peter Crouch's mum did not feel her baby kicking – just the big boot. Mrs Crouch still gets bad wind today.
Peter Crouch did not turn down a starring role in 'Star Wars' because of wage-demands. It was because George Lucas would not allow Darth Vader to give Obi-Wan the Legdrop of Doom.
Peter Crouch does not pass water. He takes it on his chest, holds it up, then passes water.
There are seven Wonders of the World, each of whom one day hopes to meet Peter Crouch.
Upon hearing the news that Peter Crouch was in the studio audience, three Government ministers refused to go on Question Time in case they were asked 'Whatchyagonnado?'
Peter Crouch once bumped into Chuck Norris at an airport. Norris responded with a roundhouse kick. Crouch shrugged, got on his plane, went back to Liverpool, then gave Chuck Norris the big boot. Chuck Norris has not been seen or heard from since.
Peter Crouch once won a game of chess with just three pieces left when his rook started 'hulking up'. Peter Crouch does not know – or care – how to play chess - but he would win every game.
Peter Crouch does not walk into a building unless accompanied by the theme tune to 'The A-Team'.
Peter Crouch did not lose his virginity – he simply threw it away when he had no use for it anymore.
The founders of Spain chose red and yellow as their national colours in the hope that one day Peter Crouch would want to play for their football team.
Peter Crouch bodyslams Hope on a daily basis.
Peter Crouch cannot walk down the street without clotheslining at least five innocents. He subsequently receives at least five apologies for 'python disturbance'.
Traffic delays don't just happen – they happen because Peter Crouch is there, and Crouch can hold up anything.
Peter Crouch does not get erect – he hulks up. Scientists now believe that this, and not America, is the planet's greatest threat to climate change.
Peter Crouch once held an eight-hour argument with his English teacher, who claimed that 'Whatchyagonnado' was a six-word sentence. The argument finished with the school's headteacher under a broken classroom table due to a Legdrop of Doom.
The missing dialogue at the end of 'Lost in Translation' saw Bill Murray's character whispering to Scarlett Johansson's, "Yes it's true babe – I am indeed a Crouchamaniac."
That is all.

I like cider myself - used to get through a fair bit in my early 20's - was great knocking several pints back after the loads of football I was playing at the time.
Don't drink half as much now - but have branched out into the proper 'home-made' brand ciders - the type of still stuff with bits of apple and pear floating about in it - just the 1 pint is enough these days

16 yellow and 4 red cards - nearly everyone of them deserved, plus Figo only gets a yellow card for headbutting an opponent!!! I wonder if FIFA will somehow upgrade it to a red card or give him a ban for several games?
As it stands Deco and Costinha will miss the England game - maybe Figo and anyone else that'll get caught doing something they shouldn't have done by the tv cameras...
made for great tv and an exciting game
Re England - again Sven shows his lack of balls by changing the team around to suit the 'big name' players at the expense of the team ethic. 1-0 and a shite poor perfromance vs Ecuador - who probably created more chances and playr more fluid football. Still, at the end of the day England are through - just, but will surely have to finally up their game vs a good and technical Portugal team...

Also disallowed a 3rd Aussie goal at the end - which could have been a penalty as the forward was hauled down - but instead decided to blow his whistle for fulltime! lol
So inept it is laughable.
Congrats to Ghana, Italy, Brazil and most impressively Australia for qualifying for the knockout stages.

The turning of Anaking to the Dark Side should have been central to the Prequel Trilogy - instead we got an insipid scene which would not be out of place on a kids tv show.
It seems that anything to do with Star Wars lately has been a disappointment - form the prequels to Lucas' comments and dvd decisions...

Have been told by someone who has links with Madrid that Ronaldo is suffereing from 'renal problems' - partly brought on my dieting unhealthily (after almost binging) combined with the physical demands of being a pro footballer. If so a shame - but goes to show what happens if you abuse your body for years whilst being a pro sportsman - eventually it will catch up with you - and in a big way.
Apparently he is alos having problems with his agent and his close cirlce of friedns at the moment - so his head may be not be 'right' recently either...
