World Cup 2006

World Cup 2006

How can an English Fan Force be without a football thread?
Since the football discussions partially took over the future planning thread, it seemed clear that we are in need for a place where we can talk about the world cup games to our heart?s content.
So, have fun! I?ll be posting the games that are on on the day, as well as the results of previous games. All you need to do is watch the games and comment

You're missing 4 groups...

 

I was just checking if everyone was paying attention!

 

Actually theres two. World Cup thread and talk about everything football thread.

Plus a Come on England thread, featuring pictures of me.

 

Can I start a Come On Holland Thread?

 

OK I meant like the South. I somehow don't hang out in the big forum, they scare me...

 

I'm fed up with the world cup allready and it's not even started. There's just far too much talk about this wayne rooney and his foot.

 

I'm not an English footy fan, but go Australia and Ukraine.

Some trivia: This is Australia's first world cup in 32 years...

 

Yes, and they have a good chance this year, they have some top quality players


Although I worry about their defense

 

The question that moves the nation most... *wipes tears of laughter*

 

GER:CRC
4:2

 

Wow, Poland are losing, that is not expected

 

I reckon Australia will knock Brazil out. Quite literally in fact

 

They broke Holland's midfield. A few well placed tackles and Brazil will be completely injured

 

Well, the Holland team has recovered now
So the Aussies don't tackle very hard

 

If they can injure Brazil enough to guarantee victory for themselves and Japan I'll be happy

 

If Australia gets second in the group I'm happy

 

POL:ECU
0:2


that hurts...

next games:

June 10th 2006
ENGAR 15:00
TRI:SWE 18:00
ARG:CIV 21:00

Come on England!

I'm gonna try and get work near the TV department at work. Thank God this is the only England game that I'll be at work for.

 

I don't have a TV, so either I'm gonna invite myself at the neighbours or listen via radio. But England is SO gonna win!

 

Well, England are winning
But they seem to have a monster referee, so I hope he's not gonna send people off for minor things

 

ENGAR
1:0


it was nice to watch the English play though, much better than the Polish team yesterday (I'm still not over that one)

 

Sweden aren't doing as well as they should either
With all those quality players I would expect them to do better



Although Hislop is playing very well
