18th again.

Sign him up. Sounds genuinely the best free player we'd have a chance of getting in this transfer window.

He was class against us, can't say I know much else about him. He'll do for cover I suppose but I hope the Championship isn't the limit of our ambition.

Stevie's Waterloo? Why because you, another Asian and a lad from Burnley thought the ref had a good game? Because you're a racist cunt. How am I racist cunt for suggesting that in my opinion the referee was out of his depth YOU FUCKIN MASSIVE NOB. The only reason you're even suggesting that is because of your Asian heritage you fuckin arsehole. You're a bad as a scouser on the fiddler, or someone who cries rape when they haven't been. Indeed, anyone would have done the same in that situation, he rolled the dice, ultimately saved his team and will miss the biggest game his country have played in for 60 years. If a Ghana player had done it Chiles would be hailing his ingenuity. exactly "why do we do this to ourselves" he just said as if we're all fucking ghanain, just toss MD out of the studio and be impartial instead of a bunch of bandwagoning cunts If they'd got through to the semis, I guarantee Chiles would have blacked up for it. ahahahaha like Louie on Trading Places. A quick look at wiki states that he was voted best ref in Asia two years running. He otherwise referees in the Uzbek League, I've played for pub teams of better quality than some in that league no doubt, you can't have referees from minnow leagues refereeing games which could define a countries history. If Paraguay for example won the WC it would be the biggest achievement in the countries history, in any way shape or form, that's how big this competition is, again I use the example of Chelsea v Barcelona, Norwegian ref out of his depth, not used to high octane, high paced, high importance football, it's a total abomination of the sport asking someone to referee a life defining game in front of 1 billion people from a country with a monkey holding a melon slice upside down on its' flag. I'm not Asian, you racist cunt, but keep at it.

Ghana were the better team but they lacked the bottle when it mattered most. That mackem with his one-step runup

Class result, get in you Dutch!

Should rename this thread "Stevie's Waterloo." Utter nonsense from Stevie, class from the ref. Dutch really have pulled it together in the last 25 minutes, they look a completely different side.

Netherlands have looked helpless. Brazil toying with them. Won't be long before they'll score again and it'll be game over.

It's awful, typical cheap as chips charva shit. Whatever swirly shit is going on with the keeper kit should be locked away in Alcatraz and never spoken of again.

Redknapp. I despise him. I suppose he would be good though, probably better than Capello, and there's no financial aspect to England so he can't send them into administration...can he?

If Capello were a man he'd walk. Doubt he will and he will be sacked. I would've had Hodgson to replace him but it appears Woy is headed to Liverpool. Really can't think of another decent candidate.

That looked a flagrant dive from Torres. The Chilean should've been off already for an earlier tackle but Torres went down clutching his face when his ankle AT MOST got a feather touch.

Really didn't think we were anything special. Compared to the dross from the previous two matches it was a huge improvement but we completely took our feet off the gas in the second half and seemed tentative and weak, settling for 1-0 instead of pressing on to try to win the group.

Christ, USA have won. Goddamn Algerians literally cannot do anything right. Pretty feeble performance from England. I hope there's not going to be back-patting from Capello and the rest of the England camp. We played like shit and squeaked through.

Vastly improved performance there. Encouraging signs. Lampard should've buried that in the empty net, useless as always. Rooney looks off the pace again as well. COME ON ENGLAND!

In fairness, they're only talking about a loan. I'd be happy if we were really in for him.

End of the line for both France and RSA. Sad to see the latter go but truly laughable stuff from France.

France truly dissolving now SA just had another one disallowed for offside, these sad frogs may as well go home at halftime.

I'll be watching France/SA, I'm guessing Mex-Uruguay will be a wink-wink nudge-nudge "accidental" draw and thus 90 minutes of true drivel.

Everybody's probably seen this pic a hundred times already but anyway.

American commentator: "I think it'd be fair to say New Zealand beat Italy 1-1." They're at it again!

Actually, I found Pascal le canard hilarious.

And this is not an overreaction either. We had no right to be happy with a draw with USA but it could've been written off if we'd showed up against Algeria and Slovenia, but if we couldn't even beat this shower of half-French journeymen we're in very real danger of not making it out of the group stage. Slovenia will fancy it and they've got every right.

This load of worthless wankers want fucking shooting tbh. Capello can go with them. Just what is he playing at, the idiot, starting Heskey and Barry and playing Gerrard on the left wing ffs. His subs were diabolical as well. Rooney looked like he couldn't be arsed. Worst performance from him I have ever seen. The lot of them are a disgrace.
