Yeah, another disappointing night for you guys. I still expect England to get through the group stage so don't lose heart just yet. If I had the means to do so I would hunt down every motherfucker who has blown a vuvuzela at this tournament and shove it sideways up their arse. What pleasure do they get out of it? Brazil looked decent tonight. All the South American teams are looking strong so far. It has to be said that I'd rather HAVE to beat Slovenia than HAVE to beat Chile. But we're not going to beat Slovenia. They only need a draw. It will be 0-0, and to compound things the clowncar French will somehow get through. THE WORLD CUP IS OVER

I really hope the French don't get through. What a bunch of dicks. I think England might win maybe 2-0 against Slovenia and get through to the knockouts. Only then, waiting for them, will be the mighty Krauts ready to dish out a hammering. Really though, it doesn't matter how a team gets through the group stage, if they do make it to the knockout rounds then it's game on for everyone and every team is a potential winner. Italy drew all three group games in 1982 and were being written by everyone. They still manages to sneak through to the knockouts and went on to win the tournament. ![](http://www.footballitaliano.co.uk/images/articles/tardelli09072009.jpg)

Well, they played much better today and managed to beat the 5th smallest nation ever to play at the World Cup. But because they weren't able to score a second goal we won't be playing Ghanan in the Last-16 and Uruguay in the QF. No, with the way other results fell, we now have to go through Germany, Argentina and one of Netherlands/Portugal/Italy/Spain etc just to get to the final.
THE WORLD CUP IS OVER. OVER.

Uruguay for 3-time World Champions?
I'm not quite sure what to expect from the game tomorrow between England and Germany. England have been poor so far and Germany look like they are rolling along really strongly and look like potential winners. Then again, there is often a team who struggle through to the knockouts then hit the ground running when it really matters. I'm not sure if England are that team, but if they do get past the Germans tomorrow I wouldn't be surprised to see them make it to the final. I'm leaning towards the Germans sneaking it after extra-time, but it's a tough one to call.
Argentina should also get through tomorrow.

Kofi Kingston's going to be pretending to be Jamaican again for the next few weeks.

I didn't think England would win. But they somehow managed to play even worse than my lowest expectation.
That was, without doubt, the most embarrassing result... in Germany's history. How they didn't win that game 9-2 I do not know. I just cannot fathom how an International team can defend as poorly as that.
In conclusion: Cena sucks.

LOL.
I said before the game that I thought Germany were going to win 3-1. Germany have looked really good so far and England always falter in those sorts of games when it really matters. Looking back over the highlights they didn't play that badly, but their defence was abysmal. Germany were mugging them at will.
The Argies looked pretty good again last night. Argentina vs Brazil in the final would be pretty good.

lol @ GLF Looking back over the highlights they didn't play that badly, but their defence was abysmal. Germany were mugging them at will. If you only saw highlights then you didn't see the plethora of aimless long-range shots, mis-played passes, etc etc in addition to their Marcel Marceau impersonation of defending. And it's not even as if Germany played particularly well. They just waited for the England clown car to fall apart every couple minutes and then, once they had finished laughing, went up the field and took 5% of their chances. They scored from a goal kick, an England corner and an England thrown-in, for fuck's sake! Our goalkeeper was our best player, and we let in four goals! While it was depressing, I'm not even angry or anything about it, because it was just so comically, surreally bad. Even if you think these players are over-rated, how on Earth can they defend as badly as that? It's just baffling.

I'm really not feeling Brazil this year. I think they are going to get to the final and possibly win but I hope they don't. I'm kinda rooting for Argentina now. I can't even begin to imagine the crazy celebrations Maradona would indulge in if they won. Argentina vs Brazil in the final is looking like it could happen but Brazil usually get the better of them.

I hope a German forward leaps into the air and punches the ball into the goal in the QF
Then the Germans can lose a penalty shoot-out in the Semi-Final
Then we can all enjoy Paraguay vs Uruguay in the Final.

Uruguay have looked a very decent team so far. I'd like to see Ghana beat them and get to the semis but I think Uruguay will win. I'm pretty bummed about missing Holland vs Brazil tomorrow as it is the afternoon kick-off but hopefully the Dutch can do it. Spain should beat Paraguay. Argentina vs Germany is a tough one to pick. I think Argentina might just have a little bit too much for the Germans.
I'm predicting the semi-finals to be:
Argentina vs Uruguay
Spain vs Brazil
With the final being Argentina vs Brazil.

These silly soccer games are still happening? Just fucking with you guys. But someone had to Americanize this thread a little.
Also, fun fact. The proper name given to your "football" is soccer. It was played by rich people. Then poor people started playing it and called it football. Poor people are stupid so they don't get to name things.

Soccer is an English word for Football. Then they give us shit for using that one word but not the other 171 thousand words in the language.
