Any hear souness saying your man got raped !
1-0 to Slovenia. First world cup win in their history, delighted.
Just to further underline the significance of this achievement, Slovenia is as divided among different sports as Ireland in terms of resources and participation. Skiing is extremely popular and handball, basketball and ice hockey are just as popular as football.
Any hear souness saying your man got raped !
Ahhh
Id say he feels real bad now !
Ahhh
Souness is a pratt, he keeps calling Ghana 'Guyana'
If, buts and maybes aside, I have little doubt we'd have played better than Greece and Algeria have thus far. We wouldn't be putting anyone away by 2 and 3 goals (unless they're Saudi Arabia) but even during our numerous draws and ultimate defeats we played well. Above ourselves at times.
So yeah, a better showing...I think so.
Really looking forward to this match hopefully its not a let down like all the other games
Ahhh
2-0 germany, should be 3 or 4 ! 300th post yay !!
Ahhh
Silly me for daring to write off Germany's chances. The machine is rolling sweeter than ever! Ballack would only have slowed these lads down.
Altitude? Ball physics? Pfffffft. This is how plucky outsiders are dealt with. Take note, England.
Finally good to see a decent game, hopefully theres a few more goals in this
Ahhh
Anyone else hear the German national anthem introduced as "Deutschland Deutschland ueber alles" by Stephen Alkin? Wonder what Hamann in studio made of that one?
First really decent game of the tournament (was only flicking in and out of Mexico-South Africa in work, which looked fairly good). Some woeful games though.
Cahill's sending off was nonsense. They wouldn't have gotten anything from the Germany game, but the tie against Ghana is all or nothing, and he'll be missing for it. Austraila do remind me of Ireland around the end of 95 though.
4-0 Germany, great game
Ahhh
Of course Brazil, Spain, Holland to come in the next few days, but Germany look like real contenders based on that showing. Didn't know much about Khedira, but he was outstanding, Ozul and Muller also looked promising. Australia were poor, but plenty of free-flowing end-to-end play.
I'm pleasantly surprised. A strong Germany is good for the tournament. Dutch and Italians to come tomorrow but I doubt the latter will pull a clutch of rabbits out of their hat like the Germans did tonight.
True. But we didn't look anaemic and out of our depth whilst trying.
