1998 france - france

Arent WE awesome?!! that was beautiful! you should have seen it! the eiffel tower!! Les champs Elysee, the shouts outside in the local pizzeria (because there we watch football matches in pizzeria not pub) and then my sis born a few weeks later. 1998 FTW

(ive contradicting myself about a million time up there ^^)

Christiano Ronaldo...just his NAME sounds greasy... *shiver*

Talking about National Anthem, i LOVE watching the players not knowing the lyrics and just trying to move their lips, ROFL or just looking at the "diversity" of players for different team. Quite entertaining i must say.

'Meat' is an anagram 'team' so.......

So you should have meat on the day your team plays Biggrin

Lol
so do u actually remember this happening in 1998? mA u have a great memory!

well...we DID win the world cup..and the world cup WAS happening in the country... LOOL!!
but yeah.
Zidane all the way!! he left the world of football in true beauty, representing the real values of the suburb of London: Insult mum or sister and prepare to die. this is what we live by. (and, in france, this completely overshadowed us loosing the cup, and no one talked about Italy. Just of Zidane =D)

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

Slovakia is currently on course just about to knocking Italy out of the world cup. 2-1 to Slovakia, but Italy's first was just a few minutes ago and they scored again, but it was offside.

On the Wimbledon front, I hear the last set is not 68-68... quite the marathon.

Unless they think Ivory Coast can absolutely hammer North Korea AND Brazil can absolutely hammer Portugal, they are just playing for position, which considering the weak threat of Group H is no big deal to either team. I expect entertainment rather than aggression this time.

When do they play?

Japan won. Danmark lost. I'm doubly happy.

North Korea 0 - 2 Ivory Coast

When titans clash, the results are generally ugly.

Cant wait til tomorrow/later today

c'moooon Germay!!!

(not to do with countries/nationalism at all- just that the Germans play fast, exciting football and England are long-ball/set piece merchants).

Don't just do something! Stand there.

I say the 2nd half is ours.

haha...
someone said this to me at halftime and i told him a number of reasons why it WOULDN'T pla out like that, and Germany would go on to win comfortably.

I saw him again at the end of the game and he looked like he'd just had a big portion of humble pie.

It was TRULY glorious, being an undercover Germany fan in a PACKED out camden pub.

If only there was a word for happiness at the misfortune of others...

Don't just do something! Stand there.

Lol @ what Power of Silence said in tribune "the day England got beaten by the Nazis 1-4"

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

Maybe if Gooners hadn't gone around saying all that we'd have gone on to win. Bloody Gooners.

Spain is busy sending Ronaldo home as I write. They will face Paraguay in the next round. I am favouring South America in all intercontinental games by default.

Japan. Out.
I'm heartbroken

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

Holland, Brazil, Ghana, Uruguay, Germany, Argentina, Paraguay, Spain

?

I like the maths of that (though spain should not be discounted, even though they always eventually disapoint).

Besides, I am sure we can make it look like a pyramid too.

Or Germany or Holland, and Spain did knock out Chile (South American teams are playing well, maybe better suited to the high altitude climate is my only logic). Maybe my rule should be South American teams can only get knocked out by Spain. This is just to let you know I sure ain't being scientific. Blum 3
