thats what i thought? one or the other (penalty pref.), IMO too many players had average games, but how about the commentary in the first half when Carlos hit the side netting:

"Well covered by semen(sic)"

Childish I know but it made me laugh at 08:00 on my third pint!!!

Shame there was no chance for a "Butt well covered by Seaman"

It's not up to that old Motson classic.

"The Germans have possession. Kuntz."

You all piss me off. You got to see the game. I just came home and I've got 3hrs of ****ing golf taped. I wont even get see the game. I think I have the USA-Germany game taped, but its probably Barney instead. ****ing ESPN!!!!!

[SpencerH]

Its not barney but the next (worse) thing, only american commentators - no georgio, no tommy smyth

you wouldn't be Italian by any chance would you?

I'm not Italien and I dont want the Koreans to go further. As of this instant, I'm fully supporting the Ottomans!

Oh god, I've just watched the highlights again, and the football was sh1tter than in '96, the fighting spirit of '96 was nowhere to be seen, the Oasis song they played was sh!tter than the Oasis songs of '96, the weather in Bristol is twice as sh!t as in '96, and I'm not 23 like I was in '96.

We've got nowhere! England is still sh!t! How do we stop this???

[reds4ever]

some muppet went on the jukebox in the pub i was watching it in and put that inspid, depressing Oasis song on six or seven times on the bounce. it killed the pub faster than Radiohead!

[Gazablanca]

that song's quite good...but not 7 times on the bounce,I agree.........

I am a mix... my mom is Spanish and my dad is Italian.

[reds4ever]

Gaz,
not bad song, yeah, but not exactly a party tune to get the place back rocking after the game?;O)

Fez,
boy, you've every reason to hope they lose!!!!

Hmm, I wonder how well Brazil would have fared had the game been played in a pissing downpour and a sodden field rather than the heat and humidity that was...

I have no idea why the Brazilian was sent off though ... Seaman looked positively puzzled by it for instance. After the first half the referee really seemed to lose it ... suspect calls going both ways were too numerous. This in contrast to his performance in the first half, which was rather good.

I think the English forwards and the English defence did a good job today. It was in the midfield where the problems were - especially lobbing these damned innaccurate long balls forward all the time. They really were not doing their job very well today for whatever reason. And can someone tell me what Scholes was doing on that team? The number of England screw-ups traceable back to him in many games is just a little too much.

Just because Beckham didn't get a yellow for diving doesn't mean he didn't dive.
