World Football Thread XX: Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

[MikeH]

I think the world cup thread could go in the main forum, it's as much about jingoism and banter as it is about football?

[duke o' york]

How long until the 12 hours are up?

Or is it the thread about Asher trying to pull in French? That was pretty confusing...

[Dauphin]

If there is interest in the score predictor for the World Cup, I don't mind organising.

Or rather, if no one beats me to it, I will set one up in the main forum by the weekend and see if anyone participates.

[Maquiladora]

Very well, the league is called

Asher's Straight Mate

, and you need the pin 27616 in order to join.

"Escobar's Young Guns" now also pending.

[azzaman333]

New Zealand will win the World Cup of sheep ****ing.

[duke o' york]

Escobar's lads are now a fixture in the league. Well, I say fixture but have just spotted that I can remove teams from the league in a snip, and with the fact that Torres is doubtful to be fit, and Tevez hasn't merited a starting place in any of the 'experts' suggested Argentina line-ups, then that may be the only way I could win.

[Cort Haus]

Domenech's a ****.

Apologies to *****.

[duke o' york]

Nice job to the US.

[Drake Tungsten]

Nice job to Robert Green.

[Frozzy]

Good to see the "woe is us" English press is still kicking.

I thought England played worse against Switzerland in Euro 96 personally and they were unlucky to lose that tournament.

[Cort Haus]

A typically feeble England performance, I thought. Mind you, watching Algeria v Slovenia at the moment, both USA and England should fancy their chances of getting through the group.

[Cort Haus]

Though having said that I wouldn't be at all surprised if USA and England came 3rd and 4th.

[Kitschum]

Slovenia is the new Greece. Poor Algeria never stood a chance.

[Dauphin]

Stevie G said the whole team was behind Robert Green following his mistake, but if that were true you'd have thought one of them would have cleared the ball off the line.
